  • Spray paint effect

    how do make a sort of spray paint effect without making it
    look pixelated or like uve just use the blur filter?

    What exactly do you mean by spray paint effect? A place to
    start might be to use some Bitmaps:
    http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=search&w=1&txt=spray+paint&p=1
    You can apply Convert To Alpha and Color Fill live filters to
    make the white areas in those Bitmap transparent.
    If you want to make it from scratch, try drawing with
    brushes, then use the smudge tool to get some streaks, then use Add
    Noise to make it flecky, then you can Convert to Alpha(to remove
    the white flakes as transparent) and Color Fill once again.

  • Spray Paint Effect in Illustrator

    Recently I accidentally started to make a spray paint effect over one of my layers in illustrator and I was wondering if anyone knew how to do it so I can use it again?

    Shift S - switch to symbol sprayer
    Choose a symbol (Symbol palette flyout >> open library >> grime vector pack (if you have this one depends on your version)
    Spray some symbols
    Switch to other symbol tools to variate the angle/size/color/Tint/etc

  • Paint Tools API For flex

    Hello Flex Friends! I was wondering if anyone knew of a good
    (free preferably ) API that has the basic paint options that you
    could find in MS Paint (or more). I know how to make a rectangle,
    and circle, and draw lines and all that jazz, I am looking more on
    how to create spray paint cans, and complex erasing etc.
    I have seen
    http://www.flexibleexperiments.com/Flex/PrimitiveExplorer/Flex2PrimitiveExplorer.html
    and that has been the best so far. Any additional thoughts would be
    greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks JeffHourser this looks really cool and is deffineatly
    a resource I will keep in my bag, however this is a bit complex for
    our current needs. What I am really interested in is an API that
    can do:
    Lines
    Basic Shapes
    fills
    spray paint (like mspaints)
    other basic art tools
    I know i can do most of these using flex's built in API for
    drawing, however, it seems that there is no point in recreating the
    wheel if someone else has already done it.
    Thanks!

    It sounds like you are talking about the cloning tool?
    Tool looks like this:
    Then when selected you can change the size of the brush and using Alt (windows) and Command (Mac) to select your region you want to copy then start to create you cloned image.
    Hope this helps?

  • Please help me with the paint tool!

    Sorry for all the simple questions, but I'm having so many problems with Flash's drawing tools it isn't funny.
    What I want to do is draw a series of slightly diagonal stripes. In any other program, I'd use the line tool to draw the partitions and then use the fill tool to fill in the gaps. But in Flash, the paint tool won't do anything. It doesn't matter where I click - it won't work, and a little 'lock' symbol appears on my cursor.
    I know that an alternative way of drawing the stripes is to make a square, resize it and tilt it to exactly the right angle, but this is a slow and painstaking method, and I have to do a lot of them. Also, not all the stripes are perfectly straight.
    It's so frustrating, because I could do this in ten seconds with normal drawing tools, and I've spent about four hours already just trying to figure out this stupid little thing (because this stupid little thing is crucial to my project!). I'd be immensely grateful for any help. Likewise, I'd be very grateful for any help figuring out the brush tool problem on my other post. No matter how much I try and practice, I just can't figure out these drawing tools.

    I am having sort of the same problem but yours I think I can solve... is the layer locked at all?
    I can't fill in any drawing or shape that I draw out and it's a pain... Was wondering if this was similar to yours??

  • Files not saving with Deco tool or Spray Brush tool selected

    I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.
    Please clarify.

    Hmm - thanks for letting us know.
    It does seem to be the case that the "*" next to the file name does not go away when these particular tools are selected. It does seem to actually save the changes though to the document, so you should be safe after the ctrl+s.

  • I'm new to Illustrator and I am trying to use the live paint tool.

