Photoshop :: Curved (beizer Interpolated) Freehand Painting?
Jul 30, 2005
I am using PS 7.0, and what I would like to be able to do use the paint tool, but have it connect the mouse samples (or in this case wacom tablet samples) with a bezier curve instead of a straight line. This is necessary because the sampling on the wacom is not good enough for fast drawing/painting, and the problem becomes much much worse when working zoomed out at 25% or so when working on a large canvas. Is this possible? The image editor that Macromedia makes for working with flash (I forget what it's called now) can do this, so it shouldn't be too hard, right? What about photoshop CS?

What method do you guys use for exporting Freehand(MX) files into Photoshop (CS)?
I've tried exporting as editable eps, psd(v. 4 I think it is) and simply to cut and paste, but everything comes out terrible when transformed from vector to pixel.

How to create a flow arrow label for a feature line that parallels the curve?
I've a vague notion that this could be done with a dynamic block and a few fancy expressions. I'm comfortable with expressions, but I've never used dynamic blocks at all, so I wouldn't know where to start.
To be clear, I know curved text is possible, but I'm looking for a curved line (ie an arc) that would look 'parallel' to the arc of the feature line (ie have the same centre point). This would have to be dynamic to allow for different radii and for flipping to the left and right side of the feature line.

Having a time getting ribs to align 2m below top of ridge beam, and connect to curved wall below. I created one, then arrayed, but the radius changes at each 2.5 degree interval. I don't think I should have to calculate the % radius change to get the beams to do this. Some constraint button maybe?
Not sure if editing a wall profile is the best way to model this, but it's working.

I want to extrude a big number of pillars to a rather complicated surface and that works out fine. But each end of the pillars warps around the surface and I want them just to go up to it and stop with a resulting horizontal face.

I've been using photoshop for about five years now, but I've just started to get into freehand drawing mainly as a way to hone my skills for my Flash animations. Everything was going fine until I hit a bit of a speedbump. When I start to draw curves by hand, the beginning is always jagged. There will be a straight line that makes a sharp turn and then goes into the ellipse that I want. I turned off smoothing. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Graphics Tablet, Is there some brush configuration that I should be using to stop this from happening?

I simply want to import a piece of scanned line art from Photoshop 7 into a
document in Freehand 9.
The line art, which is black lines, needs to be white inside of the boundary
of those lines against the solid color background of the Freehand doc. For
simplicity, lets say a ball, drawn with a black line, which is white inside,
sitting on a blue background. (Yes, I know I can draw a ball in Freehand,
it's just for the example.)
What I have tried:
In Photoshop, I select the white space around the ball with the Magic Wand
then chose Select > Inverse to get the ball selected. Then I go, Layer > New >
Layer via Copy, which creates a new layer with just the ball, white inside
and no white background around it. I see the gray checkerboard pattern where
the ball isn't.
But when I go to my Freehand doc and choose File > Import and bring in this
Photoshop element it appears on the solid color background as a white rectangle (the PS canvas, I guess) with the ball in it. I don't want the stupid white rectangle, just the ball.

I save .eps files in photoshop 7.0., open them in freehand MX,
make a .pdf and some pictures don't appear in the .pdf
(but the old ones do). I tried the whole process (from scanning on) but it doesn't work.
I installed the new full versions again...
any idea about the export preferences or preview formats (freehand says it doesn't accept TIFF previews..!?)

Is there a way within PS to support freehand drawings. What I mean is a support in that way which makes hand drawed curves more smooth. You know what I mean. I think Marcomedias Flash does such things. Is this also in PS availible?

I am currently working in a facade that has a stylized gondola on it. The gondola has curved walls for the sides, and I need to have the curved cut to give it the shape. The tools I know are for straight walls, not curved. and the Opening/wall makes a squared opening, not curved.

