Blend Tool Help

After using the blend tool I want to turn the lines into paths and then outline the strokes. How do I do this? Attached are two images. One showing the image and one showing the image when selected. Only the two beginging lines have a path that is editable, how do I break this up so all the lines are editable paths.
I hope that made sense.
thanks.

Don't even bother with attachments. They get "queued" which means, as far as I can tell, nothing, except everyone must wait hours or days until the image is available for viewing. Meanwhile, since we don't see what you're trying to show us, we don't respond and your post drops lower and lower until nobody sees it or answers your question.
If you want to post an image use the Camera icon to Insert Image. If you want to post a file for downloading, like a PDF, zip, or AI file, then post it online elsewhere and instert a link.

Color blender tool and other questions

Hey. I've got Photoshop CS4, which I've been using pretty successfully for digital and pixel art, but there's still a lot to the program that's unknown to me, and trying to google up an answer isn't getting me anywhere. I've got a few questions.
Is there some sort of color blender tool in CS4? By color blender, I mean something that will easily let me pick two separate colors and generate a range of colors that are between them. The tool at http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/color-blend/ is an example of a program that does what I'm hoping Photoshop can do.
Is there a way to simultaneously view my canvas both zoomed in and at it actual size as I draw? This is mainly for pixel art, where the art close-up can look really different from the actual product. A little actual-sized canvas in the corner of my screen that updated as I made changes to the art in zoom in would save me the time I spend fiddling with magnifying glasses.
Is there was way to keep the smudge tool at full opacity? When using it, smudging edges of color onto a blank space makes them start to get transparent. As of now I just get rid of it by multiplying the layer a few times and then merging, but is there a way to disable that?
If there are no definite ways to do these things, any suggestions or guides you know of would be useful too. Thanks!

Hello!
Select the gradient tool, it is an alternate tool to the paint bucket one (Hit Shift+G until you see it replace the Paint Bucket tool)
Double-click on the gradient you see in the option bar, you will then get the gradient editor http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-77dfa.h tml
Double-click on the first color stop to get an eyedropper, sample your first color, do the same with the end one, and the second color.
Once your gradient is created, you'll be able to lay down a gradient, and pick the middle color with the eyedropper tool.

Blend tool bug?

Hi!
I am trying to make a "3D-ish" button by using the blend tool. It works fine on the first two layers-they blend together just fine. But when I try to put a third (gradient layer that is set to screen transparancy before blending) layer on top it won't work as it is supposed to. See below. What am I doing wrong?
When I drag the blend tool cursor over the button no "line" appears. Anyone knows of this "bug" or what I am doing wrong? Please help!

Looks like that object is rotated. Maybe just dragged the rounded rectangle tool in another direction when drawing that object. Use the blend tool to create the blend and click on corresponding anchors with it.

Blend tool isn't sticking to its shape

Hello, I have been having issues with using the blend tool on my object. If you look at the picture, I had one outer shape that was what I wanted shaded and a thinner shape that runs inside the other. It blends perfectly fine everywhere except at the bottom. I don't know how to explain it or what went wrong but I can't figure out how to make the blend fit inside the shape.

Well, you half fixed my problem. I deleted two points where you said and the big gap between the legs disappeared but it seemed to have broken every other part of the body. Believe me, I've been messing with adding and subtracting points now but it keeps altering between what you see in this picture and back to the big gap between the legs.
Edit: After messing around with it for awhile I got it to fit with the shape. Thanks everyone for the help. My points weren't lining up within the two shapes, I guess.

When I open Firefox there is absolutely no toolbar at the top. No 'File' 'Edit' 'View' 'Favorites' 'Tools' 'Help' buttons, no anything. Any idea's??

When I open Firefox there is no toolbar at all. I have tried deleting and then re-downloading it, but when I click on the icon on my desktop, all that comes up is a page that says "Widgets, Gadgets, RSS feeds, and more." There is no search box to surf the web, there is nothing.

Now that I've successfully downloaded FF 7.0 and the orange rectangle has appeared, I can no longer see my tools, help, etc.

I downloaded ff7.0 and the orange rectangle appeared but now I can no longer find at the top of the page my tools, help, and other things I need,
Might someone be so kind as to assist me?
Thank you,
Leeflea.

If you prefer the classic menu bar over the new combined Firefox menu, you can switch.
Tap the Alt key and choose
View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
That same menu area lets you show or hide your other toolbars.
Can you get it back to the way you want?

