Dots at the Ends of Brush Strokes?

I just uprgraded to CS4 from CS3 and there's a problem with the brushes that I can't seem to figure out. I have the brush set to pen pressure, and at the end of each stroke, there's a dot. Like this:

I thought it may have been my drawing tablet, but CS3 worked fine. Is there anything I can do to make the brush strokes smooth?

Sorry. Does this work?

How to put dots at the end of dmee line instead of blanks?

dear all,
i have a question about dmee, one customer needs just a line in the dmee has dots at the end instead of blanks.
This field has 36 chars. when it is filled with fpayh-zstra, the blank fields should be dots instead, and they want this just for a line, it should not effect the other lines.
example;
afi this is the current situation
afi……………… this is what is expected.

Is fpayh-zstra fixed length?
Regarding DMEE Tree you have several options to do that.
One way would be to use a conversion function
There are other ways but let us know if you can do it with this one.

Three dots at the end of my Node userObject

I'm having a little trouble with my JTree. In my application I wrote some commands to change the String display of some Tree Nodes that are part of my tree. What I use is the method setUserObject( Object ex ) and everything goes fine, the change is made, but there is something annoying happening : the String ( that is the type of user object of all my nodes ) is changed for another String only 2 characters longer, but there are 3 dots that are added at the end of it, and the String is then not complete... here's an example :
Node UserObject display BEFORE getting modified : aloha
Node UserObject display AFTER getting modified : aloh...
But I have to say that when the user of the application expands the node with the incomplete display, then the display becomes complete (and the 3 dots are retired). If there is somebody who knows the answer or had already have this problem, please answer.
thanks,

Thanks for your help buddy, your solution rocks, really!

Showing 3 moving dots at the end of a line (For example like: Copying files...) (WinForms/C#)

Hi,
I need to show 3 moving dots (indicating some task is going on) at the end of a label. Its in general, showing first dot, then 2 and then 3 and again back to one dot. How can I do this? Is this something like having a label and showing one dot in the beginning
and eventually showing more dots as the clock ticks (at a constant rate)?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Prasad

Hi
Here is some VB code to do what you ask (only, it counts up to 6 dots)
Public Class Form1
Dim lbText As String = "This is some text"
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
With Me.Timer1
.Interval = 200
.Enabled = True
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Static c As Integer = 0
Select Case c
Case 0
Me.Label1.Text = lbText
Case 1
Me.Label1.Text &= " ."
Case 2, 3, 4, 5
Me.Label1.Text &= "."
Case Else
Me.Label1.Text &= "."
c = -1
End Select
c += 1
End Sub
End Class

BRUSH STROKE in/out configuration WON't WORK why ?

I use photoshop for years now, I'm not a noob.
I've been trying to fix this problems since I started to use it, but I HAVEN't found a single solution to it !
I customized the brush strokes to have a thin STROKE out/in but every time i get these bumps at the end of a stroke
I reinstalled the program a couple of times, and it's not only photoshop CS6, every photoshop has this problem.
But when I try another drawing program, there it works fine. SO I DON't KNOW WHAT TO DO.
PLEASE HELP ME !!!

thanks for the list of all shortcut keys -
exemple for MixUp: I click Shift+F5 in order to get the unsharp mask and end up with the Fill window...
Most of the simple shortcut work just fine - and now I have even figured out how to add my own shortcuts to the list So I might be even able to fix my MIXUP......
Thanks, you helped me a lot.
Best, Bee.

"UNDO" & "BACKWARD" not working for brush strokes?

After making three consecutive brush strokes in my image:
Click on Undo once, History list backs up one step, but last stroke remains on screen. Press Undo again (Redo) and History list returns to last position, last stroke is still on screen. Click Undo again, History list backs up one step, but now brush stroke disappears as it should.
Or, after clicking Undo the first time, the brush stroke will disappear if I apply another stroke or enter a command, e.g. add new layer.
After making three consecutive brush strokes:
Use Backwards command, the History list backs up one step, but brush stroke remains on screen. Use Backwards command a second time, History list backs up another step, the last two brush strokes disappear from screen. Use Backwards a third time, History list backs up another step (now 3 steps total), and the first brush stroke disappears as it should.
These commands work fine when creating three consecutive layers, then undoing or moving backwards.
I am using CS 5.1 for Mac running OS Lion 10.7.4. This problem occurs using either a trackball, Wacom Intuos4 tablet or keyboard shortcuts. Can this be a screen-draw bug in the brush tool? Thanks.

I still don't know what Vertical Sync pertains to relative to OpenGL Settings. Anyone know? Thanks.
Only Adobe knows the exact implementation under the covers, but what it conceptually does is prevent display updates in the middle of a scan.
Keep in mind that what you see on the screen is sent pixel by pixel, row by row, to the monitor - much as it was done in the time of CRT displays and scanning electron beams, even though today most have LCDs.
Once the last pixel at the bottom has been sent, there is a time called the "vertical sync" time where nothing is sent, before the "scan" starts again from the top.
Setting the "Vertical Sync" option is supposed to limit display updates to only occur only during the vertical sync time.
As Conroy has said, this generally can make a display seem cleaner, as when moving something around you might see part of it moved more than another part without Vertical Sync. This is called "tearing" (as in "tearing a piece of paper in two and having the two parts not line up").
By definition the Vertical Sync option setting causes a difference in the timing and the sequence of display operations, and that may be working around a bug in the display driver on your system. It sounds kind of far-fetched, but it happens more than you might think. Adobe provides all these options to help work around problems.

How do I align stroke brushes on path starting at the end of a path?

