• Paint Brush tool vs. Pen: why both?

  Hi all

  I just downloaded CC. animate happy with most of the changes, but we really intrigues me: the paint brush tool.

  Not to be confused with the Brush tool (which is still to animate it) Unlike the brush, paint brush tool tool is not draw with lock fills, pressure and tilt sensitivity or brush modes (Normal, fills, behind, selection, inside).

  The closest relative of the paint brush tool is actually the pencil, with a few differences: it can make custom vector brushes and draw like fillings but missing modes of pencil.

  My question is: why have both? Why didn't the Animate team just to extend the functionality of the pencil tool to make custom vector brushes? That's backward compatibility? Ease of use? Technical constraints?

  It's a small complaint, but I find it strange that the pencil can do everything from the paint brush tool can do with just an additional command. (You can change a pencil line vector brush in the properties panel, after it is drawn, and you can change a pencil line to a fill to change-> menu form)

  Anyone want to tell me?

  The paint brush tool is essentially the pencil, with 3 differences

  1. With the Brush tool, you can draw with brushes vector art from the library of the brush. (Object drawing mode will be fixed to) You can't do that with the pencil tool directly; Instead you have to draw a line, select it, and then apply a vector art brush in the menu dropdown style in the properties panel. (Note: you need to double click brushes vector art found in window--> library brush before they are added to the drop-down list Style)
  2. With the Brush tool, you can draw as fills or lines using the draw as fill the checkbox in the properties panel. You can do it with the pencil as well, but you will need to draw the line, select it, then click on change--> form--> convert lines in fillings to do the same thing.
  3. The overall behavior of the paint brush tool acts like a hybrid between the smooth pencil tool and straighten modes. On the one hand, the paint brush tool creates optimized lines similar to the smooth pencil mode; on the other hand, it performs similar to the mode to straighten shape recognition. If you draw a rectangle, an arc or ellipse, Animate will convert your drawing an exact shape. Recognition of shape can be adjusted under Edit--> preferences--> drawing--> recognize the forms.

  In summary, the paint brush tool seems to be a new and improved pencil tool and the pencil tool is kept for legacy reasons. The paint brush tool is not the different modes as the pencil tool, but personally, I find the lines made with the paint brush tool to have tasks less problem than the pencil tool. The pencil tool creates lumpy line segments or hyper-redresse light arcs; the paint brush tool strikes a nice balance. With recognition of shape and Vector Art brushes added to the mix, the paint brush tool is an asset.

  So in conclusion: change your shortcut 'Y' for the paint brush tool.

• adjust the tint with the paint brush tool?

  I have 2 good paintings together to appear like when hooked together. I like several colors in the two existing skies but just cyan edge seal on one of them is hue. Is there a way I can gradually adjust the hue of an area with a paint brush tool. In other words no paint on the texture.

  An adjustment layer tint effects uniformly a whole layer or a selection, not what I need. I want to use a diffuse brush or Airbrush to tease gradually in a color change where I want.

  Ideally, it would be surprising if I could adjusted the tint of end target so once the image reached this color it would interrupt being adjusted no matter if I continued to paint.

  I suspect one of the dozen or so list drop-down MODE options like normal, color dodge, saturation... could do but nothing with that I've experienced seems to do.

  Is this possible?

  Use the Bush set to color.

  Example of the color box.

• Paint Brush tool o pencil tool

  Hi the artist just sent me a vector drawing.

  1. when I scale down it's pixelated - this is supposed to be a vector.

  2. in addition, it weighs 173 kb while similar designs head weigh only 10 KB.

  Is it because they are using the paint brush tool and if it is Yes, then why have the paint brush tool.

  In addition, it would be better to draw in illustrator? Someone told me that illustrator has too many 'points', so when you import into flash it uses more CPU.

  See you soon

  Maybe it's the AS3 forum and your question addresses a non - AS3 material... not even a Flash question - hard to tell since you mention very little about the image.  You should post questions like this in the general forum Flash.

