View 3 RepliesYes, it's been well over a decade since I upgraded from my Wacom Intuos 2 pen/pad, but I think I've finally worn the thing into the grave. It had served me well, so I didn't see need to get any new versions--until now.
Â
So my question is, what do you recommend as an upgraded improvement? There's newer models of the Intuos pad/pen and there's also Bamboo pad/pens. I'm an illustrator that colors my work in great detail exclusively on Phtotoshop so I'd love to get a pen/tablet that handles all daunting assignments. And because I'm an illustrator, I can't really afford a Cintiq tablet, so I guess an Intuos of Bamboo are my choices.
My ancient Intuos 2 pen still works so-so but it suddenly started delaying and I find I have to tap the pad with the pen to get the cursor to move in the area I want it to. I installed the Intuos 2 driver again but nothing's changed. Yep, time for new tools.
How to add in PS effect of ancient liny picture? I did not find standard PS filter for that.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI work with old manuscripts, many of which are digitised and available online. However one of the problems our readers have encountered is differentiating the main text from ink which is coming through the page from behind (bleed-through), and ink which has come from the page adjacent (offset). What I am hoping to achieve is to have one final image with the main text in one colour, and the bleed-through and offset in other colours so we can quickly identify what is real and what isn't.
I usually work with ImageJ but am hoping to use GIMP to assign colours to each of these layers. I have three base images to work with (the front of the page, the back of the page horizontally flipped, and the adjacent page which is causing offset). They aren't registered, but even something like using semi-transparency on an overlay, and physically colouring in the different ink areas could work, but I'm not sure where to start.
In my 2D drawings I use a lot of splines. I restore/convert antique drawings of ancient boats and sailplanes in/to Autocad 2012. I use these drawings as a raster image and draw precisely over the handcrafted lines. So these original drawings contain a lot of hand shaped (organic) formes that go through, by dimension defined, fitpoints (so as indicated on the original plan) and are tangent to other lines elsewhere in the plan.
As I draw a lot of these splines, I want to manipulate the default settings in order to save time and effort.Is there a way in Autocad 2012 to increase the weight, by default, of a vertex point in such a way so that the vertex point becomes a fit point by itself? What is the maximum value to give to a vertex point? Does it become a fit point then?
When a fitpoint and a vertex point coincide, how to keep them stay that way; that means relocate both at the same time when editing the spline, and not one seperately.
I don't want to see these splines to leave the points they absolutely should go through as I clicked them when drawing the spline. I want splines to be smooth, and to stay smooth even after replacing fit points or vertici. And I don't have the time to re-re-re-re-refine every single spline I draw, as I draw so many. I've tried so hard to fix this problem, but I can't, probably because of incompetence.
When working in a drawing, I don't see a selection for weld symbols in Annotate - Symbols. Are they not available in LT? Is there something I need to do to activate them?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question concerning the symbols on map. You see, I'm making a world map in Photoshop (atlas style), and I am wondering what to use as map symbols (for city sizes and such). So I settled for the standard ones (image below), but how to make these, or how to start making these.

Should I use the brush tool, or perhaps the custom shape tool (what is the difference between those two?), or something entirely else?
Don't say "Why don't you just copy the icons?", because they are kind of low-res and I really want to learn this myself.
every time I try to type a number or symbol, the blinking line suddenly switches over to the left side of whatever I'm type, and it's like everything is in reverse. I can't type numbers on symbols with the text tool normally at all.I literally just installed it and this problem appeared.also, unless, I make the switch, the blinking line will stay on the left side of the text no matter what. this is really weird. everything I type is in reverse.

©®™ - I copied this from FrontPage's symbol feature.
Where do I find these symbols in Photoshop7, especially the copyright symbol?
I think it was in "Photoshop Classroom In A Book" i inserted the symbol with some keyboard short cut but I forget and can't find it in the book.
Whenever I use the text tool the cursor and symbols and so on are always on the left and when I try and use a symbol they are put at the start of whatever I type.
- Reset Text tool.
- Make sure type preference is on default.

I have tried switching smart quotes on and off in the preferences, restarting, etc. I've noticed this problem in the past, but I thought it was the font I was using. The same thing happens with Times New Roman. I'm running an up to date version of PSextended CS5, 64bit on win 7 64.Â
I'm trying to create a certain effect that is probably best illustrated with pictures
created by varying the thickness of lines, whether horizonal or part of letters or even symbols.
I don't know if this is even possible using photoshop to be perfectly honest. If that's the case, does anyone know the software that would be required?
I have just installed the updates 1 & 2 because I am now running windows 7. Since I have done this I cannot get symbols such as ® © and others to work. I need to place a copyright symbol in something i am producing. It would be great if I could cut and paste from a word document but I can't do that either.

How common is it to produce 2D symbols as well as 3D symbols? And, if 3D symbols are common, what programs are easiest/best to use?
Additionally, what are the standard set of views for the symbols? Just overhead? Or overhead and profile?
A consultant (of our office roofing department) provided CAD drawings of roofs depicting various roof symbols to represent equipment, this survey was years ago so I had no hands in it. The office roof inspector is hoping I may be able to change all the symbols to be industry standard symbols as the consultant used their own. Originally I told the roofing department it would be easy as I would just write a lisp and a script to change all the symbols to the new blocks...or so I thought.
As soon as I opened one of the consultant's files, those symbols...were not blocks, they were all comprised of lines, circles and hatches. In my frustration, I contacted the consultant and wanted a clarification on this, they simply drew the lines in and copied and pasted the symbols over and over again.
I got 240 drawings to literally update overtime. Each drawing can have an average of 30 symbols. Is there a way for autocad to recognize certain line patterns or hatch patterns (actually only the solids were used) and then store the x,y co-ordinates?
When I use the sync settings in illustrator it won't sync my custom symbols. It syncs everything else.
