How do I create an invisible outline

I'm working on a single color tshirt design - but i need there to be separation between the font and the graphic. I'm sure I'm not wording this correctly, but basically an invisible outline around the font so that you can identify the difference between the font and the graphic. A screenshot is below. I'm tying to show a break between the font and the crown of thorns. Any suggestions?

Hello Mhogg.
Try this.
If they are two separate elements, select the oval design, expand and give a white stroke outline e.g. 0.5mm.
Or...
If the element is separate, and with the stroke set to your desired width, expand again and select the outline stroke and delete, this will then leave a space where the stroke was.

  • QUICK QUESTION: how do you create letter designs in Photoshop or Illustrator to acrylic cut?

    I don't want to create this exact design but this is what I am looking to do. I want to cut and design acrylic and i was told to use photoshop or acrylic but I am not exactly sure how to do this. If you would like to help, We could just use the simple word: "bunny". How do I create that black outline as well?

    Illustrator is probably the better program to do something like that in.  However I don't have Illustrator and Photoshop has layers, text tools, fonts, layer styles and shape layers. CS6 even let you convert text into shape layers.  So something like that would not be that difficult to create in Photoshop.  You may want to look at  Linked Letters [Logo or Monogram ]which was done before CS6 at that time Text Layers could not be converted to shape layers.

  • How do you create a double coloured outline on a font? e.g The Lego Logo has black and yellow

    I am trying to make my sons birthday invitation and he is having a Lego themed party... how do I create the black and yellow outline on the font. I have downloaded the LegoThick font... but because its an outline font and not white, the outline is only black and if I change it to yellow the black obviously changed too...oh and I cant get the font filled in white.. HELP. LOL

    Obi-wan,
    A picture might be worth a thousand words, but to be useful this one requires an explanation of how you did it.
    This is very easy using multiple strokes in Illustrator, not so much in ID, but it can be done with a custom stroke style of type Stripe using half the width for the stroke and half for the gap. Fill the text with [Paper], then apply the stroke in Black with Yellow gap, or Yellow with Black gap (depending on which side of the stroke is gap). Is that what you did?

  • How do I create an outline around text please

    hi all, How do I create an outline around text please
    thanks,

    You can see here that you can simply apply a stroke to live text by double clicking the stroke icon in the bottom left of the toolbar and selecting a color. I chose red.
    If you select the text, then go to Type > Create Outlines, you get more options in the stroke palette, like whether the stroke is aligned to the outside or inside of the text object's boundary. The text below is outlined with the stroke aligned to the outside.

  • How to create a drag outline while using custom drag source.

    Hi All,
    I am creating a plugin using sdk for cs2 in windows. I need to create a text frame on the document when I drag a text widget from a panel. I am using a custom drag source controller for the same and not dragsource as I am performing more requirements. This does not create a drag outline region. There is a method called 'DoMakeDragOutlineRegion' in the Basicdragdrop example provided in sdk. But it does not draw any outline. Is there something missed out in this example or do I need to add anything more to this existing code? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Pirathip.

    The BasicDragDrop example is misleading and as you found leaves out the interesting parts. E.g. that drop feedback drawing which is of course not factorised for reuse. Good news though, you should only need to go that far for own flavors (e.g. drop a color from color panel).
    Unless you give more details on those "requirements" you better make the best out of a target flavor helper.
    If you need custom drawing, search the SDK for keywords like ISprite, ITracker, HitTest ...

  • How to reflect variable price in outline agreement

    We procure many very complex tools that have options which significantly affect the price of that tool.  We would like to be able to reflect those price differences in the outline agreement by option within the following boundary conditions.
    1. Do not want to create a new material master for each option
    2. Do not want to utilize BOM
    3. We are buying the tool so sales order solutions won't work for us
    I have looked at configurable materials where I set up characteristics to reflect the options but I have not been able to figure out a way to price those individual options.  I do see how I could create multiple line items on the outline agreement for the same material and put unique combinations of the option characteristics in individual lines but that means I have to create a line item per option combination permutation which is much more painful than simply pricing individual options.  I also haven't seen any way to get SAP to select the correct line item based on these characteristics when doing source selection on the PR or PO.   I have started looking at variant pricing but that is completely new to me and I am not sure if that is going to go in the direction I want.  My fear is that this just allows me to price a combination of characteristics vs. pricing individual characteristics then combining the prices at the time of purchase (no different that having to create an OA line item per option combination permutation).  My apologies in advance for the convoluted message but it is difficult to ask about solutions when you are not sure what functionality potentially exists.
    Thanks,
    Ben

  • How do I create a Rubber Stamp effect?

    If you are familiar with the font "Ink Pad", this is the effect I want to use on an object.  It has the real rough looking edges of a rubber stamp.  How can I create this effect with Illustrator?