    I have an image that I have outlined into different sections with the pen tool and now when I try to select the outlines and go into live paint> make, it prompts me with an error message saying "Selection contains objects that cannot be converted. Live paint groups can only contain paths and compounds paths. Clipping paths are not allowed." Is there a way to convert this so that I can fill in the selected areas with the live paint tool, or am I totally out of luck? -Not sure if this matters but I have a photo underneath the pen tool's outlines because I'm trying to edit it into more of a 2D geometric print which is why I need to live paint tool to help me fill in the shapes.

    Put the image on a new layer below the artwork and lock the layer so the image cannot be selected. Did you use a mask of some sort? put that on the lower layer as well.

  • Format Painter tool

    I am trying to ascertain if the the equivalent of MS Word 2008 Format Painter tool exists in Pages 09
    Thank you

    command option c = Copy paragraph format
    command option v = Paste paragraph format
    Better is to use Styles:

  • Looking for "cut-out template / spray paint" effect shortcut plugin.

    Does anyone know of an existing action or plugin that produces a realistic "cut-out template / spray paint" effect like the one seen here?
    I know I could accomplish this manually, but it would take a lot longer and I have a series of these I need done.
    Thanks!

    I doubt anyone can work out exactly what you are after, from the way you have worded your question.  Will all these templates be the same, and if not, what will they look like?  Have you tried searching for Brush sets using the search criteria you are after? 

  • Painter tool goes all over in Lightroom 2.5

    Haven't seen this issue posted, but my Painter tool is behaving more badly than usual.
    I am trying to reject scattered photos while in Library grid mode, using the Painter. Each time I click on an image with the painter, rejects the image ok, then bounces to another part of the screen and I have to scroll back to where I was. In fact, the screen continues to shift around so much that the Painter tool is stupidly dangerous. I have never found it to work as it should, but this is the worst!
    I have already downloaded LR2.5 approximately 8 times so far to fix issues - is that my only choice now?
    I'm on a Mac OS 10.4.11.
    Thanks,
    Deb

    Really? I had been told differently earlier and it seemed to help with the bugs during the first week of LR 2.5. Seems silly now however.
    I will try your suggest to delete the preferences since I have found that very helpful when Photoshop goes wacky. Does it work a similar way that you hold down cmd+opt+shift (?) when re-starting the app?
    Thanks,
    Deb

  • Problem painting / blending UV seams using 3d paint tool in CS4

    I am having a tough time blending seams on 3d objects in CS4. I create textures for 3d figures used in Poser, and Photoshop is my preferred 2d painting tool. Sometime ago, I bought CS4 pro thinking that the 3d paint  feature would enhance my workflow when developing textures. Unfortunately, I find the capabilities of CS4 to be somewhat rudimentary at best, so I am stuck using Deep Paint 3 to do blending. For example, when I try to paint over a UV seam with 3d paint on a wavefront .obj model the seam will not take paint. When I paint over the seam, a stripe is left several pixels wide  - whats up with this?  Do I really need to go back to the2d texture map to blend my seams/edges?  This seems somewhat useless as I originally bought CS4 to improve my workflow for blending edges and maps together. Is there a workaround that will allow the paint to actually be applied to cover the edges / seams, and preferably a number of pixels beyond?
    Another thing I noticed is that the blur/sharpen/smudge brushes do not work to blend edges either, in fact, when I try to smudge across an edge, I just contaminate image with stuff beyond the edge from the texture map. - if the pixel just beyond the edge is black, smudging just drags some black into my image. Is this really how this is supposed to work? Even using a normal brush seems to cause contamination too.
    Has anyone found a setting or workaround to fix this? Is the new CS any better?
    below is a simple example of the painting problem on a simple cylinder I loaded. The original texture map I was painting on was gray.. to demo the problem,  I flooded with red, which left a gray line at the seam. then went to a green paint and and did a couple of strokes with a brush. You can see that even simple brush strokes dragged some gray into my image. Am I missing something, or is this as useless as it looks?

    Yes, it's just the way it is. You probably have wasted your money and should have bought ZBrush or modo or Cinema 4D...
