How to keep pen and brush's setting as per layer

Hi , is there anyway to keep the pen and brush setting remember as per layer , let say i have 2 layers of different stroke setting , after i draw 1 to another , it always revert to 1pt stroke width automatically .
i want to keep all the setting : transparency , color , stroke width to be remembered in layer . Therefore, i dont need to change again or remember whenever i draw in between layers.
Thanks in advance .

Brushes have nothing to do with Layers. So no, you can't associate/restrict a given Brush to a given Layer. However, you can:
1. New document. Define two Layers.
2. Brush Tool: Draw something on Layer 1 with a Brush.
3. Brush Tool: Draw something on Layer 2 with a different Brush.
4. Appearance Palette: Set the New Art button to Maintains Appearance.
5. Press Ctrl to momentarily invoke the black pointer. Select the path you drew on Layer 1. Layer 1 becomes the active Layer and the Appearance of the object you select becomes the current Appearance.
6. Release Ctrl and draw anothet path. It is on Layer 1 and has the same Appearance of other items on Layer 1.
7. Press Ctrl, select an object on Layer 2.
8. Release Ctrl, draw another stroke on Layer 2.
...and so on.

  • I cannot stop my pen and brush tools from looking 'jagged' instead of smooth (like a zigzag pattern).  Mac user.  Thank you.

    I cannot get my pen and brush tools to look smooth instead of jagged.  They look like 'zig zag' patterns.  Using Mac/photoshopCS5.  Suggestions?  Thank you.-Lynn

    Look under Brush Tip Shape and look at the spacing settings or that spacing is not unchecked. (the default spacing is usually 25%)
    For tapered strokes set the Size Jitter under Shape Dynamics to Pen Pressure, then the size varies depending on how hard you press the pen on the tablet.

  • ITunes 11.0.4 for Windows keeps restarting and removing my set-up and preferences

    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows keeps restarting and removing my set-up and preferences every time its shut down and re-opened, how can I stop this?
    All of the music (etc) is still there but I need to agree to the terms and condition of the 'Software License Agreement for iTunes for Windows' every time I open iTunes.
    Once opened there is no personal set-up, such as side menus and how the lists are set-up (e.g showing album images, music listed in ‘most played’ order,etc etc) I know how to re-do all of my settings, Its just getting very annoying now.
    Anyone know how to stop this or at least why It is doing it?

    I found why it defaults back to the wizard. I noticed in  C:/users/(User)/AppData/Roaming/Apple  Computer/iTunes/iTunesPerfs.xml file is deleted from this directory upon  exiting iTunes. When I manully restore this file itunes starts with my  correct settings. Why the .xml file being deleted I don't know. iTunes is deleting the file when you exit so I guess there is just a bug.

  • How to vectorize pen and ink drawing

    Found a pen and ink drawing from 19th century and would like to trace it in such a way that it is 100% black and white. The copy has some grays and faint blues which should be converted to white. After that step I'd like to make the white parts transparent so they show the color of the background.
    I'd like to use Illustrator 10 since I'm trying to become proficient at it, but I also own Photoshop 7.
    Thank you.

    Alejandro,
    >I'd like to use Illustrator 10 since I'm trying to become proficient at it,
    The Pen Tool is the main tool in Illy, it is normally the right tool for tracing, and tracing is a good way to learn more about it; in some cases, you may consider the Paintbrush Tool or the Pencil Tool.
    You may obtain varying Stroke Weights by (creating and) using Brushes. Depending on the drawing, maybe the original individual strokes should be kept as individual paths.

  • How do i drag and drop onto a smart object layer in Photoshop CS 5.5

    I recently bought a 3d mock up Photoshop file as I want to mock up my designs such as business cards and other 3d items. The file notes said With a simple drag and drop on the smart object layer your design will be presented in a realistic and striking way.
    Can you tell me how I do what they are telling me to do as I have played around with the file till the cows come home and can't work out how to do it. Do I need to do the old fashioned mock up way by skewing the image to fit or is there an easier way such as the drag and drop...?
    Any help will be gratefully received,
    Thanks

    Hi here is the template PSD and then I want to put my business card design over and it says you can drag and drop as per my previous message ...

  • High Contrast themes on Windows 7&8 overwrites css styles on webpage, how do keep the High Contrast themes setting on window and use the stock CCS?

    This was not a problem for me until Windows 8 now makes it so you HAVE to use high contrast theme to be able to change the background on windows explorer. Otherwise you have to accept it always being white. If there is a windows program that allowed me to change the windows colors like you used to be able to then I would not need to use the high contrast.

