Problem with pen tool, lines and blend tool

I draw line 1.
Then I break (click the arrow key and then click the pen tool again) and draw line 2
When I finish there is a puzzling gap on line 1 after where line 2 intersects:
Then when I use the blend too the resulting abstract looks like - non-continguous with broken lines:
instead of something of a continuous wave and unbroken lines like:
To me, the problem is clearly the gap show up but I don't understand why it is appearing, when as picture 2 shows, I clearly I'm drawing complete lines.

Thanks. That fixed it. I was able to select no fill in the pen tool bar (when pen tool is active), but could not select no fill when I clicked on the fill box in the regular tool bar (unless there is a trick) - all that comes up are color gradients to select.

  • Problem with Pen Tool CS5

    Hi,
    I just got Photoshop CS5 and I'm having a bit of trouble with the pen tool - namely, I can't see the path I'm creating.  In CS3 I could clearly see the line between two points but in the new program the line is nearly invisible making it very difficult to create the path.  Is this a setting I can fix?
    thanks

    I was having 32 bit while I upgraded from CS3 to  CS4. The only problem with CS4 that time was with pen tool.Though I cannot precisely recall , I can say it t was very lazy and very frustrating and this was resolved totally after shifting to 64 bit.--If urs existing system is 32 bit try with 64 bit

  • Newbie problem with pen tool: shape not evident on any layer

    I am trying to learn the pen tool. I made a line with the pen tool but now I can't find out which layer it is on, and I can't stroke it as I wanted. All of my layers are turned off and the shape still appears. However on searching through the layers there is no vector layer which contains my line. Also, I can't stroke the line as the stroke and fill options are greyed out on my paths panel. I have attached a screen dump to hopefully explain what I mean. I am using CS2 on Windows 7.

    Okay thanks and as you can see from the screen dump, I have got the paths window up. So I can see the workpath. But I can't stroke it, the stroke option is greyed out. Also how can I get the path onto a shapes layer? Basically I want to stroke the path so I can show the shape of a roadway on a map. Maybe I am using the wrong method, maybe there is a better way to do this?

  • Problem with Pen Tool contrast...

    I noticed this the other day. When I'm using the pen tool in Photoshop CS4, it sometimes takes the color of what I'm using the pen tool on, ie; if I'm working with a picture with a bright green or pink, the path is bright green or pink (see link below) The picture isn't the worst that it does, but if I took a screenshot when it's at it's worst, you wouldn't see anything. I went through all the preferences and saw nothing. I do have the OpenGL acceleration turned on. Thanks for any input!!!

  • Allow Tool Recording Action Problem with Pen Tool -PS6 beta

    Hi,
    I’m trying to create an action that will erase a shape layer box that I am using for a registration point. 
    I have “allow tool recording” on
    I select the shape layer in the layer palette
    Use the direct selection tool to marquee the box  on the shape layer I want to erase
    Use the pen tool to delete each anchor point
    I do erase the box but when I play back the recorded action,
    It will marquee and select the 4 box anchor points and even though the action dialog box says
    “Use delete anchor point”
    nothing happens.
    Any ideas?  Thanks. 

    The path selection tool selects the entire shape layer and won't delete it, I only want to select and delete a small portion of the shape layer.  Thanks for trying. 

  • Having problem with pen tool

    As soon as I add my third anchor point, it starts automatically filling in the color.....which I don't want. It also makes me unable to puch or pull any of the anchor points.
    Any suggestions? I'm using CS3 Extended

  • Slow down when processing image clipping in photo shop with pen tool

    Adobe cs5 slow down when processing image clipping use with pen tool. The path is applying after few seconds when we draw on the image. My system supporting 4 GB memory with 64 bit.

    The main thing i use paths for in photoshop is extracting objects from photos.
    Other uses include stroking paths with the paint tools. For example, if you had
    a powerline to remove, one could trace the line with the pen tool and then stroke
    the path with spot healing brush set to content aware fill.
    more info on photoshop paths:

  • Problems with Pro Tools 8, is it the software?

    Hello, I know this is "Apple Discussions", but since I'm using Pro tools 8 with the new macbook pro, I might get some answers here. I recently bought pro tools 8, I already have logic though, but wanted to be in the pro tools world too so, the thing is that every time I use Pro Tools 8 with the digi 003, the session Im working on will stop with just a few plugins, and man this happens a lot, on the other hand is that nothing happens when I use the digi 003 with Logic 8, I mean, I could have like 20 plugins and It would not stop at all. Can anyone identify with this problem with pro tools 8, Because people tell me that on pro tools 7.4 that doesnt happen at all.
    Thank you...

    PT8 is much better with plug ins than PT7x, but is not in the league of Logic. I am a huge PT fan and use both Logic and PT8, and as much as I love the look and superior interface of PT8, Logic is like an ugly old car that goes 200 MPH. It's a performance beast. I've had ridiculous amounts of plug ins in Logic with not a whimper from the program.
    PT8 is much more sensitive to things like whether you are using Firewire drives to record to (as opposed to internal SATAs on a Mac Pro), and many 3rd party plugs cause PT much grief. For high track counts and lots of plug ins, Logic is still King Kong.

