I am trying to make thin line boxes like those seen on sites like yahoo! etc... when I create a box using the rectangular marquee, and make the border 1 pixes, it makes the line too thick. Any idea how to make a finer line/border around a box?
I am using live paint to paint cartoon character illustrations. The artwork is brought into Illustrator CS3 and live traced. Then I convert it to a live paint group and use the paint bucket to fill. Everything looks fine no matter how much I zoom in. If I bring the AI file into Photoshop CS6 I can see a thin white line between the black line art and the fill. This is most noticeable where black meets black. I can also see this sometimes in file previews while browsing through files. If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok? I did just upgrade to CS6 if that would make a difference.
I've stroked around the outside of a person with a black stoke. On a new layer below the stoke layer ive filled the person in but it leaves like a thin white jagged line in between the fill and the stroke and it doesn't look smooth.
A thin white border around the figure that I had edited appeared out of nowhere. I was able to erase it before editing the background but now I can't erase it or remember how I did that.
how to get rid of this line? If by setting the eraser color to the background color, how do I do that? As I get rid of the line, I'd also like to refine the figure's outline so it becomes cleaner.
When you measure something with the distance command, according to the type of file, the last zoom you did, your graphic card and probably the speed of the wind, the little red line won't show.
Normally when you measure something, a thin red line is shown were the distance is calculated. But in my laptop, and both pc's of my client, Inventor shows this line only in parts, not in assemblies. I've got a Quadro 2000M, my client got Quadro FX 1700 and 1800, all with the recommended drivers.
So I tried with 3 other laptops. On one of them (with a K2000M) if you do a measure right after the file open, it give you the line, if you zoom with the measure command open, the line disappear and won't show again until you close and open the file again. But if you zoom without the command active, the line is shown normally. But it's not working like that on all machines.
I am looking to make a brush that I can use for cartooning in CS6 that starts out thin, gets thicker with pressure (I have a cintiq), and ends in a thin line.
In my drawing I have 6 rectangular object and of different sizes. I want to align them to one base line or align bottom as in visio. How can I do that?
Here's the situation. I have a block that will be inserted showing a piece of angle iron that is used for a stiffener. We have various sizes that will need to be used. Instead of typing in the angle size each time it's inserted can I have a list of all the angle sizes and then a pick box or radial dial or something to be selected and that is what is put in the block?
how do I create nice thing lines that are curved, I used the pen tool and then stroke the work path but it doesnt look the same because if I use a really thin brush...say 1 px, it comes out edgy, and thicker brushes create lines that are too thick.
I have created a business card layout in PS 7. It will be on white and I would like to add a very thin double border around it. The only way I know how to create a thin border is by using the rectangle margee to create and merge 4 "strips", but these are too wide.
how I can make thin borders and be able to set the colors? The each need to be different colors.
I'm using the pen tool tracing a drawing and want to create the line thats thick at one end and thin at the other, like calligraphy type lines, how tdo you set them up?
Ok, first off my friend is a little bit on the chunky side so I wanted to take a picture of him and edit in Photoshop making him really skinny like anorexic so you can see his bones and stuff... pretty much like a walking skeleton... can anyone help me on how I might be able 2 go about doing this?
when I have a document filling the screen (i.e. click ctrl+0) there is a thin white border surronding the image (see attachment). This does not show at any other magnification. Not happened in any other PS iteration (long word!) Would it be a graphics card issue?
My sister has some drawings that she want to scan and send to me. They use very thin pen ink. She then wants the pen strokes to be colorized and turned into water color strokes.As an experiment I tried using the "Artistic-Watercolor" filter on some thin lines and the results were lame.
All of the watercolor brushes I have seen online seem for comparatively wide stokes.Is there a filter or action that could turn very thin ink stokes into realistic looking watercolor strokes?
I'm looking to create a thin grey striped layer to use as a background in Photoshop. I need it cover an entire A4 sized page, so some way that allows me to do it easily in one go.
It must still be possible to simply paint a stroke with the paint brush that will fade away from thick to thin and to then to nothing. I can do this easily in my trusty PS version 6, but I can't find this feature in CS. (There's something called "Fade" in CS, but it's a whole different thing.) This is not a "nice-to-have" feature, it is essential. For example, it allows me to draw cartoons with lines that appear to be painted the way a brush makes lines that start out fat and gradually get thinner and thinner.