    Note I have click on the Firefox button (Tools menu) and then click Options
    Select the Content panel then Click the Colors... button.
    I do have checkbox beside "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" checked.
    BUT Still
    Windows somehow overrides this. This is bugging the hell out of me. How is it what windows has any control over Firefox's controls anyways?

  • How to keep Opacity and Blending Mode values

    Hi!
    I'm working with shades/highlights and since I have to make many shapes with the same values of color, opacity, blending mode, I wonder how can I make it to keep them configured, so I dont have to go to each path and change the values every time. The only value that stays is the color, but for example, the opacity changes everytime I start a new shape with the pen tool, and as I said, I'm working with shadings for a portrait, so I have to make lots of shapes with the same characteristics. Does somebody know a way to set these values and keep them "by default" so to say??
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you, it's just what I was looking for!

  • Firefox opens Google link in the same tab (the way I like it), but I can't figure how to keep that and still have YouTube windows pop-up in a new tab. Help?

    Hello, here is my problem: reading your mozilla support, I learned how to make Firefox open links in Google results in the same tab, that's the way I like it, but I still like to have my YouTube windows pop-up in a new tab (I participate in one forum, when I come to the YouTube window in some topic, I usually click on a small right-down button "watch on YouTube", and that always opens video it in a new tab; all until latest few updates of Firefox). Can this issue be corrected in about:config feature, and how? Sorry if my English isn't so glorious.
    Thanks a lot for answering, and best regards...

    Hello. I have just tried this add-on you suggested, and no change.
    And no, there was no some other add-on before, not that I know about it. Mainly, I need this option while I'm on a forum (IP board powered), it is not really something so important, but it's neat function for me.
    So, to be more detailed - I read a certain topic on this forum, and some of the posts from other members contain YouTube screens (looking same as on the original YouTube page), showing the frame of a video.
    In earlier versions of Firefox, I used to click on a small YouTube logo button (right side, down, between "watch on full screen" and "watch later" buttons). Clicking on this button automatically opened new tab, leaving forum tab as it is, and in new tab original YouTube page, with that certain video. In the same time, in Google search page, when clicking on a link, all links were opening in the same tab.
    Now, after some of the latest updates of Firefox, I noticed that some default settings were changed - in Google search, clicking on a link always opens a link in a new tab. I have found out here on your forum how to set this back in about:config feature, and now I have again that links in a Google results page are opened in the same tab (that's the way I like it).
    But YouTube screens on this forum are now also being opened in the same tab, and that is what I don't like, and trying to change back.
    So, what I need: all links to open in the same tab after clicking, as I have it now, and YouTube screens (e. g. on this forum) to be opened in a new tab (by clicking on a small YouTube logo ("watch this video on YouTube").
    Pedantic I am, I know that, and I know that this may look silly to some people, but if there is a way to do something, please tell me.
    Thanks for answering, and best regards.
    P.S.
    Is it possible that forum updates changed my setting, and not the Firefox? Thanks again...

  • ITunes moving to new HD - How to keep Library and Playlists

    Old HD was too small so bought a bigger one. Prior to the purchase, I had already move my music to my external HD, doing the consolidate process - everything was working fine. iTunes was on my C drive in the usual doc & settings\sylvain\my music\itunes. My music was in I:\data\itunes.
    I have partitioned my new HD in C (System), D (Programs) and E (Data); I have also named my system Family during setup (as oppose to sylvain); I have loaded iTunes on my new HD in D; I have all the files from my old C drive (copied on my extrenal HD); I still have my external HD, now G. On my old HD I had iTunes 7; on the new one I loaded iTunes 8.
    How/what do I do to have all my songs/library back as well as the playlists I had?

    Some points to consider:
    i) The ITL file will be useful if-and-only-if you place your music folders/files in the *exact same spot* (Drive and Path) as it was when that ITL file was created. Having the XML file is also important.
    ii) You have an archived ITL file from iTunes7 and are now using iTunes8. This may or may mot be a problem.
    First thing to try is:
    a) Remap your ExHD from G: back to I:
    b) Make sure your music files are in "I:\data\itunes" as you had them before
    c) With iTunes closed, and the re-mapped ExHD attached and on, place your saved copy of the V7 ITL file into the folder that the new (blank) ITL file resides that V8 is using.
    d) Open iTunes - if you are lucky, it will read and convert the older version ITL file and find all your music as well as Playlists and other metadata
    If successful, you can then Consolidate the Library from the ExHD to wherever you want it to be on the new PC's HDs. Or keep the Library on the ExHD. At least make and keep backups of the music and database files.
    If the above does not work, then post back and additional help can be provided.
    Best of Luck

