I need to use gradient on a shape so that it's black on the borders and lighter in the center. The problem is, Radial gradient does not make all the borders black (it's not a circle after all) and if i use resize well...it resizes on a median point but it does not do the same with let's say, 10px from the border .....

I'm using CS4 and trying to follow any number of tutorials and I get completely stumped every time at this point.
I'm asked to create a rectangle the size of my canvas and fill it. Fine. Then create a rounded rectangle overtop of it. Fine. Then I'm to go into blending options and Gradient Overlay. Fine. This is where I'm stumped.
They show the "gradient editor". I cannot find this for the life of me. Adobe CS4 docs state there should be a gradient preview in the info panel. There isn't because I'm not using the gradient tool.
The problem I'm having is presspull/extrude irregular shapes.
I have some really weird, irregular shapes that's consisted of fillets, lines, and arcs. For some reason I cannot REGION it. But I can HATCH it, and give it a solid inner part.
My irregular after being filled, can't be extruded. When I try extruding it, the command line goes "This kind of shape cannot be extruded", without any explanation, or keywords.
Then, if I try to PressPull, it only PressPull the outline of the irregular shape, without pulling out the inner bulk part.
Then if I try to do anything more, my AutoCad likes to go "About to regen -- proceed?" error.
when i reopen a doc with vector shapes on cs6 the shapes that have a gradient change the colors to a gradient made of the foreground and background colors that i had set in that moment:( like all the gradients turn grayscale, usually or any other 2 color combination i had. i dont want to rasterize or convert to smart objects the vector shapes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to Illustrator and am trying to create a 3D dish that looks silver on one side and gold on the other. Is there a way I can do this? If I want to add further shapes to the top of this dish is it better to add these before applying the 3D effect? If so is it possible to apply the gradients to only part of the shape?
Alternatively would it be possible to use the gradient mesh in concave shape. The default mesh is convex. Is there an easy way to change this to concave?
I have been working with Xara for two days now, and it's great! I am using the trial version of Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 9. I created a file with a couple of transparent shapes (love the transparency tool - so easy!), and it looked great. I exported to .pdf, and the transparent gradient was all gone. The shapes are there, but have no gradient whatsoever.
I also exported it as a .jpg and the gradients are present in the .jpg. In other words, the .xar file looks great and the .jpg looks great. Just the .pdf doesn't work.
I click the gradients panel and then the dropdown of gradients on the left side.
All I see is: White Black, Gold Dust, and Blue Sky.
I know AI has a ton more gradients premade than that so why aren't they in the list? How do I add more to that dropdown?

Now that I´m done, I realised there is a problem... how can I color in the drawing, if the lines themselves make up the shape? Essentially, I´m left with blank spaces in between all the lines instead of solid individual shapes that can be colored in.
What can I do? I´m so desperate I´m thinking of creating a gazillion individual shapes with the colors, and slapping them underneath the lines to "improv" a fill. But that will take waay too long, so is there an easier way?
If I could "invert" the shape I have now, so that the blank spaces become individual shapes, and the lines become blank spaces.
Easy enough in ID and Ill, sure. However, how do you wrap text around an irregular shaped object in Photoshop?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Photoshop CS6 on a desktop running Windows 7 with AMD Radeon HD 6750 and I noticed that when I zoom at 66.7% or 33%, the pictures edges look "jagged"/blurry, etc. and the image only has a smooth rendering at 100%, 50%, 25%, etc.
I wouldn't ask about this except, I have the same exact version of Photoshop on my laptop, running Windows 7 with Intel's HD 4000 built-in graphics, and this computer displays smooth rendering of images at any zoom level, no matter what. So why the difference? The settings in the Preferences > Performance section is identical on both computers.
Like the title says I'd like to know how to darken (or change the color) a specific irregular area of a picture, without afecting the rest of the picture.

I recently wrote myself an action that includes a gradient layer (two colors in radial so one color is in the center and fades to another on the outer edges)
The gradient's position is exactly as I want it when I return the action on horizontal images, but doesn't work on vertical, as the gradient stays horizontal when the action is run, and so the edges are more or less lost.
This might be a daft question, but is there anything I can write into the action so it knows when it's running on a vertical picture, and when it's running on a horizontal one, so the gradient layer will have the corresponding position? Or is this (as i have a feeling it might be) a case of inserting a stop, and message telling the user to manually adjust the angle of the gradient before continuing?
I have been trying the achieve a smooth colour gradient in one of my PS drawings using the gradient tool. No matter what I do I alway get banding. The worst scenario is when I try to use radial gradient.
I'm using large (80x50ins@200dpi) 8bit psd files on a colornavigator calibrated Eizo CG301w. (Vistax64)
Greyscale gradients are really smooth but the colour gradients are not....
there's a sharp transition after the smooth one (transition end and fill color doesn't match)... What is configured wrong? in the gradient settings, there's only one color, and gradient midpoints are also in the middle...
