Help with the Brush tool!

Hi all

I am very new to Illustrator.  I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGOeuEsgDrI.  I managed to make the wreath a style brush but when I create an ellipse with no filling/brush stroke and hit my created Crown brush, leaves extends around the border, but the circle is blackened (filled).  It is a different result that the tutorial where the leaves are the border and there is no fill.  When I choose other paint tools, such as the banner (it looks like a Ribbon), it behaves as the tutorial shows and the Center is not filled (as does the Crown Brush tool.  Please refer to the following screen shot, in comparing the two.

Thanks for any help that you could provide!

When you created the stem you probably had a fill that are associated with him. This caused it to fill with black when you assigned him to a circle.

If you still have the original work used to create the branch, select only the stem and make sure that it is set to "no fill". Then option-do the work dragging the brush in the Panel icon shapes. This will update the work with the new art. Simply register and select "update to work. Your circle will now be hallow.

If you do not have the original work, drag the icon of the brush on the artboard, remove center line filling and updating the art of the brush.

  • Shift-click to create straight lines with the Brush tool is no longer works in 2015 CC

    Hello!

    I feel a maddening thing I can't explain, maybe a bug or a dark environment?

    If I use the pencil tool, I can click on the same spot on the canvas, then releases, then hold SHIFT key and click in another location on the canvas to create a straight line between the two points. This is expected behavior, and Photoshop has done this for years, as long as I can remember.

    Until recently, the same has worked with the Brush tool. Since the upgrade to 2015 CC, however, shift-click on demand exactly as if I was clicking simply - he draws another full brush, but without a straight line connecting the two clicks. Weird.


    Everyone knows the same behavior? (CC and Yosemite are completely up to date.)


    Best,

    Jason

  • need help with the brush to fill the tool in photoshop cs5 on windows7

    I recently got Photoshop CS5 and am currently using the trial version on Windows 7, its my first program Photoshop, and the first time the Wwindows 7, before that I used Jasc Paintshop and Windows Vista... so I'm kinda new to things.


    ON QUESTION! As an artist, I use many similar colors on the same layer and the use of am to use the Brush tool to join a specific domain in a new color and the pipette filling/paint bucket to fill the area. However, with cs5, I am having a serious question... I can't get any type of brush to have a solid edge to allow easy to fill with a fill tool, Brush tool still has a soft/semi translucent edge on that.  I tried to reorganize the different brush setting, using brush types, different sizes and options of the fill tool and I am unable to solve the problem.


    No matter what I try, I can't brush to make a single solid line that can fill the bucket to fill on tolerance 1.  I can't seem up tolerance on the fill tool, because many of the color palettes that I use on a layer are incredibly close and cancel the other colors, I want not filled.  Also, I can't click 'fill' several times when the option that I noticed, that develops outwards beyond the encircled area I try to fill, a few pixels at a time.


    I can't find a way to effectively brush to fill the tool without it leaving some empty or go outside the area I want to be filled, any help would be greatly appreciated.  If I can't find a way beyond this, because it is my main technique, I will most likely return program.


    Here is an extremely simple example of the problem:

    You will get probably the best results using the pen instead of the Brush tool.

  • Coloring with the Brush tool

    I was watching a video tutorial where this person first had a color image, and then it changed to a black and white photo. I'm ok until this point. Then he, with the help of a Brush tool, selectively brought some colors. Hard to explain... I tried to do, but my brush did nothing. So in my case, B & W stayed B & W.

    I tried with a color photo which was pretty flowers. I wanted any other B & W but the roses. What I am doing wrong? Have I not some wrong settings or what do you think?

    I have a love and hate relationship with Photoshop and earlier, it is more hatred...

    Thanks for the help,

    Inge

    If the image was shot black and white and color was then brought back, it might be the history brush tool.

  • Is it possible to move a line drawn with the Brush tool

    I created a document in Photoshop CC. I drew a number of line using the Brush tool in the toolbar on the left. One of the lines must be pushed a little. I can't find a way to select the line to move it. How can I do this?

    Assuming that the race is separated from the others properly, you can select around it (for example, with the rectangular selection tool or the Polygonal Lasso tool), and then simply drag the pixels to where you want.

    Note that if you work on background , it will fill the space left with the color of the background color swatch in the tools palette.

    Trying to animate his arm, no luck. Is there something im missing?

    If it's important, specifications and software:

    16 GB RAM DDR3

    Config Raid 6 to HARD drive

    Thanks in advance, Karl

    No, he just put in place and make sure that test the various movements of the arm before you start to create poses for the frame. If you take a look at the example file (using clips), you will see that the symbol is slightly overlap at the level of the joint and the transformation point is also at the level of the joint. If you want your figure to change when you move it then your image must not be bitmap and vector.

  • by selecting the color with the Brush tool

    is it possible to choose the FOREGROUND COLOR while using the Brush tool?

