Paint.NET :: How To Switch Ruler To Measure Tenths Of Inch
Oct 4, 2013
I'm new, but like this program more than the windows 7 version of paint.
Â
How to switch my ruler to measure tenths of an inch, I need to build something off of graph paper, and it is tedious so I was hoping to do it digitally... How to do that, or am I blind and completely missed something?
I have created a pressure network using 8-inch diameter pipes. How would I change the 8-inch pipes to 6-inch pipes without having to recreate the network.
Someone would like a small 1 inch by 1 inch logo for invoices at 600 DPI. However I understand that illustrator doesnt work in DPI or PPI since it's vector. Would I have to transfer the small image over to photoshop. I did try and save a 1 inch by 1 inch logo at 600 PPI, however when I saved the image it was no longer 1 inch by 1 inch. It had increased significantly in size regardless of what file format I saved the image as.
If I try to draw a square box in any size, illustator does not make it square. Â For example, if I select the Rectangle Tool, click in the art space and set the rectangle to one inch by one inch, I get a box that is 1.0003 by 1.0003 Â Here is a screen shot of what I am getting. Â This is also happening to any rectangle and circle. Â Even if I hold down shift to keep the preportions lock, it still happens. Â I have check and nothing is snapping or set to snap. Â This is a major issue for me as I use illustator for creating dielines and those dielines need to be very accurate.
When I run the Map Check report in C3D 2010, the Delta angle on curves displays to a tenth of a second, no matter what I do with settings. It should display to the whole second.
I'm trying to measure length using the grid and viewing the image in its "actual size", but 'm getting a wrong value (e.g. 3cm instead of 1cm). Â Is there a correct way to measure length in paint.net?
PSP X4 wants to be more intelligent then the users and changes the content of my text automatically. I want to enter a text which contains a text like "(R)" and this is changed automatically to a circle with an 'R' inside. I do not want this but cannot find any option to switch that off. Is there a way to switch off automatic text changing?
Is there a way to switch between items without closing out an item while in edit? ie: You have two (or more) items open in edit, and you want to cut from one item and paste on another but you don't want to close out the one you just cut on. I tried using the little arrows on top of the edit workspace, thinking these would be the way to switch items, but they don't do anything, at least for me anyway. I tried looking in the user guide but no luck.
I want to work with more then one picture at the same time and I want to be able to open more pictures during my work. With version X3 I could switch between Manager and Edit to open more pictures. Now the program closes all opened pictures if I switch from "Edit" to "Manage". Is that as it should work now?
How can I open the browser inside the Edit area? I could not find a function or Icon to do that. I just found the possibility to use the function 'Dual Monitor'.
If I select the function 'Dual-Monitor' the program changes my selected setting (Thumbnail Mode) to Preview Mode and I cannot change it anymore. Is that as it should be or is it a bug? I want to work with Thumbnail mode and not with Preview Mode.
I have Dual-Monitor switched o and restart the program. Now the two tasks are not opened on my two screens. I currently see the Edit screen and cannot switch to the Manager. Even with the task manager I cannot switch to the Manager of PSP. When I closed the program after switching on Dual-Monitor I had both tasks on different screens and so I would have expected to get it with the next start of the program.
If I open more then one picture I get a task in the taskbar for each opened picture. That seem to be very strange for me. I do not have more then one task of the program. I have several opened pictures in own windows (not tabbed) in one program.
I cannot find the time ruler on my screen or where you can add it in. There is simply a slider, with no ruler underneath it. Where can I find this feature?
According to Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom in a Book, there's a ruler tool hidden behind the Eyedropper tool. All I see are the Eyedropper tool, the Color sampler tool, and the Count tool.
I use the ruler tool a lot and hate the way it keeps reverting to the eye-dropper tool in the toolbar all the time! Is there a way to stop this from happening? If you use the ruler tool, then some other tools all seems okay until you save the image - at that point the ruler is replaced with the default eye-dropper tool. Therefore if you want to use it again you have to select it again which is a pain. Most tools seem to stay as they are when saving except the ruler. This was the same in CS3 by the way. I was hoping this might have been fixed in CS4. I'm using CS4ext in Vista Business.
I need to make a ruler in 1/32nd increments 4 inches high and 1/2 inch wide, I've tried going for help in other places but I'm such a newb to PS that I can't get it to come out right.....
when my ruler is set 1:1 that the scale does not give an accurate reading when I place a ruler on screen and measure it. Can this be corrected or am I just being daft.
I frequently use a flatbed scanner to capture images of them. I normally import the scan into Photoshop and tweak it before saving.
I'd like to also be able to easily put a ruler in the scanned image to show the size of the item scanned. A layer that was transparent except for a ruler that ran along the sides and top of the image would be perfect. Can I create such an image and then paste it on top of each scanned image?
Is there an easier way to do what I want to do? Maybe something already in Photoshop, or some kind of plug-in?
I need to make a ruler in 1/32nd increments 4 inches high and 1/2 inch wide, I've tried going for help in other places but I'm such a newb to PS that I can't get it to come out right. specifically I asked for help here but they don't seem a very friendly place for newbs. Some of you guys can probably whip this up really quickly, would you mind emailing me the PSD file at gjowen@knology.net, can you put a black rectangular border around the ruler so I will be able to cut it out easier?
What is the optimal number of dpi/inch or dpi/cm to work and to plot a 3m x 0.8m paper /photo paper/ orapaper , RGB or CMYK, are there plotters optimizeds to plot from RGB better CMYK ?
Something that has always bothered me since Photoshop's beginnings was that in high resolution files, at extreme screen magnifications, you can't measure using the rulers easily. In other programs, as you magnify the image on the screen, the ruler marks will keep reading their measurements. In Photoshop, you only get the full inch readings, not fractions of the inch. So if I want to draw a guide at 1/16" or find something at 1/16" in Photoshop, all I see is:
You have to shrink the image back down to find the 1" line and then zoom back and count the fractions to find the one you are looking for. I know you can use the ruler tool, but let's say you want to paint, or select starting at 1/16". Using the ruler tool becomes problematic, when all you want to do is see where 1/16" is on the screen.