• How to fill out the lines that have been drawn with the paint brush tool?

  I keep trying to use the paint bucket tool, and it does not. I need help, because I need to work on this animation.

  It is usually because there are gaps in the line. There is a trick which called narrow gaps that is available when you click on the paint bucket tool. Select one of the options, and it's much easier to fill something drawn with a brush.

  

• Profile of variable width Brush tool keeps resetting

  This problem is baffling to me. I'm relatively new to Illustrator, so I would appreciate help. I use Adobe Illustrator CS6 with a mouse, rather than a tablet of pressure.

  When I create a line using the paint brush tool, I hold on to contain a profile of variable width. For example, narrower at the beginning and at the end of the race, but thicker in the middle. Now I can do this by selecting the line, after that I did the race and choosing the fundamental definition of the brush in the drop-down list.  But if I try to draw a new line, the settings are reset again.  I can't create a variable race during the creation of the race. The definition of brush guard given to pt 5 round and accidents vascular cerebral width 1 pt. It would be much faster if the race remained as a profile of variable width I created features.

  I noticed the same problem with the blob Brush tool, except that it's even worse. With the blob Brush tool, the weight of the race resets always regardless of whether or not I try to define a profile of Variable width.

  I tried to uncheck "New Art has basic appearance" mentioned on another forum, but that has not worked.

  I know its possible because I've seen on this youtube video. http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=R5wW_65iAiU

  View the profile of variable width is maintained, like artists, raffles. It is not keep resetting.

  Thank you

  OK - I thought about it.  I was tried on a thicker line, but I guess this line had been created by the brush, or at least brush "3 PT round" had been applied to it.  When I clicked on the back of base, the designation of variable width appeared.

  Phew!  Thanks for sticking with me on this little stupid thing!

• 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,

  Lee

• Problem of paint brush, intensity white vs black intensity

  Hello

  I have a problem with my paint brush tool.

  If I paint on a black layer with my paint brush tool with: white / 05% opacity / 100% throughput, white is more visible than if I paint with black on a white layer (same settings).

  More words, I did a video to show the problem in 10secs: https://youtu.be/aGxfBpHmrx4

  As you can see, when I paint on a mask, it is very difficult to have something good about my race, because that white is more intense than black...

  Someone else you have this problem? How can I solve that?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You can try to reset preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

  Also I want to say that reset preferences will make you lose your custom brushes and the presets.

• 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.

• New on the adjustment Brush tool... Help!

  Hello!  I am quite new to Lightroom and the particular adjustment Brush tool, and I'm having some problems with it!  I've seen tons of tutorials on using and it seems relatively easy... but when I go into my program and try to use it, nothing happens to my photo... say if I wanted to set the exposure on the face of the individual, I'll go and select the tool, reducing exposure, make the brush and the size I want feathers, and when I go to 'paint' the area I want altered nothing happens?  Pins appear as if to show me that's where I started, but then no change happens in the region, tried to paint.  I have to choose something somewhere to really use the brush to paint?  Any help is appreciated!  Thank you!!

  First of all, check that you have painted something. Downstairs is an option that says "Show selected mask overlay", activate it. It will show you the area that you have painted so far.

  If rose appears, this is where you have painted so far. Try to change your settings (i.e. move the sliders all the direction one way or another). If you see the effect appear, compose things until you have what you want.

  If you don't see rosy appears, make sure that your cursors of flow and density are upward. This act like opacity, so if they are too low, you are not fixing amount of "painting" with your brush.

  Hi guys,.

  I know this might be a quick and simple question, but can someone tell me if there is a way to paint a straight line on a corner in photoshop using the Brush tool as you draw instead of using the online tool?

  I know that you can paint a straight line by holding down the SHIFT key with the Brush tool, but I want to do the same action on an angle.

  Thanks in advance
