Basically, there you can see a selection of default brushes, and how some of them appear like just small circles, rather than a smooth, hard round default brush like they should. The second one is the one highlighted in the window.

When I use other brushes with my Wacom Bamboo they too look just a bit less effective than they used to. I don't want to reinstall
I have a problem with drawing small circles in Illustrator, because when I export them they are not "smooth". The edges seem like truncated. Have a look here with "Pixel preview" turned on:
Â
And now, setting an offset of +0.5px for X and Y, the circle is how I want it to be:
Â
Why? Is there a way to "smooth" the circle?
In PSE 8 I regularly used to round corners of images (as backgrounds or flattened images) by "Select All/Modify/Smooth?10px/Enter/Inverse/Delete" and had perfectly rounded corners to sit on a white background.I cannot for the life of me get the 'Smooth' option to light up in PSE11, it is permanently greyed out. The only 'Modify' option in bold is 'Border'

Searching for how to simply, quickly smooth round edges, I learned a lot of other things I'd been wondering how to do in PDN. But I didn't find a simple way to smooth round edges of non professional grade (not art) round outer edges. Say, for a Windows icon.
Â
Even drawing the circle on a 32 x 32 background, when saved as png then opened in Greenfish Icon Editor & converted to ICO, the real icon (say on desktop) is still a bit jagged in places. The points at 0, 90, 180, 270 deg are obviously flattened & rest of circumference is a bit jagged (not terrible, but...).
Â
I tried several tools to smooth edges a bit, but of course pixels are square... Read numerous posts - like [URL].....
This WAY overkill for what I'm doing - right now. Useful for later. All I want is circles or rounded corners on simple objects w/o spending much time - not for this type stuff. I learned good techniques useful for higher quality work.
Â
PDN doesn't seem to have a simple, quicker way to half decently smooth circles / corners. Everything I tried just followed the square pixel edges or is quite tedious. Greenfish has some pretty decent tools - for making icons. But, smoothing rounded edges for something in the 32 px wide range is still pretty time consuming. Needs an algorithm to smooth circumferences.
I am very much a Noob at photoshop, this is officially the 2nd time I have used it. I have a small image, I want to rotate it 30 degrees counterclockwise. I also mant to put a small black border (10 pixels) around the outside of it. You can see the one I tried up in the banner on my developing site.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6 and I noticed a weird change in how brushes with 0% hardness are displayed. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like this or if it's a problem with my settings etc.

So here is how it looks on 500%

- 0% hardness brush, Opacity 100%, black on transparent background

I have been searching for a smaller desktop since mine is heavy and we need to be able to transport it. I am planning on upgrading to CS6, so will need a good compatible video card.
Â
I often have several files open at once, and many layers. Hobbiest, but serious about editing and manipulating photos. I also need to run lightroom and sometimes have a few other programs open such as a web browser.
Â
I would prefer a company known for reliability and decent customer service and hope to keep the price range under $2,000. Right now I am limted to a laptop with Elements 10 and am getting almost desperate. Would also consider a reliable online business that builds to suit.
Â
Is if possible to find a small desktop with a video card capable of handling all CS6 can do, and with two hard drives? Is it best to use the second hard drive just for scratch and use an external drive to store the photo library or would working with the photos on an external drive slow things down?

I want to stick with Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit, even if I have to buy a copy and reformat the new drive to install it. Mainly because Win 8 is too new for my comfort level. I have enjoyed Win 7.
I found a strange behavior of AutoCAD. When I was modifying a drawing and adding dimension annotation, there suddenly come some small circles as highlighted in yellow in the screenshot.

