I'm switching over to Illustrator CS2 from Photoshop CS2 and I'm having these noob problems:
- What happened to the History Actions pallete? That was very useful in PS.
When using the Pen Tool:
- How do I easily choose many anchor points at once? The lasso tool also selects everything behind it.
- How do I move an already-placed anchor point? It was Ctrl-Drag on PS.
The kind of photo retouching Im talking about is say taking a picture of a person and retouching it to look like they are a model and their picture is ready to be placed in a magazine.. make things look alot better. I know im not being very specific.. thats because I know hardly nothing about how to do it and I was wondering if anyone had any links they could post up for me or maybe even some really good tips...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop 6.0 on my computer, and just bought a 700+ pg. 6.0 book from ebay, which I hope to absorb.
A library of 12 VHS 6.0 tapes sold for more than I could see paying. Since I have 6.0, would having CDs of 7.0 be too confusing, or would it be smart? I hope to upgrade to whatever the latest version is if I can absorb this stuff!
Might anyone have some complete learning CDs that has been burned into their brains, for sale cheap?
When I go into Full Editor I have The Learning Center on the left and to the right of that I have the Tools Toolbar.
My problem is that these overlay the photo I am trying to work on. I do not think this happened before. I am sure I did something to cause this but I do not have a clue what that would have been.
It seems to me that the workspace for the photo was to the right of whatever was on the right.
I am rather new to AutoCAD 2010, and have observed issues with Annotative Scale. I have tried to avoid that function like the plague, but now I have some time to learn of it and its power.
I've been tasked with creating/updating Electrical Department symbol blocks. Right now, I am working on lighting fixture blocks, and I have this particularly odd scenario when i'm making the Block Attributes. My new block is for a 2 foot by 4' lighting fixture. When this block is to be inserted in Model Space, the size will always remain constant (2'x4'), but I need the Attributes (one for the Fixture Type, and one to denote the Circuit Number and Switch leg) to change sizes per the plan scale on Paper Space.
How, and in which space, should I construct my light fixture block & attributes? And, which parts of the block or attributes should be Annotative? Also, the light fixture can be either oriented vertically or horizontally. Will I still be able to relocate the attribute using -EATTEDIT or -ATTEDIT?
I would firstly like to apologise if this topic has been covered in depth but i am desperately looking for the right book/s as a Christmas present to ensure that my girlfriend learns Photoshop CS2 with ease. I have some experience in Photoshop and have been doing an IT degree here in New Zealand for the past 4 years but I’m not a designer so i really need your guys help!
I also appreciate that there are so many books out there but have found that some don’t go into enough depth or lack the variation in examples to significantly cover what photoshop has to offer. I was initially thinking that a couple of books might be necessary to take her from beginner to advanced.
I want to draw hyperbola curve whose equation is  x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2=1. May I use equation curve tool to make the above hyperbola.Â
I have also made a hyperbola curve of aforesaid equation through conventional method on mathematical ground in the past.
I have ran an analysis and SSA gave me Error 607  on the report. It says "Inlet A9 gutter capture curve is not a valid curve."
A couple things I did different from the video lectures...
IÂ selected user define for the Tc to figure out Q. i computed those manually.
For the Inlets I have selected Maximum Capture Cutoff.
There are some inlets in this model I created that do not capture 100% of the flow so i created conveyance links to account for the bypass flow.Not sure why is not recognizing the Curve?
Why in LR4 is the Tone Curve default set to Custom with a contrast lowering curve? I would like the default to be linear, but I can't remember how I set that up in LR3.