I've used Illustrator for several years and it did it until..CS6... and now it notifies me that it is an unknown format... in both the Finder and Bridge. In Bridge I've set FH11 filetype preferences to CS6 and in the Findera FH11 file was selected and in teh Information Panel, Illustrator 6 was chosen as well as 'Open with...Change All'
I have plenty of Freehand files that I convert on as needed and I don't want to install CS5 just for that purpose.

You used to be able to open Freehand 8 files in Illustrator CS4 by changing their extension to .eps, but that trick appears to no longer work with CS6. Any trick with CS6 to get them to open?

Well, I bought Xara Designer Pro 7 the other day, and I'm trying to get used to it. One thing it's doing that really bugs me is that when I draw a circle or an oval in freehand, the circle fills in with solid color!

on my windows 7 machine my freehand import of Illustrator CS5 and CS4 is broken after installing cs6 creative cloud.
I can still select a freehand file to open and the dialog box appears, but after choosing OK nothing happens. No file opens and no error appears. It doesn´t depend on the freehand file because my other machine with CS3 can still open these files.
What can i do to repair illustrator? - it´s part of a master collection install.

Any workaround for text along path conversion from freehand to illustrator?The problem is text along path in freehand which is slightly moved along path.The result after conversion to illustrator is an invissible (exept a red+ where the text should be)text. Sometimes you can't even correct the problemtext so you had to place hundreds/thousends of text (streetmaps) again after conversion.
Exporting the Freehand file as illustrator 7 gives a much better result for the text part. (the art works is in this case seperated into lines and fills)The message I get opening the illustrator file in CS3 is that legacy text should be updated, clicking the update button and text is looking way better and there is less text to replace.Opening the Feehand file in CS3 doesn't give me this method.

I've been using CS5 for a few months and have been able to import Freehand 10 files without any problems. About a week ago, I tried importing a Freehand file, and it won't open in Illustrator. I still get the "Freehand Import Options" pop up window, can still click the OK button, but nothing happens. I've tried re-installing Illustrator, but it hasn't changed anything with the issue.

I have several Freehand bar graphs and line graphs that I need to convert to Illustrator.So far, I have saved the files to Illustrator 7 and then opened them in Illustrator CS2.
But the numbers underlying the graphs don't seem to come through.How can I keep those numbers intact, bringing them in from Illustrator so that I can go back into them and update numbers to generate the bar graphs and line graphs in Illustrator?

I converted all my FreeHand files. Some have transparencies. Illustrator shows the transparencies, but does not recognize them in the Transparency panel. It says they have 100% opacity even though they appear transparent. I assume this is just how they got converted. Is there any fast way to make them recognize their original opacity % as set in FreeHand?

I just noticed a serious UI issue. Say I'm zoomed in and am creating acomplex freehand selection. I'm now selecting stuff at the very top ofthe canvas, and I happen to miss a bit and touch the 'ruler'. Suddenly,GIMP switches to the move tool and I've lost the whole selection! Does this behaviour can be turned off?
(I know I can turn off the rulers, but it's annoying having to turn themoff and on all the time since they are sometimes useful.)

Is there a text editor window in Illustrator similar to Freehand? I want to be able to edit text without constantly having to zoom in so that I can see the text, then zoom out again to see the whole page.
In Freehand, you could select a Preference that would open a Text Editor window that was consistant in size no matter what the zoom level was. You could opt to show the text in 12pt Helvetica or in the actual font and size. This was enormously useful in organizing and shaping the size of the text.

Is there a way to make rulers be off by default when I start Gimp? Iknow it's just a matter of clicking ctrl+shift+r, but that's easy to saywhen you've just lost a huge, painstakingly made selection …

you've zoomed in to start this painstaking freehand selection withlots and lots of points, and when you get to the end, nothing getsselected. Then you notice that, once again, you had done a Select Allsome time ago (invisible because you zoomed in) and forgotten to SelectNone before clicking the lasso.
What do people do to avoid this? (I know the obvious answer is "rememberto check what your selection is all the time", but that's seriouslyflow-disruptive.)
GIMP could blink the image or something when you add selectionpoints that don't increase/decrease the already selected area, but Iguess that might take some time to implement.
