View 1 RepliesHow can I reduce the size of the Pencil tool to as little as 1 or 2 pixels? I want to draw fairly fine shadows, and have figured out that creating shadows requires smudging or blurring gradients of black-to-grey, but the default options in the Brushes toolbox are far, far too large.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to draw a thin white line across an image, infact several lines in different places. The lines need to be permanent. I want to key in the number of pixels for the the thickness of the line and if possible key in the position of the line. I know I can use a new grid line to position a grid line, but how do I then turn that grid line into a permanent line where I can decide the width and colour? I'm trying to refrain from the long way round of zooming up to 1600% and physically using the rectangular marquee tool then filling the rectangal with colour.

View 7 Replies View RelatedOn a new transparent layer, I have drawn a straight line with the pencil tool. I select the Box Selection tool to select the whole line that I just drawn. I switch to the Move tool and made sure to move just the selection.
At this point, I would think that I would be able to move the line but only the box that is shown by the Box Selection tool moves. The line doesn't move at all. However, when I tell the Move tool to move the selected layer, the whole canvas moves, including the line. Why can't I just select just the line and move it?
I only have one layer in the document - it is not locked. I have already tried locking it, unlocking it, creating new layers, locking/unlocking those.I am not able to access Object>Unlock All.
Â
I have done Hide All Layers/Show All Layers - so there is nothing hidden..I have even opened a previous project, and it has the same symbol on it and none of these methods of correcting it works either. It printed fine on Friday.
Â
When I create an entirely new document, the icon is still there.
In Illustrator CS6, I would like to draw these trails for a map I'm making. Is there a way I can draw using the "Pencil" tool where when I draw, it draws a second line next to it? Is there a setting for that?
Â
Here is an old map where you can see the double broken lines. I know how to set it so the line has gaps in it, but I need a line to be the same next to it.
Ok Photoshop tribe i need to put a line through another line stroked at about 4 pixels each line, the problem i am having is i need each line to be of a differing colour and slightly more translucent than the other.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to sweep a line of pixels around an axis point in Photoshop (or Illustrator) to create a circle or multiple circles from the line of pixels. I have to use the line of pixels as it is a slice of an original image to capture a color swatch. I have not used Photoshop in close to 10 years and I cannot for the life of me figure out how I used to do it or if I did for that matter? I thought I used to, whilst I had the line of Pixels selected use the Transform>Rotate option then Adjust the pivot point.
Then I manually rotated it once whilst copying (Which I can no longer work out how to do) and just continue with cmd D or whatever the "do again" shortcut was?
i have drawn some things in pencil,scanned into p-shop and i need 2 colour them but then have the same pencil detail go over the colours.the lines r not strong enough to stand out though.i tried coloring over the pencil layer in black(as pencil is gray) but this has made no difference.is there a way round this other than going over my 100 drawings in black pen?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI create a new layer and fill it with black. Then I make a new layer and make a marquee selection. Within the marquee selection, I fill the new layer with a color to transparent gradient fill. I then take the new gradient layer and warp it using the "FLAG" preset.
I adjust the bend to 20% and commit the warp/transformation. I get the curve I want, but right in the middle of the curve, running straight up the layer, is a solid line of pixels. It's almost as if, that one little line missed out on both the gradient itself as well as the warp effect.
you can see what i mean in the following picture examples.

No matter what 1 single pixel brush i use this will happen... no matter which computer i use cs6 on and different copies of the installation.  Anyway have any insight into this? frankly... it's somewhat limiting that i can't use the brush for stroking a shape if i need a pixel line and yet soft curves that a pencil won't get you.Â
Is there a way to make it so when you're drawing a line you can see how it actually will look like?
On paint it shows exactly how the line looks as ur drawing it,
but on Photoshop it shows some rectangle outline of the line.
If I am constantly making frames in photoshop for use in the video world (ie. They will be on TV) the pixels need to be rectangular (or 4x3) in aspect and not square.
I know in programs like After Effects and Combustion you can set when saving an image whether or not it is square or rectangular pixels.
How do I do this in Photoshop if it can be done?
2 days on GIMP. I need to adjust the clone tool so it's 1080 pixels vertical and about 20 pixels wide. I googled and searched, but I can't seem to find the right phrasing.
View 19 Replies View RelatedI have several layers in an image, and I need to align them precisely. The ordinary layer shift ("move pixels") by multiples of pixels is not sufficient. Is there a tool or plugin for PDN that allows sub-pixel shifts (i.e. moves by fractions of pixel)? And rotations by very small angles?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWorking in PS CS6. I want to use the pencil tool at 1px, and I've changed my settings accordingly (even typed it in to be sure) but the minumum size it will actually go is 3px.
Â
To be clear, the size is set to 1px, but when you zoom all the way in so that the individual pixels are visible, the pencil is a 3px x 3px square and will not go smaller.
Â
The brush tool does not behave this way, and I would use it instead but for this project I need the square precision of the pencil. I'm working in a 72dpi RGB document. I do not have this issue in CS5.
To turn photo To Pencil Draw we do this steps ..
Ctrl+Shift+U
Ctrl+j
Ctrl+i
M
Alt+Shift+D
Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur> 3
Ctrl+E..
But my question is why we click litter " M " ?
And other steps ...
Would you like to draw a pencil sketch? You are not good at drawing? Well, it doesn’t matter,
Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop, Choose Image->Adjustment->Desaturate (or Ctrl+Shift+U by default) to make the photo to black-and-white.
Step 2: Click Layer-> Duplicate Layer, duplicate the background as background copy.
Step 3: Use Image->Adjustment->Invert (or Ctrl+I by default), then the image will look like a negative.
Step 4: From the layer palette, set the blending options as Color Dodge.
Step 5: Choose Filter->Blur->Guassian Blur, set the radius 4 pixels.
Step 6: Don’t forget to merge the layer at last. So, everything is done!
I am painting various pixels with transparency, and I don't like that pixels previously painted become more opaque when I paint over them. I would like the opacity information to remain the same, regardless of how often I paint over an already-painted pixel.
For example, suppose I paint the color (100,100,100) on a pixel with 60% opacity. If I paint over this pixel again, it should still have 60% opacity. I don't want it "stacking".
Also, just as an off topic question, is there any reason why so many people use photoshop over paint shop? I see them both as very identical and I'm having difficulty finding differences. Paint Shop Pro X is very nice, I think CS2 and PSPX are all the same.
My pencil tool has randomly stopped working, everything else in that pallet works fine. But when I select pencil and try to draw or change stroke size it has no reacion. I did try uninstall and reinstall but no good?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI´ve been making pixel art for a while now and recently I upgraded to cs6. all was fine till I tried to stroke a circular path with the pencil tool. The Circles it makes are completely uneven.
Â
These are the paths i traced in different sizes
Â
this is the stroked path with a 1 x 1 pixel pencilÂ
as you can see the the bottom and right part of the circles is different from the top left. it is more noticeable on smaller circles.it also happens with bigger stroke sizes.this diddn´t happen in cs5.
My brush/pencil tool isn't working in Photoshop CS5...when I try and use it it just makes a dot and doesn't allow me to draw a continuous line...
View 5 Replies View RelatedSince changing from my 3 month trial with CS6 the other day my dry media and pencil brushes have lost some of their texture and look over saturated. As I'm trying to do pencil roughs via photoshop for a client I would like to resolve this ASAP.
Is there anything I can do to get the detail in the brush strokes back?
How do I control being able to see the pixel size of the pencil tool so its not just a small x but I can actually see the size of the area I am going to draw with?
