Help with the tool pen

Hey,.

I'm splitting both handles on a single anchor point in order to make a corner. How to I pull both handles out of sync (just move one at a time).

Thank you

Jason

Hi Jason,

1. Select the anchor with the direct Selection tool, so that you can see its direction handles.

2. Select the tool Point Director conversion (part of the pen tools group)

3. click on the end of one of the direction handles, and then drag a bit.

Direction handles are now "separated" and can be moved individually.

  • Help with the tool pen when moving CS5.1 to CC

    I never use PS, but still did not used to the tool pen in CC, especially when compared to CS5.1.

    I would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or how do things!

    In CS5.1 I could draw a path with the pen tool, then command-drag on the line between two points to change the shape of the path between these two points. In CC when I ordered-drag path of shape changes but made the way across two points, I am working on.

    In CS5.1 only the length of the handles Bezier control altered, in CC length and angle of the altered control handles, which affects the path I want to change.

    So what I am doing wrong? I use the pen and the path a lot and I'll have to go back to CS5.1 to do any series and complex path works because I can not familiarize themselves with the new CC pen tool. Help!

    Also, with the Direct Selection tool selected see if checking force path by dragging in the options toolbar makes a difference.

  • How to extrude a path created with the tool pen

    Hi all

    I created a path with the tool pen (part Brown) and now I want to extrude, but output is the set containing the block (see image below)

    Now, I have tried everything, from the grouping of transparent traces, etc., but nothing works.

    How to extrude my way?

    Thank you

    Illustrator_Extrude.PNG

    It is because you applied an effect hatched the path before extrusion it. You are effectively 'extrusion' the raster image, which is a rectangle.

    Don't, don't. Apply the frame effect to a rectangle and store that as a symbol. Give the desired path to extrude a simple filling and extrude. Then use the veneering of 3D effect feature to map the symbol to the desired surface.

  • New path-layers of all lines with the tool pen?

    Hello! I am currently using Illustrator CS6 as a test version, and when I use the tool pen to make a beaver (school work), it all end in a single layer. I want to have a new layer-path of each line with the pen tool, so I can remove rows from the layer panel too. For the moment, it's a layer that has a picture of a beaver, and I can't see the individual lines that I drew. When I used CS5 recently I had no such problem.

    There is a setting that I can change or does have something to do with the news of CS6?

    If you want to see a 'sex' for each object changes the display of the layer panel by choosing Options from the Panel menu in the layer panel. In the lower part of the Panel options window, make sure that groups and objects are both checked. You will then see a 'sex' for each object.

    I quote 'sex' here because technically they aren't the layers. They resemble layers and are in the layer panel, but they do not exactly allow options that allow actual layers. You can select and move objects in the Panel this way however.

  • Problem with the tool pen creating a fill when I want only the stroke

    Hello

    I'm having a problem. I create a simple spider for a project. Initially, I used the pen tool to make the legs. He worked for a bit, then started suddenly in an area that I has yet to draw with the fill color. I don't know what I did to cause this happens. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    This form shows a yellow fill, probably from the last shape you drew.  If you select the form and clear the fill, your drawing will return to black lines only.

  • minimum amount of segments with the tool pen

    I have a really fundamental question using the feather in Flash. Is there a minimum amount of segments (or something I do not) that must be learned in order to fill a polygon, created with the pen. I found in many cases seems to be the closure of the polygon and yet when I go to fill the object it will not fill. I then discovered that the start and endpoints are not "met" (as in Illustrator). The icon turns circle hollow when I get to the starting point (as in Illustrator), but it does not close segments.

    Thank you

    Check if you have your fill color non-empty value. In the properties panel, under fill and stroke.

    After you draw your polygon, select a paint bucket tool (K), select the fill color and click inside the polygon.

    If the form is (from any reason) really not closed, select the tool Selection (V) and check the main menu-> view-> slam-> snap to objects: true.

    Hover over the anchor point not connected until you get a corner next to the cursor icon. Then click on & do drag the point to another point you want to connect with. Snap will ensure that the polygon is closed now.

    Now, you can use the paint bucket tool.

  • handle Bezier lost in the closure of path with the tool pen

    Can anyone of you teach me please how to avoid losing the first point Bezier handle backward when closing a path with the pen tool?

    aiPathClosingBehaviour.jpg

    It is a nuisance for a long time for me, but I can't exclude that I simply failed to find the right way to disable this behavior.

    In addition, C:

    For my own use, I wrote some Javascript AI, JET_CloseSelectedPaths.jsx, which closes a path in the way that narrow box that FreeHand is for pre-existing incoming handles.

    Read the descriptions on the page, and you will find a few others in the same collection, which even use workaround for things that FH users take for granted about two decades ago. (Illustrator only devout, of course, should stay away from them because, you know, they use HAVE for a long time, so I should not em.)

  • Rotoscoping with the tool pen

    Hello everyone.

    I use rotoscoping using the pen tool.

    I used the pen tool for many years with Photoshop, Photoshop inside when I draw a path on a selection, I use the Alt key at the end of each path, draw paths more.

    I noticed, when I use the Pen Tool in After Effects, for example if I paint a path on an object and I alt about way it works different from Photoshop.

    It breaks the path, rather than continue the path.

    Here is the screenshot.

    A new thank you very much...

    There are many different ways to do rotoscoping and different parts of different plans will all require different techniques. Here is a collection of information and resources for Rotoscoping in After Effects.

  • Help with the tool gum background

    I use the Eraser tool background for several photos that need to be downloaded from the web. In doing so, the low tolerance level allows me to go on the product without ruining the image of the actual product itself. I then use the lasso tool to select the transparency around this image of product. Then I hit reverse and remove. I have now made 95% of what I need of fact - that is clear the background for the web. However, when I go to save as jpeg or png, you can see where the low tolerance level was at the. It is almost ALL white except around the image itself where it leaves an annoying shadow. Is this in any way about this? Maybe a shortcut? Or am I missing something? Please help me. I have 8 pictures to complete as soon as possible!

    "" "You're almost there. '"

    Use the magnetic lasso tool to select the product.

    Once the outline ("mobile dash") is completed, go to Select > Inverse and press DELETE on the keyboard... You are now surrounded by transparent product.

    I placed a white under the product background layer so that you can see. This layer must be removed before you download the PNG file.

  • Brush control with CTRL + ALT + click right + mouse/pen movement does not work with the tool liquify (photoshop cc 2015): what should I do?

    Brush control with CTRL + ALT + click right + mouse/pen movement does not work with the tool of liquefy; I can't change the size of the brush or hardness. OS win 7 Professional 64 bit, wacom tablet intuos 6.3.14 - 1 driver s pro, Photoshop 2015 CC worm.  2015.0.1 20150722.r.168

    What are your settings of GPU acceleration?  As I understand it, the Alt right click size and hardness adjust needs acceleration GPU to be turned on, but I have a feeling Brush hardness is always set to easy when using fluidity.  You can still see the quick mask as representation of the soft brush when Alt right click, but you can't change the hardness.

    Is that you can change the brush size and pressure (framed in red in my screenshot) Alt right click drag left and right changes size and down to pressure changes, and you can see what is happening in real-time by looking at the sign on the right.  It works independently of your acceleration GPU (IME) settings, but you don't get the effect of soft red quick mask.

    Does this fit with what you see, or you are not able to change things at all?  If not, then I've always found that fluidity consumes system resources, if you could check the Task Manager > Performance tab to see what kind of RAM and CPU use is using the fluidity.  That's what I see after direction the lens above with a big brush continuously for 10 seconds.  Note This is on a fairly quick NLE System.
