Illustrator :: Using Pathfinder On Brush?
Apr 22, 2013I have created an arc using the Brush tool and now need to clip one end of it. If you refer to the attached image you will see that 1 is the arc created as a brush and 2 is what I wish to achieve by making the right hand end 'horizontal'. If I place a rectangle in front as shown in 3 and try to use a tool such as Pathfinder, I get a strange result as shown in 4. Because it is a brush there are no handles to allow me to reshape the end of the arc. Is there a way to achieve this. I need the final image to remain a vector as it will need to be resized. I am using Illustrator CS6.

Dec 29, 2013I drew a line using the line tool and then used the smooth zig zag to create a wave.The wave starts with the "low wave" and I want it to start with the "high Wave" so I tried the mirror option but that does not seem to make any difference.
Â
I then made my "wave" longer and treid to use the pathfinder tool to "cut" the part of the wave I wanted but that did not work either.Is the line tool and zig zag the wrong tool to use?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Impossible To Overlap Two Shapes After Pathfinder Operation
Mar 13, 2013I have been using Illustrator for a couple of years now and from time to time I encounter very strange behavior when manipulating a vector shape.I have a current example here where I simply want to create a combined shape using the pathfinder tool:
Â
As you can see, the generated shape (red) does not cover the original shape (green).When I use the path selection tool, I am able to reposition the first anchor but when I do the same for the lower anchor as well the entire shape is replaces a few pixel to the left. Even using the "align" tool afterwards is not useful. It seems impossible to make the red shape cover the green one.
Illustrator :: Pathfinder's Subtract Tool Distorting Graphics?
Jul 9, 2012I'm running illustrator CS5.5 on Windows 7.Â
Â
I'm making variations of a logo and one of them is a single color reverse. The logo is basically the letters 'MCS' written on a block of color. When I try to use the Pathfinder's subtract feature to knock out the letters from the block I get some slight distortion on the letters.
Â
I was running CS2 before and I did this many times but I never had any distortion.
Â
Is there a setting I can change?
Illustrator :: How To Make A Complex Path With Circles And Pathfinder
Feb 27, 2014So I keep seeing this method of design on sites like dribbble or behance but I don't know how to do it!
Â
Here's an example: Basically a bunch of circles are used to create this awesome shape and design. I have a general idea on how to use the pathfinder tool and I have used it a lot in the past, but how do you snap circles together with smart guides? It seems that the smart guides only snap based on 90 or 45 angles and don't snap edges of objects together unless there are two anchors.
Â
Here's an example: I want to use the curves from 2 circle shapes to make a complex path. But I can't get the two paths to snap together
Â
Ultimately to create something like the raindrop image above. I want to use the perfect curves on circles to create more complex shapes but since the paths do not snap together, I'm just eyeballing it to be close enough to do something with the pathfinder tool.
Illustrator :: Outlined Text Is Changing When Using Pathfinder Or Resizing
Sep 30, 2013So occasionally, when working on customers files, outlined text becomes warped when resizing or using Pathfinder. For instance, I have "III" written and outlined, but for some reason if I resize this, the middle line become thicker than the other lines. Other text changes as well making it very hard to make the necessary changes to my artwork without ruining the text.

Illustrator :: Grunge Texture Won't Subtract With Pathfinder Tool
Aug 5, 2013I made a design that consists of multiple shapes; the entire thing has been expanded and grouped. I image traced and expanded a grunge texture that I would like to "cut out" of my design. I placed the texture over the design, selected both Groups (texture and design), and tried Minus Front and Minus Back (among a few others just to test) and the two both leave nothing but a couple speckles from the texture.

Jan 29, 2014In illustrator, I have placed an image that I created in photoshop. Once I trace and expand it, with the option to ignore white selected, there are still transparent shapes that I have to manually delete. For what I am doing now, it is way too tedious to have to do that. Why, if I'm 'ignoring white' so that I simply get a black/transparent vector image, are these transparent shapes showing up?

Illustrator :: Delete Unnecessary Anchor Points ALL At ONCE (Pathfinder / Offset Path)
Jun 17, 2013I'm currently having troubles from having too many anchor points after "image trace" or "offset path tool".
Â
1. I would like to know if there's a way of deleting useless points AT ONCE. (ex. multiple anchor points on a stait line, or duplicated points at one anchor point)
   - I've tried "Simplify" but it changed the picture too much.
   - I've tried "Remove redundant points" when using "image trace" but it came out as below:
Â
2. Sometimes pathfinder seems to make duplicated paths. Is there any way of knowing that there are duplicated paths OR eraseing duplicated paths at ONCE?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Open Animation Window
Jul 28, 2012I am trying to colourise a video, so I open the animation window, open a colour layer, and colour the scene. When I drag the 'Current Time Indicator', the video moves, but the colour layer (naturally) doesn't. What I do is shorten the green line on the animation window for the colour layer, duplicate the layer, re-position it on the animation window, and so on for all the frames.
What I would like to know is, is there an easier way to do this? Is there anyway I can do this without using so many layers, or edit the one colour layer, and have changes on one frame, but not on the other, with the same layer being used?

Jun 23, 2011I have a document with three layers, nothing fancy. I want to make one of the layers bigger. The docs say use the selection tool (in my case the rectangle tool) to make a selection. They say if you want to resize the selection just grab on of the handles. This works as it should. However I want to resize my layer, which is essentially a square image. I can't see where to do this. The layer properties don't even show the size of my layer. Is there some way to open the layer in another window?

View 4 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: CS 5.1 - Window Does Not Open To Full Screen?
Apr 20, 2012I recently installed / upgraded to CS5.1, set up all my preferences, keyboard shortcuts, presets, plugins. All worked fine, day in - day out, for the last three weeks. About three days ago this anomaly appeared...
Â
When I zoom in (cmd +/), the window will resize, but only part way. The window will move over flush right on the monitor, but leave about one inch of space between the window and the left side of the monitor, and increase in size until it fits aprox 2/3rds of the monitor / screen. It stops enlarging and leaves about 3 inches of space between the window and the bottom of the screen. At that point I get scroll bars. So I end up with a much smaller window to work in.
I can grab the bottom right corner of the window, pull it open to fill the screen, but as soon as I go to zoom in or out, the window jumps back to the smaller size with the gap on the left side and bottom.
Option bar is "Standard Screen Mode"
All my pallets are on a separate monitor, so nothing else is on my main monitor that would limit the size of my window as I zoom in.
My preferences are set to:
• Zoom Resizes Windows
• Enable Flick Panning (works fine)
• Animated Zoom
OS 10.5x
10GB ram
Â
I don't know if I inadvertently changed something to cause this.
