Pen tool poor visibility in CS4 - Options?

• Pen tool CS4

  I use the pen tool a lot and I'm used to my settings at home in cs2. at work we use cs4 and when I paint a way over or under a different path a green x appears and locks on where anchor points are on this another way. I looked in preferences, and I can't find how to make so that he can leave this making. I just kindof ignored for a while but this project requires very precise paths and how it locks my paths toward what they THINK I want to do is really slowing me down. How can I disable this feature? Thank you!

  These options are in the view menu. The lines that appear when your mouse is aligned on some things from other objects is commented (Ctrl + U). But it is not snap just visual aid. Align to the grid (Shift + Ctrl + ' ") and Point (Alt + Ctr + ' ') display menu is causing the snap.

• Photoshop CS4 Pen tool slider works not properly?

  I worked with Photoshop for over 10 years. Tool pen of CS4 will add a point during the click on tool of several pixels below the bottom of the pen like that I always saw where it adds a point to the click right at the end of the upper part of the pen tool.

  I entered in preferences, cursors and checked and tried all the combinations of options "Standard cursors" and 'Painting cursors' nothing works. The point on which he places when I click will be always shifted the current tool.

  What gives?

  It looks like you created the document in view full screen click using the F key and rear cycle it will go away.

• CS4 crashes when I send to print and pen tool loses the ability to maintain a multi striped line attributes.

  With the help of Illustrator CS4 (impossible to pass because the office that I contracted does not level) on a Mac under the Mavericks 10.9.5 (just upgraded to 10.6). CS4 crashes when I send to print (I was save as PDF and print only). In addition, the pen tool loses the ability to maintain a multi striped line attributes.

  For the second, deselect new Art has basic appearance in appearance (small triangle in the upper-right) Panel dialog box. With regard to the other you tried to delete and time the printer to your list of printers? In addition, since nothing sooner than CS6 has been tested with 10.9.x, the PDF method can be your only hope.

• Photoshop CS4: Using the pen tool to add corner rather than the curved anchor anchors

  Hello people, I tried everything I could think about using different sentences, but have yet to find a way to do it or if it was possible. I'm working on a project that requires the addition of many corner anchors to paths. By default, using the feather of Photoshop CS4 adds curve anchors. Therefore I have to add the anchor and then convert it into a corner. Is there an easy way to make the PS to create corners instead of curves with the pen tool? Even using combos Shift-Ctrl-alt-click did not help? Would save me time and mental health!

  Thank you all,

  -DK

  Try adding points with the normal pen, hold down the ALT key and clicking twice.

• CS4 does not select the style of the previous line of the pen tool

  When I used the pen tool in CS3 I could select any style of line (for most of the arrows) and be able to make the new line wih this style. In CS4 it creates just a black line each time with the same thickness.

  In the appearance Panel, click the drop-down (top-right) and deselect new Art has basic appearance.

• The pen tool does NO good :-(

  I just update the Ai CC and now the pen tool 'close' all paths
  even without closing.

  What is going on?

  Daniel Ulysse,

  The only op, I would have suggested your reset preferences or something similar as the first thing to try, but it's quite strange to suddenly have two versions at the same time.

  Here are the usual list of things to try.

  Try the following (you may have tried / some of them already) and see if that helps you (the following is a general list of things, you can try when the question is not in a file specific; 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted preferences):

  (1) close Illy and open again.

  (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

  (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

  4) move the folder http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

  5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);  Even worse, you can:

  (6) uninstall, run the vacuum cleaner tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and then reinstall.

• Beginner with the pen tool problem: not obvious on any shape layer

  I'm learning the pen tool. I made a line with the pen tool, but now I can't find out what layer it is on, and I can't caress as I wanted. All my layers are turned off and the form appears. However the research through the layers there is no vector layer that contains my line. In addition, I can't touch the line as the line options and filling are greyed out on my table of paths. I have attached a copy of Θcran to explain if all goes well I mean. I use CS2 on Windows 7.

