Photoshop :: Stroke Effect Transparency - Non-additive

Feb 19, 2012

I am building a specialized map for my local area with territory borders that need to have 8-pt strokes around them. Because each territory needs to live on it's own layer (to be printed seprately after the overview map is done) I found the easiest method to be selecting each territory with the polygonal lasso tool and then make a new Layer via copy and then gve the top layer the stroke effect I need. I worked fine when the strokes were at 100% opacity, but I later decided that each stroke should only be at about 60% opacity so that you can see the roads, rr track and other details beneath. In this case, the problem arises when territory boundaries overlap (as pictured below) because the stroke transparency of becomes additive where the 2 strokes overlap.

what setting I may use to make these strokes so that they can overlap and appear with absolute 60%transparency?

Photoshop :: Text With "stroke" Effect And Transparency Surrounding

Dec 18, 2007

I am trying to do something simple which is not working out right. My photoshop skills are limited.

On a blank background, I create a text layer. Then I add the "stroke" effect which creates an outline around my text. Next I want to select everything else that is NOT my text and assign it to an alpha channel to make it transparent. The way I normally know to do this it to alt-click on the text layer. However, for some reason the border of this selection is around the actual text, and not the stroke effect extending past the text. Does this make any sense? Is there any way I can do what I'm trying to do: have everything BUT the text AND stroke effect be on an alpha channel? I also tried selecting by color range... I tried to select only the background which was white, having my text and stroke over text distinctly different colors. But even this way, there are some white pixels left over which are not selected, and the end result is not what I'm looking for.

Photoshop :: Stroke Width Vs. Transparency?

Jul 19, 2007

when I used to paint with Photoshop 7 and a mouse, I had it set up so that my brush strokes would fade gradually as I dragged the brush across the piece, like a real paintbrush running dry with each stroke.

Ever since I upgraded to Photoshop CS and a Wacom Graphire tablet, I can't figure out how to set my brush tool up like I used to have it (I prefer it for speed painting). Currently, my brush strokes vary in width based on the amount of pressure I apply. :B

how to adjust my settings so that the level of pressure on the tablet determines the stroke's transparency as well? Or at least point me to the right thread?

Illustrator :: Brush Stroke Transparency

Sep 4, 2013

I am using Illustrator CS5 to build a logo that uses brush strokes. The strokes are translucent but I want them to be opaque. The setting for the stroke is 100% opaque. I can't find a way to change this. It seems like a glitch. I've used brush strokes many times before, but have never had this problem.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Apply Transparency To A Stroke Made By Artistic Media?

Jun 6, 2011

Can you apply tranparency to a stroke made by artistic media? his seems like it should be possible... I've been told to use the transparency tool for my type of transparency needs... but I can't find a way to get this to work.  It would be handy... in PS, you just adjust the transparency slider for the object or layer.  In Draw, how is this done specifically for an artistic media brush stroke?

Photoshop :: How To Merge Images Transparently (additive)?

May 21, 2006

I would like to ask about adding one image to another such that
both images show together.

I don't know the jargon for that type of thing.

I had an older program named "PhotoSuite" v 3.5 (outdated now) that would
paste images on top of another image allowing both to add together.

I think they called it 'Transparent paste'.

Can I do that in PhotoShop?

I have a registered copy of PhotoShop 5.0 Lite.

Photoshop :: How To Remove Anti Aliasing Of Layerstyle Stroke Effect

Jan 15, 2013

I am using Photoshop cs5 win version.

I often use Layer style - Stroke Effect, to get strokes, but If I apply the effect to a layer, the stroke is always feathered, antialiased. Do you know how to remove those antialiased, semi-transparent pixels?

I need all pixels to be 100% opacity, because it's much easier to edit, easier to select. I always use Threshold adjustment layer with white solid layer to get crisp, aliased stroke pixels, but It's a little bit time consuming, so If you know the faster, much efficient way

Paint.NET :: Painting On Layer In Additive Way

Jan 22, 2014

I want to paint on a layer in an additive way. i.e. I set a color like (10,0,0) and if I hold down or repaint an area, it gets brighter and brighter. I want to create a texture map for a 3D model, which encodes how thick the material is based on the red channel.
 
But I can't seem to get this to work. I tried using (255,0,0,10) i.e. red with very low alpha and that sort of works, in that it looks right on screen, but it's not outputting as I expect/desire when I save to a flat file like PNG/JPG.

Illustrator :: Rounded Rectangle - Glossy Effect On Stroke

Jun 25, 2013

Need to make border glossy like below image

In order to do that, I've expanded this shape and created a ellipse with no stroke above button, with transparency/screen. This is what I got:

Now I need to get rid of the rest of ellipse, so the button will be transparent on upper boundaries. Inner part of button should be white, but whatever I put between button and ellipse should receive glossy effect. How to do that?

