Can you "auto smooth" your drawing as you're drawing?

When I draw on the computer, it's always very sketchy looking, even if I'm using my tablet. I'm learning vectors right now but I'd rather draw at the moment. Nevertheless, I was wondering if there was a option or tool in adobe's arsenal, that makes it so, as you draw, adobe is autocorrecting your lines to make everything smooth and not jagged? Does this "autosmoother" even exist? I hope so.
P.S. Can you guys recommend me some good sites/videos that teaches you how to use vector to it's fullest and how to start a website?
Thanks in advance!

AI has some "auto smoothing" options, but do not know of such in PS. Now, AI will be Vector art.
In Corel Painter, you can also invoke similar. Painter is a pixel-based Raster program, and is designed for "natural media" drawing.
Good luck, and maybe others will have tips on something I have missed.

  • Can you smooth out a brush stroke?

    I am using an animated brush stroke to provide the Indiana Jones look on top of a picture of a google map for a trip I took. I can draw the brush stroke and set a key frame on the "end" attribute so that it paints on the stroke, but the stroke is not as smooth as I would like it and I can't find a way to edit the vertices of the brush stroke and can't apply the smoother to it either. Once you draw a brush stroke, can you smooth it out? Also, since I drew the brush stroke on top of my layer, is there a way to put a shadow underneath the brush stroke?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'd use a shape layer and the Trim Paths path operation rather than a paint stroke.
    There's a link to a video tutorial showing how to do this in the
    "Alter shapes with path operations" section of After Effects Help on the Web.
    But, if you are using a paint stroke, then you can decrease the value of the Spacing property to make the strokes more smooth and continuous. See the
    "Brushes and the Brushes panel" section of After Effects Help on the Web.
    [Edit: Oh, I just realized that just meant "smooth" as in having fewer and less sharp turns. For this, you should copy the Path property of the paint stroke, paste it into the Position property of a temporary dummy layer, run the Smoother on that motion path, copy the motion path, and then paste that into your paint path. If you just want to edit the path a little bit, then you can copy it into a mask path and use the mask path editing tools and techniques. David Wigforss has a tip about this
    on this page. The basic thing to take away from this is that you can copy and paste between the various kinds of paths and use the tools for one to help you with the other. (See
    "Create a mask or shape from a motion path".)]
    Regarding the shadow: There are many ways to do this. The first that comes to my mind for the paint stroke is to duplicate the stroke, make it a dark grey, reduce its opacity, and offset its position slightly from the other stroke. (Each paint stroke has its own Transform properties, so you can just go into the duplicate stroke's Transform property group and add a little to its Position values.) If you decide to go with the shape layer option, you could do essentially the same thing or you could use a Drop Shadow
    layer style.

    Things i had to set manually;
    1) Keyboard layout, because it defaults to US
    2) Two mouse keys don't work had to manually set, Emulate3Buttons defaults on (wanted it off)
    3) "VideoOverlay" is off by default (or is not auto detected)
    3) needed to set DPI to 96
    4) needed to set color to 24 (defaulted to 8?)
    apart from that, the auto detection is vastly improving IMO.
    The main premise behind this, is to debate the auto detection capabilities of hardware by xorg.

  • Can you accept 7.2 update without authorizing auto...

    Hi--running SK 7.1.0.105 on an updated Windows 8.1 Toshiba PC.
    I have a conference call later today, so when I saw the update I wanted to get it over and give the system hours to crash, blue screen, stop using audio or video--the usual things I have come to expect from updates. 
    The new Wizard starts with authorizing auto-updates.  I backed out to find another screen.  I made sure auto-updates are not on. I don't allow auto-updates on anything anymore, because I lose work, have my machine freeze, etc.
    Windows 8.damned doesn't like auto-upgrades.
    Can you upgrade without this feature, or do I have to attempt to freeze at this level, and either look for another program, or wait for MS to realize that this was a mistake?
    I realize that all Win 8.1 users have been left hanging in the wind, but thought I'd check, and hope.

