I have a file with imported geometry from autoCAD and some additional geometries drawn in 3ds (with "sweep"). I gave all geometries the same white material - but the ones drawn in 3ds generate a strange gradient/shadow. I tried to apply other materials and a UVW-map, nothing changed.
Attached a rendering. Where the arrow points to there should be the same white color. What can I do?
I try to sweep along spline that made of elliptical arc and line.
Funny thing that I was able to create a solid few days ago by doing this method. Now I can't!
I tried even reload Autocad.
My profile style settings are great but my Horizontal Geometry Text is overlapping. I want to be able to drag the text to keep it legible. Simlar to PI and PB labels on the horizontal alignment.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI made a complex gradient showing all spectral colors in Photoshop. Now I would like to have exactly this gradient in my Illustrator's gradient-palette. Is this possible somehow? At least it is not possible to load the Photoshop-.grd-file into Illustrator.
Of course I know that I can insert the Photoshop-gradient as a picture into any Illustrator document and that is exactly what I intended to do and actually do with it right now. But I also want to use it in conjunction with Illustrators diagram tool, which does not allow to fill the space below a graph with a picture, but which allows to fill this space with Illustrators own gradients. Thus it would be great if there was a way to transfer the Photoshop gradient to Illustrator and not having to start from scratch there again.
Meanwhile I have to copy the graph out of the diagram, putting it on a dedicated layer and there make a clipping mask together with the afore inserted Photoshop-pixel-gradient. This is not very elegant, when you must do this several times...
I'm talking about CS 5.5
I try to got an color gradient from the outer side to the inner side of this geometry
the problem : The bandwidth of the gradient should be more or less the same in all areas of the green geometry(means the whole spectrum of the colors). And the gradient has to go perpendicular from the outer to the inner side.
I need to isolate the objects casting the shadow and the shadow itself. I can't seem to get things to work. And Rendering out with even the object underneath it as a solid white is proving more difficult then I imagined to get the gradient shadows.
How do I do this. Again, I am fairly certain it's a render elements thing, but 'Shadow' isn't producing it.The scene is using Mental Ray, A&D materials, a skylight (no other lighting).I've included an image. I need the objects shown, the subtle shadow, but NOT the solid white chunk behind it.
at least as far as anything beyond re-sizing and basic stuff goes.
I want to create a shaded area that goes from light to dark (a gradient?), so as to create the effect of a book page (sort of), as in the images on this page: [URL]
I have done something similar in Paint Shop Pro, a long time ago, but the details escape me.
I have a webpage that has a gradient background that extends down the page at least 800 px and is set to repeat-x. I have an auto centerd column which has a background applied to it. The background is set to repeat-y. The center column has a dropshadow applied all the way around it. The problem is that I am not able to get the drop shadow to blend in with the gradient as the page grows. Initially at the top of the gradient where it, the gradient, is the darkest, the drop shadow blends in. But as the gradient moves down, i.e., becomes lighter, the drop shadow ceases to blend in any more. is it possible to solve this problem? If so then how?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to model an internal 1/8"-27 NPT thread, both the through hole and the tapered part of the hole are modeled, but after I draw the helix and the polygon and orient the polygon to the helix correctly, (or even if I don't, I have tried it) it keeps saying unable to sweep object. I am using Sweep with Alignment with the No option. If I select the polygon first, then click sweep, it works, but rotates the polygon so that what I get ends up looking nothing like a thread profile.
I have tried reducing the polygon radius down to a ridiculously small value, thinking it might have been interference due to a possible trig miscalculation, but with no success, still have the same issue. FYI, I am using a .037" turn height for 27 TPI and a polygon radius of .0214", with a helix small end radius of .177" and large end radius of .189".
Solution to getting a horizontal sweep to miter with a vertical sweep? Or maybe there is a way to pick a path? A feature in the full version that Autodesk deemed unnecessary for LT.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been experiencing problems with the Gradient editor since I got PS and the problem is that whenever I create a gradient through the gradient editor and then load it, it does load it and instead just duplicates the ones that already exist.
I save all gradients at:

However it does (mostly) work when I import pre-made (from web) Gradients.
I don't know why this happens but it also did the same thing when I had CS5.5!
If I go full screen with an image and come back to windowed view the top menu bar that contains the hand, view,rotate, arrange documents and screen mode items is lost and replaced with that part of the full screen image that was in that location. There is no way of recovering the menu bar, which is still invisibly active, unless CS4 is restarted.
Otherwise CS4 is not working too bad except for the trailing images following window movements, jerky rotate and the fact that Topaz adjust throws out of memory messages unless Photoshop memory is reduced to 700Mb.

