Illustrator :: Scale Border Or Frame Without Scaling Frame Width?
Aug 23, 2012
I'm designing some photo frames and as they come in loads of different sizes, I'd like to be able to make the frame design bigger, in illustrator, but keep the width of the actual border. i.e. at the moment it's for a 10cm x 15cm photo with a 3cm wide border going all the way round - I want to keep it 3cm for larger photos.
and here's a link to the .ai file: [URL] I have loads of other frame designs which will need similar treatment so I'm looking for a general solution rather than something that is totally specific for this design.
I've been trying to make a custom border for my images in PS. I already have an action that does this for me:
Back when I printed images myself in the darkroom, I loved FF images and the black edge they have. Here's an example of one of my old prints (scanned):
how to get a somewhat soft black edge like that that isn't perfectly straight? I've found a special brush in PS:CS3 that gives me this:
Now my issue is I need this to be done in an action. That was done "free hand" by drawing a straight line across each edge, then adding the white after with the canvas size tool... Also that brush isn't perfect. I'm looking for something that has that perfect looking blend/rollover as it transitions into the image.
I tried every single way to try to extend the with of the hole body but it's not working in any way The problem is its a solid body which looks like a rectangle shape frame,and i made it as a hole union which i cant simply extend the top and the bottom widths.
I created an extruded aluminium profile (attached file: Item Profile 8 80x80) which I published into the Content Center. When using this profile in a frame design, and using the Trim To Frame command, the profiles are trimmed at a weird angle (attached pdf file).
I create animated gifs frequently using the Frame Animation pallet. The default frame rate starts out as 10 seconds, so I always have to change it to 4 seconds. Is there anyway to reset the default frame rate that I start out with to 4 seconds, so that I don't have to change it every time?
Preferences did not yield any promising menus
I know the standard default reset with many Adobe products is to change it without a document open, but in PS CS5.5 if you do not have a document open the frame rate option is greyed out ______________ CS5.5 MacPro Tower Mac OS 10.8.2
I am trying to add a frame to some pictures, but when trying to apply a frame from the content section, the frame goes on top of any picture...and not directly on to the picture.
I come across this problem from time to time and generally either just ignore it, if the detail is destined for in house manufacture, or alter it in autocad if it's destined for exterior suppliers.
Our guard frames are manufactured from extruded aluminum section (made by a company called palletti) I have when needed created a new frame generator frame member for each new x-section that we wish to use. I then draw a 2d sketch for the base frame skeleton and then a 3d sketch for all the frame work above. This I then use in an assembly to create the framework. This framework assembly then goes into a second assembly where the framework is then adorned with all the accoutrements that make up a guard frame that we can then order as an assembled frame, panels feet, hinges et al.
When placing the views for the detailing of the second assembly sometimes the view will show the wrong length for one or some of the frame members.
;note how the left and right views are different and how some of the frame members are elongated on the lh view.
I'm guessing its because of the home grown frame members but all seems to work well other wise and this only happens infrequently.

It used to be that whenever i would move the cursor in adobe premier with either the left or right arrows or by simply clicking and dragging it, it would play the audio from that frame. But it is not doing it anymore, I think i must have accidently hit a shortcut key or something to change it in settings i dont know. But it would be good if I could get the setting to change it back. I know for a fact that my laptops speakers do work, so its not that.
I am editing a short avi clip converted from a 1959 8mm film in the timeline. The telecine conversion results in as sharp an image as I have manged to get using PPro 5.5 unsharp mask. I tried mocha planar tracking to automatically remove a fixed spider web on the top edge of each frame in the clip.
Because the web is not distinct and the background does not progress at a steady fixed pace, the mocha procedure was not successful. Previous feedback recommended methods to mask the edge. Using various masking attempts to automate the procedure was also unsuccessful for the same reasons as mocha.
I have the time and decided to replace the spider web on each frame edge using photoshop tools e.g. clone stamp etc. - although other tools such as healing brush do not appear to work in the timeline as I expect.
My saves so far have resulted in a whole clip being saved with all following frames being modified similar to the first edited frame. Perhaps I am not using the editing procedures in photoshop from the timeline correctly.
My band has just recorded our first music video. We are very happy with the result except that the glasses on me (the lead singer) during the close-ups look very funny, they are very skew, and the "frame" does not go behind the ear.
What I would like to do is to import the video and edit these clips frame by frame, where this is showing. There is about 15 seconds totally of me in close-up - 15 x 24= 360 images. The clips are about 1-3 seconds long. And I want to edit all of these short clips of me and then make it a full-length video again.
I made a quick edit on one of the images from the video. The shades still look a little funny but it gets better when the frame goes behind the ear. If it's possible to correct the "glass" part of the shades as well.
I'd like to do some animation in photoshop, especially frame to frame animation. (such as editing images from stop motion)
But I'd like to import big quantities of images to a psd file, and which each image would automatically be imported to 1 different layer. Is it possible to do that?
The photos are fairly too high resolution to export as video (3456x 2034) so i don't want to make a video out of them and import the video sequence...
Im working for a geological firm that use timescales to describe their work (depths at times etc). I need to compress the time bar but not alter the text but cant find way to do it. Im only scaling in 1 direction.
I've been hearing very much about this frame by frame thingy but i just dont know what it is or where to find it.i think it is a tool or button to edit a frame without getting the other frames modified or i just dont know. i simply want to know how to edit a frame without getting the other frames modified or a good tutorial because i dont understand the adobe help.
Running Illustrator CC on a Mac. I'm missing the maximize, minimize, and close buttons in the top left corner. I have an "Ai" symbol in the top left, which I thought was only on the PC version? All my tools disappear when I turn on application frame. I deleted the preferences file, no luck. When I hold down command shift option during startup of Illustrator it says "error loading plugins"..
I'm just learning CS6 and folllowing the TV tutorial and it shows the desktop showing through the screen of Illustrator and checking a button called application frame under the windows tab. This button is not in my drop down list. I should be able to see the desktop behind or in the frame shouldn't I?
I'm updating my companies business cards which have a white background. Is there a way to get a thin black line at the artboards edges that I could use when the design is put on a word document for presentation?
It's just to see the outer edge in presentation, not in printed version.I guess i could draw a rectangle and have a black border, but is there another way to get the exact edges?
Is there a way, when using dual monitors, to move the whole CS6 frame to either monitor? Right now it's just cemented to my left monitor, and I want it on the right.
I'm sending this message regarding this link : URL....Just need a favor with all my respect to you and i think you will not let me down asking u for 2 script to divide characters in the textbox like the following:
1st : (TEXT FRAME) : Each letter alone and delete the space character .. with out moving any character from it's position 2nd : (TEXT FRAME) : Each word alone and keep the space character
How can I convert the shape of textbox to rectanglebox and fill any desired color into it? Can any API do so?
Here are steps that I follow in illustrator to convert the shape.
1. Create a textframe. 2. Select, choose "effect->convert to shape" menu-item. 3. Create a new fill from Appearence palette(Window->Appearance). 4. Fill the desired color from color palette(Window->Color).