First, there is no way I can't select them.
Second, zooming doesn’t change their size.
What these small circles are? How to get rid of them?
When I use the healing brush is tends to "skip". It leaves a line of circles like a stamp would instead of a flowing line like it should leave. No matter how slow I move the brush it leaves a circle and then as I continue to draw nothing happens until I reach the edge of the first circle, it then drops another circle and it continues that way as long as I draw with it.  The brush tool works fine, leaves a smooth line. The Spot Healing and Patch Tool work fine but the healing brush will not heal in a smooth stroke. It skips along a leaves a tail of circles the size of the brush. I am using a fast computer, i7 processor, 16bg ram and a SSD drive so I do not think speed is an issue. I upgraded from CS4 where the healing brush worked fine on this computer
View 3 Replies View Relatedhow do you get your default brushes back? I just got sets of new ones, which I was adding them at the time, and I accidently replaced my old ones. I tried uploading all the files that I could, but I never got those Circle brushes back. I may have missed one, I was able to get the Square brushes, but not the ones that PS(7 in this case) came with. Are these in the same brushes folder? Do I need to download them to get it back?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed CS4 on my new Vista machine. After setting up my Wacom tablet, installing all the appropriate software I find Photoshop is not responding to me pen sensitivity as it has on my previous machine (Mac with CS1). Specifically I'm thinking the default brushes are incorrect, specifically I use the hard brush that by default should go from small - large- small. Thinking I was missing a setting I compared both side by side and sure enough my settings for default brushes are the same on both machines but I'm not getting the dynamic brush that I had on my Mac. Below is a screen shot I found online of what i'd like to have in my setup. in yellow is where I'd like to get to but at the bottom of the image is where I'm at currently. Any help would be appreciated. I just know the solution is going to be so simple that I'll bang my head on the desk when I get it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using CS4 and am searching for a particular brush - Oil Medium Wet Flow. This brush is already loaded in my pallette but I cannot find out which Brush set it belongs to. Someone asked where the brush is located but am unable to answer, and have spent quite a bit of time looking for it. I have downloaded many brushes so I have a huge list, but I know that it is a default brush. I wondered if there is a list of the default brushes available as I've trawled the internet to find one and so far haven't been able to. What I'm looking for is something that gives me each default brush set and the sub-category of individual brushes within. For example, Assorted Brushes, then all the brushes within that group. It would be really nice to have a list of these I can refer to without having to select the brush set first. Also, is there any way of knowing where brushes are from that are loaded in your pallette?

 This started happening only recently. I can only guess perhaps an update to Windows or something has really jerked up my Photoshop, not sure.Â

Can I define a location as the default starting point to find the pictures? I don't see how to put that into presets. Or can a key shortcut be created to go straight to c:/users/name/mypictures/2013/April15 etc?

Whenever i touch to adjust brush size by mouse it always is like this: brush size 334 or brush size 554.. Why it is so easy to pick 400size brush and almost imposible to pick 40 size brush?
Brush are? its like 500px wide.. since when small brushes are obsolete?? i never use bigger brush than 50! and most of the time i use brushes that are less than 10(value)
So its pretty important for me(i hope not only for me) to easily pick small brush sizes..

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a logo. Circular logo with an inner ring maybe 4 px wide and 15 px inside the rim of the outer circle.
Basically I want a blue circle with a yellow inside ring. What's the best way of doing this? The only thing i can think of is: creating a blue circle marquee, and then another (trying to estimate a new circle size and change the color) that is yellow, and then making another smaller blue circle inside the new one. That's just ugly.
I tried the edit/stroke but that just gave me a stroke around the outer circle; it didn't put a ring inside the circle 15 px down.
Also I tried to contract the original circle by selecting it, then Modify/contract. That's got me a selected ring, inside the circle. Now how in the world do I make that little ring yellow? It just remains selected and I can't seem to find a way to color it.
I have gotten to a point where I have the round text,, I have a seal with a blank space.. I would like to put the round text into the blank space,, but when I try, and no matter how I try,, the text is a white square with round text on it when I try to place it in the circle.
The other thought that came to me,, what if ..(the text circle size was a guess) the text does not fit.. how do I expand or collape it? I know I have in the pass while playing with round text.. gone back to that effect and changed angles, start points etc.. is that the only way?
I have attached what I have so far. ( I tried to attach the Paint.net file but I guess you can't, so these are the two I am working on,, as layers in Paint.net)

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am interested in grouping and sorting brushes according to size, shape, whatever.
Right now when I add a brush library, they just stack on top of one another.
For example let's say I have a round brush with a 10 diameter, then next to it a round brush with a 20 diameter. If I make a 15, it goes to the bottom of the list, and I have to scroll all around. How can I group them?
I suspect I would have to make my own brush library with my brushes how I want them, then save that and load it?
How do you rearrange the brushes in the brushes box?
I've seen they are arranged by name, so how do you rename the brushes since renaming the file name don't rename the brush.
I know it must be a blending option or whatever, but like each circle looks different than the other, with like the effects and everything.
