Illustrator :: Create Transparent Stroke Above Other Shapes?

Aug 14, 2012

What I'm trying to do is give the blue box a transparent stroke that will "cut through" the red boxes and show the background underneath, whatever that may be ...white, another color, or a photo.
 
I can easily achieve this when I give it a white stroke. It'll look like this:
  
When I change to a background color other than white or even a photo however, I end up with this problem:
 
How do I make it so that I have a transparent border (not white) around the blue box? Which effectively cuts a "transparent stroke" (space) between the parts where the blue and red boxes intersect?

Xara :: Slicing Shapes Leaves Transparent Lines

Apr 11, 2013

I've got a problem with the combine shapes > slice (cut) shapes. (Designer Pro X).

I often use this tool to cut a graphic to make a repeating object, so I don't want it to have any boarder, just solid color. But for some reason when I cut the shape xara puts a little (approx 1 pixel) transparent line where the shape has been cut. This is often added to exported to the edges of pngs and svgs and looks a bit like anti-aliasing of some sort but I don't want this, just a solid object.

How to avoid this? See my attachment for an example png that I created by simply slicing one rectangle from another, I want to be able to do this without the extra line appearing - ie just solid black.

Illustrator :: Unwanted Transparent Shapes After Expanding Trace Using Pathfinder

Jan 29, 2014

In illustrator, I have placed an image that I created in photoshop.  Once I trace and expand it, with the option to ignore white selected, there are still transparent shapes that I have to manually delete.  For what I am doing now, it is way too tedious to have to do that.  Why, if I'm 'ignoring white' so that I simply get a black/transparent vector image, are these transparent shapes showing up?

Xara :: File Exported To PDF But Transparent Gradients Showed As Solid Shapes

Sep 18, 2013

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.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Creating Shapes Through Inverting Other Shapes

Nov 18, 2013

I drew something up on a sheet of paper, scanned it, then traced it's bitmap as line art. I then proceded to edit the vectors to recover all the detail I lost with the tracing. It took forever!

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.

I am working on a Mac (Snow Leapord) with Photoshop CS6. When I try to save a sliced and transparent PSD in the Save For Web dialog box with PNG-24, the transparency dissapears once exported. I have the transparency and interlaced boxes both checked.  The images appear transparent in the Optimized Save for Web dialog box, but the transparency dissapears once exported out of Photoshop.
 
I never had a problem with this when I was using CS4...

Photoshop :: Transparent Gradient Is Not So Transparent

Jan 30, 2013

Hey, I'm having troubles with applying a gradient tool to a rectangular marquee in Photoshop CS3 for Mac OS X 5.8.  Instead of getting a black color to fade into the background, I just get the black color. 

And I'm click and dragging about 1.5 inches long.  Sometimes I end up covering the entire picture with that color, not just the object (even though the object is selected).  Gradient maps and layer masks don't seem to work.

Revit :: Transparent Filled Region Not Showing Up Transparent?

Nov 24, 2008

I have a solid gray filled region that is set to be transparent that is not being transparent. We are trying to put a gray tone over the existing area of the plan. what is weird is that I did the exact same thing to another view & it works perfectly with the region in the background & all the wals & doors showing up correctly. I can't figure out what is different between one view & another.

I've tried changing the filled region to be "moved to back" but nothing changes. if I override the graphics of the element & change it to be transparent the it goes away all together.

Xara :: Transparent Object With Non-transparent Lines?

Feb 17, 2014

I'm sure there's a way to do this but for the life of me I can't remember and can't find it when I do a search. I have an object that is comprised of several lines that are grouped together, and I want to fill the entire group with a fractal cloud 3-color fill. In order to do so, I am creating the fill as a background, and making the object transparent, but when I do that, all my lines disappear (of course!) but I need the lines in it for details. Basically I want to layer this object

Paint.NET :: Transparent Grid Or Transparent Hexes

Nov 1, 2012

I tried searching the forums for "Transparent Grid" and "Transparent Hex", but I could not find anything.I would like to create an image which is a Transparent Grid or Hex which I could lay over other images, like maps for roleplaying games.

I tried to use the eraser tool to remove all the white space from the image "TransparentHexes.png" (see attached). It was long and labor intensive, but when I tried to copy the image and lay it over another image, it removed the transparent parts and made them white space again, completely covering the underlaying image.

Perhaps there is a way to use the "Paint Bucket" to replace white with transparent? And how do I lay a mostly transparent grid over another image?

Photoshop :: How To Turn 2 Shapes Into 1

Sep 2, 2012

I would like to take 2 Rounded Rectangle shapes that I have rotated by 45 degrees and make them one shape so that the Paths of each rectangle become one. I've looked up Paths, Shapes and other things in the manual but I've been unable to narrow down the right keywords to find what I'm looking for.
 
I have used the Pen Tool but I'm not satisfied with the outcome of the Rounded Corners. I know I can use Combine Shapes but not when I first need to Rotate the shape. 

Pretty sure I've done this before but for the life of me I cannot recall how nor can I find it in my notes. Here's a pic of what I want to change into one shape with one continuous path.

Photoshop :: Combining 2 Shapes In CS6

Aug 14, 2012

I have a shape, it has no fill, so it's just an outline, let's say it's an outline of a leg.
 
Now what I want to do is draw another outline inside that leg outline, but I don't want 2 end up with 2 separate shapes (2 layers), I want to draw the 2nd outline directly into the first one, so it's all one big vector shape.
 
For some reason this seems impossible to do in Photoshop CS6. If I select combine shapes, from the menu, free form pen tool and then draw the 2nd outline into the 1st outline, when I stop drawing I don't end up with one outline combined (on top of) the first, instead it just seems to do some weird clipping and I end up with the first outline shrinking, and the outline I just drew appearing not as an outline but as a path.
 
This is something that works perfectly in Flash pro, you draw a shape, you draw another one on top and you then have both perfectly combined, no fuss no bother. You can even vary the stroke strength at any point along the line in Flash, I'm not sure this is even possible in Photoshop.

what's going wrong in photoshop or how to do that in photoshop?

I have designed a logo in Photoshop CS6 using both the text and shape tools. I have converted the text layers to shapes. When I try to save logo using "Define Custom Shape", it only save the outer circle and not the whole shape(s) even with everything is selected using the Selection Tools. This occurs if I have selected multiple layers, or have mereged layers to one layer.

Here is my shape:-
