Problem with Brush + fill (gap) in 7 & cs4 (pic attached)

So starting sometime yesterday every time I draw with the brush (stroke a path), then fill it with the paintbucket there is always a gap between the fill and the brush. This is happening in 7 and cs4. See attached image I've tried googling this problem but the search terms (brush, gap, fill) are too generic. I've reset all photoshop settings and brushes in both 7 and cs4. I'm lost, any help is appreciated.
in this screen shot you can see the gap between the brush and the fill, but there is no gap with filling a marquee.

I also tried brushes that include a hardness control slider in CS3. They all produce the gap following your technique even with the hardness setting maxed. I assume some anti-alias must be included.
On a whim, I tried a brush from the "square brushes" set that is included in Photoshop. I selected this set because it lacks a hardness control slider. This particular brush set produced no gap when using your technique. I assume there is no anti-alias built into brushes that lack a hardness control slider. My theory is that previously this is the type of brush you have used to stroke your boxes.

Hi,
It should be somewhat easier to try that out in landscape orientation. Does that help?

If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
=
RANKX(
ALL(Table1),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(table1),
ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
DENSE
If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

Problem With Brushes Pressure CS5

Hello all.
I'm using a Photoshop Cs5 with a Wacom Cintiq 12wx Tablet (I'm using PC with WinXP).
I'm having some problems withe the pressure, it doesn't work on Photoshop, (I tried it on CS3 & CS5), and I did clicked on the Tablet options in PS.
The pressure just don't responds.
I Think its becuse I can't change the Minimum Diameter in any Brush.
Plus when I change the Control part to Pen Pressure, a little warning sign is appering ( a triangel with an exclamation mark insaid ), how ever when I click on it [to see what the problem is ,nothing happens].
I have to point out that in the Cintiq Tablet Properties it's all fine, the pressure respond(in the meter)
I tried making a different settings for Photoshop, it didn't help. Can any one Pleas help me?

Usually, this is an issue with the wacom driver needing to be updated.
A few people have also found that the Windows tablet settings can also mess things up.

Problem with applying fills & strokes to grouped objects in Illustrator CC

I have this problem that I deal with everyday & I can't figure out how to fix it.
I am always struggling with applying fills & strokes (or changing fills & strokes).
It seems like I always have to ungroup the objects first (even if I never grouped them in the first place), or I have to clear appearance first. Sometimes I have to ungroup several times, even if it is only one object by itself, not grouped with anything else.
I think It may have something to do with the pathfinder... like the pathfinder is creating groups when I use the divide filter.
Even when I use the direct selection tool, to select just the object I want, it wont let me apply the fill or stroke that I want.
Also, it seems like it has several layers of appearance... when I ungroup the object, it changes appearance (the fill or stroke changes).
Also, if I eyedrop the object to apply its appearance to another object, the "hidden" appearance is the one that gets appled to the new object.
The closest discussion I could find was about compound paths, but I think this is a different issue, because when I go to compound paths in the menu, it doesn't give me the option to release anythig.
I have this problem ALL DAY LONG, every day. Please help!!

Thanks for your reply!
I see what you are saying, and I think is some cases that could be a helpful trick - but the problem I'm having is slighlty different.
The object that I want to change doesn't show the actual appearance... it only shows its underlying appearance after ungrouping several times, and then when it is completely ungrouped, it visibly changes to another fill & stroke. This happens even when the object is not grouped with anything... it is just grouped to itself i guess & I am not grouping these items, they just become grouped somehow - I think because of the pathfinder. I often have to ungroup 3-5 times, which is a hassle in iteself... but sometimes I actually need to grouping to keep items togther so I can manage all the ojects & move them around as needed.
So... the method you are suggesting could possibly solve the issue, except I don't know what the fill & stroke is until I ungroup everything, so I can't create the swatch off to the side to match it. The other thing is, it seems like I would be creating a lot of swatches, since I use lots of different fills & it seems like it would be a lot of extra work.
Here is an example of 2 objects before using the pathfinder. Please note how the object selected & the fill & stroke boxes all jive:
Now here are two images after using the pathfinder tool (I added another object to get the problme to happen). Please note how the fill & stroke boxes do not match the objects selected:
This is what happens when I try to change the fill to green (the fill does not apply):
I thought it had something to do with compound paths, but as you can see below, the menu doesn't give me an option to release compound paths:
The final image is what happens after I ungroup the objects:
I don't understand:
1) why pathfinder is grouping these objects
2) why the strokes & fills change & why the fill & stroke boxes don't match the actual fill & stroke.
3) why I can't change the fill or stroke without ungrouping (even when using the direct selection tool).
4) why the fill & stroke change again after ungrouping

