• Pen tool problem

  I'm having a problem with the pen tool recently. the pen tool doesn't let me do the sharp edges or horns.

  for example.

  I try to do that.

  

  And I am doing this: I

  

  See how the pen tool will not let me do the curve?

  It is a huge problem, because I want to do logos and I can't.

  If I'm doing something wrong, or using the wrong tool please tell me the correct way.

  I should also add the alternative way (which seems a bit lengthy compared to above, but who can help with a different design)

  Start up and going counterclockwise

  Click on the highest point of the page

  Click the second (straight line)

  Click on the third (straight line)

  Click and drag in the fourth (to create the curve)

  ALT click on the fourth point, which you have just created (which removes the handle facing forward)

  Click and drag to the fifth (to create the curve)

  ALT click on the fifth (to remove the handle facing forward)

  Click on items 6 and 7 (straight)

  Click and drag the 8 (curve)

  ALT click on the 8th (removes the handle facing forward)

  Click and drag the 9 (curve)

  ALT click 9 (to remove the handle facing forward)

  Click on the 10th (straight line)

  Click on the starting point (straight line to close the loop)

• 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 problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

  Recently, after many years, I finally gave up using AI 9 and started using AI CS4.

  However, I'm having a real problem and it's bugging me. When I start to use the feather on CS4, it gives me much too much information and disrupts my concentration. First of all, all these details in green pop up telling me that something is the path or anchor. Secondly, there is this awful gray box next to my pen saying things like "D: 62.54 points.

  Could someone please tell me how to disable all these appendages and I just get mmy pen rear base.

  Thank you

  You simply have your marketed Smart Guides. CTRL + U or view > bearings commented to turn them off.

• Unable to set keyframes in the audio clip selected with the pen tool - can no longer see the volume control line after developing the clip. What could be the problem? This seems to be the problem on any project that I opened.

  Cannot set keyframes in the audio clip selected with the pen tool - cannot see even the line volume control more to set keyframes on having developed the clip. What could be the problem?  I use the first CC pro @.

  You can use the Ctrl key and then click with the regular selection tool, clicking with ctrl will make a new keyframe. in this way, have no need for the tools. CTRL has other great shortcuts that will stop you having to spend retouching pads tools too.

  If the automation keyframe line is missing, you can switch on and off in the menu sequence.

  I can't move the anchor points on a shape, I've drawn with the pen tool.  There are also small circles with a point in them (think focus), who they are and they are part of my problem? If I open a new document and draw randomly everything is good, no anchor and focus points behave.

  Bubble icons are the widgets corner. You can drag inward to round the corner. They are not part of your problem. If you want to hide them, select view > hide corner Widget. I have a hotkey defined for this menu item.

  If you see multiple bullseyes, you may have your set with the shape selected, that would prevent you from being able to move individual anchor points. Deselect the shape first, and then move the anchor with the direct Selection tool.

• Problem with the pen tools & brush

  Hello

  I went to this throughout the day. I have reset the preferences and reinstalled but it did not help.

  I select the pen tool or the brush, set the size of the brush let 16pt, choose a default width profile and define the brush as a base. As I draw the line/mark the anchor settings are reset to 1 pt, normal width profile and sometimes oval 2pt. I can again select the line and apply the settings, and then I click on board graphic settings remain and if I try to draw a new line settings are reset again.

  I use cs5 on mac.

  Any ideas?

• The pen tool and Pathfinder problems

• 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.

• Masking with the pen tool creates unwanted cropping

  Adobe Premiere Pro CC - 2015.4 version 10.4.0 (30) build

  Operating system - OS X 10.11.6

  Sequence/images - images of reflex digital H.264 in a 1920 x 1080, 16:9, 29.97 FPS

  I'm adding a chart and try to hide a file HAVE with the pen tool. As soon as I click on the tool pen under the control of opacity effect, a small portion of the image is cropped on the right side. Even when I finished the mask, he trims still on the right side.

  Here is what the chart looks like no mask at all. http://i.imgur.com/CtKbvOD.PNG

  Once I click on the tool to start feather mask, it cultures immediately a small part on the right side. http://i.imgur.com/W5ICaJR.PNG

  Even when I change the mask to make sure the mask is not touching the graphic, it cultures still a small portion. http://i.imgur.com/zNTGQ60.PNG

  Here's a short video showing what I want my mask to do (with keyframes) and you can still see the cropped part. https://youtu.be/Sy-Fx4YUc1g

  I restarted the program, re-import the file, delete the chart out my calendar and it added on. Remove the mask and tried again.

  I am at a loss here, but feel like there is something simple that I'm missing. Did anyone had this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks for your help.

  Is the file have identical to the sequence value.

  How the mask behaves if material MPE turned to the software.

• When you add points on the path with the pen tool, it will always add handles almost anything?

  I'm stumped... I have used several times before the tool pen without problem. I use Wacom Intuos... but have also disconnected and used touch pad and the same thing happens... I want to add a track with the tool point pen to move and create a perfect angle and no matter what I do the pen creates the point with handles and, of course, with handles, it becomes very difficult to create and move a corners with the direct Selection tool... It certainly could be Windows or some other internal force creating the problem... I have three versions of Photoshop installed on my Alienware... Photoshop 6, CC2014 and CC2015.5.1 and it happens in all versions of three... If I'm a fool for lack of something obvious please let me know... If it's something I'm missing or have forgotten that I'd appreciate any help I can get... Peace and thanks

  The default behavior is. I just hold down the alt/opt and then convert the point at a point without handles.

• Pen tool does not work in Premiere Pro CS6

  I've never had this problem before. When I import a video I need to expose a person with the pen tool, I can't do anything. It also did not work in After Effects, but I installed Quicktime Alternative and the pen tool has started working again in Ae but not PR. was an error message that has not been installed Quick time and some components would not work. But the time of Quick ALT set who. Am I missing something?

  The pen tool in Pr CS6 is for the keyframes in the timeline.

  Mask feature was not added until I think that CC 2014.

• 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.