You can add a solid color theme to change the color of the top of the browser window, which includes the Menu Bar.

Blend tool to objects with no fill (transparency)

Is it possible to create a blend using the blend tool with one of the objects to be blended being transparent (having no fill or outline)? If not, could someone please suggest an alternate solution? I know I can do something somewhat similar with gradients but I really like the level of control blend provides.
Thanks much in advance
Joe Stavitsky

You mean, opacity of the object I'm blending "from"? But the, wouldn't the object I blend "to" still be opaque?
Thanks again
Joe
EDIT
Never mind, you're quite right - thanks so much!

I have lost the bar at the top of the screen , tools, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help, how do i get it back ,

How do I get back the File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode.

I recently lost the capability to "view" the "File, Edit, History bookmarks, tools & help" bar from the top of my screen, as well as the "Start" button on the bottom of the screen.

How do I get the "File, Edit, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help Bar to appear on my browser. I also need my "Previous Page & Next Page" arrow... and my "Start" button to appear at the bottom of my screen. I can't navigate without these.

Be sure you are not in Full Screen Mode. The F11 key will toggle Full Screen Mode on or off. If you have no Firefox toolbars, tab bar, etc., you are probably in Full Screen Mode; your Windows Taskbar (with the "Start" button) will also not be visible.
*See --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Netbooks#Full_screen
You can choose to use the Menu Bar (''File, Edit, History bookmarks, tools & help'') or the Firefox button menu in Firefox 4 and newer versions.
*See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36
The Back/Forward button (''Previous Page & Next Page" arrow'') are on the Navigation Toolbar; be sure the Navigation Toolbar is checked (to be displayed)
*See --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Back%20and%20forward%20or%20other%20toolbar%20items%20are%20missing
Windows Start button and Windows Taskbar:
*Be sure that "Auto-hide the taskbar" is '''''not checked''''' (if checked, moving the cursor pointer to the bottom of your monitor screen will cause it to slide up; it will disappear again when the cursor pointer is moved up from the bottom
*It is best to '''check''' "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" so that application windows like Firefox cannot cover it.

Weighted Blend Tool

I would like to see weighting added to the blend tool. So the user can define the spacing to be smaller on one side and further apart on the other, similar to Ease In/Out in Flash.

Yes, that's true and works great if your blend is completely straight. But if your blend follows along a more winding path it doesn't allow you to keep your original curve. In other words, in order to spread out copies at one end, you need to use the Convert Anchor Point Tool on the path and drag out a handle. This changes your path. What if the blend needs to be a certain shape? The bigger the effect you want, the more you'll end up distorting the path you want to keep.

Using blend tool to create even transitions between shapes

When I use the blend tool I notice that the blends from large to small and the distance between the objects are based upon the center of the two shapes. I blended the squares on the outside and the gaps between the blended squares aren't even. Is there a way to blend the shapes and have even gaps between the new objects?

the goal would be to create a blended square effect (or any object) to fit a stroke variation of this style
to this
and the objects would be blended again to this (filled with the squared blended pattern)
if I'm not making sense, which I'm probably not, I can show you what the pattern would look like with the uneven blended squares. It looks way off and far too spaced out between the objects by the time the stroke fades out to its final weight

What is the area up top that has edit, view,history,tools, help? and then I have another question

I lost the area on top of my page that has
edit, view, history, tools, help
what is this area called? and how do I get it
back?

You can still use/see the Menu Bar (''File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help'') if you prefer it:
*'''Temporarily display the Menu Bar''': press the ALT key for the F10 key and make your selections from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar
*'''Toggle between the Menu Bar and Firefox button'''. Do one of the following:
**NOTE:
***Menu Bar '''checked''' = Menu Bar on, Firefox button off
***Menu Bar '''un-checked''' = Menu Bar off, Firefox button on
**keyboard shortcut: HOLD the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard
**Using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars, click Menu Bar
**Using the Firefox Button: click Firefox Button > Options, click Menu Bar
**right-click on an empty space in one of the toolbars, click Menu Bar

Why does the fire fox page change, sometimes it is just an orange fire fox button and othr times it says file, edit, view History, bookmarks, tools, help? I barely learn how to run one version of the page and then it changes

Why does the fire fox page change, sometimes it is just an orange fire fox button on the top left that opens a panel with all the things listed in it and then it sometimes has a bar across the top that says File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, tools, Help? I barely get used to using one type of set up and then it changes to the other without me doing anything??