I've been adding English text to an Italian comic. This involves whiting out the original text and then inserting new (translated) text.
I keep encountering the same problem every time I alter a few pages. Namely, the font changes slightly. It does this without my making any changes to the character settings whatsoever. The only way I can correct the problem is to close the program and reopen it. Or, if that fails, which it often does, restart my pc. My OS is Windows XP Pro, by the way.
To illustrate what's happening, I've posted two comic pages. The first shows the font as it should be, the second as it shouldn't. Note the difference in the letter I.
Does anybody know how to stop this occurring?
I've been playing around with PS for over 18 months and I've never had this happen. My cursor changed to cross hairs and will not change back. Even when I pick a brush that should be round like the Clone Stamp Tool, Eraser, Healing brush etc. I thought maybe my Preferences got corrupted and checked there but nada.

In Bridge, I have a portrait orientation shot that I want marked, and I hit "8" for the green label and it changes the orientation to landscape, every time! Huh? CS2 never did that...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've never had this before, but when it happens it refreshes everything every time i interact with photoshop, which makes it very annoying. I made a new canvas, and the suddenly with every brush stroke or click of a button or whatever, the "new document" window pops up with most of its controls missing for a split second, and any drop down menus i recently used quickly appear.
Then the screen all refereshes and it goes away. This happens quickly. I managed to grab a screen shot when it did it though, showing a distorted menu appear quickly. I'm guessing its my video drivers, right?
I mean, its not a huge problem because a simple restart of photoshop sorted it out, and ive never had it happen before, but io thought it best to tell just as a notice if Adobe know anything about what could be causing it. I have the newest video drivers installed which has enabled photoshop to work on dual moniotors with open gl and also had a refresh prefomance increase in certian other areas.
I was working in a drawing doing some copying/pasting from marquee selections. Somehow I now have a light blue line stretching horizontally from one side of the screen to the other. It runs out past the canvas of the drawing to the edges of the PS window.
I think it occured while I was switching tools with hotkeys and my computer lagged a little bit. It's like a gridline, but I can't find anyway to delete/turn off/move it. When I make a marquee it seems to snap to it as a boundary.
This line doesn't appear in other drawings, so it's just something that I've done in this particular file.
Have Eizo CE210W Monitor calibrated using Eizo software and a SpyderPro2. In CS3, Bridge, and Camera Raw, the shadow areas in pure grayscale black and white pictures are dark olive green rather than pure black.
This is true for both jpg and RAW. However, the same photo open at the same time in Microsoft Photo Viewer is pure black, no green. Workspace in Photoshop is set to Adobe RGB. Any ideas?
Recently downloaded some images from our ftp server. When I open the files in photoshop - the resolution appears as 299.99 dpi. When a co-worker opens it - the resoltion appears as 72 dpi. Both have the same file size and pixel dimensions.
Any ideas? Just trying to find the "true" resolution. Only difference that we can see is that I am using CS3 - my co-worker is using Photoshop 6.
I recently built a new computer. In getting all my old favorite programs reinstalled I have found that when I am trying to export using the PNG format with alpha well the alpha is quite strange. If I view it in Irfanview it gives this weird effect like there is a background in certain areas, more directly in back of the main image.
Maybe it's Irfanview but no I just checked it out in XNView as well and the same thing.
what's causing this strange exprort bug?? Is there an specific update I need.
The image in jpg is a direct save to that format in Irfanview so you can see what I'm talking about.
Normally I search for my issues in forums, but this one is so specifically strange that I am having trouble finding a solution.
I have an image with 8 visible layers. I am unable to erase or draw on any of them. Erasing does nothing, and drawing comes out pink in various shades no matter what color I choose.
If I create a duplicate layer of ANY of these layers, I can then erase and draw in them. I can hide the original layer. However, if I DELETE the original layer, "Quick Mask" becomes invisible under Channels. If I make "Quick Mask" visible again, I am back to square one on the new duplicate layer, pink colors and no erasing.
When I hover over the menu commands in Photoshop or Illustrator (both CS2), white rectangles appear behind the Menu Commands and so cluttering the otherwise nice GUI. As I experienced this before on another computer but still have no clue what is going wrong could someone give me a clue what's going on here? I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2.

I love GIMP. As soon as I discovered it I quit using photoshop (which was old and a resource hog, and simply too complicated for what I wanted) and have only used gimp for the last few years.
Since installing the New GIMP - which looks fantastic - I've discovered a weird lag. When I zoom in to a large image, say 1204x1204 / or the largest size your big digital camera will put out, and try to pan across the image I get this weird, sliced lagging? And I was just wondering if this was normal with the new GIMP, since I never experienced it that I recall in the old versions, or maybe there's something wrong with my computer? (Drivers maybe? Though I updated them semi-recently)
PS crashed yesterday and now I have blue boxes all over the shop!
