Freehand drawing with curve support

Hi there,
I have here a more complicated question. Maybe you can follow me.
Is there a way within PS to support freehand drawings. What I mean is a support in that way which makes hand drawed curves more smooth. You know what I mean. I think Marcomedias Flash does such things. Is this also in PS availible?

Not that I know of. Since PS does not draw Bezier curves, there is no way to smooth them. Any curvature in PS is merely a result of the stepping and accumulation while drawing the strokes. Maybe it does some smoothing on the fly under the hood, but not in the way you can in other Adobe apps.

Drawing a curved line using the pen tool, dragging the text cursor over the line but will only give me a small area to write in, in-between a circle and a circle with a cross in?

If you change your tool to the "Direct Selection Tool" (A) then you should be able to adjust the area for you to type in...

How to make an applet with curved edges in the browser

Hi all,
I m doing an applet application in which i want to show an image inside a player in the website. The edges of the player is designed in curved shape. So i too wanted to do an applet with curved edges. Otherwise my applet and the images are coming out of the player... do any body have come across such a problem. please give me some suggestions. Awaiting for your suggestions and solutions. If u don't understand what i m trying to say let me know..
Thanks...

I tried to get the screen height -1 and subtract from
all the ys in my applet but it doesnt work all the
time. I am drawing shapes and stuff with an algorithm
I wrote for class.
is there a way to get origin(0,0) to the lower left
screen easily.
thanksThe only way I can think of would be write a method to convert a "normal" y coord to an applet y coord. That would probably end up being a huge pain in the ass, since you would have to pass all y coords through it before using them, so I suggest you just get used to y being upside down.

Drawing with an Arrow Symbol

I want to draw a curving, curling path of cursor arrows, all following one another in “single file” in the same direction, from one end of the path to the other. How can I do this?

tparkerwest,
If understood in the right way, you may create the cursor shape and turn it into a Scatter Brush (with a suitable Spacing in %, and with Rotation relative to > Page to avoid their turning to follow the varying local directions of the path).

Delayed live screen drawing with tools in Photoshop. Video driver update?

Delayed live screen drawing with tools in Photoshop CS5 on my iMac running system 10.6.7.
Hi there. Recently, I've been having issues with the tools. There's a distinct DELAY in the live drawing. For example, if I open a random image, take the pencil, paintbrush, or even eraser tool, and I draw a large line across the image, I don't see anything. If I zoom in or out 1 click, I see the line. If I draw ANOTHER line, same thing - I need to zoom in or out to see it. With all of the tools. I've never had this issue before and it's incredibly frustrating (that might be an understatement as you can imagine - I use PS daily as I am a full-time designer.) Any ideas or solutions? I've already TRASHED my preferences and reset the tool. If it IS a driver issue (which is weird, because this issue just recently started happening) I contacted the driver manufacturer (AMD) and was told:
"Unfortunately, Apple does not authorize us to release drivers for their products.
All drivers are provided to Apple who then customize and release them to their customers.
You will need to contact Apple to obtain the most current drivers for your product."

You are correct - only Apple can deliver display drivers to you. That's what you get with a Mac as Apple wants to be your "one stop shop" for support..
Just curious: Are you painting with large brushes and very small Spacing values? That can cause some delay, though it normally catches up on its own - you don't have to do anything to make it happen.
Have you tried disabling OpenGL Drawing in your Photoshop Edit - Preferences - Performance menu. Restart Photoshop after making that change and before testing.

Drawing with a graphics tablet in Flash

Hey community!
I recently got the newest version of Flash and wanted to do some drawing with my graphics tablet, but whenever i try to draw a freehand line, using the pencil or paintbrush tool, then for some reason, it draws a straight line leading to the bottom left side of the screen, and i have no idea why it is doing this.
When i use the tablet to draw in Photoshop, then it works absolutely fine, but not in Flash
Any help will be lovely!!
Thank you

Hi,
The issue is resolved in the latest update of Flash Pro.Please update Flash professional to 14.1.0.96 .Follow the instruction below for the same :
Installation instructions
Log out and log in to the CC desktop application. Update the application when prompted.
You should see the list of new updates as soon as the new CC desktop application is launched.
Install Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging app. On a high speed connection, it took me around 8 minutes.
After the application is installed, you can launch the application directly from the desktop app by clicking on it.
Thanks & Regards,
Sangeeta

Drawing Custom Curves, Shapes, S Shapes, etc.?

