How do I add effects to lines?

I have a map of Manhattan that has been boiled down to just vector lines of the roads. I'm trying to add effects to the lines to kind of stylize the map.  I'm trying to create effects similar to the this example that I found online.  The photo below was probably NOT created in Illustrator.

If you are trying to get create the colored blurry brushstrokes, suggest you create that in phothsop.
Though only way to create this in Ilustrator wouinvolves using bitmapped effects (motion blur, watercolor), but your file would very slow in the end.
I would copy and paste your vector lines as a smart object into photoshop. In Photshop make paint in the color part (mixer brush may be good for this). Turn visibility off for your smart object layer, and place this into Illusutrator, set your black lines in Illustrator to overprint or multiply.
Might also look good if you bitmap the black lines in Photshop, for a more unform look to the softness of the illustration.

  • How can I add the cc line to my emails from iphoto

    I want to use the email in my iphoto program to email an invitation to a large group of people, but how do I add the cc line in my header of the email?

    You can't.  For a cc or bcc field you will have to use the regular Mail client.  However, Mail does have some photo stationary if you like the fancy iPhoto presentation of photos in the emails:

  • Using `n how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?

    hi friends
    using `n   how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?
    PS C:\> $env:COMPUTERNAME | add-content c:\file.txt
    PS C:\> $Env:USERDOMAIN  | add-content c:\file.txt
     i tested "$env:computername`n`n`n$env:userdomain" | add-content c:\file.txt   but it results in 
    myPCMyDomain
    but i wanted the contents of the output file be like this:
    MyPC
    #empty line here 
    #empty line here
    MyDomain
     i tested many other forms but didn't work.
    thanks

    I tried it, as well. The line breaks were respected in the PowerShell console, Programmer's Notepad, and Word; they weren't in Notepad.
    You are using a Unicode file.  Locale is what?
    If you just want notepad compatible line breaks then do this:
    del file.txt ; "$env:computername`r`n`r`n`r`n$env:userdomain" | add-content file.txt ;notepad file.txt
    Look in hex to see that `n is ^L or 0xA and is only one character.  CrLf is 0xD 0xA - two characters.
    My programmers editors and VS all understand a single ^L as a line break so does PowerShell.  Only DOS/Notepad and other utilitis don't understand this..
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    detail steps.
    Click the chart to display the Chart Data pane.

    Thanks,
    Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
    For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
    in a supported way?

  • How can I add a third line of text to a title?

    I am making a music video for my highschool students to teach about recycling and I want to add a title to the bottom with the song title, the name of the ficticious band and the ficticious record label.
    I have tried to add the third line of text, but I can't seem to figure out how. the title needs to be superimposed on the actual video, so adding in a clip created in photoshop or something won't work. Think about the titles you'd see at the begginning and end of a music video, and that's pretty much what I am going for.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    PS this is my first post and my first mac, so be gentle

    It does.
    The whole trick is to use a transparent background and using .png as file-format for your superimposed graphics:

  • How do I add a second line at home?

    I've been trying to find the answer to this question online and have struck out. Verizon's website says that to add a second line at home you can log into your account, go to "My Profile," click on "Lines & Accounts," and then click on "Add Second Line" (or something like that....unfortunately today Verizon's online support system is claiming that online support is not offered in Virginia). When I go to "Lines & Accounts," however, it does not give me the option to add a line—it will only allow me either to de-register my current phone number from online account access or to register another billing number for online access.
    At the moment I am not certain I actually want to order the second line—I just want to price it out to determine whether I would rather get a second line or switch to VOIP service with dry loop DSL. This is why I'd rather run through my options online instead of having to call customer service—it's easier and more efficient to be able to view the options on the screen instead of having to take notes while talking to someone.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to price this out online? Verizon's site has been the target of much profanity from me due to the apparent absence of this feature and due to this utterly ASININE statement that appears when I try to get online support: "Select a Service for Online Help/Verizon does not offer this service in Virginia. You can search or browse Phone Support for the services." I mean, come on, is that some sort of joke??!!
    (I use a Bang & Olufsen two-line cordless phone system tied to a BeoLine base unit, and I've already confirmed that the phone jack into which the BeoLine is plugged is indeed wired for two lines. So that's not an issue.)

    Hello, 
    I've already seen your post on StachExchange and answered you there. So here's the answer: 
    All you need to do is to add solid to the border-bottom property, so it would look like this:
    .groupheader {
    padding-left: 10px !important;
    padding-right: 5px !important;
    border-bottom: 1px #000000 solid ;

  • How do I add a new line to an already open but exhausted PO?

    Hello,
    I am looking for way(s) I can add a new line to an already open  PO, (whose funds are exhausted) to accomodate unplanned expenses related to the same project/vendor.  Is adding a new line to the original purshase requisition the right way to go?
    Thank you
    Fatima
    Edited by: Fatima Imraan on Jul 4, 2008 8:05 PM

    Hi Fatima,
    For unplanned expenses we actually do not need additional line item.
    In case the invoice from vendor shows other expenses then in MIRO there is a TAB for Unplanned Expenses and we can put such expenses there. These expenses should be with in the tolerances limits set. Now if the expenses cross the limit, depending on the settings you have made, the invoice is posted but blocked for payment. Then some one in the approval list should approve the same and the payment can be made.
    This whole process also gets recorded as PO history and hence is very well documented as well
    Normally once a PO is signed it is binding on both parties. So as a Business Process we should not try to add a line item when the PO is exsausted.
    In such case i think it would be a good idea to either create a new PO.
    Some times companies aslo use OPEN PO if it is a year round activity.
    Hope my explanation is useful. assign points if yes.
    Thanks

  • How do I add space between lines of text in the same cell on Numbers 3.0.1

    I just updated to Mavericks 10.9. In numbers, I used to be able to uncheck a box in the inspector that would make it so the Return key did not move to the next cell, but instead allowed me to add more space between lines of text in the same cell.
    How can I do this in the new version of numbers?

    HI ilb,
    Numbers 3 is a complete rewrite of the application. This preference option hasn't (yet) been included, but N3 is very much a 'work in progress. A word to Apple via Provide Numbers Feedback asking to have this option included in Numbers 3 might be a useful step. You'll find Provide Numbers Feedback in the Numbers menu in Numbers.

  • How do I add effects on the new garage band

    On the old garage band i could double click on a track and i had a side bar of effect such as:
    Reverb
    Distortion
    Overdrive
    In the new update it appears they have gotten rid of this and i wondered if there is still a way of doing it.
    Please help. Thanks

    These effects have been moved to the Smart Controls:
    Open the Smart Controls for a track, click the button to show the Info pane, drag the dividing line to the track area to make the pane larger. scroll it up, until you are seeing the "Plug-ins".

    Maybe something along the lines of detecting mouse dragged with a MouseListener, saving the origin of the mouse click and then keep drawing a line from the origin to the current location of the mouse. Probably by calling repaint() and then override the paintComponent() method to draw the line.
