Illustrator :: Smooth Transition Of Stroke Width Along Line Segment While Preserving Original Width Outside

Mar 5, 2014

Trying to use the width tool, I ran into the following problem. I would like to have a smooth transition of the stroke width between two width points while keeping the original stroke width unchanged outside of that line segment.
 
There are four width points here: two end points and two in between. The original stroke width is 200. The two on the left have one side set to 100 while the two on the right have one side set to 50. I would like to eliminate the distortion of the line width occuring in the first and third line segments. The only solution that I have come up with so far is to place two additional width points very close to the two middle width points: one with a 100-unit side to the left of the second point in the picture and one with a 50-unit side to the right of the third point in the picture. Yet there will be a small distirtion in between.

Illustrator :: Small To Large DPI Possible?

May 24, 2013

I'm relatively new to using illustrator and im trying to change the dpi of a drawing. One of my frinds made a T-shirt design in a non adobe software program, forget it know, and accidentally draw it at a 100 dpi file and looks blured when changed to a 185x185 pixel size.  Can I take that file and change it to 300 dpi?
 
Go to effects>
Document Raster Effects>
and select dpi quality
 
I've already done that and it doesn't look like it did anything. Does it need to be redrawn?
 
I'm running cs6

Illustrator :: CS5 - How To Save Large JPG From Small EPS

Oct 23, 2012

I created a logo in ai cs5 that is the size of 7w x 4h. But I wanted to be able to create a larger jpg. Since the vector format allows for the image to be scaled, is there a way to scale it larger, then create a jpg at this larger size? Or, is there a way to scale it to 500% and then save it as a new file with this enlarged size being 100%? I'm fairly new to AI, but have used PS for quite some time.

Illustrator :: Putting Small Stroke That Goes Around Outside Of Drawing?

Jun 14, 2013

I have the following illustration:
 
I want to try just putting a small stroke that goes around the outside of the drawing, however when I do select all and apply the stroke, it obviously strokes the inner parts of the drawing (for instance the mouth, eyes, dimples, etc). I've tried merging all of the layers, but it doesn't work.

Illustrator :: How To Create Natural Random Stroke Width

Feb 27, 2014

I do cartoons and I want to be able to use the pen tool, brush tool and/or even blob brush tool to draw.  I'm trying to draw a straight line that has a varied stroke width, so it looks like it's drawn with a felt tip marker or maybe a pencil.  The natural random/varied stroke width is what I'm looking for.
 
I see the "vaiable width profile" drop down box in the tool bar but I only see one option that looks like this (it says "width profile 2" when I mouse over it).  Although this varies in width, it's too consistent and doesn't look natural at all.  Is there a way to get a varied stroke width for straight lines?  I have a pen talet and have tried pen pressure as well but I've not found an easy way to do this.

Illustrator :: How To Use Width Tool On Calligraphy Brush Stroke CS6

Mar 21, 2013

i have created a stroke with a calligraphy brush. Now i want to make the stroke a bit thinner at some points of the path.
 
It could be easily done with the width tool but it doesn't work directly on the stroke.
 
Is there a way to convert the stroke so the thickness of the stroke will be kept at the other points?

Illustrator :: Stroke Width Profile Doesn't Mirror Automatically

Oct 3, 2012

I can't believe Illustrator doesn't do this automatically. If you create a stroke profile on one side of the stroke by holding Alt/ Option while dragging with the Width Tool and then mirror the object, the stroke profile doesn't mirror accordingly. You have to go to the Stroke panel and click one of the flipping buttons for each stroke of the mirrored artwork. This makes mirroring complex artwork very time consuming. Mirroring with transform effect doesn't have this problem but this makes the usage and editing of the mirrored object difficult.

I'm just posting this before making a feature request in case I'm missing something. And to check if this problem has been already raised and the feature request made.

Illustrator :: Seamless Repeat / Clipping Mask - No Stroke Width

Sep 5, 2012

I am trying to create seamless pattern repeats. Most of the time when I do this I get thin lines between the tiles (I place the original pattern and move>copy it to exact measurements). I have read in other forums that these are 'ghost' lines which don't appear when the design is printed out, but I've had fabric samples printed that do contain a line. Also sometimes the motifs on the edge of each tile don't match up - see the slight line down the orange / white cups here:
 
I move>copy the motifs using the exact measurements of the artboard, I line up my clipping mask with the artboard and they are exactly the same size, and they have no stroke width. I can't work out why it still does not work.
 
