After GROWing a letter in a word by one or more pixels, I tried to STROKE the action and it didn't seem to work properly. I would like the letter to be totally filled with its solid color... but instead, it just seemed to outline the letter, leaving white space between the new GROW line and the actual letter.
how to end up with a "fatter" letter that's completely filled?
My Edit/Fill command (shift + F5) has suddenly turned into Grow. I've seen other people with this problem and the only solution I have seen up to now is to use (shift + delete) instead. That to me isn't a solution, it completely disrupts my workflow to try using a new key command that should be something else. I've also read about people deleting preferences, restarting, etc, and I've tried all of those things. I did have some issues with my Function keys because of something I had clicked in my finder preferences but I fixed that issue, and it seems that only Photoshop has lingering problems. And of course, my PSD keyboard shortcuts all look fine, nothing has changed there so something is overriding the keyboard shortcuts. Could it be something in my Photoshop preferences that I'm overlooking?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a older graphics program called Picture Publisher. I used this for years until I eventually moved over to PS. The grow / shrink mask tool in PP is easy to use but I cannot figure out how to do this in PS. Take the letter B in the upper left corner. I can use the mask tool on the B and shrink it, leaving me with the outline of the B. I can shrink or grow the mask by indicating how many pixols to shrink or grow. For the life of me I can't seem to do this in PS. Presently I do it in PP then open the graphic in PS wher I can then use it. Is there a way to accomplish this in PS?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having a few issues with my CS5 Photoshop - for some reason the other day, out of the blue, my Shift-F5 'Fill' shortcut started activating the 'Grow' command instead. I'd not altered any Photoshop settings recently (only loaded new actions a few days previously), so not sure why it happened.
I've tried resetting the shortcuts through Keyboard Shortcuts in the edit menu, but 'Fill' IS set to Shift-F5, with 'Grow' blank (no shortcut assisgned?).... and 'Fill' in the menu states Shift-F5 as the shortcut.

I've tried fixing Mac permissions, I've deleted the Ps 'Keyboard Shortcuts' file, I've deleted the Ps prefs file from Home > Library > Prefs. Weirdly, I expected a pref file to be in HD > Library > Prefs, but no Ps file there...? (but ID, AI etc all there?!). There is a "com.adobe.CSXS2Preferences" file - what does that relate to, as it doesn't look familiar?

When i crop part of an image (in this case my web site) photoshop automaticaly strokes the inside of the crop!! When i then put the images into a table in html all the separate images have a box around them!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an image open.
I choose the pen tool and then click a place on the image and then a second and a ‘line’ connects them. Two anchor points and a line between them.
I go to the Paths pallet and save this work so that the Paths layer says, “Path 1” and I've also tried doing it unsaved.
Then I try stroking it with the brush in any of the three ways you get to the stroke command i.e. right click, upper right arrow, etc.
The dialogue box comes up and I choose brush (having already chosen a 14 pix width and 100%) and it should stroke my line but all it strokes are the two (or more if I put them in) anchor points.
The funny thing is if I create my line with the pencil tool it will stroke it with no problem but not any line drawn with the pen tool.
I am simulating ropes so the pencil line is not smooth but all pixulated and I want to learn how to stroke with the pen tool.
I am using photoshop cs (really just learning), and when I try to stroke a path to make a border, all I get is my brushes stroke at the corners or sharper curves. Is this what is supposed to happen, am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to make a "border" around the entire path?

(Why does it need more than one?)
Eg - I've just made a curve with the pen tool, fine. I can select it, move it about, but I can't stroke it.
All the menu options are dimmed. By trying anything I might think is appropriate, I usually get there, but quite often either the whole layer boundary is stroked, or a V shaped path when stroked gives a triangle, or an S shaped curve has the ends connected as though by White, so there's a bit missing in the middle.
Often I retry something I believe ought to work, and hey presto it does - but it didn't the first time.
I've read and reread Classroom in a Box and the help files, but I'm missing something.

Any way to make a the wireframe of an object "grow" or build onto screen through animation?
Â
For example, I need to have the wireframe of a bridge look like it's drawing onto the screen as the bridge rotates.

I'm not a scripter. So I'm lacking the ability to create a script from scratch.
I would like to make the pipe of the picture to grow from bottom to top in an animation of softimage.
I have created the pipe extruding a circle along a curve. I would like to know if there is any possibility in softimage to make the effect of appearing gradually from bottom to top like it is growing up and controlling in the frames that I want on the animation.
I´ve been making pixel art for a while now and recently I upgraded to cs6. all was fine till I tried to stroke a circular path with the pencil tool. The Circles it makes are completely uneven.
Â
These are the paths i traced in different sizes

this is the stroked path with a 1 x 1 pixel pencilÂ
as you can see the the bottom and right part of the circles is different from the top left. it is more noticeable on smaller circles.it also happens with bigger stroke sizes.this diddn´t happen in cs5.
I made a vector shape of an arrow (see below) and then rasterized the layer.
Then I double-clicked the layer and gave the grey shape a 1px black stroke outline. Only after hitting OK, the 1px black stroke shows up as a thick, grey stroke.
I have a edu version of Adobe creative suite CS2. I tried to learn some text effects in online turtorial but I found that feather, modify, grow, similar, transform selection submenu are disabled in the select main menu. I would like to know why and how to make them enable.

Choose Brush and make sure there is a tick next to Simulate Pressure. This is important as it will give your curve tapered ends which will make it rock!

I'm selecting faces to be textured in the UV editor. The red faces in the pic. The more faces I select (ctrl + click) the more the yellow box grows. Is this normal? I don't recall seeing that behaviour before. I thought it was just supposed to select the extents of the faces..?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created a video consisting a many photos with some video. Some photos, e.g. a horizontal close striped golf shirt, gives a flickering effect in the output video file.
I do have the anti-flickering filter checked. Ran a test with filter off, but this did not correct it. Offending photos are approx. 2.5 meg JPEGs.
I have experienced the following behavior:
Â
1. Adding Effects to a path applies the effect but the effect is not visible in the Appearance panel.
2. In conjunction with this, it appears that internal stroking of the object creates a weird offset. The stroking is visually incorrect. The stroke generally offset by -1 on each axis. If the object has had a rounding effect applied to it, some of the corners become mangled.
I want to create a stroking light effect that reacts to the amplitude of a song... any easiest way to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have received details that have been blocked that I need to edit. When I expode or burst them, the dims text and arrows grow larger than is required for the block and I cannot find any adjustment in the properties to bring them back to the correct size for the detail. Also the leaders lose their point and association with their text and become just a line.
Is there a command that will allow me to edit the block without loosing the current sizing and associations?
I've just downloaded and installed GIMP so it really might be too early to ask this, but after searching I've not been able to find much of an answer. In Photoshop most of my work uses the fade command. I've discovered this in GIMP and it works with some tools but not others (it's grayed out).So for example, if I wanted to draw with the paintbrush and then fade it to 50%, how would I do so? I'm suspecting there's some way to do it that doesn't involve Edit > Fade.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used to use MediaStudio Pro to create picture in picture especially where the picture starts small and grows to cover the entire background video clip.
I looked for and found a video filter which I thought would allow me to do the same. However after viewing the 'help' for the filter and trying just about everything I could think of I cannot achieve what I want to do if start with a video clip and then have another video clip appear (very small) in one area of the background video and then slowly grow larger to eventually cover the background video clip.
I can make the picture in picture appear and grow larger but it covers the entire background video clip with black effectively covering it no matter what size my picture in picture is. I looked for a chroma key to cover the black out but could not find it.