Problem with PHP, CSS & Code Navigator in CS4

Hi,
I've got al little problem with code navigator. To show the problem, I created this 3 files:
test1.html
The CSS-Definition is defined static, with simple HTML.
<html>
<head>
     <style type="text/css">
          @import "test.css";
     </style>
</head>
<body>
      <p>Hello World</p>
</body>
</html>
test2.php
The CSS-Definition is defined dynamic, with PHP-Code.
<html>
<head>
     <style type="text/css">
          <? echo "@import \"test.css\";\n"; ?>
     </style>
</head>
<body>
      <p>Hello World</p>
</body>
</html>
test.css
The CSS-File which is imported in test1.html and test2.php
p {
     font-size:20px;
The Problem in Dreamweaver CS4
When opening the test.html - File in Dreamweaver CS4, I can easily see the CSS-Definition of the <p>-Tag in Code Navigator. To edit these definition I can simple open the test.css by clicking on the definition in Code navigator. For a complex webpage this is a greate feature. Sadly, this does not work, when I open the test2.php. Although when going to Live View and selecting the <p>-Tag I can see the CSS-Definition and the file in which it is defined in Code Navigator. But by clicking on the definition the test.css DOES NOT OPEN!
Has anybody a solution? Because many of our projects have dynamic CSS-Definitions, it would be a shame, if this would not work.
Tanks for help! :-)

I've done some testing, which might point you in the direction of an interim solution.
This is the code for related_files.php:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Related files test</title>
<?php include('include.css'); ?>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
This is the code for include.css:
<style type="text/css">
p {
     font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     color:#F00;
</style>
Note that the include file contains the opening and closing style tags.
By including your styles like this in a PHP include file, Dreamweaver applies the CSS in Design view (you don't need to turn on Live View). Holding down the Alt key while clicking in Design view brings up the Code Navigator with all the details of the CSS. The one missing link in the chain is that clicking the style selector in the Code Navigator does not open the CSS file. However...
The file that contains the CSS is listed in the Related Files toolbar, so you can edit it in Split view, and see the results in Design view in exactly the same way as with an HTML page and ordinary style sheet.
As I say, not the full solution that you wanted, but it might be something worth experimenting with.

Eligible update from adobe to fix problem with brushes?

But inel told me that is not their problem and they gonna not help me, they told me that I should contact APPLE,
So I contact apple:
Apple told me that they have no responsibility from 3rd party company as ADOBE and their software: Photosohp CS5 and they told me as well that I should contact ADOBE,
Ok, I try to cntact adobe:
but I cannot find some contact on official site- email, where I can deteailed describe my problem, so for that I try to find some information through the community forum here:
PLEASE IF THIS READ ANYBODY FROM DEVELOPER TEAM FROM ADOBE:
Can you give some advice how can I fix my problem?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

You could try
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop
But are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance like repairing permissions, purging PRAM, font validation, etc.) yet?

Problems with black fills in live trace(d) eps images in Word and certain printers

Hi folks, PLEASE help me with this if you know a possible solution. I regularly run Live Trace in Illustrator CS3 on my grayscale bmp or tiff scanned images, save them as an eps, then folks in other departments insert them into Microsoft Word pages. Sometimes these images display in Word with unintended black fills, and some printers print them out with the same corrupted appearance, yet some other printers print them fine (even if the display in Word shows them with the unintended black fills). I THINK this might be a postscript issue (?). I don't have the option of telling everyone to change from Word to InDesign (which would absolutely solve the problem immediately). Is there something I can set while performing Live Trace? They really need the eps files, so I don't have the option of saving them as another format. HELP! Thanks...

I use Mac at home and love it. At work, we use PC platform. I can't save as a pdf because they need to stay vector graphics. he departments want us to save the eps in version 8 because they're STILL using Windows 2003 (ugh). I keep thinking there must be something I can do while in Live Trace because we've never noticed any inintended black fills in graphics not created using Live Trace. Somehow, Word and some printers are not interpreting some postscript language correctly. InDesign has zero issues with it. Some printers have no problem with it, so I assume they are postscript printers. There's got to be a way I can still save as an eps but without the postscript conflict (IF that's what it is).