Even before I copy and tile the design I sometimes have a thin white line down one side - see below.

Illustrator :: Colour Sections Of 1 Stroke Differently And Also Change Width

Sep 13, 2013

So i have this piece and i need to be able to colour different sections of the stroke around the whole piece with different colours.  Also, i need to be able to change the width uniformly on sections between anchor points.  I DO NOT want to use live paint as it takes away the sections of stroke i have tapered off already, however, the effect you get when using the live paint selection tool is exactly what i need
 
Is there a way of doing this at all??  It seems that i should be able to do it but i'm not able to find the right button, option or combination of both.......

Illustrator :: Why Doesn't Stroke Width Tool Create Smooth Curves

Sep 30, 2013

Am I the only one who has edited a stroke with the stroke width tool, then outlined the stroke only to find a countless number of points and noticeably unsmooth edges? Is there a setting or certain way to ensure that the stroke width tool won't corrupt the smoothness of my shapes? The stroke width tool is the most handy new feature I can imagine, but this problem makes it almost entirely useless, unless designing something where precision and smoothness are not important.

Illustrator :: Jagged Curves Created With Variable Stroke Width Tool?

Jul 24, 2013

In Illustrator CS6 and CC, when the stroke width tool is used on a curve, the curve is actually made up of a series of straight lines instead of smooth vector curves:

whereas in CS5 it looks perfect.These images may be too small to see the details, but the difference is there. Is there a workaround for this? Or is it recognized as a bug?

Photoshop :: Stroke Width Vs. Transparency?

Jul 19, 2007

when I used to paint with Photoshop 7 and a mouse, I had it set up so that my brush strokes would fade gradually as I dragged the brush across the piece, like a real paintbrush running dry with each stroke.

Ever since I upgraded to Photoshop CS and a Wacom Graphire tablet, I can't figure out how to set my brush tool up like I used to have it (I prefer it for speed painting). Currently, my brush strokes vary in width based on the amount of pressure I apply. :B

how to adjust my settings so that the level of pressure on the tablet determines the stroke's transparency as well? Or at least point me to the right thread?

VideoStudio :: How To Resize Clips That Are Too Small / Large

Mar 16, 2013

Just downloaded the trial of Video Studio Pro X6 and am trying it out. I have a past background with Adobe Premiere and even VideoPad, so while I'm not new to video editing, X6 is a little different to me. My two main problems at present are sizing and capture.

I'm trying to figure out how to resize clips that are too small, or too large for that matter, to the mpeg2 standard of 720P (16:9) I usually use. When I put...say...a 640 x 480 clip or still on the timeline there seems to be no tool to change their sizes with (that I have found so far). There are 8 squares that sometimes show up on the image, which allow me to resize, but when finished and I go to do something else, the image just pops back to it's original size. So I must be missing something here.

The second main problem I'm presently having is capturing video...which the program won't do. At present, I am capturing analog video through a USB device. When I try to capture, I get an error message telling me that the capture plug-in is already in use, or is missing, or so on. I have discovered on the web that this problem is very common! Why? I have never had a video capture setup on this particular computer before, so there's nothing on it to interfere with X6. So should I assume that the capture plug-in is not included with the trial? Can this plug-in be downloaded by itself?

Photoshop :: Large Prints On A Small Printer

Sep 12, 2004

I need to print large photos on a small printer and then mount them together on a large board, but no matter how I do it I seem to get either overlap of gaps between the printed photos. I found a good way to mount the photos so the edges of the paper are not too visible (from a distance), but I can still see gaps and overlays. The Photo image has a width of 24 in by 33 in. I'm trying to print it on nine (9) 8X11 papers.

Photoshop :: Small Photo, Large Resolution?

Nov 12, 2005

I have a photo that I copied from an Power Point Presentation which looked great on Power Point but when I have it in PS I noticed that the image size is just 2.507x1.028 with a res. of 576. Pixel Dimensions are 2.45M

I would like to print out a larger version of this photo but I'm not having much luck with it. It gets blurry when I try to enlarge it.

It was on Power Point as PNG graphic and I saved it to the desktop as a Gif andthen dragged it into PS.

Don't know much about Power Point maybe there is a better way to transfer pics from it.
