Paint bucket tool after drawing with brush tool

Hi,
I am just wondering if there is anyway to paint using the paint bucket tool properly after drawing something using the brush tool. Although I have no gaps anywhere within the outline , there are times where the paint bucket tool doesn't paint. Another issue I encounter is whenever I try to adjust the shape with the selection tool it either fills a portion of the shape with color and even sometimes makes the shape itself disappear. Is there a way to only select a small portion of the drawing (like the way it is with pencil tool) as the shapes were done using a couple of strokes instead of just one.

Hi,
You can use use paint bucket tool to change the color of lines drawn with brush.And to be sure that there are no gaps select the line with subselection tool because visually you cannot make out as the gaps are defined in pixels.Also you can select parts of fill region with selection tool if the painting with brush is done in shape mode not object drawing mode.Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sangeeta

Fixing paths after drawing with pen tool?

Afer you draw a shape with the pen tool and you are not happy with the way you drag the curves and drew the path, do you do anything more with the pen tool at that point or do you later fix it with the Direct Selection tool to manipulate the anchor points to fix it?
Thanks.

Access to the direct selection tool works only when you clicked on it before choosing the pen tool
If you select the direct select tool before you choose the pen tool it will be accessible by holding the command/control key but if you have the selection tool selected first and then of course it shows up you can in CS 4 and 5 also then hold the command/option Tab key to toggle the direct select and selection tools while still in the pen tool.

Draw animated circle with brush tool in Flash

Hello all,
I need to make a circle with a brush tool so that it looks like a child draws it. If I make a dot with the brush tool on the first frame and a circle on the 15th frame and then create shape tween between those frames it looks stupid, like the circle grows itself.
Is there any possibility of making such a thing except for drawing it per frame?
Thanks
Julia

I'm just asking what is the method to draw a circle with a brush that you can see it animated - I mean the process of drawing. For now the only thing I know is to draw every small piece of it frame by frame but I suppose there is a better method.

Problem rotating rectangle (selecting corners) after creating with rectangle tool in illustrator

I'm using the latest CC version of Illustrator. When I draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool, I no longer seem to be able to select the corners to resize the rectangle nor does the cursor turn to a rotate icon when I put the mouse just outside the corner. I know that Ai CC treats rectangles differently now, with the live rectangles and the rounded corner options, and the transform box opening automatically. What I'm wondering, and hoping isn't the case, is whether this is this at the expense of being able to go right in and resize using the just the mouse? I know that there is the "Object > Shape > Expand" option, but having to do that for every time I draw a rectangle is time-consuming and adds and extra step that was unnecessary before. I saw a tutorial on Lynda where the instructor drew a live rectangle in CC AND was still able to resize it by grabbing the corner "handle". Anyone know if this is just a setting I need to turn on or something similarly easy, or is it a case of Adobe inadvertently making the workflow longer when trying to make it easier? And yes, I have "show bounding box" selected under VIEW.

MOD indi-go girl,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Sampling colors with brush tool by holding down ALT key doesn't work

I'm trying to sample a color with the brush tool on an empty layer while painting by holding ALT key on my mac but it doesn't work for me on Photoshop CC. Is there a setting that I'm missing?
Thanks,

Select the Eyedropper Tool, check on the options. Is "All Layers" selected?

Coloring with brush tool

I was watching one video tutorial where this person had first a color picture, and then he changed it to a black and white pic. I'm ok 'til this point. Then he, using a brush tool, selectively brought some colors back. Hard to explain.. I tried to do it but my brush didn't do anything. So in my case, B&W stayed B&W.
I tried it with a color picture where was pretty flowers. I wanted everything else B&W but the roses. What am I doing wrong? Do I have some settings wrong or what do you think?
I have a love and hate relationship with Photoshop and just now it's more hate...
thanks for help,
Inge

Photoshop's just a tool - an insanely complicated tool. Don't hate it; love it and it will reward you.
The tutorial was likely showing off the History Brush tool. The History Brush allows you to select a step in the History list, then brush the pixels back to the way they were at that step.
For example:
1. Open a color image.
2. Make your History panel visible by choosing Window - History.
3. Do Image - Adjust - Desaturate.
4. Your History list will now have two steps in it Open and Desaturate.
5. Click the little box to the left of the step that says Open. That will now be the source for the History Brush.
6. Select the History Brush from the tools palette and brush over your image. It will restore the color to the way the image looked before the Desaturate.