Elements 12 problem with brush cursor

I have recently bought Elements 12 (I have used Elements 2 for many years) which I am running on a Dell laptop with Windows 7. Every time I change the brush cursor size, the cursor becomes corrupted. It changes to strange shapes and does not work properly. I have found that I can rectify the probem each time by pressing the spacebar. The cursor then becomes circular again and works properly, but only until I change the brush size again. So I have to keep pressing the spacebar all the time when I am trying to use the brushes. Has anyone else had this problem and know of a fix please? I have not encountered any other problems with Elements 12.

Sorry I didn't spot that box and many thanks for the diagram. I have now reset the brush tool which does revert the cursor to the circular shape and sets it to a small size (13 px), but the problem reoccurs. As I increase the brush size, when it gets to 250 px, the cursor goes to an odd shape, then it reverts to circular at about 800 px. A similar thing happens if I then reduce the brush size.
I am new to this forum, as I didn't have any problems with Elements 2. After I posted my question, it listed similar questions from other members. One member descibed an identical problem with an earlier version of Elements. That post was a very long dialogue and I have just quickly read through it. He could not fix it and people's suggestions were that it was probably a deficiency with his graphics card. Unfortunately, I suspect I have the same problem with my Dell laptop. I imagine there is nothing I can do other than buying a new PC, but if you guys have any further suggestions, then that would be great. Many thanks!

Problems with Brushes & Actions on Photoshop CS6

Browser problem with graduated fill

A web page with a rectangle filled with a graduated fill (either MUSE or PHSP) and a transparent text box displays correctly when opened in my IE11 Browser but after scrolling down the page and then returning to the top the rectangle has horizontal white lines in it.
Browser version: Internet Explorer 11 ver. 11.0.9600.16476.
Windows 7 64 bit
Efforts to correct this in MUSE unsucessful.
Thanks.
Rick

I have since discovered the cause of the error. By chance I copied the rectangle and pasted it.
I needed to fill the new rectangle with ''No colour' which I did with the Fill Tool only to discover that there was another colour still there which I could not get rid of.
Replacing both rectangles with new ones has cured the error!!
Somehow I must have corrupted the fill option.

Problem with brush preview in PS CS4

When my instructor shows the brush preview mode, his brush looks like the selected brush, which means that if there's a lot of feathering on it, he can see that. In the same mode and with the same cursor settings in the preferences, I only get a circle indicating the size of the brush. There's nothing to see about the relative hardness of it. COuld this be because I'm running on Windows XP? If not, how can I get to see the brush the way he does. Thanks for your help.

Problem with anchored objects in file from CS4

I opened, in CS5, a file which was done in CS4 and discovered all my anchored objects were gone!
Analising the document, I understood they were there, but in a kind of mask ("Illustrator style") but in a text frame, which is odd, I think.
I show here:
1. one picture of the CS4 file
2. one picture of the same file, but opened in CS5
3. one picture of this file, in CS5, showing the "ghost" when I put the cursor over the "missing" anchored object
If I cut and paste the objects they appear, but if I put them back like anchored objects, they disapear again.
I had to fix every thing in a document I was working (it's a 124 pages document...) without anchored objects, just grouped them, because it was urgent (as always...) but I am reporting this because maybe people hadn't notice this and maybe there's a way to fix this.

It's very hard to tell what might be causing this without seeing the actual file. I looked around and found a CS4 file on my suystem with hundreds of anchored photos, and they show fine when I open in CS5.
My first impression is that this is ither a layer problem of some sort, or perhaps the objects have been set not to print and you have a preview mode enabled, but eh screen captures don't seem to support the latter.
What happens if you export the file to .idml in CS4 and open that in CS5?

Problem with saving filled-in form

I downloaded an official state form and after filling out the required fields saved it. When I retrieved the document, the filled in data appeared for an instant then disappeared. I have previously downloaded forms from this State site and filled in the fields, saved the document and then retrieved it without a problem. Now whenever I pull up a document.pdf the once filled-in fields vanish.
I have not changed any settings on the Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional application that is being used to save and then retieve the document. I am using XP Professional with SP2 and all other updates.
Can anyone explain why the filled in form does not stay filled in when retrieved and how to fix it so it will not happen again?

The form may be set to clear the fields when opening. There are various reasons folks select this option, but it is likely the problem.
