How can I draw a smooth line?

I would like to draw a few smooth curves on one of my photos.  I tried the regular brush tool, but my mouse skills are not good enough to get some nice smooth lines.  Is it possible that I can draw smooth lines short buy Illustrator?

The workaround in the elements is:

  1. Open an empty layer above the background
  2. Access the Brush tool and draw a straight line in the vertical axis. To do this, click a starting point for the line to the left, hold down the SHIFT key and click the desired end. You should see a straight line.
  3. Go to filter > distort > shear and on the grid of the dialog set the curve
  4. Press CTRL + T to bring up the transform tool, turn the curved line and refine following suit.

  • How can I draw a curved line?

    Sorry for the inconvenience, but I tried the Photoshop information and could not succeed.

    What should I do to draw a curve?  I have no problem, draw a straight line, it's pretty easy, but I was not able to find a way draw curves and get the same results to draw a straight line.  I tried to work with the Pen tool and I could draw some curved paths, but as I said that a path is something abstract, I can't work with it as a stright line.  I m pretty sure that the answer is simple, but I was not able to understand.  Can someone help me please?

    Howdy.

    But, how can I caress a path?

    To create your path, click on the button "Create a new path", second from right at the bottom of the garbage can. Select the pen tool. Draw your way. Click on the small triangle at the top right (highlighted). Select the path of the path.

    Select an option for how you want to stroke the path. I chose the brush. Brush properties are applied to the way such as a stroke.

    That's all. It will be useful.

    Peace,

    PS: Semaphoric: did not know the shortcut. Thanks for the tip.

  • How can I draw a straight line with a brush?

    I know that the pencil tool can draw a straight line with anchor points. Is there a setting for the pencil tool which can mimic a brush of 30 points, low hardness (from left to right) at an angle of 80 degrees, or is it possible to make a straight line with the Brush tool using a mouse?photoshop help.jpeg

    I know that this picture is a little blurry. what I want to do is to replace the 2 lines of white angles with point 30 brush effect 230 pixels wide. the project on the left side of the photo is a canvas 4 ' 2 ft. any ideas? Help, please.

    Straight lines are simple: the brush, click where you want the starting line (you will paint one place) then hold down the SHIFT key and click where you want the line to end. Photoshop will draw a straight line between your departure and arrival.

    In addition, for even more control, you can use the pen tool to create a path, then just STROKE the path with the brush.

  • How can I draw in straight lines in CS3?

    I would use pencil so I can freely draw straight lines to make any kind of shape, just like the screen below. As we shift on Photoshop and using the pencil holding. Is there another way to do it?

    This was made using a rectangle and anchor point, but it's a pain to do!

    Thank you

    I think you want the pen tool. If you click on a point, then another while to now shift, it will draw straight lines to 90 or 45 degrees. You should be able to do what you want in this way by clicking on each corner quickly, while now shift.

    To close your box, click again on the first anchor point. (He likely to change to a circle to indicate that you are going to close the path).

    The light meter example is pretty much what you want to do. It is located here:

    \National Instruments\\examples\Vision\2. Functions\Light Meter\Light meter Example.llb\Light meter Example.vi

    In the example, the x axis are the number of iteration, but it is easy to modify to use a graphic instead of a graph and chart the time instead.

    Hope that helps.

    Sean,

    In such cases, the first assumption is aligned to the pixel grid.

    You can select the entire document and untick finally align on the pixel grid in the Transform palette and uncheck also align new objects to the pixel grid in the options of the Launcher. It is crucial that the checkbox is disabled completely, not just a - which also count as ticked.

    It may be noted that even align with the pixel grid is cleared with all the selected objects, align new objects to the pixel grid is checked as the creation of new objects will result in these new objects being aligned, even when they are created from existing objects that can happen with Pathfinder operations.

    You can avoid the types of documents with the default (RGB for the web and other) or change the default value for such documents.

  • How can I disable the "smooth" scrolling in firefox?

    Since I installed Firefox 13.0, scroll to the bottom of pages went a little smoother. My PC is a bit old, so when I played in a youtube tab and I'm scrolling smoothly into another, whenever I scroll the music stops for as long as I scroll down. As a sort of lag, but my internet connection is good.

    so my question is; How can I turn off this feature, so I can listen to music without the stops when scrolling?

    I need to put the line numbers for each line in a document that I am preparing for the presentation of a newspaper. How can I make continuous line, numbering of Pages automatically?

    Pages can't do because it is not a TextEditor with a fixed number of characters per line, and there linewrap.

    Use a TextEditor like iText Express or iText Pro or similar.

  • How can I remove the black lines that prints when I use my ADF?

    When I use my ADF my copies have 2 black lines going down the middle.  How can I remove them?

    OK, the 8600 Officejet Pro has two pieces of glass used for copying, the glass of the main copy, and a thin (~ 1 "wide) section of glass on the left side.  If there are black lines vertical on copies or analyses both flat glass and ADF, and then the question would be caused by a defect in the sensor scanning.  The most likely hypothesis is that copies of the scanner glass flat are OK but there is a vertical line on the pages sent through the ADF.  This is caused by a small spot, perhaps as small dust on the cutting Strip.  Holding a strong flashlight on the front of the unit to the position just above the t in the logo HP Officejet Pro on the front will highlight the region.