  • Opinions on how to keep Projects and GL in balance with each other

    We have a custom process that takes an Excel spreadsheet and allows the users to enter a Project transaction and a GL journal. We then have a program that splits the data between projects and GL and ftps the to the appropriate interface table. Within that program that splits the data, it also creates a clearing transaction for the total of the Projects dollars to be sent to GL. When Projects runs the Interface to GL, it uses Autoaccounting rules to credit the clearing account that was sent with the original entry. This is their way of keeping these specific entries in Projects and GL 'in sync'. How would you do this with standard functionality in Projects and GL? Do you have a similar business need to make an entry in GL and a matching entry in Projects? If so, how do you make those entries?
    Example:
    Projects transaction
    expenditure type 70100,
    Project 1/task1               100
    GL journal
    Account 11000                100
    Clearing account 15505          -100
    Run Distribute in PA
    AA Rule account is 15009     -100
    Run interface to GL from PA
    AA Rule account is 15505     100
    15505 is the clearing account between GL and PA.

    Hi
    If there is a logic that could be code using SQL statement, you may be able to use it to derive the AA credit cost clearing account.
    If the clearing account is not based on any rules, then you might need to continue with existing process.

  • How to keep iPad and iPod apps sync separate if you are using the same PC for backups

    Syncing the iPad and iPod using the same PC syncs the apps between the devices. How an Thisbe avoided I don't want to use the same apps in all my devices.

  • How to keep laptop and desktop separate?  Are now linked somehow

    Hi,
    I'm an idiot with computers and I'm baffled by this.  My husband has just taken over my laptop for his use.  It is synced somehow with the desktop, which I use, and I don't want it to be.  For example, he has wiped out all of my Safari bookmarks and replaced them with his own, and that's what I'm seeing on the desktop now.
    I uploaded OS-X Yosemite today on the laptop; has that changed some settings?  The desktop iMac is running OS-X 10.9.5.
    Are there some relatively simple explanations available on how to link computers in the same household, if desired, or how NOT to?
    Help, please.
    Thanks,
    reluctantuser

    Hello reluctantuser,
    It sounds like you have the same iCloud signed in on both computers. If you are using iCloud then take a look in System Preferences > iCloud and see what account is signed in. If it is not yours, sign out and delete the data and then sign in with your account to bring down that information that was associated with your iCloud account.

  • How to keep EJBs and Database Tables in sync ?

    Hello dear fellow JDeveloper 11 users,
    after i created some EJB 3 entity beans and some offline database table definitions
    i would like to get them linked to each other, and to keep them in sync.
    where do i do that? cant find it, have i missed it?
    thanks for any tips,
    thomas
    thomas.nagel (at) materna.de

    Both questions are not JDev 11 specific and work in JDev 10.1.3.x also.
    To keep entities in sync you have tell the underlying orm layer when to refresh its cache. One way for doing this is to use hints in the NamedQueries like this one
                    hints =
                    { @QueryHint(name = TopLinkQueryHints.REFRESH, value = HintValues.TRUE)Linking EJBs could be easily done (ie automagically during EJB from Tables creation) if the underlying datamodel uses foreign keys relationships.

  • How to keep podcasts and music in chronological order

    I recently got a replacement iPod after sending back my original one when the screen stopped working (would only light up white and blank) and noticed some differences compared to what I was used to with my old one. On the old one, I would combine everything I wanted to listen to into one playlist in iTunes, music, recordings I made, and podcasts, with dates so they would play in order, oldest to newest, and that imported fine. On this new iPod, I've noticed that podcasts get grouped with each other on the iPod, while other music or audio files goes to "Music", which is fine, but I can't get them to play oldest to newest- they're only grouped newest to oldest, which makes some content awkward to listen to if something is multi-part. With each podcast group the newest is at the top of the list and the only way to listen in order is to listen to them one at a time rather than simply start at the oldest one in that group and let it play automatically. Audio under "Music" has the same thing happen.
    Anyone know how to fix that- or if there even is a fix?
    Thanks!

    No fix: that's just how the Podcasts work. You can play around with the database to change dates, etc. but I don't recommend it (and it still plays newest to oldest). Go back to making Playlists if that's what you want to do.
