Photoshop :: Difference Between Shape And Fill Layer
Apr 13, 2012I just realized that a Shape Layer is the same thing as a Fill Layer which has a Vector Mask. Or that's how it looks anyway. What's the difference?
View 3 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Pen Pressure Opacity (glitches) And Do Full Opacity Often When Try To Digital Paint
Aug 26, 2013It does it every 4-6 times which is really really often since you brush about 10 times every 3 seconds or so when digital painting especially when shading, lighting, blending, etc with brushing.
Why does it do this? I cant recall when it started doing this but I think it was either when I updated from CS4 to CS6 or maybe it just randomly kicked in. I already updated my drivers and re-installed my tablet.
Illustrator :: Object Layering Opacity - Fill Doesn't Block Out Object Paths Beneath
Jul 14, 2013I am having some trouble with a file in Illustrator CS6. Within a layer, when I add a fill to an object, the fill doesn't block out the object paths beneath. For instance, say I have a square object overlapping a circle object in Layer 1. The square object is above the circle in the layer. When I add a fill to the square, the circle stroke still shows through the square even though the overlapped part should be blocked out by the fill. The square is set to normal visibility, and I have made sure that there are no duplicate paths that would account for what I am seeing. (I.e., it's not a case where there's a second identical circle path that is on top of the square, so that it remains visible in spite of the fill.)
Other details:
- I'm mainly working with a white fill, but the problem is the same with fills of any color
- When there's a fill color in the circle path as well, the circle's fill color *is* blocked out—just not its stroke.
- I have restarted Illustrator and restarted my computer and these have not changed anything.
- There are other layers within the same document where the normal layering rules work.
- I tried copy/pasting some of the problem objects into a new document, and in the new document, the fill works properly.
- If I move the problem objects to another layer, then the fill works as it should. But as I'm dealing with a number of paths, it doesn't make sense to create a layer for each to solve the problem.
I can't tell if it's a matter of working in too large or complex a file.
After Effects :: Getting An Object To Instantly Go From 100% Opacity To 0% Opacity
Feb 10, 2014In the animation I am working on, I need an object to instantly go from 100% opacity to 0% opacity. The problem is, even if you use the opacity of the layer as a keyframe, the object will not instanlty vanish, even if it is only on for the timeruler for a quick amount of time.
I need a tool that will drop from 100% opacity to 0% instantly.
Photoshop :: How To Fill Canvas With Color Without Having To Cover It With Large Rectangle To Fill

Photoshop :: Fill Tool Doesn't Completely (fill)?
Jul 16, 2013When I use the fill tool to simply 'fill' a selection, it does not completely fill it. There is an ivisible barrier or line that prevents it from filling all the way to the edge. Do you think I have my settings wrong?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: How Long For Part Fill / Mold Fill Analysis
Sep 7, 2013Okay, so it's been a while since I've done one of these, and I haven't done one on 2014 at all yet.
I've got a fairly simple part, it's about 6" long x 3" wide, less than 3/8" thick, without a whole lot of complex geometry to work with. I've built up my whole mold for it, and that went okay, but the fill analysis seems like it's taking forever. Like hours. It gets to the "Fill" stage, gets just a sliver of green on the progress bar, and then sits.
Last time I tried this was on my workstation at the office, using 2013. It didn't take nearly this long, and the part was much larger and far more complex, with a significantly slower computer.
Is something broken with this in 2014? I guess I can just let it run overnight, see what happens in the morning ...