    I also would like to know how to opt for non-auto update!!
    This is reidiculous. I totaly HATE autoupdate features.
    I do all my updates manually Friday afternoons so I have the weekend to fix my MS **bleep** in case it **bleep**es up! (Not as often these days but it still happens.) There are users in need for auto update I get it. But not having the option is totally NOT ok.
    Also as a MS win 8.1 phone user I would like to know what happened to skype for windows phone? At first I was all giggly about how nice the integration with the phone and skype worked. I few bugs and some things needed some polish but a lovely total experience. Then what happend? NOTHING! The development team totally must have gone home. Today Viber is more integrated with the phone! Your contacts in the same place as you normaly would want them just for startes. COME ON MS/Skype. get back in the game PLZ!
    It would be nice if a representative for Skype would comment on this.
    Regards

  • Can you automatically start programs when you switch on your imac

    can you automatically start programs when you switch on your imac

    Yes, go to: Apple / System Preferences / User Groups / Login Items and add the Application to the list of things automatically set to start at login.
    However, you should limit it to those that you need or use, because adding a lot will needlessly slow down your startup time and use more RAM.

  • Can you change and set your own defult midi sync project settings

    Hi All,
    Can you change the default Midi Sync Project Setting so they have your own settings everytime you start up logic Pro X?
    Preferences > Midi > Sync >MIDI sync project settings
    General Default:
    Frame Rate 25 fps
    Check auto detect format of MTC
    Default required:
    Set frame rate to 29.97fps
    check 'auto detect format of MTC'
    check Enable Separate SMPTE View Offset
    MDI Default is:
    MTC and MMC  all unchecked
    Default required:
    Check 'Transmit MTC'
    Check 'Transmit MMC'
    Check 'Listen to MMC Input'
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Regards,
               Gavin.

    No, that's not what I typed above.
    The rule is... Preferences are Global, changes made in Preferences affect all Projects.
    "Settings" are on a per song basis.
    In Logic 9 (and I imagine in X as well) there are two main areas to configure Logic.
    1. Is Preferences    Preferences settings are global and affect all projects.
    2. Is Settings          Settings are set for each project, they are not global
    You typed:  Preferences > Midi > Sync >MIDI sync project settings
    See what is says, MIDI Sync Project Settings.
    Preferences has forwarded you into the Settings area so no, the MIDI Sync options are not global, they have to be adjusted for each song, that's why I suggested setting up templates of your most used project setups.

  • Can you put on songs in queue from your PC (windows) to play from another device?

    You might have stumbled upon my other topic about queue problems with my PS4, i got a response from Spotify support that didnt help much, so i tried experimenting a little. Instead of just trying to play from the ps4, i tried playing through my phone using connect. The queue-system totally messes up when trying to queue from windows, anyone else have this problem? I have actually tried with 2 laptops now. with the same result, so now i want to know what your experience is :) Can you try this out to help me? I want to know if this is ... just how it works or if its just a problem for me-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I gave the support guy an example on how things work, you dont have to read this to answer the question above, but it might enlighten my issue a bit more? =)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see by the description of the problem, i know how the connect feature works. And i know how to queue songs. I can queue songs from my mobile (sony xperia z3) when using the connect feature. I can queue songs on the ps4 app and it works without any problems. Ill give you an example.
    Example is that i play from my ps4, the pc and the phone are connected with the connect feature
    - I put on a song using my pc --> the spotify app on the ps4 starts playing music- I put a song in queue from my phone- I put a song in queue using my ps4 controller (at this point, the two songs i put on queue shows correctly up in the queue menu on spotify on PC)- I skip to next song - queue works correctly, the next song plays. I skip again and the third song plays, no problems, it works fine!- I now do the same, i put on the same two songs in queue, using my phone and my controller.- I put one song in queue from my pc (suddenly the previous songs i skipped also shows up (duplicates, since the songs i put on the other time are there too)- I press next song --- now the songs in queue are just skipped. They are still in queue, but they will not be played. The song beneath the queue list will be played instead
    This is just an example. I can disconnect my phone from connect and only use my PC and the queue problems are still there, so im guessing its some problem with the app or some setting on my PC.

  • Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?

    Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?
    I understand they are royalty free, I am just confused about using the actual loops for films, videos, etc - if there is a special license you must purchase or what?
    Yes sure, it's a library and may be used a lot - but is it legal or against agreement?
    And to clarify - what about music I create on the program , that is ok right?

    If you purchased the software you have the right to use the loops that came with the software in the software to make whatever you want.

  • Can you save your own theme and button set up so I can use the same format

    Can you save your own theme and button set up, so I can use this same format for similar content. I want to keep the button content and the theme the same without having to create it everytime? I am trying to streamline the process for multiple dvd's with the same menu and buttons but different content. Does that make sense?

    I am only new to this caper too, but I am pretty sure you can save a theme as a favourite by pressing the "save theme as favourite" button under file. If you have edited an existing theme but don't want to lose it, make sure you untick the replace existing button.
