Photoshop :: Brush Dynamic ( Thin To Thick And Back )
Dec 9, 2007
I reloaded my Wacom and PSD. I have current drivers and all appears as normal, however... I can't for the life of me get the settings right to draw using pressure, from a thin to think line and back. I played with those settings in Brush dynamics and it will only draw as a round stroke with no thickness variations.
It must still be possible to simply paint a stroke with the paint brush that will fade away from thick to thin and to then to nothing. I can do this easily in my trusty PS version 6, but I can't find this feature in CS. (There's something called "Fade" in CS, but it's a whole different thing.) This is not a "nice-to-have" feature, it is essential. For example, it allows me to draw cartoons with lines that appear to be painted the way a brush makes lines that start out fat and gradually get thinner and thinner.
I'm using the pen tool tracing a drawing and want to create the line thats thick at one end and thin at the other, like calligraphy type lines, how tdo you set them up?
How to create these thick/thin lines like in the atom illustration I've added here:
I need to create arrowheads (two) as well on each circular shape, so that's why I'm trying to figure out a technique of doing this through the use of the LINE tool (for easy addition of the arrowheads, obviously).
I was using AutoCAD 2009 and it was set up for me. Now I'm using 2012. How do I get the big thick coloured UCS (XYZ) that looks like three arrows back on screen. The one that is on my screen at the moment is the one that looks like three thin stiks (XYZ).
I am looking to make a brush that I can use for cartooning in CS6 that starts out thin, gets thicker with pressure (I have a cintiq), and ends in a thin line.
i opened up ps7 today to do my daily thing but i do random stuff with photoshop and the outlines to my brushes no longer show up its just a cross hair in the middle of the screen.
A couple of weeks ago, I was doing a Photoshop tutorial that had me change my brush settings to spatter. Now I can't remember where I changed it or find the spot where I can change it back.
I will try that with the lasso tool. But, my main concern is how to get the color back when using the brush tool, picking from the color box. All, I get now is the grey-rose color, for my brush, no matter which color I chose from the box. When I go to apply the color I have chosen, only the grey-rose color appears no matter what. How do I get back to picking the color and then it (the color chosen) appears on my image?
I am using LR 4.2 and I have a question about the non-destructive editor, specifically the use of adjustment brushes. After I work with an adjustment brush and then go on with my editing I can't figure out how to make tweaks to what was darn earlier on the adjustment brush area. With all the other editing functions I can change something and then later make a change. For example, I can set -10 highlights and then later I can change it to -15 highlights and then later change it to something else. With things I have done with adjustment brushes though I haven't figured out the technique to do that. If I select adjustment brush and then click on the area that I had earlier changed with an adjustment brush it doesn't seem to reselect that area so that I can tweak it. Is there a way to go back and tweak areas selected with an adjustment brush?
I recently purchased Designer Pro 7 after a trial period. During the trial, I had the default brush gallery, and had also downloaded some additional brushes. After downloading the content pack earlier this week, my brush gallery disappeared. The only brush that is available is the "normal line". All of my "galleries" are checked in the Utilities menu. How to get the brush gallery back?
When I work with brush I very often have to move my image verically or horizontally. Therefore I have to find the state where i can use the hand to move my image. This I have done purely using the try & error method. How toswitch between brush and move. Zoom also is a bit problematic for me. I am too stuck to PSE.
For example, whenever you use the distance command it automatically turns the dynamic input back on. We have turned off the settings under drafting settings - dynamic input. I have also turned off the tooltips under options - display tab. Is there a patch or update?
I'm currently using my created brush and when I try to use the basic brush, it immediately jumps back to my created brush with it's stroke size.
Align to pixel grid is turned off so it cant ber that.
I used to resolve this problem (when I was actually trying to keep using my created brush when it was reverting back to basic brush) but I would resolve it by double clicking on the designated brush in the brushes palette.
Also seeing as were on the subject of brushes, nop matter how I adjust the firmness/ pressure both in the driver setting of my wacom and for the brush in illustrator, I see no difference?
My adjustments regardless of the effect I choose suddently are showing up on the photo in red color. What can I do to get the adjustment brush back to normal operation?
why I can't export the "Distance 1" attribute out of thsi drawing using the ATTOUT command. I need to build a series of constrained drawings using Dynamic blocks so I can send info from an Excel spreadsheet back and forth bewteen a drawing. I think I'll have to buy a 3rd party utility for that but for now, how to simply get the info out of ACAD and into Excel thsat would be a great start.
I use photoshop a fair amount, but only to edit photos. For work I need to be able to circle something in an image and I cannot figure out how to draw a thick, red circle around some text. How do you do it?
how do I create nice thing lines that are curved, I used the pen tool and then stroke the work path but it doesnt look the same because if I use a really thin brush...say 1 px, it comes out edgy, and thicker brushes create lines that are too thick.
I have created a business card layout in PS 7. It will be on white and I would like to add a very thin double border around it. The only way I know how to create a thin border is by using the rectangle margee to create and merge 4 "strips", but these are too wide.
how I can make thin borders and be able to set the colors? The each need to be different colors.
I am trying to make thin line boxes like those seen on sites like yahoo! etc... when I create a box using the rectangular marquee, and make the border 1 pixes, it makes the line too thick. Any idea how to make a finer line/border around a box?
Ok, first off my friend is a little bit on the chunky side so I wanted to take a picture of him and edit in Photoshop making him really skinny like anorexic so you can see his bones and stuff... pretty much like a walking skeleton... can anyone help me on how I might be able 2 go about doing this?