GIMP :: Fill Selected Background Area With Flame Fill Pattern
Dec 17, 2012see xcf attachment...
I used a heart fill pattern of the right 75% of the picture and the left 75% of the picture is selected overlapping the first fill in the background... I want to fill the selected background area with a flame fill pattern where it overlaps the selected portion of the heart pattern as well as the transparent area... 'overlay' looks better but Gimp is FAILING to fill the transparent areas, it ONLY fills the overlapped heart pattern portion of the selected content!!! I even tried filling the transparent area with 'white' then filling the selected area, but it STILL ONLY wants to overlay fill the heart pattern, it STILL leaves the rest alone!!! it doesn't matter if the background is white or transparent, it leaves that alone and ONLY fills the heart pattern area of selected portion of the image!!!
Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 :: How To Jump Directly To Uniform Fill - Models Dialog For Fill Color
Apr 23, 2012In Corel PhotoPaint X5, changing the fill color was possible by e.g. double clicking the (left-most) color square, then hitting Edit. Already, I found this was a bit too many clicks. Now in Corel PhotoPaint X6 it's gotten worse -- after hitting Edit, I'm not in the left-most tab "Models", but in the right tab "Palettes"!
My question: Is there any way I can open the Uniform Fill dialog with one click? (The Color Docker doesn't have a big color preview field so it doesn't work well for me when selecting and changing a color.) And is there any chance Corel will fix the bug with the wrong tab being opened?
Illustrator :: Fill Section But Using Fill / Stroke Only Changes Line Color
Feb 17, 2013I traced an image earlier, expanded it then wanted to change the line colour. For some reason I couldn't get this to work even though I've done it in the past. So, I used the magic wand to select the line then dragged it into my new document and changed the line colour.
Now, I want to change the fill on certain sections, however when I change the stroke it changes the colour of the line and when I change the fill it changes the color of the line.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Auto Switch Between Stroke Fill And Fill
Nov 20, 2012I spend 12 hours a day in illustrator and some functionality seems to simplistic and ultimately annoying.I'm using Windows 7 64bit. Adobe Illustrator CS6
1. Please auto switch between Stroke fill and fill when I select text. 99% of my time is spent only using fill on text. I would rather manually switch to Stroke when I want to add a fill to it rather having to switch to fill each time.
2. Same for Stroke, from point 1.
3. Add an auto layer for Guides. When I am using the Scissors tool, the majority of the time I don't want to cut my guides up, I would rather instead cut up the shape below it. Again manually changing the layer to select the guide would be preferable.
4. I personally never use the Eraser tool and I switch to the Scissors Tool. Without fail every time I launch Illustrator I have to switch from the Eraser Tool too the Scissors tool. Please add cookies or something so I don't have to always switch to the Scissors Tool.
5. Move "Align to Pixel" toggle somewhere outside a file menu.
Photoshop :: Main Monitor
Oct 24, 2008here are my system specs. Windows XP Pro Sp3. 2GB ram. PS CS4 on a 160GB Raptor (10k RPM). Scratch on a 7500 RPM. 3 monitors (2 on a Dual head Nvidia 7800 GT) and 1 on a single head Nvidia 6800 GT.
Left monitor on the single head Nvidia 6800GT
Middle monitor (my main monitor) and right monitor, on a Dual head Nvidia 7800 GT
Here are the questions:
1. I have not noticed a speed bump with CS4 over CS3. Would it help if I take my main monitor off the Dual Card and put it on its own card. In other words, swap the left and middle monitors so that the left and right monitors are on the Dual Nvidia 7800 GT and the Middle (main) monitor is on the Single Nvidia 6800 GT own card?
2. Should I leave the scratch disk on the slower 7500 rpm separate HD or is it more efficient to put it back on the same Raptor 10k RPM hard drive as the CS4 Program?
3. with not noticing any faster speed, I tried to upgrade from 2GB to 3GB and found out I can not (32 bit OS limitation (can only see 2GB)) from several sources. However, that one is not closed yet because some say a 32 bit OS (Window XP) can see a max of 4GB. I am only throwing question 3 into the mix because if may be a factor. I will be talking to Dell later today.
Photoshop :: CS4 Main Menu Missing A Row
Jun 15, 2009I have Photoshop CS4 installed on my laptop and Photoshop CS4 Extended installed on my desktop (part of Production Suite). I'm experiencing a problem on BOTH systems where the main menu is missing a row of pixels (see image below). Both systems are running Windows XP Pro SP3. I have Open GL disabled on both systems. The weird thing is the missing row of pixels comes and goes while I'm using the application. Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

Nov 16, 2008I am using Photoshop CS4 on a 32bit vista Q6600. When I installed CS4, I had a graphics card based on a 8600GS. Photoshop run fine, even in openGL.
Not I upgraded the graphics card to a 9600GT for better performance. CS4 still starts, but when a photo is loaded, the photo appears correctly in the navigator, but the main window where the photo usually appeared remains grey, as the background. When moving around this window, the photo appear, but as soon as I release the mouse button, the window turn grey again...
When I deactivate openGL in CS4, everything seems to work.
I am having the latest NVidia drivers installed 178.24 (with both graphics cards).
I tried to reinstall the driver, no change.
I tried to reinstall CS4, no change.
getting CS4 work in openGL with this 9600GT?
Photoshop :: Moving Palettes Along With Main Windows
Jan 16, 2013Is there a way for moving all my open palettes with the Photoshop main window from one screen to another in a single go? It seems a bit awkward that when moving my Photoshop window from screen 1 to screen 2 I have to move every single palette one at a time? And if i save a custom work space and load it when my Photoshop is on my second screen it still places the palettes as they were saved on screen 1 instead of relative to where my Photoshop window is placed.

Jan 8, 2013In Photoshop Elements 11 for Dummies the main display area (Figure 1-2) has an area to the right with the headings Keyword Tags and Information, and down below that Image Keywords. My version of PSE 11, which I just bought, does not show this area to the right of the main display area. Also, the main display area includes a bunch of frames with names like "A_Taste_of_Sicily.mp3". Is this because my version of PSE 11 is different from the version used by the writers of the Dummies book or is there something I need to do first?