    If I hold down the option key and click on the tool icon brush becomes the eyedropper icon, but click on produces only a COLOR of background.

    I know that the tool of the icon itself can choose fade in the foreground or background, but it seems that there is a way to choose the FOREGROUND COLOR while using the Brush tool.

    what Miss me?

    Thank you

    Vince

    It is possible that you have the background color of active play sample in the color Panel. Go to the color Panel and click on the foreground swatch (to make it active) and see if that makes a difference.

  • How to specify a length of straight line with the Brush tool

    Hello

    I want to draw a few straight lines that have the same look as the paint brush tool. that is the ends of the lines have rounded ends.

    The thing is, I want to be able to specify the length of these lines.

    (1) can I do this with the paint brush tool? So be specific with the length of the line, for example that I can specify in some fields or something like that?

    (2) otherwise, I use the online tool to look the same as a line of paint brush?

    David.

    Hi David.

    Option 2:

    Select the line Segment tool (shortcut "------"). Click the origin. The dialog box should open. Specify the length. Apply a line with round cap. Adjust the width of the line and color to your liking.

    I hope this helps.

    Peace,

  • 'Holes' when you draw with the Brush tool

    pinselstrich.jpg

    Hello, why I get this 'hole' when I shoot with the Illustrator brush stroke, and how can I change it? (Illustrator CS6)

    Drag the brush in the Panel forms.

    Select the shape of the brush with direct selection

    Open the Atrributes

    Define the shape of the brush to the fill rule 'Non-Zero' (you must "Display options" to make visible buttons)

    And of course then Alt-do drag the brush published in the Panel forms once again, replacing the old.

  • You can color in a shape with the Brush tool?

    I created a simple circle and want to color a predefined brush I have.

    I know that you can use the shape dynamics and layers to change the stroke color and fill color. I don't want a fill, but rather that I brush, shadow areas, so it looks like I used a pencil on paper.

    I also know that I can do this manually, making sure not not to "color outside the lines" and then delete anything outside the lines that I can wear a color by mistake.

    However, I have many of these objects to the color and want the freedom to move my brush beyond the edge of the circle, coloring and shading quickly with my predefined brush.

    Is it possible to use a predefined brush, color of a shape, but not the coloring to go outside of the boundaries of the shape you created?

    EI

    1 fools the shape layer (Cmd + J)

    2 layer > rasterize > shape

    3 wand. Select the inside of the circle.

    4. Select > Inverse and then delete. This will give you some ants running on the raster layer

    5. Select > Inverse so that the Interior of the circle is the live area

    6. brush and your work will stay in the circle

    An additional Tip:

    At this point before you deselect the moving dotted line, choose the command selection > Save selection. In the future, if you choose to modify the brush in the circle you can remind the mobile dotted with Select > load selection before working on the raster layer

  • Need help with the Selection tool

    Hi all

    I have a few strange occurrences (for me) while using the 'quick selection'...

    Explanation

    I'm using PS 11 items on a PC Win 7 (64).

    What I want to do is to create a new pic from an existing photo.  Background of the existing of the captain not suitable for what I want.  But the FG is what I need.  I thought that by selecting the FG object and to be placed in a new pic would be what I need using the <Quick Selection tool>.

    To do this, I try to use the <Quick Selection tool>.  I had degrees of success using it.  I do not understand one main thing & pretty much makes my useless project & voidable, is the fact that when I use <Refine Edge> so that I can refine my selection of edge, my pic is lost immediately or removed.  Since I have no idea what is going on, I am obliged to close the peak (without saving the changes, of course) and then re-opening the pic.  All is well until I click the button <Refine Edge> once again, then, my pic disappears AGAIN!

    My guess is that maybe the captain doesn't turn somehow a layer or something.  But, how can I disable this behavior and make not my pic disappear?

    There are a few more details on this selection tool <>I'm muddy on.  Is there something where I can read more on its use?  I would like to learn more, but how?  Where?

    I now read the manual part online on the selection tools.  Although he enlighten us, I need more.

    I'm not a constant user of the PSE, instead, I use it only on occasions.  Normally, I use its scanning functions.  I can play with some other features, but I also know that the PSE offers many other powerful features, I use rarely, if ever.

    To do this, I am using the Quick Selection tool>.  I had degrees of success using it.  A main thing, I understand & pretty much makes my project useless & voidable, lies in the fact that whenever I use Refine Edge> so that I can refine my selection of edge, my pic is immediately lost or kidnapped.  Since I have no idea what is going on, I am obliged to close the picture (without saving the changes, of course) & then reopening the pic.  Everything is fine until I click on Refine Edge> new button, then, my pic disappears AGAIN!

    Try to reset the tool. To do this, look for a box with lines inside on the tool, and then reset options bar.

    If that fixed it, reset the preferences. To do this, go in Edition > Preferences > General, click Reset preferences on the next launch.
