My friend recently bought a mac and is running CS6, the brush preview doesnt seem to be smooth as usual, as you can see the hardness is 50% and should have a soft edged preview display,
but thats not occuring, and the brush also draws with hard edges in the preview window, this was the default soft edged brush selected first.
I create my layers with the pen-tool and some of them I'd like to have a few - several wide pixel border -- and want to use the stroke effect. However, when I do, I get jagged edges on diagonals and curves.
How do I get these strokes to be anti-aliased?
How do I make curved lines in Photoshop that don't have the blocky pixelated edge?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is what you get when you fill something you've drawn with anti alias.
There's an uncolored space between the filling and the contour.
How do I work around this problem?
Is there som setting that can fix it, or do I have to fix it manually?
I've come up with 2 manual methods for fixing this.
Either making the background a similar color to that of the contour (if you've got black contours you use a nearly black background) so that the color in the spaces blends in with the contour.
But this doesn't work if you want to use more than one contour-color...
*it seems that the smaller the text i use the worst it looks, is there anyway i can reduce the amount of anti-aliaseding as it were on text so it appears sharper? ive tryed changing the methods but its still a long way from perfect.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a set of images of complex text that has already been rasterized into pixels. My client would like the images transformed with a different background color and different foreground (text) color.
Just replacing the 2 colors of course does not preserve the antialiasing which provides the smoothness. And when I try hand-editing the aliased pixels it takes forever and always looks pretty bad.
Ideally there would be a way to transform the color schema globally so that the 2 foreground and background colors are changed as directed, and all "intermediate" antialias pixels adjust "accordingly". Does such a transformation exist -- can you specify a color transformation that adjusts 2 colors at once?
Or is there a more painstaking process of masks and such? I've tried several versions with masks, selects, feathering etc. but haven't found anything yet that gives professional antialias quality to the final recolored result.
I made a triangle with the path tool, but then when I fill it with bucket fill the pixels either get filled or not filled. I want the original triangle, which doesn't lie on pixel edges but between edges ([0,16],[8.5,0],[17,16]), to be painted in such a way that if a pixel is partially in the triangle it gets partially painted. I'm working on a 17x16 size image.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe brush preview size does not match brush stroke. I've insert a pic of the problem. I tried allmost everythning, but nothing works.
I use a wacom tablet.
I can't get the red brush preview to work.
I can change the brush size through the shortcut (alt, right-click, drag), but it doesn't preview.
Also, when I try to change the hardness, I get no preview at all either.
The command works, but all I get it a round hairline.
When my instructor shows the brush preview mode, his brush looks like the selected brush, which means that if there's a lot of feathering on it, he can see that. In the same mode and with the same cursor settings in the preferences, I only get a circle indicating the size of the brush. There's nothing to see about the relative hardness of it. COuld this be because I'm running on Windows XP? If not, how can I get to see the brush the way he does.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason brush preview has disappeared and I cannot find a way to show it again. In the Show Extras menu it is checked, but it is nowhere in the UI. I remember moving it from top left to bottom left and slightly decreasing the window size, but now its gone for good. In 3D mode the secondary view window is up there just fine.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn Photoshop 6 the preview of the brushsize get almost invisible when working with low opacity, the same problem occurs when working with Dodge tool and low exposure.
In earlier versions the preview showed in 100% even if working in low opacity. Now it's impossible to se how big feather och the size of the brush without first going up too higher opacity. Can I somehow show the preview in 100% even if working in low opacity like 3%?
It used to be in Gimp 2.8.8 for Mac I would see the preview of the brush as the cursor so I could judge what the size was going to be now in 2.8.10 Mac (running Mavericks).
I have no preview. Just an cross hair and the brush icon. So I have to blindly guess the size of the brush. Is there a way to get this back?

I have a lot of images that were rendered out of 3DS MAX. A long time ago I recorded an action to make an alpha channel, use it as a mask, and save as 2 different file types. Worked great. Now, I need to open a bunch of these and somehow get rid of the anti aliasing around the image. I need crisp jaged edges. how to make an aliased selection?

