I've been working on a layout in photoshop and used the pen tool quite alot to make my shapes. But the problem is when I fill them they look all jagged (or something like that :/ ). I dont really know how to deal with this, but I just want them to look normal without that pixelate border

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've saved a high res psd (300dpi) as pdf. I flattened the image before PDFing and used a JPG compression of 10. If I open the pdf from a browser, the browser version of acrobat does strange things to the image. Looks great until you scroll, then the image and text become very edgy jaggy. BUT, if I open acrobat and open the pdf, it looks great. Has it something to do with the browser version of acrobat? Is there some PDF preference or option that I'm missing?
The file also prints very well.
Looks bad if opened from a browser, good if you save it to your desktop, open Acrobat Reader and open the file.
I made an image for the Ironshop comp. and I made it just a tiny bit too big. I figured out the hard way that you also get quality loss when you scale an image down. My specs are 4454px. x 3345px., 61" x 46", and 72 ppi. I understand that my image should be 800px. x 600px., and Ive tried to up the pixels per inch, but it ends up very pixelated and jaggy.

Does Photoshop Elements 11 have the "shapes" tool?

All Transform tools cause jaggy edge. I've only tried these tools and Liquify for the last month and a half.

I have a document in publisher 07 with a photo of a product in it made from Photoshop CS3 saved as a PNG24. No matter how close I zoom in Publisher everything looks fine. When I create a pdf in acrobat using standard or high quality setting there shows white jagged edges aroung the photo. I have tried saving in a multitude of ways but cannot get those stupid jaggy edges to go away. Is it Photoshop, Acrobat, Publisher?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a photo of a white bus, and I need to put a banner onto the side of the bus. The banner has a solid black rectangular background. After using the Vanishing Point filter to make the banner look like it has the same perspective as the bus, the edges of the banner are jaggy. If I use the Free Transform tool to manually distort the banner into the right perspective, the edges of the banner are smooth. Is there a way to smooth out or antialias the edges when using Vanishing Point?

View 10 Replies View RelatedIt might just be my coppy of Photoshop (7), but whenever I use the shape tool (round, rectangle etc) I always get a small fixed shape, and can't seem to draw the shape to the size I want. I can't do a free-transform after creating the shape, but I don't wanna do that as it alters the overall look.
Does anyone know what may be doing something wrong? Do I have to change a setting somewhere? Unlike the marquee tool, I m not able to select from a dropdown box for its constraints.
I've used Photoshop 5 for 14+ years now and was forced to switch to Photoshop Elements 11 when we installed new computers at work recently. It seems to be missing an important tool (for me) that I can't seem to find. I don't know the official name but I called it a "vector" tool. You could draw custom curved and straight lines between set points to create a unique shape. Does it exist or is there a newer way to do the same task?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen text is selected with the text tool it looks nice and sharp with good edges, but when I click off the text tool and just read text on the page it is all jaggy and fuzzy looking. Then I select with the text tool it looks sharp again. Makes the page layout look bad and ugly to look at. Wasn't this way in X3. Is this typical of X5 or is there a setting change needed? Doesn't matter what font I use.

Also, now both vector shape become selected. Why is this happening if only one vector shape was selected?

I'm using Photoshop CC.
way to make parallel shapes using the Path Tool similar to Photoshop?
I haven't used Photoshop in a while, but I remember that you could hold CTRL (on PC) and click with the Pen Tool and it would straighten up your shape for you once the paths are connected and would like to do similar in GIMP but can't find out how.
In Elements 11 it was announced that selecting difficult shapes like hair for cutting out people etc was a new feature.I actually now know how to do it now because I have a tutorial from Digital Photo Magazine, It didnt feature in the new guided edits or "How To" videos (Why not?)
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen working on illustrator my selection tools won't adjust shapes anymore. I can move shapes around but I cannot resize them or stretch them. If I have a rectangle shape on my screen selected, the hash marks that are normally in the middle are no longer there, also at the edges of the rectangle the selection tool doesn't change over to the rotate tool. My selection tool also has a small black square at the bottom right of it that I haven't noticed before. I have no clue how I got into this mode, preferably without resetting all of my preferences,
View 6 Replies View RelatedOne of the things I do a LOT is outline a circular object (in a photo) using the line/curve tool in a separate layer so that I can select the circular thing or everything else. Hope that made sense. Anyway, the thing is not exactly a circular and the line/curve tool works great but it would be nice to have a shape tool that would draw a circle that could be sized/positioned and slightly deformed using nibs (or nubs or whatever) similar to the line/curve tool.
Is there a way to do that with the built in shape tool? Or is there a plugin?

I'm using the Pencil Tool to draw shapes (not good enough for the Pen Tool yet) and some of my paths are not as smooth as I'd like, so I go over them with the Smooth Tool, though it seems like it either smooths the path a little bit or completely changes its shape.

Now that I´m done, I realised there is a problem... how can I color in the drawing, if the lines themselves make up the shape? Essentially, I´m left with blank spaces in between all the lines instead of solid individual shapes that can be colored in.
What can I do? I´m so desperate I´m thinking of creating a gazillion individual shapes with the colors, and slapping them underneath the lines to "improv" a fill. But that will take waay too long, so is there an easier way?
If I could "invert" the shape I have now, so that the blank spaces become individual shapes, and the lines become blank spaces.
is there any way to add shapes, in the "basic shapes" bar?
or maybe in any other locations.
I use a lot of predefines shapes, that are saved in various files. i wanna make a way to directly import these shapes, whithout open files and copy/paste the dsired shapes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to take 2 Rounded Rectangle shapes that I have rotated by 45 degrees and make them one shape so that the Paths of each rectangle become one. I've looked up Paths, Shapes and other things in the manual but I've been unable to narrow down the right keywords to find what I'm looking for.
Â
I have used the Pen Tool but I'm not satisfied with the outcome of the Rounded Corners. I know I can use Combine Shapes but not when I first need to Rotate the shape.Â
Pretty sure I've done this before but for the life of me I cannot recall how nor can I find it in my notes. Here's a pic of what I want to change into one shape with one continuous path.
I have a shape, it has no fill, so it's just an outline, let's say it's an outline of a leg.
Â
Now what I want to do is draw another outline inside that leg outline, but I don't want 2 end up with 2 separate shapes (2 layers), I want to draw the 2nd outline directly into the first one, so it's all one big vector shape.
Â
For some reason this seems impossible to do in Photoshop CS6. If I select combine shapes, from the menu, free form pen tool and then draw the 2nd outline into the 1st outline, when I stop drawing I don't end up with one outline combined (on top of) the first, instead it just seems to do some weird clipping and I end up with the first outline shrinking, and the outline I just drew appearing not as an outline but as a path.
Â
This is something that works perfectly in Flash pro, you draw a shape, you draw another one on top and you then have both perfectly combined, no fuss no bother. You can even vary the stroke strength at any point along the line in Flash, I'm not sure this is even possible in Photoshop.
what's going wrong in photoshop or how to do that in photoshop?