How do I draw symmetric curves, custom shapes, S shapes, etc?
I am a beginner, and I have PSE 6. I can upgrade to version 8 or use plugins if necessary. I’ve been googling this, but is the pencil the same as the pen? Where are the Paths options?
--> My question is I am wanting to create custom shapes. For example, a half circle curve, or an S shape. How do I do that? I’d rather not use the Marquee tool.
Attached is an example of a curve that I want to reproduce.
Thanks for any help.

No, the pen tool is only in Photoshop. The best you can do in Elements is download shapes that have been made in Photoshop or draw out a shape and either add or subtract from the shape. You don't have a paths palette either although they exist just not accessible as in Photoshop. You'd have to save the shape file for reuse as you can't define custom shapes in Elements.
Type custom shapes Photoshop and you will probably find the shape you need in one of the many freeware sets out there. They'll say for Photoshop but you can install and use them in Elements.
For the shape of the .bmp file you posted, you can cut a rectangle shape with a circle.
1. Draw out a rectangle with the rectangle shape tool.
2. Press the subtract icon in the options bar.
3. Draw out a circle to remove the unwanted area.
4. Save the file as a PSD with a name you can remember so you can use it whenever needed.
Note: The shape will be still be vector provided you saved as a PSD so it can be resized without degrading it.
If you hover over the icons, tool tips will display telling what each one does. Here's an image of the icons you're looking for in the options bar in step #2.
Example of shape cutting...path lines are present because I haven't clicked away from the layer before taking the screen shot but useful as it shows how I cut the shape. To get the curve centered, it would be helpful to add some grids. I didn't use them in the image below and you can see I'm a little off center.

HT5886 Switch Control "freehand drawing"?

"Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even freehand drawing." How can switch controls be used for freehand drawing?

Hi Hermant0010
We have seen this behaviour too and we are trying to track down what causes it to occur. (I manage a number of idevices for use with persons with tetraplegia - hence my keen interest in switch control)
What switch devices are you using? I see you have two switches attached?
Also you are using an iphone with iOS7. We have upgraded to 8.
I am not sure how we get this case out of the iPod section - maybe start a new one in an iOS stream?

Drawing a curved line

Okay, so I feel like this is a really stupid question, but how in the world can you make a line curved? I've inserted a line as a shape and want to make it curved (similar to the curve in the Apple Demo with the moving airplane -- I'm trying to do something like that). I know how to make the objects move, but I want the path to show. An earlier post said to draw the path first and then create the path to match that. That's fine and doable, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to draw a curved line!

You use the Pen tool, found at the bottom of the Shapes dropdown menu, to draw a curve. Select the pen, then click on the slide to put down the starting point of your curve. Next, click and hold where you want your curve to end, and drag away from the endpoint that is created. You should see two grey "handles" sprout from that endpoint, with your cursor at the end of one of them. The point you have created is a Bezier control point, and the handles control the angle and depth of the curve. Hit Escape to finish. (Your curve will likely be filled -- you can adjust this in the Graphic Inspector.)
One Bezier point will produce a curve that only curves one direction. To create a more complex curve with multiple inflections, you will need to add more points. Select your curve, and in the Format menu, under the Shape flyout menu, choose "Make Editable". You should now see your two endpoints in red. If you hold down the Option key and click on the path, you will add another control point. Double-clicking on the point will toggle it from a corner point to a Bezier control point.
Bezier curves can seem complicated at first, but this is an extremely powerful way of creating arbitrary shapes, including complex curves.
(Note that the paths in the Motion Action are also Bezier curves.)

I have had to erase my disk since then with trouble with Apple Store not recognising my machine and the reload from Time Machine has given complications . Can you please cancel my trial and return my Trial money.

If you paid for what you used then it was not a trial.

Dvi to hdmi with sound support

I was looking for a way to watch movies from my MBP (mid-2011 13") on a HD LCD TV, and I found an HDMI port in the back of the TV. I went to the Apple store and picked up a Kanex "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (with sound support)." The picture looks great, but there's no sound. Is there a switch I need to activate somewhere that turns on the sound for the DVI port? Do I need to set anything on the TV?

Try going to System Preferences > Sound and chose your TV as an output source. Also, go into Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup and in the left side of the window chose the output source. If these don't work then you may have a problem with your TV, it may not support audio from a HDMI cable. In that case you could use a Digital Optical Cable (TOSlink) with a 3.5mm adapter for the headphone jack of your Mac and plug that into your TV (if it has a Optical Output).

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,thanks, Derek

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek
