I'm trying to create a new brush that would create a "square wave" (like this, but only the blue part: [URL] of uniform height. However, the "frequency" of the ridges would increase with increased pen pressure from a Wacom tablet. What would the original vector from which I'm creating the brush look like?
View 1 RepliesI am using illustrator for doing some calligraphy and I am not really experienced with this program. I am using a mouse pen with pressure to draw/write calligraphies. My question is, can I change the pressure amount after I drew lines using brush tool. Let’s say I drew a line, it is good but still not satisfactory. I just want to do a little change in pressure amount in some segments –not all the line- on line. Does illustrator give me this option?

Recently noticed that I cannot Contrain, Distort, Turn an Item using the Shift button and my Selection Tool (V). Did I turn something off in Preferences?
In CS6, whenever I add a stroke to a compound path it causes the shape to distort. Found this video of someone suffering from the same error in CS5 [URL]
View 2 Replies View Relatedstill getting used to manipulating (esp distorting) objects. I haven't been able to figure out how to distort just a portion of an obect.
I have an object (a compound shape) with many anchor points, an object made from a scanned ink drawing. It's a helmet with two intricate pieces that come down on either side. I need to make these hanging parts shorter while the rest of the object remains unchanged, so I want to basically select these parts of the object via the direct selection tool and resize them vertically, but all of the distortion tools I can find effect the entire object.
I tried to separate these parts of the object, distort, then re-attach them to the main object, but then I loose the compound shape and all the "holes" on the inside of the object become filled and don't come back even when I re-compond the shape. Also, this seems like an impractical work around to a simple problem.
I can't get certain graphics to scale down correctly correctly.
Take a look at the 2 jpegs enclosed - one solid, the other with 1px outline. The graphic men were originally 40mm tall.
In each case the one on the left is the original. The one on the right is the same graphic reduced to 25% then enlarged to 400%. Both should look the same.
How to stop these distortions from happening? I've tried adding and releasing Compound Path, Grouping and Ungrouping, Selecting and deselecting 'Scale Stroke and Effects'. No combination works!
I'm especially confused about 'Scale Stroke and Effects'. Surely when it's selected, the outline should reduce to 0.25 px. It doesn't - it stays at 1px.
Envelope distort to center of the object only possible?
How to achieve the effect shown in the image? If not with Illustrator what software can do this effect?
It's like an envelope distort but like the object (small circles) is not entirely wrapped into the envelope.
I tried moving the corners of the applied envelope towards the center of the object but it resizes the entire shape along with it...

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to distort a picture to make it fit a cover of a magazine. I read a few tutorials on Envelope Distort and followed directions. It seemed pretty straightforward.
I created a single, closed path that I placed it on a top layer. I placed the picture I want to distort and embedded iton a second layer behind the shape. Selected them together, continued with Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Top Object. But, the picture gets twisted and messed up.
This is what it looks like and I can't think of anything that is interfering with the process. This image will be part of a collage of images that will go on the front cover of my Google+ and Facebook profile.
When I use envelope distort on a a chevron shape, the text warps beyond the shape and new anchor points and curves are automatically added. Here are images of [URL]

I got a new laptop and downloaded Corel again, but it doesn't work now. I've downloaded the driver from the internet, but again, no luck.? Pictured are the different attempts of pressure, each the exact same.
My pressure tablet doesn't apply pressure using the pencil tool -- or any other tool-- It's a CTH470 Bamboo.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and try bristle brushes. The first thing I notice, is the lack of pressure control. This baffles me. Is this just a programming limitation? As a painter, I depend on pressure to create nuanced effects.
I'd be interested in seeing how people are using this feature. The demos on Youtube are not impressive, but I'm sure someone is using them to their potential.
In Illustrator CS6 demo, is the blob brush's pressure sensitivity disabled? Pressure isn't selectable and I don't know why.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using live paint to paint cartoon character illustrations. The artwork is brought into Illustrator CS3 and live traced. Then I convert it to a live paint group and use the paint bucket to fill. Everything looks fine no matter how much I zoom in. If I bring the AI file into Photoshop CS6 I can see a thin white line between the black line art and the fill. This is most noticeable where black meets black. I can also see this sometimes in file previews while browsing through files. If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok? I did just upgrade to CS6 if that would make a difference.

I use CS5 and have now a small arrow on my line segment tool (as shown in the picutres):
Ever since that when i click shift, it just allows me to draw vertical lines, rather than vertical or horizontal.
when I (try to ) use Pencil and Brush tools, (cross-hatching), some lines get erased/replaced by the lines drawn close to them. It must have something to do with the preferences, but I am not sure what to change/adjust.

Im using a Genius G-Pen M712X and mac osx 10.6.8..
I am using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 on a Windows XP. I've been using tutorials to create things. Many of them call for the option filter -> distort.
But my problem is that I do not have that distort button.
The options I have in filter are Blure, Noise, Pixelate, Sharpen, Stylize, and Other.
I've been trying to use either displacement or the 3D function to create a realistic looking tattoo on a photo, but even the simplest line image won't bring up the "distort" or "render" option under "filter." I'm using CS,
