I create a path with a few anchor points, but when I try to stroke the path, it only strokes the anchor points, showing up as dots the size of my brush. How do I get it to stroke the length of the entire path?
View 9 RepliesI have an image open.
I choose the pen tool and then click a place on the image and then a second and a ‘line’ connects them. Two anchor points and a line between them.
I go to the Paths pallet and save this work so that the Paths layer says, “Path 1” and I've also tried doing it unsaved.
Then I try stroking it with the brush in any of the three ways you get to the stroke command i.e. right click, upper right arrow, etc.
The dialogue box comes up and I choose brush (having already chosen a 14 pix width and 100%) and it should stroke my line but all it strokes are the two (or more if I put them in) anchor points.
The funny thing is if I create my line with the pencil tool it will stroke it with no problem but not any line drawn with the pen tool.
I am simulating ropes so the pencil line is not smooth but all pixulated and I want to learn how to stroke with the pen tool.
I am using photoshop cs (really just learning), and when I try to stroke a path to make a border, all I get is my brushes stroke at the corners or sharper curves. Is this what is supposed to happen, am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to make a "border" around the entire path?

These are the paths i traced in different sizes

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.
I cant seem to get the tapered effect to occur when stroking a path. I strok the path after selecting the brush tool.
Choose Brush and make sure there is a tick next to Simulate Pressure. This is important as it will give your curve tapered ends which will make it rock!
I've created a curved path and am having probs creating an even line using the Stroke Path tool. For some reason, the line gest heavier in places and I just want an even smooth thin line. I've tried using the brush and the pencil tools... screengrabs below. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have experienced the following behavior:
Â
1. Adding Effects to a path applies the effect but the effect is not visible in the Appearance panel.
2. In conjunction with this, it appears that internal stroking of the object creates a weird offset. The stroking is visually incorrect. The stroke generally offset by -1 on each axis. If the object has had a rounding effect applied to it, some of the corners become mangled.
When i crop part of an image (in this case my web site) photoshop automaticaly strokes the inside of the crop!! When i then put the images into a table in html all the separate images have a box around them!

(Why does it need more than one?)
Eg - I've just made a curve with the pen tool, fine. I can select it, move it about, but I can't stroke it.
All the menu options are dimmed. By trying anything I might think is appropriate, I usually get there, but quite often either the whole layer boundary is stroked, or a V shaped path when stroked gives a triangle, or an S shaped curve has the ends connected as though by White, so there's a bit missing in the middle.
Often I retry something I believe ought to work, and hey presto it does - but it didn't the first time.
I've read and reread Classroom in a Box and the help files, but I'm missing something.
CS2, XP.
I made a vector shape of an arrow (see below) and then rasterized the layer.
Then I double-clicked the layer and gave the grey shape a 1px black stroke outline. Only after hitting OK, the 1px black stroke shows up as a thick, grey stroke.
I have Photoshop CS5. When stroking type, I can't get the edges/corners sharp (see attachment)- is there a way to do this? Possible in CS6? I believe possible in Illustrator, but cheaper and easier for me to do it in Photoshop if possible (I don't have any version of Illustrator), and I won't have to learn a new program.

I would like the letter to be totally filled with its solid color... but instead, it just seemed to outline the letter, leaving white space between the new GROW line and the actual letter.
how to end up with a "fatter" letter that's completely filled?
Probably a really simple fix to this, but I'm still new to Illustrator Â

This is the image that I need to be outlined, but only around the very outside border.
Applied a regular stroke:
Grouped it with another part that also needs outlining on just the outside edge, and tried using a method I saw on here: and the results:
I have created a video consisting a many photos with some video. Some photos, e.g. a horizontal close striped golf shirt, gives a flickering effect in the output video file.
I do have the anti-flickering filter checked. Ran a test with filter off, but this did not correct it. Offending photos are approx. 2.5 meg JPEGs.
I want to create a stroking light effect that reacts to the amplitude of a song... any easiest way to do this?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm trying about 8 hours to convert a Photoshop shape in to a working path in order to put a brush border around it. I don't understand why the "stroke path with brush" is grayed out and not usable directly on the shape path itself.

