What ever color i choose to draw the line it appear grey....this is getting frustration...and wasted alot of time to figure out what bug photoshop has

and wasted alot of time to figure out what bug photoshop has
Do you even know the meaning of the term "bug"? Edit: I mean in the context of computers, not zoology.
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible?
Which Tool do you use?
Is a Selection active?
What are the Tool’s settings (see Options Bar and if applicable Brush Panel)?
What is the Layer structure and what is the active Layer’s position therein?

    Change the AngledLine class to store two points instead of 3 points (I would rename the class to be StraightLine). The code is much simpler because you just store the starting and ending points and you don't need to calculate the middle point.

  • How to Draw a vertical line in flex

    I was just wondering the simplest way to draw a vertical line , preferably dashed.

    You could always just use the graphics class of your chart component.  Just access its graphics object, set the line style/thickness, move to the start point, and line to the end point.  Something like this,
    this.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
    this.graphics.moveTo(startX, startY);
    this.graphics.lineTo(endX, endY);

  • I want to know how to draw arrows & dashed lines in a picture control

    I have to draw arrows & dashed lines in a picture control. Just like we can do that in word or paint etc. I need to do the same using the mouse and drag the line/arrow till I realease the mouse. I am able to this for a normal line ( it works perfectly) but when I have to draw an arrow or a line I am stumped.

    Unfortunately, you have to code your own VIs to do these. It's not going to be too complicated if you manage the animation (while dragging the mouse) with a normal line and draw the dashed line/arrow at the end (when releasing the mouse button).
    In both cases, you'll know start/end line coordinates, thus having the line equation. For arrows, you need to calculate the angle in order to draw it properly.
    A simpler solution may be an activeX control with these features (Paint like) already integrated or to develop one in Visual Basic (at least it will be simpler to manage mouse events and drawing tasks).
    Let's hope somebody already did it and wants to share.

  • How to Turn off Color Management in Photoshop 7

    Wondering if anyone can guide me through the steps of turning off Color Management in Photoshop 7 so that my Epson 2200 manages the color?
    I've already tried turning off color management in photoshop color settings and also in the printing box.  My photographs print out perfect in iPhoto
    but I am limited in printing size.
    Thanks

    Agree, turning off color management in the color settings is 100% the wrong thing to do.
    Under printer profile, select the DocumentRGB profile.
    NO!  Select the PRINTER profile (and paper type, etc. as needed).
    The instructions you gave will give unmanaged color, and offer no chance for the printer to do it's thing at all.  (guaranteed fail)
    Having Photoshop manage the color, converting to the printer profile, and telling the printer driver to get the heck out of the way is far more likely to give useful prints.

  • How do you smooth out lines in Photoshop CS5

    I have some black and white line art drawings. The lines are not smooth and sharp, and instead have tiny jagged edges. I tried using the smudge tool, and that does smooth out the lines but it also makes the lines a little sloppy. That's probably how the Smudge Tool got its name. Is there a way to use this incredible software to create smooth lines? I've learned how to create paths, but I can't figure out how to use the paths to change the line art. Maybe this is what I'm looking for?

    -Noel
    If I understand your question correctly then the answer is yes. 
    You can create an arbitrary path whose shape, open or closed, can remain editable throughout your session and it can be duplicated if needed.  That path can then be stroked with a pixel painting or editing tool. Lets say you create a new layer and stroke a path with a colored brush. You can then add a style to that layer, move that same path and add a different stroke on a second layer and then duplicate the path, move it and edit its shape and then do yet another stroke and style on a third layer. This is what I've done in the image below showing the stroke & styled paths as well as the vector path in the bottom path.
    Once a path has been stroked to a layer and has had a layer style applied it is only editable as pixels, but the shape remains as a path which can re restroked or moved or reshaped so flexibility is high.

  • How to change length of line in Photoshop CS3

    I must be being really stupid, but I can't find out how to change the length of a line I've drawn in PS using the line tool. Can anyone help me out?

    Which type of line did you draw?
    Filled pixels, Shape Layer or Path?
    If filled pixels, then it's just like with any other pixelsyou have to erase them, or or make a selection and delete them. To lengthen, you'll have to use the Transform function.
    If you created your line as a Shape Layer or as a plain path, they are both defining the line as vector elements. If you look very closely, you'll see that the line is actually a thin rectangle-shaped patha boxif you will.
    In this case you can use the Path Selection Tool to select two of the anchor points and move them manually, or you can select the entire path and then use the Transform Path function (Command + T) and input values in the Options Bar to transform the points numerically.

  • How to draw 2 seperate lines w/Pen tool?