  

  Your Layer palette capture you have no visible layer and targeted in order to trace the path would not be available and gray by Photoshop.  Target a layer visible and you should be able to stroke the path on this layer. Also, you should be able to add a shape layer by using this path of pen.

• Pen tool: how to trace node

  For example, if I wan to draw

  -------->

  I would click to create a starting node. Move to the right, then create another node to form a line.

  Then I'd go diagonal to the left, but then I can't go back sharp part of the arrow to draw a diagonal line to the bottom left.

  Is there a way? I want to create an animation of an arrow is designed to help connect the tracks.

  Using the pen tool is slightly different than in Illustrator or Photoshop. My technique is to select the tool pen (g) then use Alt/Option and Ctrl/Cmnd to change the pointer. If you have trouble positioning of a Summit so you can place it anywhere with the default pen then select the point using the Ctrl/Cmnd key as a modifier and move it to a new location, then continue drawing.

  The only problem with alignment or placing a vertex directly on top of the other, is that it is very difficult to make diaper changes.

  My technique would be to shoot an arrow on paper first and decide how I naturally attracts it. Then, I'd probably use two shots, one for the line and a dash v under the arrow head shaped. I start to draw the arrow from the point, then back up and add the V.

  The other option would be to draw the line to change direction and move the pen to the back, then down, then to the point of creating a kind of arrow head closed. If you use two paths you can put them in the same shape layer and then add the trim paths to complete the animation with just two keyframes and the paths will be deleted in the order.

  The other option would be to draw the arrow in a full form not with a stroke, if you have a nice looking arrow. Then I would add suddenly to the model which was broad enough to cover the entire arrow, then apply trim paths to this feature and use it as a track matte to reveal the arrow. Everything depends on the design.

• Pen tool, some paths, basic shapes, etc.

  Hi, first sorry for my bad English.

  I bought the ipad pro and pencil to apple, when it came out last year, trying to replace my macbook and imac in illustration and design work. I hope that Adobe, as one of the major design software developer, would a pro for us software "artists" in a few months. Not need to be too pro version full of mac os, but at least something that works for all kinds of artists:

  1 - drawings of hands free

  or

  2 precise geometric designs

  The first option in this version of works "Illustrator draws" regular, not great and not bad. We can make several good designs, the quality is good. But whenever I need a more specific move, small details. Frustration begins: no path, no selector to move a part of the drawing (just move the entire layer), etc.

  In the second option "illustrator draw" is simply not do work with this kind of artists (my case). I hate to be repetitive, but all I can say is that I tried to work with adobe apps with my ipad pro and apple pencil. And it is impossible (for my kind and style of work).

  I downloaded graphic Autodesk and Protosketch. Two of them, it is much MUCH better that Illustrator draws, I can get the end result in both entities. There's the pen, Bezier work tool just fine, select traced, paint, paint, move, align, insert the position and scale, remove and what I want is possible with these applications.

  So my question is, why adobe do not develop an app that make already what these apps do for years?

  Where is the pen tool (Bézier, etc.)? where selection points? where is the base of any vector software?

  Hi Lucas,.

  I'm sorry to have taken so long to answer. Thanks for posting.

  When the draw was created, it has been designed as, well, adjuvant to Illustrator CC. something that would allow people to start a project away from the desktop computer, and then complete it on the desktop.

  People have started using it to learn more. That has intensified since the introduction of the iPad from Apple Pro and a pencil and we receive many requests and suggestions to make the application more "useful". And we take them seriously with regard to the evolution of the draw. That said, despite the fact that they are requested with a certain regularity, I am not sure that the plan is to incorporate an Illustrator - Bézier or the selection tools in the app. I would like to have more information for you...

  I pass all comments along to the team produced and I'll share yours, in its entirety, with them also.

  Thanks again for taking the time to post.

  Sue.

• Features of the line of my mouse and the pen tool are thicker than my tablet.

