Photoshop Elements :: How To Retrace Line Drawing V 9
Jun 26, 2013
I have some black and white line drawings that I made in Elements 9 just using the pencil tool. (Plain white background with black lines.)
Since I made them all using the pencil tool, it made all the lines sort of "blocky" and jagged at the line thickness I chose. And now I just recently figured out that I could have been using the paint brush the whole time and the lines would have been nice and smooth (as opposed to the jagged ones from the pencil).
Because I don't want to completely re-draw the diagrams from the beginning, anyway to make those pencil lines just change to smooth paint brush lines? Or am I going to just have to start over and/or trace the old lines in a new layer?
Elements isn't really for drawing things, but it's all I have to work with right now.

How you retrace part an object, and in this case, part of a letter. Look at my attempt below, to show what I'm trying to do...
What is the best way to go about it? Pen Tool (Tediuos...), Copy letter and cut off at certain point?

I'm trying to use the line tool to draw a colored line, I draw the line via Line tool, it appears in grey, I right click>stroke path and select Pencil > OK, the line is still grey and not the foreground color. If I do the same with a Rectangle Tool, it works fine and darws me a nice colored rectangle. What am I doing wrong? This is driving me nuts...!!

I have to draw a rather weird drawing with a lot of angled lines. Currently I'm using UCS to draw them but it's really tiresome.
I would draw 1 line, then type in UCS, select the X and Y axis, draw that line, escape, then hit in UCS again, rinse and repeat.
Is there a simpler way? I tried polar tracking "relative to last segment" but it still uses the x axis as the base, which is not what I want. I want the line to be the X axis.

I am currently working with an image that I want to have end up being a 2d line image in a CAD program (or illustrator, i can go illustrator -> cad)
I started by using the cutout filter on the image, to make it have 4 layers. Then, I used the magic want tool to make each cutout layer its own photoshop layer.
This is where I am stuck. I cannot figure out how to move forward from this. I tried putting the image into Illustrator, but when I get it in there, with the 4 layers from photoshop, I cannot get teach cutout "block" to be its own vector; it is just recognized as an image file.

I am on a PC using Photoshop CS3. I have drawn a besier curve using the pen tool and would now like to 'stroke' the line so that I have a nice thin sharp line. If I 'right click' I only get the option to stroke the path using one of the brushes and 'simulate pressure'.

I have photoshop cs4 extended and a wacom tablet + pen. Sometimes while I sketch(drawing lines fast) making dots, drawing things close to each other, a thick line jump from my dot or start point of drawing to some other point in the line. It's really annoying when you sketch something and suddenly and thick black line jumps across your drawing. Or when drawing dots close to each other, a line suddenly connects them.

Started producing a new catalogue some time ago very happy working away on the first 3 – 4 pages
Before long I was up to 100 pages, looking fantastic. But then the thought come to me, I have set may page colour to BLACK and all my drawing and text are WHITE as I said looks fantastic until you go to print a page. How much black Ink would you use printing 100 pages black.
SO MY QUESTION IS CAN COREL REVERSE THE LINE ART TO BLACK AND THE PAGE TO WHITE SO I CAN HAVE A PRINTABLE VERSION ?
I have tried publishing to PDF then in acrobat replacing document colours and on screen that works fine but when you print it still prints
With the black background and white text for some reason.

I scan cartoons I've drawn so that I can colour them in Photoshop. However, when I click within an area I wanted coloured, I get a thin white line between the colour and the black outline. No matter what I do, I cannot get rid of this except to keep on clicking the colour until the line disappears. Is there a quick and more effective way of filling colour without this hassle?

I am using CS2.
I have a line drawing of a simple object that I would like to convert into a shape.
I have figured out how to cut the shape itself out of the original image using the magic wand select tool thing and altering the tolerance. So I have the cut-out shape on a transparent layer in a .psd file. All well and good.
I looked up "shapes" in the help center, and it says this:
"To convert type to shapes
When you convert type to shapes, the type layer is replaced by a layer with a vector mask. You can edit the vector mask and apply styles to the layer; however, you cannot edit characters in the layer as text."
It continues:
"Select a type layer, and choose Layer > Type > Convert To Shape".
Everything was going swimmingly untill that point - I go to the Layer menu - but "Type" is greyed out and therefore inaccessible.
I then did a search for "type layer" to find out what a type layer was - it says:
"About type layers:
After you create a type layer ...
tell me what a type layer is (I figure it has something to do with font, but I don't see how this relates to my line drawing), how to create one, or how to get my drawing into a type layer so I can convert it to a shape!

way to draw a line down the exact center of an image, and possibly make the line look cool. I'm trying to create a custom Magic the Gathering playmat thing for a program for testing decks out.
I tried the line tool, but it doesn't seem to allow you to fill it in with the paintbucket after, or do anything with it for that matter. I just want a cool looking divider.
Then I might create another split into 3 sections vertically for 6v6 battles, any way to measure this out automatically?

I can usually don't have a problem blending images and making them look like part of the paper, but I'm stuck on this one. I have a drawing that I want to make look like it was sketched on the "paper" I made in photoshop. I have an image something like this....
[URL]
My image has a colored background and heavy black lines. I got the background out OK, but now the black part is too heavy and it doesn't look natural, but if I lower the opacity, then it looks too faded. What do I do??? The paper I made is equivlant to a brown paper bag.

I have a few images that are essentially line drawings (B&W) that I want to make larger for presentation (i.e., click for larger size) on our new Website. The current size is not large enough.
If I increase pixel sizes, the quality is terrible. For example, see:
[URL]....on our 'test Website'. [Please note Website is work-in-progress.]
Settings *jpg: Width - 270; Height - 138; Scale styles - Y; Constrain proportions - Y; Resample image - Bicubic
If I increase *jpg to Width - 450; Height - 230, I get UGLY.
When I Save for Web as *gif, I change Width - 450; Height - 230, it still appears fuzzy, although not as much.

First off I'm using AutoCAD 2008 and I'm trying to input survey points to establish a subdivision.
My units are set as follow: length type: decimal with precision set at: 0.00. Angle type: Surveyor's Units with precision set at: N 0d00'00" E. Units to scale inserted content: feet.
I have a specific point at which i want to start from and that is 1421334.93,78320.62 which is my benchmark. I want to start my next point at 113.66 feet away from this benchmark at a bearing of N 5d27'23" W. So far I have tried using the command @113.66<N5d27'23"W but nothing happens.

How do you draw a line within a shape? I know how to make a circle or rectangle (through the circle or rectangle select tool/stroke path) and how to draw straight lines. I want to take a box like this:
-----
1 1
1 1
1 1
-----
and add a line through the center like this:
-----
1 1
1-----1
1 1
-----
And of course I'd prefer the line be neat, from one end of the shape to the other, not just a sloppily drawn line.
Of course I can do this very slowly by drawing the line, zooming way in, and manually moving the line into place. But surely there's a better way!

I guess we're talking simple vector graphics--I'm working on a rivets layer and want to add a matrix of dotted lines to complement a fuselage. My challenge is that most of the lines should be slanted. I've been looking for some "line tool" that creates a straight line between two defined points. It seems, however, that Gimp has no vector tool. Maybe I can address this by drawing a right angled matrix and then use a perspective tool?