    Hello:                                                                                     Level: New Newbie  OS: Windows 7 64bit
    It's me again w/the same tut at: http://designinstruct.com/drawing-illustration/how-to-make-a-golden-compass-in-illustrator /
    Thank you everyone for all your help thus far!!
    Please refer to step #8 and the picture below
    Where I am confused is that once the line is drawn from top to bottom and I go to draw the line across the upper area the anchors stay connected.
    I tried the Alt key + click to cut the path but (as you advanced folk probably already know) it didn't work.
    So, I searched the manual, forums and other places for a way to make the bottom Anchor an end Anchor ... ?? Does that even exist?
    I don't know if I am explaining this correctly or well enough but I sure would appreciate your guidence
    Honestly I am not even sure what I ought to be looking for in the manual etc.
    I tried just drawing the shape for the Glossy effect and then filling it with the required gradient but frankly it just looks odd ... it looks flat and basically UGLY
    Below is a picture of what I need help accomplishing. The blue line that goes across is the problem for me.
    I should also mention, if you go to the tutorial ... it says that I am suppose to Duplicate the Inner Circle but I made too many goofs and somehow all my layers ended up on one layer so rather than doing what the tut instructs I just made a New Layer and then drew a new circle with the Ellipse tool.
    Even so, I actually couldn't grasp why or how I was suppose to go about intergrating the new circle with using the Pen Tool to draw the Glossy effect object. So, I skipped that part and just used the Pen tool to draw the needed shape as shown above in pink.
    Thank you again!!
    wow ...

    Kara,
    Or just press the P key.
    This will reselect the Pen Tool, implying a deselection.
    Edit: And now I realized: In the other thread I never looked at anything but the actual question, so I was unaware that it was all about a compass.
    There are a few things in the tutorial that could create inaccuracies, and some might be done in easier ways, but differeent users prefer different ways. That is one of the reasons for the pleasant great variation in suggestions here.

  • How do you fix colored lines on Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

         I have had my Macbook Pro 13" Retina display for over a year now, I recently opened it up and there were several green and blue lines running down the screen.  When I apply pressure to the bottom of the screen, where the black border is, some of the lines disappear.  It is progressively getting worse.  I don't believe it suffered any trauma.  It is a problem with the screen, not the GPU or anything else.  I was hoping there is a way to fix it without have to spend over $300 to get the screen replaced.  It is not under warranty.  Any advice?

    That's why Apple no longer sells disks. All its software is now available on the App Store. So you can either purchase/download the iWork components from there, or, if you have access to another Mac with an optical drive, share the DVD from that across the network (System Preferences - Sharing - turn CD/DVD sharing on) and install that way.

  • How do I sample color from a photoshop image and apply it to an Encore menu color sets

    I'm about 3 months and many hours of tutorials into Premiere ProCC, Audition CC, and Encore CS6. Apparently the nifty dynamic links from PPro and Audition CS6 no longer work with encore, as encore was not upgraded to CC. So, I want to sample color from an original photoshop image, and create an Encore menu color set, so that my menu bttons, etc. are colored to match the main photo image in the menu. Is there an eyedropper kind of tool in Encore that would let me sample the color from the image, and then apply that to color swatches in the Encore button layers? If there is I can't find it! ~Thanks!

    Strangely enough, I started a thread on this issue a few days ago in the Creative Cloud forum.  I had to uninstall all my pre-CC adobe software to get the Application Manager in sync with the CC apps, so when I tried to use Encore, there it was gone.  So I reinstalled PremPro CS6 just to get Encore back, but when I right clicked a menu in Encore, as asked to Edit in Photoshop, it threw up an error.  The consensus was that Encore CS6 would know nothing about Photoshop CC, so after much time searching for a fix, my only option was to either reinstall Photoshop CS6, or do it manually.
    I took the latter option using Windows 7 to search for the menu, and open/with Photoshop CC.  Stan Jones, who is the Encore equivalent of our Noel, mentioned a brick-bat, but I just saved the edit file and dragged it into Encore, and it worked fine

  • Color lines in Photoshop CS4 artwork

    Hello.
    This is the image I want to color.

    If you click the Color patch in the Options bar you can choose your colour from the Picker.
    (I'm not sure what you mean with the stripes.)
    Note: You need to change in Image > Mode from the indexed colour of the GIF to RGB to do this!
    Make a new layer for each colour.

  • How can you draw a thicker line!

    Hi,
    Do you know how to draw a thicker line without
    using Graphics2D? I can not use setStroke because
    if I use graphics2d class, the user have to download
    JRE to run my applet.
    Thanks

    Use the end-points of your line to create a Polygon which provides a border round it, then use Graphics.fillPolygon.