  Hello, I have just built a new computer and tried drawing in Photoshop but it turns out that my features of line of my mouse and the pen tool appear to be twice as thick as my Tablet features. I am currently using the Wacom Intuos small Pen & Touch tablet. I messed with the settings and put sensitivity to pressure for setting low to make sure that I get a fixed size for each shot, so it's probably a sensitivity problems. I don't have this problem with my last computer when I used the same Tablet and the program Photoshop I use now. Does anyone have suggestions about how can I fix? Thank you for your time.

  Occam's razor would tell us that it is almost certainly a problem with spring pressure.

  Or the other of the two first round brushes by selecting in the brush Panel must ensure pencil and mouse identical brush sizes.

  

  The other thing to look at is the options bar.  The other icon highlighted in red, is the pressure change opacity.

  

  You can use both at the same time.

• Causes of puppet Warp and document to go black pen tool... is there a solution?

  I use Photoshop CC 2014.  When I Zoom and am using the pen tool, after several anchor points, the document will go black, and I don't see what I'm doing.  If I hit ctrl + Z, I can get the document to return, but usually, I can't add more points to the path.

  Today, as he tried to go to puppet Warp, after the mesh that stood, I tried to choose an anchor point.  When I did, the document became black, and I couldn't perform all the steps without trying to close completely off PS when I did, I was given the possibility to apply the filter.  When I chose to not apply puppet Warp, the document returned, and I cancelled to leave the program.

  Now, however, when I try to go to puppet Warp, the document will go black, and the mesh is even more will appear.  I have PS set to run a little on the 'ideal' memory range running.  I closed and open PS several times.  I have 306,94 MB of free space on my drive from Scratch.

  I use an Intel HD Graphics 3000 on Microsoft Windows 10.  My processor is an Intel Core [email protected] GHz, at 2095 MHz speed.

  I searched everywhere, but am unable to find information on these exact issues together.  What I found similar was the issue with the tool pen to varying degrees.  Most of these people received information that it is due to run PS CC 10 Windows.  Does anyone know a work around for this problem with limited specifications I provided?

  Thank you for your time.

  We pay every month for Photoshop... it gives me not an automatic update? I didn't know about that one.

  You can install all the update using the application desktop cloud creative to do.  Your better off that updates are not automatic. Adobe allows has a lot of bugs to be released.  You're better off waiting to hear if the new update are good or not.  You should always keep an old working version of Photoshop installed for insurance.  You must use the installation of Adobe Photoshop options ahead to keep older versions of Photoshop to uninstalled by new version installers.  Adobe management must have brought the previous version uninstall a default value.  I don't think programmers who would do to users.

• Pen tool end with enter does not?

  When you draw with the pen tool, I can normally complete the line by pressing on enter. This feature has suddenly stopped working - can someone tell me why? I use InDesign CS4.

  It is a very annoying problem, because it slows down my work process considerably, so any help is desired. Thank you!

  I can give you a work around: instead of pressing enter, press the p key (P is the key to pen tool and also ends a path).

  There is corruption in your user area. Create a new account (user) and running InDesign they can work around the problem also.

• Pen tool Snap to grid toggle or switch on / off!  Adobe make this A new feature

  By default the pen tool is set as 'Snap to Pixel Grid"shot

  This is not always the best choice for a designer. They are specially when it comes to create icons for the Mobile market on a Pixel level.

  But there is an option to disable this wide ranging in your Photoshop settings > tools (PsCC2015) / (PsCS6) general > and uncheck

  the option: "Snap vector tools and transforms to pixel grid. It does the job, but only if the user wants to pass this Option

  Several times in a very short time? !!!  It becomes a chore

  Why not make a toggle between two Types of pen:

  • Pen (PixelGrid Snapper)
  • Pen (free circulation)

  Or

  A stylus (Tear Off Option included) Panel, where the user can turn this Option on and outside.

  This will give the PenTool ultimately a feature much more.

  This is a user to User Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even if some employees of Adobe fortunately declined.

  Photoshop feature requests are properly mailed to the course

  Community customer Photoshop family

  It does the job, but if the user wants to switch this Option several times within a very short time?

  Then they can use Action/s or Script/s with assigned keyboard shortcuts.