    Hello Kelly,
    Here is a method that I use:
    First place a photo of a wall or floor and use "Live Trace" default
    You will end up with a black and white texture like this:
    Then Select all the white areas and delete them. If you have a lot of black texture, feel free to delete as much as you want. You can always copy and paste pieces wherever you want.
    Now Place your design on top of the texture you have created. Then send the design to the back.
    The last step is to select the outlined text and the compound shapes and apply "Subtract From Shape Area" with Pathfinder. Please note that this option does not work on CS3 from the menu (one of the hundred of bugs of this lousy version), so please use the Pathfinder Window.
    And this is the end result:
    This was a quick sample, but I am sure you can do something a lot better than this sample. I think the difficult part is to get a good photo. Maybe next time I will use a damaged concrete floor or wall photo.
    I hope this helps!

  • How do I create an image like this?

    Completely new to PS. How would I create an image like this with text? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151570901245020&set=pb.50687255019.-2207520000.1 366989903.&type=3&theater

    Hi there,
    Are you referring to the text, the color effect, or both?
    Adding type is very easy - just grab the Type Tool from the tool bar. The article linked above provides some great tips for editing type in Photoshop.
    As is the case with many "how to's" for Photoshop, there are several ways to acheive the colorized effect like the one applied to image you linked to. One method is to use Adjustment Layers, which I have outlined below.
    1. With your image layer active (it will be highlighted in blue in your Layers panel, as shown below), create a selection of the area you'd like to colorize. I'm using the Polygonal Lasso Tool to create a diagonal selection - to do so, I held down the Shift key on my keyboard as a created my diagonal lines. This might take a bit of practice, but you'll get the hang of it quickly.
    2. Then, in your Adjustments panel (if you don't see it, go to Window > Adjustments), click on the Curves adjustment layer, as highlighted below. Now you can play around with the curves to get the effect you'd like. (Here's a quick guide on using the Curve tool)
    3. To select the other areas of your image, command (Mac) / control (PC) click on the adjustment layer thumbnail (highlighted below). Then, go to Select > Inverse.
    4. Now we want to deselect part of our selection. Grab the Quick Selection Tool from the toolbar and set it to Subract from selection. Then, simply drag the selection brush over the area you want to deselect. In my case, I only want to have the upper-left corner of my image selected.
    5. After you have your selection, click on the image layer and add a Curves adjustment layer like before.
    6. Repeat steps 3-5 for the other corner of your image and you should end up with something like this:
    The nice thing about using adjustment layers is that you can always change them - just double click on the Adjustment layer thumbnail (highlighted in step 3).
    Alternatively, you can select areas of your image and fill the selections with flat colors on separate layers. You can then go in a change the Blend Mode and Opacity for each layer.
    Feel free to reply with any questions!

  • How would I create a wheel shape

    Hi, I am new to Illustrator
    I was wondering how I would create this shape in Illustrator CS3
    I have scanned this in in Photoshop but it ain't pretty. I need a clean full version with no gaps and slightly rounded corners. I would be grateful if someone could take the time to explain step by step. Thanks in anticipation

    Pie Chart Method this will give you a general idea it requires expanding and use of the another ellipse and deleting path segments.
    It is a long story but takes only about ten minutes because you will make some mistakes. And in the end I outlined the strokes
    Here is the transform way using two strokes acting as radii and overlapping two concentric circles using the path finder or Live Paint features.
    Coloring some stroke with a color of none. You can then expand that. I don't have a screen shot of this method.
    Here is with the Polar grid it would really be good that made geometry like this that could easily be updated I think they are called primitives.

  • How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?

    How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?
    I need to make a popup in flash on the same frame. Basiclly like you reach the frame and randomly (I know how to do random stuff) a popup might appear saying like you got a prize; and I want the stuff in the back to stay the same.
    Please help me!
    Thankx in advance.

    Whatever frame you intend to make this movieclip appear in, you first set it to be invisible using...
    popupName._visible = false; // popupName is whatever instance name you use
    And for whatever random code you use to trigger it to appear you just set the _visible property to be true...
    popupName._visible = true;

    Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

  • How do i create a fitness countdown in motion 5 similar to p90 x or insanity?

    How do I create a fitness countdown in motion 5 that is similar to p90 x or insanity?

    Google my friend...
    I think this is what you want... made this in a few secs.
    Library... Generators... Timecode.
    Set the text properties for the Timecode text. Use a mono space text, Courier. Turned off background color if you wish.
    Clone the Timecode layer (turn off the original Timecode layer)
    Properties... Timing... Reverse.
    As for the bar graph... There probably a right way to do this and I probably didn't do it right. I just made a bar graph with an outline and fill, duped it. The top bar graph with outline no fill, bottom bar graph fill no outline. Keyed the bottom bar graph to travel from right to left. Cloned the bar graph layer and placed a mask (revered) to cover the red bar as it traveled to the right. You can add tick marks with text to the bar graph.

  • How do you change the tab outline color

    How do you change the tab outline color?  I wish to use a black style on my test program but the tab features have a white edge on the top and left sides to try and give a 3d look.  I've tried playing with the windows style but had no success.  Does anyone know how to remove this or change the color?  The closest I have got so far is setting a windows 7 basic theme which removes the 3d look.  This does however give a white background on the tab pages which I cannot find a way of changing in either CVI or windows.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Solved!

    Chris,
    Unfortunately, this border is only customizable through the Windows theme. Changing the theme to the basic is likely going to be the closest to what you are looking for without creating a custom theme for Windows.
