In Photoshop, I realized that the shape tool is divided into three prefered styles - Shape, Path, and Pixels. In Shape, I have the option to to change the stroke and fill but not alias it. In Pixels, I have the option to alias it but not change both the fill and stroke. If I create a shape as one style, I cannot convert it to another. Is there a way to change both the fill and stroke of an aliased shape?
View 4 RepliesI try to anti-alias or matte the edges of a shape in order to make a transparent gif/png of it without having pixelated 'hard edges'. The current situation is that I have a selection of some shape in GIMP. Below the layer with the shape in it, I stroke the selection of my shape with a lighter colour by using a fuzzy paintbrush. This gives me some sort of anti-alising effect, but it isn't any close to the matte option in the 'export for web' dialog of Photoshop. Because I really do like GIMP, I am curious if there is a better way to get anti-aliased shapes using Gimp?

View 4 Replies View Relatedi had imported a few hundred Illustrator paths to After Effects, then used "Create shapes from vector layer" to make them editable Shape layer paths to then run scripts that equalize the number of vertices on each path.
After this i thought via online tutorial that Edit > Edit Original.. would replace or update the originating paths to same number of vertices back in Illustrator, but this was proven wrong.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed CS5 on it. Everything seems to be fine, but using my wacom intuos 3 tablet i found that when making curved brush strokes every so often it came out as a straight line, the straight line being where i start and finish the curve (see pic below. The S stroke is what should happen. The straight line is what happens every so often with the same motion).
At first i thought it was the tablet and reinstalled the drivers to no effect. Since then i've discovered that the same thing occurs with the mouse. The problem occurs once every five or so strokes (i'm doing digital art, so there's a lot of strokes). It never happens if i do a stroke slowly, but will almost always happen if i do a fast stroke.
Testing other painting programs i've found them all to be fine (i grabbed trials of open Canvas, Sai and Gimp and had no such issues). However, getting out my old copy of CS2, i found it had the same problem. The problem does appear to be Photoshop + my computer based. I've since reinstalled them both but had no success there either. (My computer is a intel i3 btw with 8gb of ram, so i wouldn't believe it to be a performance issue)
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.
I am trying to modify a brush to draw fine dotted lines. Even with the hardness cranked all the way to 100%, the edges are still soft and anti-aliased. Is there a way to completely turn off anti-alias for brush?

I've used Paint Shop Pro to create that type of shape using its vector features.
I am trying to separate the foreground and background of an image as i want to blur the background.
I have tried a couple of methods of selection and then layer by cut command.
I have tried with feathering and without but i get a line around what i have cut out.
When I select the rectangular marquee tool, I am unable to check the anti alias box. It is unavailable to me or "greyed out". My text is quite jagged, and I am thinking it is because of the unavailibility of the anti alias effect.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI sucessfully (apparently) downloaded Elements 11 and Elements Premier from a purchased disc. BUT, in my apllications folder, within the Elements 11 folder, I have an Elements 11 ALIAS (which does not open) and a folder named 'Support Files' in which is Elements Editor which does open. What do you think happened to the apllication for Elements 11?
In the Premier 11 applications folder, there is a Premier ALIAS. Then in the 'Support Folder' there is a Premier application (which opens) and another Premier Alias.
So, what are these Alias' about?
Is Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor the name of the application for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11?
And are the support folders the right location for these apllications? My other Adobe applications are within the folder of the same name.
I am trying to make a 3D globe, but using CS6 (i have designed in 3D in CS5 before but want to familiarize myself with the process for CS6).

I'm copying some vector art from Illustrator and pasting into Photoshop - for some reason it isn't anti-aliasing it. Even when I select Smart Object and rasterize, it's jaggy.
I've also tried saving as an EPS and importing into Photoshop - same behaviour. I can "open" the file, but that flattens it.
What makes it stranger, is I have another machine with CS3 and it imports correctly, so I'm guessing there's a preference somewhere...

I'm designing some full color business cards entirely in photoshop 7 and I have a couple questions:
1) Is it true that one should turn off Anti-Alias when creating text for printing? I know it looks jaggy on the screen but I heard it is suppose to be better for printing.
2) Should I set the text layer to "Multiply" not "normal"?
concerning anti-aliasing a graphic. Im currently using Photoshop CS2 running on Windows XP.
I have a graphic that I want to use with backgrounds of different solid colors and even the occasional multi-colored background. I want to smooth out the jaggies of the graphic in such a way that the smoothed graphic can be placed on a separate layer and the desired background can be inserted on a layer below.
I can successfully import an anti-aliased graphic IF I import the graphic and its background at the same time. But then the anti-aliased graphic is suitable for use only with that particular color background. I would like to eliminate this extra step if possible.
Suppose the graphic were black on a white background. The anti-alias pixels might be 75% gray, 50% gray, and 25% gray. Conceptually, it doesnt seem like it should be all that difficult for the anti-alias pixels to be black at 75% transparency, black at 50% transparency, and black at 25% transparency. Then, in theory, wouldnt this type of transparency anti-aliasing work for any color background placed underneath it? Is this possible in Photoshop CS2? If not, is it possible in a later version (might be a good reason to upgrade)?
I have a 72 dpi smart object with text & images inside another 72 dpi SO and need to transform it (distort and/or perspective). Once I do so the anti-aliasing becomes very poor thus making the SO's text almost illegible. Is there a way to improve this? Maybe change the way the SO is being anti-aliased?

Sometimes when saving files to our primary share (an SMB share on an EMC Celerra) the files are having their alias and invisible bits (for Finder) set.
Not the flags (chflags), the bits (can be changed using SetFile in Mac Dev Tools).
So these files are showing up as hidden aliases. Seems to be no problem saving locally.
I'm trying to create a new design based on a grid, so I need pixel-exact text layers. For this I always use "None" as anti alias method. This is pixel-exact, but it's absolutely not beautiful. So from time to time I'd like to check how the full impression of the layout is on a modern browser that support anti aliasing. Sadly it's quite a pain to do and then again undo it for every text layer separately, so maybe there's a way to speed things up? :-)

For larger areas I am drawing the outline and then filling the shape with the paint bucket. The problem is that the fill doesn't go all the way to the edge of the outline.

(You may actually have to Say I have a black-and white lineart on the background layer, such as this.
I double-click on the background layer to make it edit-able.
I click on the Color Fill button, choose solid color, then pick any color (say we use bright red). I go back to the lineart, move the Color Fill layer to underneath the lineart layer, and fill the Color Fill with black. Normally, it would just create white, however for me it has pink/light red. The same thing also happens for patterns and gradients; it leaves a very faded version of the color on the picture.
I didn't change any options or settings, however my little brother was playing around with Photoshop, and he may have changed something. Can anyone tell me how to get it so that there is no pink or faded color there?

There are many parts to this design, and I'd rather have them as separate parts. However what I have now is one part with many surfaces (which I can turn on or off). Any tips for bringing it in differently? Maybe I can derive some parts out from my existing part which has about 20 surfaces (which should be parts)?