  • Problems with Cocoon 2.03 and Weblogic 6.1 SP3

    I am having problems with Cocoon 2.03 and Weblogic 6.1 SP3, when I try to deploy
    the cocoon.war.
    Cocoon works fine when I unpack the cocoon.war into ...\mydomain\applications
    (after I changed cocoon.xconf to use the following transformer factory: org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl).
    However, when I deploy the cocoon.war through the weblogic console and try to

    I understood that there were problems when the cocoon.war file that did occur
    when you unpacked the war, but I believed that these problems did not occur with
    WLS6.1 SP3.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem and solved it? Any help would be greatly
    appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Paul

    This how I got Cocoon 2.04 up and running on WLS 6.1.4
    Download the Cocoon source from http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/dist/
    Remove all but the following JARs from lib/optional:
    commons-jxpath-1.0.jar
    jing-20020724.jar
    resolver-20020130.jar
    servlet_2_2.jar
    commons-logging-1.0.jar
    jtidy-04aug2000r7-dev.jar
    rhino-1.5r3.jar
    xt-19991105.jar
    Update lib/jars.xml to reflect these changes
    Issue build commands:
    ./build.sh clean (Note: Always clean first!)
    ./build.sh -Dinclude.webapp.libs=yes -Dexclude.webapp.samples=yes -Dexclude.webapp.documenation=yes
    -Dexclude.webapp.javadocs=yes webapp
    Copy the following JARs to your WLS instance’s lib directory:
    xercesImpl-2.0.0.jar
    xml-apis.jar
    xalan-2.3.1.jar
    xt-19991105.jar
    java/lib/tools.jar
    Sample of config/SERVER_NAME.setenv
    LIB=/path/to/lib
    JARS=$LIB/xercesImpl-2.0.0.jar:$LIB/xml-apis.jar:$LIB/xalan-2.3.1.jar:$LIB/xt-19991105.jar:/opt/java1.3/lib/tools.jar
    JAVACLASSPATH=$JARS:.:$JAVACLASSPATH
    JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.3
    Deploy the resluting cocoon.war and you should have a Cocoon up and running that
    can do the XML->HTML Hello World sample. The status page works fine too.
    My advice is to launch this stripped configuration first and if needed add more
    features later by adding the JARs of your choice to the class path (or add the
    to your webapp-build if you are confident that WLS are capable of handling their
    manifests).
    Good luck

  • Problem with  whitespace  then loading and saving xml

    i do not know how to handle this problem. i modifed a texteditor to send XML to a server and load XML back to the container.
    but then i do changes to the Textlayout it shows up like this --->
    Text in Container not modifed
    Text in Container modifed ---> with space beween the colorchanged string
    Text inContainersend and loaded ---> i think this has something to to with the
    TextFilter.export(_textFlow,TextFilter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT,ConversionType.XML_TYPE)
    can someone give me a hint...

    Hi,
    the link is --->
    http://www.horstmann-architekten.de/contentmanagment/SimpleEditor.html
    its a modified example of the texteditor provided by Adobe. You can send a xml to the server. and also read it from the server. You just use the xml identifer to give the xml a name.
    Try it out:
    1.  change the text and
    2.  give a XML-Identifer
         and then send it to the server. --> send to server
    3.  type in the XML-Identifer you have used and
    4.   load it from the server ---> Load from Server Button
    evering works ok exept the columns formating.
    I Think the colums Formating is not embeded in the XML as it should be. I attached the Files. (Newbie programmer)
    With best regards

    Sounds like you have two different issues going on: (1) inline graphics aren't coming out correctly when you use the TextLineFactory, and (2) columns aren't working correctly. It's difficult for me to tell by looking at the application you link what is going wrong. One of the examples does seem to have columns working -- can you be more specific about what you're doing, and what results you are seeing? As for the inline graphics, there is a timing issue involved with using URLs, due to the asynchronous loading. See this comment in the docs for TextFlowTextLineFactory:
    Note: When using inline graphics, the source property of the InlineGraphicElement object   must either be an instance of a DisplayObject or a Class object representing an embedded asset.   URLRequest objects cannot be used. The width and height of the inline graphic at the time the line   is created is used to compose the flow.

  • Problem with Table control lines

    Hi Friends,
    This is the problem with table control lines:
    I have screen with table control and I would like change the table control lines dynamicaly.
    Exp:
    In my PBO the Internal table which I am using to loop the TC is havig 7 records and its displayed with 7 records, now I have added one more record into my ITAB and now ITAB is having 8 records, when I am looping this ITAB with TC its taking the TC lines 7 only.
    here is the code:
    Initial values in gt_scr400 = 8
    Initial values in tc_scr400 = 8
    Now added one more recor into gt_scr400 , now gt_scr400  = 9.
      LOOP AT   gt_scr400
           INTO wa_scr400
           WITH CONTROL tc_scr400
           CURSOR tc_scr400-current_line.
      ENDLOOP.
    I have used this logic :
      DESCRIBE TABLE gt_scr400 LINES g_rec_300 .
      tc_scr300-lines = g_rec_300.
    but its not modifying the lines in my table control.
    How to change the TC lines based on ITAB total records.
    Thanks,
    Sridhar

    there is a field in TableViewName-xxx
    don't remember the exact field name for (total no of records)
    you can check it in debug.  when you add records in Internal table, u need to modify this field which is set at the first time when table control is populated.

    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.
