Illustrator :: Ceases To Contract A Shape Using Offset Paths And Will Only Expand A Shape

Jun 20, 2013

What does it mean when Illustrator v.15.1.0 ceases to contract a shape using offset paths and will only expand a shape? Seems like only yesterday I could render both ways. Wait a minute, it was only yesterday! Why would it suddenly stop funtioning?

Photoshop :: How To View All Your Paths/shape Lines While You Are Working?

Aug 16, 2007

Is there any "view" that enables you to see the path/shape lines (not the fill, just the lines) that you have done in different layers?

I hate to keep switching opacity on and off to see where the other lines end and stuff.. I know you can turn of and on the paths with CTRL ALT H, but that is only for one layer.. and I want to see them for all the layers while Im working on one.

Photoshop :: Quick Mask Tool

Feb 12, 2004

I must have 'done' something to change how it works because now when I use it, the pixels are not completely selected.

I press the quick mask button and paint the area i want to mask. Then when I have finished, I go back to normal mode. I usually push 'SHIFT' + 'CTRL' + 'I' to invert my selection and then delete everything I didn't mask however, now when I try to invert, I get the message 'No pixels are more than 50% selected'.

I'm trying to take a shape from illustrator and have the iOS graphics engine draw it without having to import the file. In order to do this, I need to somehow get a text break down of all the bezier paths / curves / points that comprise the shape so I can tell the iOS graphics engine the points that need to be drawn. Is there anyway to get a list of these points from illustrator?

Photoshop :: What Brush Preset Should Be Used With Quick Selection Tool

Feb 24, 2013

I'm using Photoshop CS5 on a MacBook Air running OS X 10.8.2...I have managed to change the brush in my quick selection tool, or at least the way it looks on the screen, and I can't figure out how to get it back.
 
It now looks like a paint brush with light rays around it instead of the circle with the plus sign in the middle. It does not change size when the ] key is hit.
 
The current preset says its Quick Selection Tool Hard Round 250 1...In addition when I use the marquee tool I can not see the crosshairs when I am inside the image.The only thing I have knowingly done is to create a preset for a dashed line and imagine in doing that I have messed up the other. I have also changed the preferences for the cursor back and forth between standard and precise but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Photoshop :: Quick Selection Tool Freezes CS6 / Becomes Unresponsive For Minutes

Feb 24, 2013

After only two selections the tool becomes unresponsive for minutes.
 
I'm on a 2.6 Ghz retina MacBook Pro, 16 Gb RAM, and this in connection with an SSD should make this tool very good to use. Operating system: OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", latest update.
 
Unfortunately, it seems to develop some kind of overload, during which you cannot use Photoshop at all. No commands like "undo selection", "quit", "close file" are accepted. 
 
Hint: it seems to happen when you option select (subtract from an existing selection).
 
Hint: the freeze can be shortened by a tool switch (has to be through clicking on a tool, keyboard commands are frozen as well)
 
Hint: the "subtract selection" move that caused the freeze appears after Photoshop comes back to life after a couple of minutes. The subtraction to the selection seems to be random, makes no sense, and is not the regular function of the tool.
 
First step after this freeze would be to undo the last selection, and continue working.If you do several "add to selection" moves, they add up in a kind of waiting line. If you do the subtract from selection move, this doesn't work, and the freeze happens.
 
So far, I have not noticed the freeze when adding to a selection. Adding to a selection was always quick and instant. The bug must sit in the "subtract from selection" code.On most freezes, the ants continue walking, I just had one (again with subtracting selection) where even the ants stopped walking.
 
I don't think it has anything to do with Photoshop working. I have used the quick selection tool regularly under CS5 on my old machine (which was a museum piece), and while I had to wait sometimes, it was never ground to a freeze/halt like the quick selection tool under CS6.

Photoshop :: Quick Selection Tool Failing To Select Objects

Jun 26, 2013

Every time I use Quick selection tool it selects the area which I don't want to use. I have a website called JoGuru Social Travel Network for which I need to edit it's logo. Now since the logo has many green and blue variation I  can't select the area I need.
 
I thought of changing the color of logo so that it looks refined but green color signifies travel and i can't think of using any other color. It would have been easy to pick other color. For me Green is God. I must use that only. I also need to encorporate small road in it that defines journey to infinity.  This tool use to work well before. It's giving me problem for the first time.

Photoshop :: Auto-Enhance Option With Quick Selection Tool

Oct 3, 2013

I'm trying to compare a selection made with the Auto-Enhance check box on and off with the Quick Selection tool, though I'm not seeing a difference. My understanding is that it gives the selection a smoother, less blocky edge,
 
1. even though I'm not seeing a difference, is there a reason to just not keep it checked all the time? 
2. Can you apply this checkbox after making a selection or only prior to doing one?

Photoshop :: OpenGL Seemingly Deactivates After Use Of Quick Selection Tool

Apr 27, 2013

Before using the quick selection tool, I am able to smoothly zoom in and out by holding Ctrl+Space and dragging with the mouse.If I use the quick selection tool, however, the marching ants line turns into a strange box. I no longer am able to zoom smoothly but instead with the technique above I draw a rectangle which I zoom into. This indicates to me, that OpenGL has been deactivated. I want my smooth zoom back!
 
I noticed that the preferences always show OpenGL as active, no matter which of the above "state" I'm in. I tried updating my AMD graphics card's driver without success. I found a post describing similar OpenGL problems on the same graphics card and installed the linked driver; the post was 2 years old, but it worked. Re-installing more recent version (Catalyst-Version 12.6) brought the problem back. Newer versions of the driver seem all to suffer from the same problem.
 
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit,64-bit Photoshop Extended from CS5 Production Premium,AMD Radeon HD 4600 (currrently Catalyst-Version 13.1). 
I tried: "Downgrading" the driver (only really old version worked, as mentioned above),reseting Photoshops preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift at start),deactivating OpenGL (reactivating only works after restart and problem reappears) but I miss the smooth zoom.

Dec 24, 2007

I was using this nice tool for the forth time or so and I accidentally put the radius to 10, and suddenly these horrid jagged edges on model shirts disappeard.

The feather was at 2, and smoothness at 12. (in refine edges)

So should I now think of the radius and the the best method for edges rather than feather.

how the smooth mixes into this.