When drawing with polygon tool, a solid black rectangle appears??

When I use the polygon tool to draw, a mysterious black rectangle appears underneath, and grows with my cursor movement, obscurring whatever is underneath. The black shape has nothing to do with the shape I'm creating. I am tracing boundary locations on a map, for example, and the black shape blocks out the lines I'm trying to trace, if my opacity is set at 100%. It mimics the opacity I'm using to draw. I never saw this in AA7. Why would anyone want this function, and is there a way to turn it off?

Hey leonieDF
Thanks for your reply. I am exporting edited versions - export seems to work OK when exporting originals. But all my images are edited a bit, even if just simple cropping etc.
I tried adjusting the color sync profile as you suggested but this didn't help. I also adjusted the gamma and watermark and again, no change.
It seems like I have some kind of bug or something within Aperture, because it is doing all kind of strange things, like now eny time I edit a photo at all it appears solid black in my "browse" view (but OK when I double click it). Similarly, when I duplicate a photo it does random funky stuff to the photo in browse view (from being solid black, to solid red, to appeairng to have some random color filter, to appearing like static from static TV). These issues are all secondary though from the main issue of not being able to export images, since I have a friends wedding photos I am trying to get out to them!
Any other ideas of what might be causing this?
Thanks for your help!

Troubles with brush tool

When I use the brush tool (Fireworks CS3), I loose control
over the mouse.
When I select the brushtool, the brushcircle (mousepointer)
will flash in a high frequence and won't react on my mouse moves
anymore or at least very slowly. All other (simular) functions
performs well.
I can't imagine it's a processor or memory problem; I use a
brandnew laptop with Intel T7200 and 2Gb memory. Vista Home Premium
is my OS. Already installed Fireworks againg but the problem
remains.
I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance!

There is a great deal of commitment to Fireworks, as
evidenced by the
removal of ImageReady. Workarounds have been supplied to
solve the
issue. I avoided the problem entirely by not upgrading to
Vista right
away. Granted, I had that luxury. I've yet to trust a 1.0
release from
MS yet.
As for FW's (lack of) home page presence on the Adobe web
site, that
burns me too, but other areas of Adobe are promoting the app,
such a
Adobe Edge and the Design and Developer centers of the site.
Not fixing the Aero issue was a mistake. Things like that
happen, but
don't count Fireworks out yet.

How to isolate part of my workspace and use paint bucket to fill it with color?

Here is my situation: I want to draw a vertical line on the left-hand side of my workspace about an inch away (to the right) from the left edge.   Then I want to fill up that inch-wide column with a particular color. The end result being that I will have an inch-wide bar of color running vertically down the left side of my project.
I know this is probably really easy to do but it's been a long time since I had a course in Photoshop.
I use PSE 6. Thanks!

Something like this:
1. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to draw the rectangular selection
2. Select the Paint Bucket Tool
    Add a new blank layer
    (so it's easy to change later)
    Click on the foreground color chip in the toolbox and set your color for the fill
    Click inside the selection with the paint bucket tool
    Select>Deselect
You can use the rulers to see how far an inch is in your document
(View>Rulers)

Drawing with brush in Illo CS4

Hi All,
I was wondering when using the brush tool in Illo CS4, is there a way to see the line you are drawing, in real time as you draw it? All I seem to see is a hairline trace of the line I'm drawing, and then when I release the pen, the actual brush stroke is shown.
Many thanks,
P

Depends on what tools you are using.... Normal round brushes should draw immediately, but art and pattern brushes will not. It's an inherent limitation in how they work - they are not genuine strokes, just other vector objects conformed to a path. Since AI doesn't know how long the path possibly will be and how it curves, it cannot conform anything until the path is fully defined.

Step Backward Not Always Working with Brush Tool

I'm usually painting in photoshop and I undo a lot using the Opt+Cmd+Z shortcut. It works about 4/5 times I do it, but sometimes it just stops working. I either need to switch to a different tool, so just make a random brush stroke on the canvas and then it will start working again. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I'm using Photoshop CC on Mac OSX. The problem I'm having is not the inability to step backwards--I can get it to work by making a random brush stroke and then it will work again--but since it happens after every four or five "step backwards" commands it is really slowing my workflow. I'm constantly redoing lines multiple times in a few seconds when I'm drawing and it's really getting annoying.