"Load path from selection" is not an option because it deforms my path.
I want to be able to transpose the perspective of the existing image to my new 3D prism shape.Why can't I create a path.. and then drag nodes on that path.. and warp the pixels at the same time???
It shouldn't apply to just 3d.. because I should be able to draw a rigid path around anything and warp / stretch the image from those points.
Having made a (ex circular) closed path within a (ex square) path, I want to turn this into a selection in which the inner circle is omitted from the selection. But when choosing "Make Selection", only the first option,"New Selection" is available, the other three are grey (Add to, Subtract from and Intersect).

This used to work in CS7,
I'm wasting time having to place my image in Illustrator then manually line up the clipping path. You used to be able to save a file with a clipping path as an EPS in photoshop, select "retain vector data", place in illustrator and hit cmd Y to see the clipping path. I need the image and the clipping path in Illustrator and the image is too complex to create a mask in Illustrator. I tried to save it as an EPS but "retain vector data" is grayed out.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to change an xref from saved "full path" to "relative path"?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have some negative space I created(black area, see first image) that I want to fill with type, not just a simple fill.
Â
Basically I want to create the negative space from a bunch of small minus signs(-) that need to line up as they go across. If I type on each path one at a time as the text doesn't line up that way. This needs to be one continuous path. (see second image)

Unfortunately if I add them together, it creates a compound path, which you cannot type on, unless I am mistaken? So I need them to be a path, not a compound object.
In illustrator, is there a way to reduce anchors points in a segment path without altering the path?
Is there a better and more efficient way to reduce anchors points than using the pen-minus tool?
Actually, I have more than 6 years experience on Catia V5 customization and vb and vb.net catia API's. What I am trying to do know is converting some applications or programs running on catia to the inventor.
The first program deal with the inventor API relating to the SweepFeatures class. So my first problem is about to find the right way to use the sketch3D for the creation of the path which is the input of the sweep method.
(oInvPartFeats.SweepFeatures.AddUsingPath(oInvProfile, oInvProfPath3D, kNewBodyOperation).
I know That is possible to create a path by using the CreatePath method when the input is SketchLines or any guide curve in the 2D Plan. Also, I tried to generate path by using the ProfilePath3D method of the sketch3D class but No way, the AddUsingPath  method of the SweepFeatures Class  doesn't accept it as path Input.
So I cannot imagine that is limitation of inventor because it was possible to do it by using the seep function of the model tab in the ipart document. How to create the path object as an input of the AddUsingPath  method of the SweepFeatures class.
I have a bunch of material libraries that need to be re-pathed as I have moved my textures, the Bitmap/Photometric paths editor has a tickbox that says "include material library" which leads me to believe that it will list, for re-pathing, all materials in my library.
However, it doesn't seem to do anything for me even though the library i need to re-path is loaded into my Material/map browser.
I am attaching a File as a xRef. At the time of Attachment, I select attach as attachment, and No Path in Path.
Now if I try to fetch detail of this file using MdiActiveDocument.Database and BlockTableRecord, I gets only file name not the path. However, In AutoCAD we can see the file path under "Found At". Can we read / fetch this using C#.
In case of Full Path or relative Path, I gets full path in btr.PathName
Here is my code and I am using AutoCAD 2013
Database db = acadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;
using (Transaction Trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) {
BlockTable BlkTbl = (BlockTable)Trans.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead,false,true);
db.ResolveXrefs(false, false);

I've tried every permutation of copy and paste; I renamed the path to path. It looks like a path when I add stroke, but it does not behave like one. I can't cut it or join it to any other path. It remembers it's text path status. I'm running OS X 10.7.5.
