Probably a really simple fix to this, but I'm still new to Illustrator Â

This is the image that I need to be outlined, but only around the very outside border.
Applied a regular stroke:
Grouped it with another part that also needs outlining on just the outside edge, and tried using a method I saw on here: and the results:
I am working on a file where there are kangaroos that are compound paths. I need to stroke only parts of them. Is there a way to do that? Should I just manually be drawing paths that go right up to the edge of the compund path (drawing my own stroke)?

1. Adding Effects to a path applies the effect but the effect is not visible in the Appearance panel.
2. In conjunction with this, it appears that internal stroking of the object creates a weird offset. The stroking is visually incorrect. The stroke generally offset by -1 on each axis. If the object has had a rounding effect applied to it, some of the corners become mangled.

One of the objects in my scene is not rendering correctly. It is a side panel grating with holes in it. In the viewport it looks fine, but once I render it only some of the holes display. I created the front grating with the same method and it renders every hole just fine.
I want to put holes on 2 sides of helix shape object. The holes are about 0.125" deep and 0.80" wide and next to each other.Encluded the shape.

Â
And to be clear, I mean the clothing type of button, with holes for thread, as opposed to an interactive button pushed by a user on a web page.
I'd like to use boxes to punch holes into the layered artwork below them. I want the result to look exactly like this image, but with the white boxes being transparent holes.
This seems so simple, but I can't find any combination of layers/pathfinder tools/compound shapes/or clipping masks that will produce this result. No matter what, I end up losing part of the artwork (usually the topo lines and the black bar).
I have done a live trace of a somewhat complex GIF that I want to simplify into black silhouette. What I have is a black object filled with dozens of irregularly shaped closed paths within it. I want to get rid of these, and was thinking I could just choose "ungroup," then select all closed paths except the large one enveloping them and delete them. I'm obviously misunderstanding something, though, since Illustrator sees what I have as one object already. The only way I'm able to remove all those little white shapes is to delete their anchor points one by one. There has to be a better way . . .

I am trying to punch holes in a circle using compound paths, as you can see here :
The tadpole shape and the human shape are the holes I need created in the large circle behind them. Both the tadpole and the human are at the front and all objects are on the same layer. When I select everything and choose CRTL+8, only the tadpole gets cut into the circle. the other shape just stays white.
I have drawn my rectangle and clicked on something else, how do I click on the rectangle and change its properties ie: add an outline to its border

How do I get rid of the square edges?
It is possible extract foreground from image if I have: 1) exact image of foreground and 2) exact image - foreground + object on it ---> so that I can get object which has fine--aliased borders?
I want exact object - so I do not want use Background Eraser, it is possible somehow mathematically?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an image open.
I choose the pen tool and then click a place on the image and then a second and a ‘line’ connects them. Two anchor points and a line between them.
I go to the Paths pallet and save this work so that the Paths layer says, “Path 1” and I've also tried doing it unsaved.
Then I try stroking it with the brush in any of the three ways you get to the stroke command i.e. right click, upper right arrow, etc.
The dialogue box comes up and I choose brush (having already chosen a 14 pix width and 100%) and it should stroke my line but all it strokes are the two (or more if I put them in) anchor points.
The funny thing is if I create my line with the pencil tool it will stroke it with no problem but not any line drawn with the pen tool.
I am simulating ropes so the pencil line is not smooth but all pixulated and I want to learn how to stroke with the pen tool.
I am using photoshop cs (really just learning), and when I try to stroke a path to make a border, all I get is my brushes stroke at the corners or sharper curves. Is this what is supposed to happen, am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to make a "border" around the entire path?

(Why does it need more than one?)
Eg - I've just made a curve with the pen tool, fine. I can select it, move it about, but I can't stroke it.
All the menu options are dimmed. By trying anything I might think is appropriate, I usually get there, but quite often either the whole layer boundary is stroked, or a V shaped path when stroked gives a triangle, or an S shaped curve has the ends connected as though by White, so there's a bit missing in the middle.
Often I retry something I believe ought to work, and hey presto it does - but it didn't the first time.
I've read and reread Classroom in a Box and the help files, but I'm missing something.

I´ve been making pixel art for a while now and recently I upgraded to cs6. all was fine till I tried to stroke a circular path with the pencil tool. The Circles it makes are completely uneven.
Â
These are the paths i traced in different sizes

this is the stroked path with a 1 x 1 pixel pencilÂ
as you can see the the bottom and right part of the circles is different from the top left. it is more noticeable on smaller circles.it also happens with bigger stroke sizes.this diddn´t happen in cs5.
I made a vector shape of an arrow (see below) and then rasterized the layer.
Then I double-clicked the layer and gave the grey shape a 1px black stroke outline. Only after hitting OK, the 1px black stroke shows up as a thick, grey stroke.
After GROWing a letter in a word by one or more pixels, I tried to STROKE the action and it didn't seem to work properly. I would like the letter to be totally filled with its solid color... but instead, it just seemed to outline the letter, leaving white space between the new GROW line and the actual letter.
how to end up with a "fatter" letter that's completely filled?
I cant seem to get the tapered effect to occur when stroking a path. I strok the path after selecting the brush tool.
Choose Brush and make sure there is a tick next to Simulate Pressure. This is important as it will give your curve tapered ends which will make it rock!
I've created a curved path and am having probs creating an even line using the Stroke Path tool. For some reason, the line gest heavier in places and I just want an even smooth thin line. I've tried using the brush and the pencil tools... screengrabs below. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I've saved the GIF with the least amount of colors while maintaining the integrity of the image. I've saved the image with transparency and no matte, there is a thin border around my GIF. I've saved the image with no transparency and the matte matching the webpage background, there is a thin border around my GIF. I've saved my border with transparency unchecked and matching matte color with the background color of the webpage and there is still a thin border around my GIF. I don't know if it has anything with the artboard or what? I've even tried the above and saving it as a PNG and the same happens. I've attached a picture of what the image looks like once uploaded, as you can see it appears in just about anything I design with illustrator.
