well i have been trying to get this to turn out but cannot.
i have used the search quite a few time today but no luck.
i need an outline of a fire, i dont need color or much detail.
I'm creating navigational elements in photoshop and I want to be able to adjust the outline by itself, as well as there are some elements that are only an outline with no fill. How do I create shape outlines without the fill?

I'm new to illustrator and I'm trying to achieve something I hoped would be quite simple. I want to take a bitmap, live trace it, then create an outline of 2px wide only around the outside limits of the shape. I want to then get rid of all of the live trace vectors and be left with my very simple outline of the original image. Eg.
I've tried image expand, I've tried outline, but nothing seems to work as I need it to.
I have tried the offset path, however it gets too large. I am looking to keep things simple but need a bit more definition that just a simple outline will give. On this particular image I am looking to create an outline or fill shape behind the words and pistol but wanting to keep roughly the same shape.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm working with CorelDraw X3 and want to fill text into a round shape, while keeping it's exact outline. Hence, cutting of parts of words and letters is fine with me as long as the shape is well-defined. Unfortunately when filling paragraph text into a shape, the automatic line breaks lead to a quite irregular shape regardless of font size.
As workaround I arranged a mask in front of background and text but this requires a square paragraph text which is larger than the background. Since paragraph text obviously cannot be cropped with other objects I made the mask size bigger and filled it white. When exporting my document as image everything looks neat, but there must be a better way to do this in CorelDraw itself?
I tried converting the paragraph text into artistic text and cropping this, which works fine for a few words and a small object. But I'm talking around 1000 words here, and trying to crop this artistic text leads to very random cropping results. I guess such a large number of objects and knots is too much for CorelDraw to handle!?
How do you get the 1 pixel edge on a shape, kind of like a bevel. An example would be the grey rectangles atbluemetal.com .
I want that slight edge on the top and left boarder only.
I am trying to put a rounded rectangle around some text but it only makes a filled shape and covers the text. How do I put just the border of a rounded rectangle around some text?

I was wondering how to outline a shape in a picture and then make the rest of the picture white.
I've included 2 pictures: This one is an example of what I want to do:
This one is the picture that I want to edit (Outline the shoes in the picture and then make the rest of the picture white): It seems like this can't be too hard but I'm really bad at Photoshop.
It does trouble me especially during setting "drop shadow", "inner glow" and "stroke". In previous version, if this problem came up, I can solve it by clicking another layer and then double-clicking the original layer to pop up the style setting.

I am trying to do a detail view on an isometric and i would like a long sausage shape angled with the isometric. the detail views are round or rectangular horizontal, i would even be happy with a rectangle on the piss in line with the isometric.
i tried putting on a sketch of my sausage shape and performing a breakout view but it will only take away the components within the sausage, i want to flip this. I then tried putting a big rectangle on the same sketch in the hope that it would leave the sausage as an island, (much like a hatch) .
when we are taking details view ther is two type cutout shape
1.smooth shape
2.jogged shape
i need to remove or hide the cutout shape line in detail view. it is possible.
please find the attached file for detail.
is it possible maybe to slice a shape which has a outline, but on a way that after the slicing, the two new shapes will not have individual outlines?

Basically I can execute that if the outline is created by Contour tool, but is it possible that for shapes with outlines?
I have been playing around a bit - and think the answer lives somewhere in compound paths, but can't quite get it right.
In the example below, I essentially want the anter to cut out it's outline shape into the axe. Same with the shield over everything.
This is essentially so I can place the logo over all sorts of backgrounds, without having to have a white outline on it.
The oject below has an unwanted small yellow shape on its edge.
Not sure why it is there as an identicle object within the same project doesn't have it!
How can I connect them again so they are one?
Whilst I am doing this is it also possible to connect the other yellow areas in this image so I can recolor them all together whilst testing colors?
I tried using the: Shift+Select all object>Ctrl Click>Group (& tried "Join" also) but doesnt seem to connect them!
i created three circles which overlap at certain points, and each of the spaces is filled in with a different color. i need to hide the thin, black outline of the circles. i have made sure that there is no stroke, but it's still there.

We would normal place detail views on the elevation view to zoom in on key areas of the belt, i.e. drive area etc. In all previous release of inventor had no problem. However Inventor 2013 displays the following error.

I have some artistic text, that I converted to curves. This artistic text, included outline which I would like to keep with the text. But now - I would like to apply a fill, to fill the entire creation, including the outlines, seamlessly. Basically, replace the outline color with the fill, and the fill itself - such as linear fountain fill.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been using Xara Photo and Graphic designer for about a week now to design some characters for a game I'm working on and in general find it great to use as a freehand authoring tool.
In order to develop a cartoon style, I'm building my characters out of free hand coloured objects with black outlines with cel shading made from partial masked clones of the objects. This works a treat until I come to put two of the objects together and want to erase part of the outline on the topmost object where it meets the underlying one.
I thought I'd found a solution with a tip on the Xara site (at the top of the page here) where you draw the outline portion you want and combine with a second object then break the objects again. This pretty much achieves what I want, I get a filled object with the outline broken where I originally left it, however, things start to go wrong when you attempt to mask clone a part of the object you've created (for example, to produce a shaded portion of the underlying object) as it's still a line and not a shape, so the mask clone gets confused and doesn't cut out the intended area.
This must be a pretty regular requirement, particularly for people creating flash animations, so I'm sure I must be missing something or going about the construction of the image in the wrong way.
When I add an outline to a shape, it always seems to build itself from the center of the line. Can I set my outline (line as opposed to fill) to be outside, middle, or inside my shape?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOnce again, working with viewports. I want to be able to capture only the outline of the shape I am working with when viewing it at a certain view.
For example, the MIDDLE picture is my shape.
LEFT PICTURE is the TOP view of my shape.
RIGHT PICTURE is what I want - the OUTLINE of the top view seen in the LEFT PICTURE.
Is it possible to get this "outlined" view in autocad?
Basically I have a picture of my hall and I want to change the colour of the blue part to different colours to see what paint would look good.
All I can see is to make rectangles and then a thick brush to recolour each one with the mouse which takes ages.
can I not create a shape to outline the entire blue area and just click on different colour palettes to see how they look?