Illustrator :: 3D Effect With Overlapping Line With Fill And Stroke?

Feb 16, 2014

How can I draw a continuous stroked line with a fill, so that it overlaps and covers the previously drawn part of the line? I'm trying to draw some text so that it has an effect like in fig. 2 of the attached picture, not fig. 1. Is it possible to make somehow? For a simple image like this I could of course manually remove the few lines, but for a more complex text it's not possible, and I can't seem to find a solution myself.

GIMP :: Get Clear Transparency Effect - Frosted Glass

Jun 29, 2012

I am trying to create an image of "Frosted Glass" I want to be able to save this and later import it to put on top of other backgrounds and layers so that you would see the back layer as looking through frosted glass.

I am new to gimp but have been looking around at different walkthroughs. I must be missing somthing though because I am not getting what I would expect.

How I am trying to do this is I created 3 layers a light blue, white and alpha channel(transparency layer).

I adjusted the opacity down of the white and blue layers and then merged all 3 and again tried to adjust the opacity to acheive the effect. However I am a million miles off the mark.

Maya Animation :: Additive Layer Animation For Rapid Prototyping

Dec 11, 2010

I have an assignment for a class where part of the final project is detailing the construction of a mold for a part. The animation that I would like to do would show the build up of the part in a 3D printer layer by layer. The closest method of animating this that I can think of is unfortunately backwards.

As I would have the part and a camera facing up from the bottom of the part and would have a plane that would recede upwards in the y direction. This would reveal the part as the plane translates in the y direction.

This might be okay, but the problem is that I would like to show this from a camera on top facing down instead of a camera on bottom facing up. How I can create the look of a part being built up in this additive method?

Illustrator :: Maintaining Stroke Weight When Changing Path To Brush Stroke?

Sep 12, 2013

Is there a way or an option I am missing to convert my regular paths to a path stroked with a brush profile,while maintining the proper stroke width?
 
For instance, I have a regular line with a stroke of 5 and then add a brush profile, which then converts the original stroke to whatever the brush was made at.

Photoshop :: Transparency To Not Transparency In Photo

Sep 10, 2006

I have two pictures.

I would like the two pictures to blend in the middle from left to right.
The picture on the left will be sharpe on the left side but fade/transparent by the time it reaches the middle.
The picture on the right will be sharpe on the right side but fade/transparent in the middle.

I would think I need a gradient transparency (you always have to use a color)

I see pictures like this all the time, but can not seem to find the correct feature or combinations of features.

Illustrator :: How To Stroke Behind Other Stroke But In Front Of Fill

Jan 4, 2013

I have a shape with a black stroke and green fill.  I have a white line segment over it.  How do I get it so that the end of the line segment doesn't show over the black stroke of the object?  If I try to put the line segment behind the object, then the object fill hides it completely.
 
I'm new to illustrator and I've tried to search for an answer but I don't know the best way to accomplish what I want to do.  Seems like some combination of transparency or knockout groups and I've read a bit about this and can't figure out what I need to do.

Illustrator Scripting :: Apply Current Fill Color To Stroke Then Adjust That Stroke Color's Build?

Apr 9, 2013

I'm trying to figure out a way to automate a simple, yet repetative process I do countless times a day. Ideally, I'd like to tie it to a keystroke to speed up my workflow.
 
I work on line art and colorways for footwear, so the way I'm coloring these shapes and strokes break apart the different materials and pieces of the shoe.
 
While coloring line art, I work with Pantone spot colors as fills for closed path objects. I then have to manually apply that same color to the stroke, set the stroke to 0.5px weight, convert that spot stroke color to CMYK, and add 15% to the K value.
 
I found some code in an older post for applying the actively selected object's fill color to the stroke, but I'm having but I'm having trouble with the next step of figuring out how to take that spot stroke color and convert it to a CMYK build that I can then add 15% black to. Is this something that's even possible? I've spent about an hour playing with the script and have only had luck matching the fill color or turning the stroke white.

Illustrator :: High Raster Effect Resolution In Large Document Makes Effect Disappear

Feb 18, 2013

I'm making some graphics to be printed on a car. I have some lines with outer glow on them, but Illustrator won't render these unless I use 72DPI in raster effects reslution. I would like to go higher, but it won't give me anything. Guessing it's to heavy for Illustrator maybe? Is there anything I can do about this? I'm making my graphics in 1:1 scale, but I do it in a lower scale since it's just vector art anyway, however how would that effect my glow? Since it's a raster effect.
