Help from live painting in CS5!

I downloaded a sketch and put it in the vectorization. Everythings fine until I get to the part live paint. I click on the paint bucket and I try to fill the inner parts of the vector. It does not get through. He tells me to choose a symbol or a symbol instance. I'm really confused to what it is. I would like to have the black outline, I just need to figure out how to color in the drawing. I know that this is not well explained, but I hope someone can help.

Thank you!

No, Monika is correct, that you have used the tool symbol Stainer instead of the live paint bucket, fairly easy mistake to make.

Below the red arrow is the symbol of Stainer, who tried to use it as well. Same error message.

The blue arrow points to the live paint bucket opinion they are similar is?

They are both hidden under the spray of symbols (red arrow) another under the tool shape (blue arrow).

So you should thank Monika to be as alert and do a good job.

  • Where can I find help from live chat?

    In the top level menu, I drilled down to the bit that says "still need help - our community and staff are here 24/7."  However, I don't see anywhere to start a live chat with Adobe.  A friend told me that it was possible, but I don't see where.  Any help in locating this appreciated.

    No, you're not missing something.  I've complained about this, but I don't know that it will do no good.

  • The missing in Illustrator CS5 live paint bucket tool

    The Live Paint Bucket tool does not appear in the Toolbox of Illustrator CS5. I looked at other threads which suggest to delete the file "Adobe Illustrator CS5 préférences". I did and it has no effect. There is no empty space in the palette where the button should be, she is just completely missing, as it was never installed (either its hidden somewhere I'm fairly new to Illustrator). However, I can create a "live paint group' using 'paint-make objects-live' in the drop-down menu in the menu at the top of the screen. It's just the button that is missing, so I can not color of the object. I don't know if it the button was always there that I only installed the software a couple of weeks. I needed just now. I have not yet tried re-installing of Illustrator. It's really a last resort. I use Windows Vista if that helps.

    Any help is very appreciated.

  • Live paint bucket in CS5

    The help of Illustrator on a Windows machine running XP sp3 with an Intuos 2

    I use Illustrator CS2 for awhile and have upgraded to CS5.  I need help with a problem I am experiencing with the live paint bucket.    I select the illustration, go to object > live paint > make and get the blue bouning box.  I choose my background and outline colors and go to work.  It seems to work until I get a close-up view, around 800%, and then I noticed that the race is not filled in some of the traits completely (there seems to be some gaps in the path that do not arise in a normal display mode).  Outline of its artifacts leaving (I don't know what else to call them).  I have attached two examples of these artifacts.  I also tried to fix this with the selection tool paint Live which I am also having a problem with.  I took out the paint group dynamic and verified that all the paths of my connection and have corrected the problems that I can see.

    This did not help either.   Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.  I consulted the help, and either I can't read with understanding English or... I can't find the right words to bring up the problem.

  • I can't select a single path after using the live paint bucket; Help please?

    Before using the live paint bucket, I was able to select the individual paths both to edit. Now when I click on one road, he selects each unique to the image path. Is there a way out of this?

    That's what I'm going to talk: (I only wanted to select the star, but the entire image has been selected).

    Screen Shot 2014-05-12 at 10.46.54 AM.png

    You should always be able to select the individual paths with the direct selection or group selection tools. or open the layers palette and hunt for him. or double click with the black pointer to break into the group.

  • Live Paint objects overlapping extruded and beveled

    I have a Celtic design which has sections I want to overlap, but I extruded and beveled to make more realistic metallic look.  I have tried to widen its appearance before performing the live painting, but "live painting" option is used in output in the menu... What can I do to live paint this object without losing the appearance of 3d?  If I sketch the lines first and then doing live painting... it loses all its extrude and bevel.  Help!

    Oooh I found a way... it's a bit tedious, but it works!

    I've dissociated and put copies of two components I want to ride on a new layer, in place...

    Then I do a current overlapping areas clipping mask...

    This cut mask then sits on top of the underlying section that wasn't right layers and now puts the object from the bottom up!

    I now do with each duplication where I want to put the object from the bottom to the top... but it's worth for the awesome effect!

    I hope this helps someone else out there!

  • Question live paint bucket tool

    Hello illustrators.

    Its been a while that I used this tool. But I am facing a problem, I do not understand.

    I see some tutorials and I try to follow along I can't have the same functions of the tool, as demonstrated.

    My live paint bucket tool doesn't have the same options as the guardian. He can drag his arrows and get colors from the color palette, while I only have one available color.

    I have always to go to my color palette and choose a color in order for my forms to be filled. But when he suddenly comes to my shape coloring so no problem, I can slide and get my color

    selection. I'd like to use for my fill also color well to drag my arrows and see the available colors if it has meaning.

    The top image is what I'd like to achieve.

    The bottom image is what I have in my document of Council art. saw that one color is available, and I have to click on my palette of color for color. No sliding with the help of arrow keys is available.

    Thank you.

    Click on a swatch. The three places is related to the use of the color chart. Once you just mix a color in the color Panel, it will break.

  • In stairway white borders on the live paint groups expanded

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the live paint groups that I can't understand, or find a workaround for.

    I create all my lineart for the illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. I use the tool pen in combination with the line tool width to create the thickness of line. Once I finished all the work of the line, I select all and Expand. This translates not have refills for the areas of illustration that need to be colored.

    From there, what I do is select all > livepaint > make. I then fill in each area in a base color, using the Live Paint Bucket tool. Once finished, I have to select new all > expand. This leaves me fillings that I can choose indivually to apply gradients and work directly with.

    This process works fine until I have develop the live paint group. After developing, there is a thin white border around that meet two distinct colors. This occurs only after having developed, this does not happen when it is still a live paint group. I tried all the options in the window to develop and achieve the same result. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

    I exported the work done in several formats (eps, .jpg, .png) and the lines are still there.

    I've included a picture to show the problem. (the Red arrows point to the issue of borders)

    If someone could help out with this it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!!

    Most likely, it will not be printed.

    It's a problem of how 100 K is rendered in CMYK mode with anti-aliasing

    Turn anti-aliasing off the coast in the preferences. If the line is still there: you have a problem.

    It is not there in mode live-painting living objects are treated as a whole.

  • Live Paint Bucket tool

    I'm new to illustrator, and I hope someone can help me with the living tool. I use CS5 on a mac.

I can't find the paint bucket tool to live anywhere... any suggestions on how to locate this tool? Thank you!

  • Live Paint can't paint a smooth gradient across many faces?

    I had a picture to show what I would. I have a compound path, and it happens that several faces in the live paint group. I want to apply a gradient to a few different faces at the same time that goes with fluidity in the next.

    It works with a template file, but not with a gradient for a reason any.

    Maybe the question should be "can I combine several sides of a live paint group for a filling to fill all?

    Thanks for any help.

    I could draw a bunch of boxes.

    Then the live paint > make shift select each with the live paint selection tool.

    Then use the tool of Grad out grad from the center of all.

    This does not work for you? Or am I missing something?

  • Gradient does not meet the set of a live paint group

    Hi all

    I tried to fill this paint group direct (and others) with a gradient, but the gradient does not fill the entire form. It seems that the location of the gradient is confused so that it only fills in the center of the shape. I have attached a screenshot below as an example.

    Gradient Slider issues.png

    In this picture you can see that the slope is very strong in the center of the shape (highlighted in red), even if the gradient tool indicates that there should be much more widespread in the whole of the form. The degraded place sliders don't also reached lower than 13% or higher to 87% for some reason any. This has happened through the whole document and is not the first time that I had the experience.