I've just emptied my bank account and bought CS4 (omg!) and I'm a completely new user to Photoshop (apart from using the trial versions) so I wondered if anyone had any advice on a book to buy to help me learn Photoshop?
I know there's tons of tutorials on the web but I really prefer a hard copy on my desk to refer to.
What books have you read on PS that you would recommend?
I'm designing a tattoo, and I've been driven to distraction trying to get a part of it right. Basically, it's in an elongated circular shape, to go over the top of the shoulder. It's a Tongan design, and part of it requires a line of diamond shapes following the curve of each side of the circle from top to bottom. At the moment, I'm just copying a diamond shape and putting it in, and then using Transform>Distort to wedge it in place. However, it's both slow and not too good. I then had what I thought was a brainwave - draw the parallel lines straight, add the diamonds, and then curve the whole thing into place. I've tried doing this using Transform>Warp, but the amount of swearing emanating from my office is annoying my girlfriend Has everyone got a better way of doing it? I'd really like to be able to almost draw it as a path, just putting anchors in, and then having the pattern follow the path.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been disappointed by the "enhancements" in the auto curve feature in CS6. While it supposedly simplifies adjustments wtih a single curve, I find it doesn't work as well as the functionality in CS5.
Â
In CS5, it would adjust each channel individually. While that made it difficult to edit, the quality of the color corrections especially was superior. It was great for establishing a baseline correction and then adding other minor adjustments, as needed.
Â
I have beautiful photos that I edited in CS5 using this feature. Now when I open them in CS6, the auto feature doesn't provide the same results with the same photos.
Â
Is there any way to get the same type of curv auto adjustments from CS5 in CS6?

how to curve text so that it looks like the one in the bottom of this picture?

i want to remake this image but i cannot figure out how to make the same curve of the words: MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.

i have tried creating a Path with half of a similar oval and then used the Type on a Path tool and i have tried using the Pen to draw a Path but it looks aweful and of course i hae tried the Warped Text tool but the only option for what i need is the Arc Lower which doesn't give the result i need no matter how i adjust the tool.

View 1 Replies View Relatedfor one particular design, I've been trying to make a curve like this as a background for some white text: but, as you can see, the end result (bottom curve only) is rather pixely, I know this is from the angle of the curved space being so close to flat that a lot of pixels are stretched out over the neighbouring ones. Is there a good technique that I can use to avoid the pixelish look?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to take a scanned rectangular image and make it into an arc, curving the bottom and top up. (I can create a path in the shape I want by simply creating a rectangle, creating a node in the middle of the bottom and top edges, and moving these nodes both up, but this doesn't get me anywhere). I can't figure out how to stretch the rectangular image into a specified shape to arc it.

i have a question concerning the stroking of paths.
I want to create a brush that is a line of e.g. 5 pixels in height, and 30 in lenght.
I want to draw a path and stroke it with my custom brush. However i want to have space between the brush strokes.
That is do-able with the spacing options in the photoshop 7 brush palette right ?
When i have the brush (like the url above) i would like the brush to follow the path i've drawn.
Is this possible ? for my brush to adapt itself to my curve?
ONce upon a time you could move your cursor over the image and it would show on the curves curve what that value was of the point your cursor was over.
Â
Hope that makes sense. This was very useful for deciding exactly where on the curve you needed to make adjustments to affect a particular tone.

Its gorrrn, like a caribu. OR can I just not find it?

Is this the same as the profile created by using a color checker card and a script?
If so, where is it stored so I can tell Merge to HDR where to find it?
Is it created by the calibrate DNG add on? I'm guessing I could plug script created numbers into it and have them saved.
If it is none of the above, how do you make one? Or is this above & beyond user ability, materials, electronics, etc.?
I'm making a stylized picture composed wholly of curved lines. I free-handed the curves with my pointer tablet, and then I've been going in with the paintbrush thickening the lines and smoothing edges and whatnot (my tablet makes exceedingly wiggly lines for some reason)... It takes FOREVER going in and trying to make a perfectly smooth line using a 3px brush... (The original image is 3000 x 3450. Great learning experience, but my eyes feel like they're about to fall out of my skull after tracing, re-tracing, and re-re-tracing a 30-pixel area for an hour, lol.) I'm convinced that with the amazing images that come out of Photoshop, they must have a tool that makes creating curves a simple, easy process.
