Can parts of an Illustrator brush be removed or erased where they overlap on an angle. Obviously straight portions are not a problem and can be handled by moving the anchor point of the path. However, I have created a pattern brush with 6 parallel lines and I am designing a typeface for a Typography class. There are areas where the brush lines overlap.
View 7 Replies I used to use freehand as my defacto drawing tool until I switched to AI. Back in those days, I also used "Streamline" (URL...) to perform the functions image trace does today. While it's results were somewhat crude, the software provided me the vector points, paths and acnhors i needed. After every trace, I could manually edit the resulting vector traces.
I have been using CS6's tracing feature, but the one thing I cannot figure out for the life of me is the "Bounding box" issue for an imported image. Everytime I trace a drawing, AI's tracing results always place a bounding box around the traced image area. My goal: To trace an item, get rid of the bounding box and extract the outlines and paths so that I can then modify these to my linking.
Can this be done? Im sure it can,... I just cannot find out how. (Or am I making crack wishes?) All I'm saying, if Streamline allowed me to edit paths from a trace, then it'd be a shame if AI CS6 does not.
I realize this is probably simple, but I have taken a simple graphic pattern jpeg and I've used image trace to trace it in Illustrator CS6.
But when I try and select parts of the vector is just selects the entire image in a single big box.
How can I break it apart so that the individual vector parts and be copied, pasted, edited and so on?
I've created an image file in Illustrator and exported it as a .png file. The dimensions are 1000x200 but when I export it the file size changes and becomes bigger. I therefore have to change the file size in Fireworks making sure that the quality is kept as Photoshop does not do it for me. Previously when I exported the files the backgrounds appeared transparent after saving but maybe I've changed a setting by accident that has changed this. I'm selecting the 'Save as' and Flattened png option at 32bit in FW.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently scanned several old slides and saved them as dng files. But some of the editing functions don't work on these files - specifically gradient filter, adjustment brush and HSL adjustments. I don't really want to have to save them as jpgs before editing them - that defeats the purpose of having saved them as dngs.

Suddenly yesterday it stopped editing and I have to click a few more times to type the number in. It's totally messing up my work flow and whatnot. The option in application options is checked as well.

I was just wondering as to whether its possible to keep the checkered base which you get when you remove part of an image or have it transparent to stay in the created image.
I am sure you all know this.
Here is the YouTube background which I have created and wondering if I am able to keep the checkered base or whatever in the image after I have saved it rather than print screening and pasting it back like a jigsaw puzzle.

The brushes I downloaded are not compatiable to my current photoshop version so I'm trying install image brushes instead.
Below is the tutorial I've tried and it worked. But somehow the brushes turned out to be fuzzy and unclear. Is there any other methods?
When I use a brush (like the airbrush, the clone, the eraser) I cant see the brush when I go to use it on the image (the edges of what will be be painted, cloned, etc), so im having to do blind guess-work---basically i just click and then I can see how big the brush was. In prior versions of GIMP there was a semi-transparent line indicating the brush shape and size.

how to do it right.
1.) At 1:40 into the tutorial, he selects a diamond pattern as a Pattern Overlay effect. However, it's a pattern he created himself. How do I create a pattern like that?
2.) At 4:35, he draws a line with the pen tool having first selected a brush and then strokes the path. However, my path doesn't look like his. It's just a straight line, while his splays out a bit so he's able to create that shining star effect when he rotates a copy. I've attached a jpeg of mine.
What am I doing wrong to not get a line like his? Am I not choosing the right brush. I chose a brush with the diameter of 17 like he does in the tutorial. Does it look like I selected it from a different place?
I've a pdf created with auto cad 2013 printed with adobe pdf. I put it into the Photoshop cs6, but it always make my image lighter, and i have to adjust exposure, levels or brightness to see the image fine. And i don't like doing this because the image is not exactly the same...
I have this friend who work with the same tools and his pdf is perfect in his Photoshop. I think is a rastering issue because the pdfs looks great until the Photoshop interpret the image.
Can Gimp create a highlight on mouse-over when an image map is created and put on a web page?

I have Illustrator CC (at the moment I am using the trial version), and I have used it a few times. The only problem is that every time I have made some changes to the hotkeys/keyboard shortcuts, and added a few brushes, this disappears (like it resets back to factory settings by itself) when I re-open Illustrator.

View 7 Replies View Relatedusing brushes in Illustrator 5.5, I cannot find a way to change the "tint" of an art brush to a solid color. I have dragged the brush from the brush library to an ai document to try to modify it ...no luck. I have expanded the brush to art outlines ...no luck. I have expanded the transparency. All color and transparency panels indicate 100%, however the object is still a transparent tint. I have tried cutting and pasting the expanded object without luck.
I have read the reference manual on this subject, but nowhere does it tell how to remove the tint and make the newly created object a solid color.
How can I tell which version of Illustrator my .ai file was created in? If I try to open it in a new version of Illustrator it just tells me it was created with an "older version".

I'm woring on a custom textile design that needs to be printed on fabric within the CAD-generated garmet production pattern.
The garmet pattern was created in the CAD progrom PAD.
PAD exports .dxf and .txt files. The dxf file imports into AI as text and code. The .txt file is unusable. It's scale is skewed and important information is missing from the file.
I'm working in AI 5.5 on a Mac. I've imported .dxf files from other cad progrms like Optitex no problem.
PAD exports .dxf AAMA. I need to import this into AI, and the AI forums say Illustrator can read .dxf files.
