Illustrator :: Effect - > Stylize Only Contains Glowing Edges In CC
Feb 4, 2014
I was using Illustrator CC today and had the Drop Shadow show up in the menu of Effect > Stylize. Now all I see in this menu is Glowing Edges. How did this happen and how do I get all the effects to show up again?
Edit: Never mind. I was looking under the Photoshop Effects section instead of the Illustrator Effects section.
I was messing around the other day and I came up with this effect. In my haste to get something done I just saved the picture and moved on. Unfortunately now I am unable to remember the name or location of the effect I used. I am not sure if it is a filter or not. I am sure this is just a silly little thing and I am being dumb, however I have gone through every menu and every filter and I can't seem to figure it out. This image I believe I had inverted and maybe changed the color layout a little bit, but the effect changed both color and style.
I'm going through this tutorial: URL....On step 10 it says to go to Filter>Stylize>Glowing Edges......I can't find it there! Is it not in photoshop CS6? This is especially frustrating because this is one of the most important parts of the tutorial and I've been working on this for hours only to find that Glowing Edges is missing.I'm using the free 30-day trial.
Is there anyway to make a graphic sort of 'glow' using Photoshop? I know I have seen banners that look like they do, but I'm not sure if they were made with Photoshop.
how to make a glowing effect with satin layers.... I want the stars in this picture to twinkle. I am very familiar with gregs plasma tutorial its just that for some reason since the stars are white its difficult.
I have looked everywhere at all sorts of photoshop and illustrator tutorials (because I couldn't find a Xara one) to accomplish this effect. I am creating a website for my client Jim and would like to incorporate a similar image to what he's using on his book cover, but with some different colors as the background to his site.
You can see what I'm trying to do in his blog header background here: [URL]......
I've found that this is a stock photo used in a lot of places, but I'm not really interested in getting the original image - I have that, but as a Jpeg on a black background. I'd prefer to learn how to create a similar effect in Xara.
I have tried all sorts of things that are kind of close, but just not there yet. I've tried using a line with pen pressure with a glow shadow. I've tried lines with a stained glass color overlay. I've tried creating a number of different brushes with a few levels of color, some with Gaussian blur applied, etc. but I just can't get this effect down. It always looks pretty good when I'm done, but then I look at the inspirational original and I'm not even in the ballpark for the amount of shine, glow, impact, etc.
In the end, this may not even work for the site since will be putting it on a light colored background, but I still want to know how to create this, as I'm sure I'll be able to use the technique elsewhere.
This is the second time I have reinstalled AI CS6 as last resort. It will freeze up Illustrator every time that I apply an effect like a drop-shadow, etc. 2011 MacBook Pro i7 on OS X Mountain LionCreative Cloud CS6Other tools work fineI have a couple plug-ins from Astute Graphics - however, I had the problems occur previous to the plug-ins.. I have tried restarting, using only AI and no other programs, etc.. When I reinstalled last time the probelm went away for about 4 weeks.
making a "glowing" effect for a project of mine. I made a roman numeral three, and I have a grid that I'll be using as the background. I want to make it so that just the outline of the Roman numeral is showing, and you can see the grid through it, but I want the outline to look like its glowing. Someone suggested to me that I just lower the fill opacity to Zero in the blending options, and apply the "outer glow" to it. which looks cool, but I want the glow to be bright white at the top, and gradually fade to a blue glow towards the bottom, and I can't accomplish this because it wont let me paint over the "outer glow " effect. someone else suggested that I paint the outline how I want, (blue on top, white on bottom) and then feather it to give it a glow look, but it wont let me feather for some reason, (maybe i'm not doing it right?)
Here's the effect I'm going for, maybe a bit more glow and lines do not need to arc like that: [URL]
And like this: [URL]
I'm having a couple of problems: 1) if I put the network lines on the map it looks too flat so I think I need to apply them to a slightly larger invisible sphere; 2) when I add a blur/outer glow to the lines they do not wrap cleanly on the sphere, they kind of break up and distort. Plain lines do not seem to have this problem but objects with effects do.
I thought this was going to be a piece of cake in the new Illustrator CC but I am having a few unanticipated issues:)I need to create some vector tire images with different edges, such as the top one in the image below.So I thought this would be SO easy by simply creating a pattern brush in Illustrator and then using that for the outside. So I created the shape you see in the middle image below and created a pattern brush with this shape.I then created an ellipse and used the new brush for the outline.
All of those are open paths...it has taken the shape and applied it to the outline but has kept each shape separate, so I am not able to fill the circle in black. I could of course go in and manually join each little corner separately where the little shapes meet but this will take FOREVER with all the images I have to do.
i have just got into image editing (got photoshop 8 cs last week) and i have been learning from tutorials. the first image i did used the wind effect to make the text look like ice. and i want to use it again. the first time i made the ice text it all went fine, but when i want to use it again it wont work. when i click wind, instead ofthe wind effect coming OUT FROM the text, It goes INTO the text, like its inverted or something.
one other thing, i saw in the flash movie of photoshop that you can change colours of different things, eg, cpply the texture of a chicken onto a fox, or turn a black woman into a white woman.
When i make a new rgb document and draw in it with the brush i go to filter then stylize i cannot use the wind filter?? It is there but i cant select it?
When I go under the Filter menu, I can only do a few of the options. Blur, Noise, Sharpen, Stylize, and other. I can't do Distort, Texture, or any other ones for some reason. I have tried closing it completely and opening up random projects where I know I've used the filter, and still nothing. I've tried everything outside of uninstalling it then re-installing it, and I really don't want to do that.
way to restore the factory defaults or...something?
I'm making some graphics to be printed on a car. I have some lines with outer glow on them, but Illustrator won't render these unless I use 72DPI in raster effects reslution. I would like to go higher, but it won't give me anything. Guessing it's to heavy for Illustrator maybe? Is there anything I can do about this? I'm making my graphics in 1:1 scale, but I do it in a lower scale since it's just vector art anyway, however how would that effect my glow? Since it's a raster effect.
In analog photography, various soft focus filters will create a glow in the highlights, without blurring them (a slight loss of contrast, but no loss of resolution). I've tried a duplicate layer, Gauss blur, lighten blend mode.... just got a glowing blur....
It has been quite a while since I have posted. And in that period, my Photoshop skills have improved greatly. I am still learning a few new techniques and I just started working on brushing. There is a certain technique that I see quite often and would love to learn how to do. I'll post a few examples so you guys can see the effect that I am leaning towards.