Hello,
I made a path with no fill and a stroke. I copied this path in place and made a "brush-arrowhead" as you can see in the image below. This allows me to get a look that arrays my arrowhead across the entire path. My issue is that where I started the path (not show in image), the brush applies the first "arrowhead" brush (which I created) at the beginning of my path. As you can see, the end of the path doesn't look so nice because the arrowhead brush does not end evenly based on the varying distances of each path. I would like my paths to end with an arrowhead, yet still have this "array" look.
Simply put, is there a way I can dictate which end of my path (end point or start point) my brush "arrowhead" begins from?
Many thanks,

To answer your questions need to know who you made a brush arrowhead.
The default arrowhead are specifically designed with a bounding box designed to not have this problem, and even have this option
You are wanting arrows in the middle of a line so would recommend a scatter brush.
And a stacked appearance with 2 strokes.
Though you may not like who the dashes are lining up here so if you go back to the first method I show, you can do a few paths too get this.

Scale a Paint's "path" without distorting the Brush "strokes"?

Anyway to scale a Paint Brush "stroke's" "path" along only one axis without distorting the brush strokes?

Besides having no idea what you're trying to say, I don't think you're considering the problem.
Here's the same issue, solved with regards lines and their strokes distorting:
scale a line, not it's outline/stroke...
That's a particularly cool trick.
But I don't see anything similarly possible with Paint Brush based "strokes".
Please, consider that this is what I'm "painting" the line with, so I'd like the circles (dots) to not distort into ovals when scaling the path in only one dimension, see my answer at bottom:
Small Circles (dots) on a path instead of dashes?

Drawing brush stroke lines w/ tapered ends at any angle

I'm trying to match the style of an illustration done by someone outside my company; all the lines taper at both the ends like an actual brush stroke, but when I used the brush tools I have to change the angle to get the tapered look - is there a trick to this? It's not efficient to have to stop and change the angle of the tool for every stroke -

After you change the angle once, choose apply all strokes.
If that is not working, have you tried using profile in the stroke palette.

Scaling just the end tile of pattern brush

Hi list...
Is it possible to scale or transform just the end tile of a pattern brush without scaling the rest of the brush along the path?
thanks,
- Mike

Duplicate the Brush. Have one Brush contain the side tile artwork; have the other Brush contain the end tiles. Apply two Strokes in the Appearance Palette. Use one Brush for each Stroke. Now you can adjust the end tiles separately from the side tiles without resorting to expanding the Brush artwork, because they are separate Brushes.
Use the 2-stroke Appearance to define a Graphic Style to make the combination easy to apply to additional objects.

The 'none' button automatically clicks when I do a brush stroke?

Whenever I try to make a brush stroke with a color, the color swatch switches to the box with a line through it and the color of the stroke turns grey. My scale is RGB not grey, I already checked. what do I do?

laur,
It sounds as if the Layer were permanently converted to Grayscale or something.
If no brighter solution comes up, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How does one make very large brush strokes of several inches wide. I could do this in the previous version of Apurture.

I just upgraded my Aperture app but now it will not allow me to make inches wide brush strokes when I need to lighten, darken or other adjustments. In the previous version I could make inches wide adjustments. I really need to do this again. How can I do this?

The brush size is measured in pixels. The maximum is 1,000 px. If you have any pixel-filtering turned on, the maximum size drops to 200 px. In the Brush HUD, make sure "Detect Edges" is un-checked, and that "Brush Range" is "All".

Why cant i adjust the size of the brush strokes in CS4

so i got the trial of CS4 and when i try to adjust the size of the brush stroke it is grayed out and i cant use it. also with the pencil tool i cant adjust the amount of smoothing i want (which is none) whats up with this? i never had any problems with MX2004

Hi Jillian,
You can probably solve this problem by increasing the Top Margin in the Document Inspector. Have you tried this, and did it cause you any problems?

What is the quickest way to paint a straight brush stroke that is NOT on 90 or 180 degrees?

I do perspective drawing for interior designers and do the colouring in Photoshop. Think of old fashioned painting with a brush/copic marker against a ruler to get a straight line, but with varying thickness or opacity. I would like the same effect in Photoshop.
The closest that I have come is to press Shift before the brush stroke. That constrains the stroke, makes a very neat line AND allows me to vary the line/brush thickness as I paint.
Often the lines may need to be at an arbitrary angle which is NOT 90 or 180 degrees. The only way I know of for getting that brush stroke in the correct position is to make sure that each stroke is on a separate layer. Select the stroke/transform/rotate. Quite a few steps as opposed to the one it takes to draw the line in the correct position and angle with a brush/ copic marker on paper.
This becomes time consuming and difficult once you have many lines to paint and if you need to be accurate (as with perspective drawing). If you are working on a very large canvas the point of rotation can sometimes be very far from where you are working (i.e. on a vanishing point) and difficult to see without a lot of Zooming and moving around on the canvas.
To Stroke a path with the brush gives an unrealistic and even line thickness which does not look hand painted.
Any suggestions?
Has anyone ever used a ruler while drawing on a Cintiq? That may give the desired effect and be much quicker than selecting and rotating.

Thank you R_Kelly! Though it is still a bit tricky judging the angle as you rotate the page, your workaround is actually a bit quicker than having to rotate each line individually.
This allows me to see the line as it develops in place and I also don't necessarily need to create a new layer for each new brush stroke, if I work carefully. Very close to placing the ruler on the work space before drawing a line!
Thank you!

When I use my brush tool, it works fine unless I overlap the brush with another brush stroke.

When I use my brush tool, it works fine unless I overlap the brush with another brush stroke. When that happens it turns bright red. How do I fix this and turn it back to the default setting?

I was all ready to say you have fill turned down until I got to the bit about it turning red. Does this happen on a new document with a single layer, or only on multi layer documents? So like cp says... brush or layer mode most probably. I did wonder about Quick mask though.