I reloaded my Wacom and PSD. I have current drivers and all appears as normal, however... I can't for the life of me get the settings right to draw using pressure, from a thin to think line and back. I played with those settings in Brush dynamics and it will only draw as a round stroke with no thickness variations.
I'm working on uploading GIFs onto a website I'm working on, I'm testing them on a completely white background #FFFFFF, more specifically the background of the webpage is white. I've saved the GIF with the least amount of colors while maintaining the integrity of the image. I've saved the image with transparency and no matte, there is a thin border around my GIF. I've saved the image with no transparency and the matte matching the webpage background, there is a thin border around my GIF. I've saved my border with transparency unchecked and matching matte color with the background color of the webpage and there is still a thin border around my GIF. I don't know if it has anything with the artboard or what? I've even tried the above and saving it as a PNG and the same happens. I've attached a picture of what the image looks like once uploaded, as you can see it appears in just about anything I design with illustrator.
I use Corel DRAW for writing articles in Telugu ( a South Indian language)I have been using X4 from 2008 on-wards.This is how I do it.
I use Edit PLus Version 2 for data entry...no formatting at this stage.Then , I copy and paste it it in Corel DRAW.Formatting for font, line breaks, paragraph breaks etc. is done in DRAW.Then I ‘Publish to PDF’ and I get very clean PDF file....absolutely no issues.The fonts are developed by local vendor and are Type 1 format. I never print them.
Some of my recipients have printed on laser printers.They too had no problems.I send them as attachments with my emails.
About two months ago, I purchased and started using X6.Here the PDF file appears very faint.
The same thing happened with X5 also.I am not able attach same PDF files as they are around 1 MB ...with the same text and all other parameters.
I did use to round selection tool to create a circle. Then, I strike with or a fuzzy 1-3 pixels brush and look at the shi.... result a I get. My straight diagonal lijes look just great but the circles are just awful.What can be done to have the circles with lines as clean as the straight ones?
The same problem in Illustrator CS6 (but it appears from a few version of CS back).
I have document in an Illustrator. The document is generally for print, I don't using them to making website, so without using Slice tool.
I need have separation pdf so first I print the document to postrscript usind pdf ppd. Always the same settings:
1. General - only media size 2. Marks and Bleed - none (i mean all off) 3. Output - mode: Separations (host-based), and rest like is: emulsion: Up, Image: Positive, Printer Resolution: 71lpi/600dpi 4. Graphic - none 5. Color Managment - none 6. Advanced - none 7. Summary - none
After printing I have a separation, pdf file. Always appears vertical and horizontal thin white lines, like document was preparing for website and sliced. Can I use some settings to avoid this situation? I tried a various setting but the lines always appears..
what I do need clarification on is the statement in this warning "One or more bodies which are thing being treated as solids". Does this mean that the bodies that were detected fall under the criteria for being a Midsurface or Offset and that the user has the opportunity to apply these commands in order to make the analysis more accurate? So if I were to ignore this and continue with my analysis, the members will still be treated as a solid and not as a shell and/or surface (which is what the Midsurface/Offset command produces)? The members I am using that have triggered this warning are HSS 2x2x0.125 x 12' long.
The white border only shows up when i color in a part of the picture, not when its all white and black. I've tried the feather tool but it didn't work. It never happened before when i made my other pictures, it just randomly started!
I'm making a realistic looking customizer (similar to NikeiD and Reebok YOUR). I used the pen tool and pathfinder to make each zone (shape). After I made all the zones I used the clipping mask on every zone to include the photo of the pad so the colored zone looks realistic.
However, once I make the clipping mask on all the zones, about a 1px gap appears between all the zones. How do I fix this so there is no gap between the zones (fyi: I used the divide and trim pathfinder tool so there is no space between the zones in outline view)?
PS: I'm aware that I can turn off anti-aliasing in the preferences, but that doesn't slove the problem for web, only print.
I have a pressure vessel which I am trying to analyse. Whenever I convert the solid into 'thin bodies', it loses some of the data. For example, a fillet and a supporting ring (refer to pic attached). I haven't been able to find any 'shell element' settings to adjust.
Also, I need to manually add contacts otherwise the vessel seperates into multiple bodies.
Even though the solid model is in contact, the 'midsurface' shell seperates it. Refer to part file attached.
I briefly tried to run the analysis as a solid model, but gave up as it was taking forever just to mesh.