I have used Photoshop for years. I finally got Photoshop CS.
I can't do many things that I used to. One in particular is frustrating me beyond.....well anyway.
I just want to to a simple thing...Black background...and a polygon shape with another color. What happens everytime is the edges are antialised or look like a gradient. I want crisp edges and I can't seem to do it.
When I assign object Ids to my scene and render out the object ID pass it comes out very stair stepped and chunky. Is there an easy fix?

A feature notably absent from the Oil Paint filter is any way to temporarily disable the effect (e.g., not preview it).I happen to like using Oil Paint to make refllections in the surface of water smoother and more "liquid" (which involves turning off the "Shine"), and it would really be nice if I could easily gauge the amount of the effect easily by blinking back and forth between original and processed image with a quick "disable preview" functionality.
With most standard filters, one can either uncheck a [ ] Preview box, and/or click the mouse button down on the image to temporarily show what the image is like without the effect.Yes, I know I can turn the Stylization down to 0.1 and see how a very minimal amount of the effect can be applied. And I can look at the original image in Photoshop proper, but of course that can't be zoomed while the Oil Paint filter is active.
Also, the zooming / panning seems kind of stiffly implemented.In summary, the more or less standard and expected filter features I'd like to see added to this (new class of) GPU-accelerated filters are:Preview/No Preview capability. It doesn't have to update Photoshop, just the preview display in the filter itself. I suggest a [ ] Preview checkbox and/or an on-mouse-click temporary effect disable.
Modal click and drag Zooming vs. Panning - i.e., based on a Zoom or Pan function selected (e.g., via an icon along the left) vs. having to hold modifier keys down. I personally would want it set to Zoom by default, not Pan. Since the filter has scroll bars (a Good Thing), I would have thought Zoom would have been a better default as it is. I have implemented these things in my own GPU-accelerated plug-ins, so I know that all the infrastructure Adobe needs to support them is already in there. These changes are controls only and should be trivial to implement.
I scanned some text hand-written with a magic marker. i use threshold to get the artwork plain black and white, select the white with the magic wand, select similar and then delete. i'm left with the solid black image with crisp edges. i have marquee tools, lasso tools, and magic wand set to anti-aliasing off. feather i set to 0.
when i rotate the image to make it level, the image gets anti-aliased. to try to correct that i select the pixels of the image with command click on the layer, delete that layer and make a new layer. then i just have shape of the image created by the selection tool. when i use fill to try to fill it in, the image is anti-aliased. all i want to do is fiil in exactly inside the shape that i have selected.
I created a pixel/blocky style of logo in Illustrator. Need to bring it into Photoshop for scaling/coloring/etc. Unfortunately, when I try to scale the logo down in Photoshop 7 (via drag/drop/scale/place), it applies anti-aliasing to the logo. This is obviously no good since the logo is pixel based, including a pixel style font.
How do you resize/scale things without anti-aliasing in Photoshop? (Especially with the Transform/Scale tool, as opposed to using "Image > Resize" (with "Resample Image: Nearest Neighbor").)
I'm not used to using files back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop.
The Text tool has options for anti-aliasing - Strong, Crisp, etc. Is there anything similar when filling paths?
I am filling two paths with a common edge; when the Anti-alias box is un-checked, the border looks ragged, but when the box is checked, the border looks grey. I can get the results I want by filling twice with anti-aliasing turned on, but I would like to have the box "Half-checked".
Photoshop worked completely fine until four days ago; now whenever I try to write text it is jagged and not anti-aliased in vector form or once rasterised.

I'm using Photoshop CS 8.0.
I am trying to transform a sprite which is about 32x32 and while using Photoshop's free transform tool to size it to something like 600x600 it becomes horribly distorted (thanks to the anti-aliasing). I need to turn it off while transforming, yet I see no option.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to do some anti-aliasing on my drawing. I have a drawing that I scanned in and I cut out a few components of my scan in MS Paint. I did this by drawing the outline manually in one color and then coloring the background with that same color and then copying it with that color as the see-through color. The problem is that the contours look terrible on a black background since MS Paint can't help with anti-aliasing. Instead, I've got these cut-out drawings of objects with a thin white glow around them. That is, when I cut them out, it was extremely hard to move along the lines EXACTLY. I tended to cut more outside the lines than in, and so I took a lot of the white background with it. I need a way in PhotoShop to get rid of those white lines and then do some better anti-aliasing. How can I do this?
