i have an image, roughly human shaped, rendered in hundreds of tiny circles. how can i make a separate outline of the whole image, so that i can then fill it with white? i want to be able to put the original image on a black BG but have the empty space between the circles show up as white.
I am just starting to learn Illustrator and am having an issue with filling an object. I am creating a box and when I fill that box the top acts as if there is a straight path even though there isn't. Also the right side of the box cuts only fills diagonally.One with the paths, two with the incomplete fill.
We have a drawing and when in Model space you can see different layers that are different colors but when open paper space everything is white? Setting to change this so that everything is by layer in paper space?
I am trying to fill the blank space (center) in this header with the existing background, how do i go about copying and pasting the red area into the blank area.
When I am trying to cut sometghing out, a box appears with no fill in it that erases everything inside of it. I'm just trying to use the quick selection tool.
I don't know what happened, but I was making something in photoshop, and all of a sudden, it has all of this white around it. It won't let me crop it, either. . .how do I get rid of it?
am using Photoshop CS, whereas I previously I used Photoshop 7
I've hit a silly problem using CS, for which there is probably a very simple solution...
Whenever I select an area and fill it with white, the white remains transparent and doesn't show at all. If I fill using any other colour, the colour fills in and shows fine. All settings such as paintbucket opacity, layer opacity etc are at 100%, unless the previous person changed something somewhere and it's not apparent,
For my job here I have a contoured map of a sand structure. I have converted that entire 2D map into a 3D map. Showing the elevation of the contours relative to the surface. I need to know how you can hatch or fill in with color the 3d polygons that are shaping the subsurface. When i try to hatch it, it works but it just pastes it at the surface at Z:0 and even if i bring that hatch down it won't form to the multidimensional polygon that i am trying to cover. Here is a pic of what I am trying to do.
The green / blue is the fault plane i have been able to plot as well as shade in using 3D Face, but the problem I run into for the RED contour lines is that they are arcs and when i use 3D Face it doesn't allow it to bend to conform with the arc shape.
I am working on a project and figuring out a way to fill a concave space I have with a seperate solid that takes up the exact amount of space. I would like for this new solid to be its own part. I will post a picture so you can understand what I am reffering to. As you can see, there is a concave space in the middle of the design; what I am looking to do is fill this area with a type of foam, so I need to model something that fills all the spaces up to the top plane.
I have tried using the thicken/offset tool but it gives me errors on vertexs and such and I have tried many different selection variants. I did get the space to fill in but then ran into the problem of it being all one solid, not something I could take out and make a different part, which is what I am looking to do.
My adjustment layers are set to come in with a white layer mask. But sometimes I want to fill that mask w. black after the adjustment and selectively brush-in the adjustment.
Is there a shortcut to quickly fill the mask w. black, w/o checking foreground/background colors; or choosing certain tools to be active; or Edit>Fill>Black, etc.? If not, how can I set my own keyboard shortcut? I don't see a Fill Black in the keyboard shortcut editing list.
I'm in hopes there is a technique whereas I can paint within the black areas to remove the white spec without worrying about going over the edge, as I would with a black paint brush. I tried different brush blending modes (screen,overlay,multiply) didn't do the trick.
How can i remove the white space from this JPEG image (attached to this post) so that I can overlap it with another image without the white space showing?
The image is actually saved as a rectangle with the white space on the top right hand corner, where it curves.
I just upgraded to CS Cloud. When I open images in Photoshop the canvas appears to be very large. So I tried cropping the image. When I go to the Image Size or Canvas Size the right size appears. However, on screen there is all of this white space that shows up.
So I am trying to use "fill hole" for this empty space on my mesh but it isn't working. I know I can figure out another solution to this problem but I want to know why it won't work.
First of all, when I double click the edge around the hole it doesn't just select the hole, it selects a huge ring that goes around the whole head for some reason (I'm attaching a picture).
Then when I select the edges around the hole one by one and select "fill hole" nothing happens and I get a message at the bottom of the screen that says "polycloseborder2" (I am also including a pic of this).
In Coreldraw 12, I often use combine to end up with a one solid shape with many holes in it. Often I want to add a color inside one of the holes, much like a coloring book, but there is no shape there, it is just empty. What is the quickest way to create a solid that fills that hole exactly?
Let's say I have a square with a gradient fill of 30% gray to white. I have a background that I have imported to make the paper look old and weathered. If I place this background behind the gradient filled square, the square looks grayish and will print this way. Instead what I want is for the gradient filled square to show the color of the background rather than gray.
If I print the old and weathered background first and then run the paper through the printer again with the gradient filled square, it has the effect I want. Is there a way to do get this effect without having to print the background first and then print it again?
My question concenrs this photo: [URL] ... (this is my own photo by the way). Just so you know what I mean with 'sky' later on: you're looking at balconies.
I want to extend it on the left so I can make it a desktop wallpaper. However, the original photo does not extend far enough to allow me to just crop differently. How can I, using GIMP, fill up the new space so that it looks like the sky that's already there?
a)) I have a simple drawing attached with color outlines.How do i fill in the shapes with color.The blue outline filled in Blue and the red outline filled in Red
b)) How do i set the drawing space so as it fits to a A4 size paper?
I seem to be having a problem to where there is white space between objects and no matter how many times I intersect paths I still have white-space between objects. Obviously if you are making some sort of illustration, even a pixel worth of white space could prove to be problematic. we are seeing white space between the blue and purple objects.
When I open the map module, I don't see a map. The area where the map should be shown is just white. I reinstalled ALR but that did not work. MacOS 10.8.2 ALR 4.3
So basically i have designed the top of a paper plane and have completed the top design which i now want to clip into the template using the clipping mask tool. I have used it exactly how it is supposed to'
1. firstly getting my shape that i want to use to clip exactly how i want it
2. then getting my image which i want to place under my first shape to use the clipping mask with
3. align it in place and bring my "shape" to the front and image to the back then using the selection tool i select all objects then click objects> clipping mask> make
and for some reason it clips it but the image that i wastring to clip just becomes a white fill...
I quit a file opened up a new one and the model space is white. I looked under my preferences to see if the background got changed to white but it is still set on slate. I cannot see anything. When I go to open the file the small preview shows it correctly on a slate background, but then when I open it, I cannot see it. It is all white. I tried shutting down, restart and opening other files.
I'm an amatuer geek trying to do geeking things, like create my own cover design using Paint.net to upload for CreateSpace POD.
I downloaded my correct size template from CreateSpace, opened it with Paint.net, trimmed the excess white (I was told it was okay to do this) and started a bit of the design. Before getting too far in, I decided to take a look at the dimensions on the finished PDF.
I downloaded PrimoPDF and clicked print. With the "fit picture to frame" box checked, the right and left edges are cut off. When I uncheck the box, I get white space at the top and bottom. I'm afraid with the white space at the time and bottom, that will translate to the print book cover.
How to format a cover for CreateSpace using Paint.net and Primo?
I'm creating some geometric images in Illustrator for an animation in After Effects. I have four triangles that are all aligned to make a square. However, there are small white spaces between each of the triangles, so when viewed at actual size, there's a white X through the centre of the square.
How can I align the triangles exactly so there is no white space in between?
