Smoothing the rough lines? (Details in the post)

Hi all. Thanks in advance I spill the details.

I hand draw my art. After the scan it, I use the trace function in Illustrator with a value of 2 usually, blur then pull upward in Photoshop to touch up the lines.

My dilemma is: how to smooth out the lines in my designs? What I did with SOME success is from the return PSD file in Illustrator, make some blur again, then back to Psalm

In addition, I have attached a sample of a scanned drawing. If you guys/girls have a better and more simple way to smooth out the lines, I'm all ears.Scan0001.jpg

Thank you!

Howdy.

Beautiful technique, Noel.

Chewingcow: I don't know what you want to do with your image. If you need a line made without much editable, technical Christmas looks great. But if you want maximum editability, jump to Ps and learn to do it in Illustrator. If you check the forums Adobe Illustrator, the limitations of automatic Trace are a frequent topic. If the results you get need a trip to the Ps to get cleaned up, you might reconsider using Auto Trace. The big dogs world Illy always recommend to avoid Auto Trace and recommend instead followed by hand, using the pen tool. More you do it, you get faster. Of course, Illy has simple tools to create the geometric pieces.

I know not how much you know about Illy, but in the time it takes to move back from Illy to Ps, you could probably recreate it from scratch in Illustrator. And have a fully editable and extremely scalable vector image.

I made tracing below using the pen, with the exception of a circle tool, which I did with the Oval tool. It took only a few minutes.

I kept going, and 20 minutes later, the drawing is converted to outlines. Twenty minutes is not a long time your art to speak. Especially when you consider where this 20 minutes gets you. From there, the rest is gravy.

The foregoing has a stroke applied to paths. But if you want it to look more hand drawn, you can apply a brush instead of a stroke. There are tons of brushes in Illy, and it's easy to create your own. You can apply a brush that makes lines look smooth or rough. With a single mouse click, the image above looks like the image below. It seems tougher than the original. You can make it look like it was drawn with a pencil or a pen of calligraphy if you want.

Or you can apply the color. Mouse over just a few clicks. One of the bazillion of opportunities.

It is well worth your while to vectorize your art in Illustrator. It allows the same artwork as anything a business card for a T-shirt to a wrap of the car at a billboard of output. PS, not so much. There is a reason that illustrator is called Illustrator and Photoshop called Photoshop.

But, if you really want to use Ps (this is the Ps forum, after all), I used to scan stuff hand drawn in Ps all the time. But I've rarely analysed in full compositions as in your example. I scanned in pieces and assembled with other art created in PS. My process is quite simple.

I used the quick selection tool to select the Africa.

Then, using the palette traced, I converted the selection to a vector using the command create a track work with tolerance set to 1.5. I usually put it entre.8 and 2, depends on the resolution of the image and a contrast. Fill and stroke have been applied. The form is not quite perfect (image of low resolution, blurry drawing are less accurate quick selection tool. The sharper your drawing, the better it works.), but it can be changed by using the vector tools in PS. I add Madagascar to the layer of Africa and organize other forms in appropriate laters. Build the image in this way, you get maximum editability. Not as good as Illustrator, but I made this way for years before I'm Illy.

For what it's worth.

Peace,

Lee

  • Details on the obligation imposed by the post upgrade

    The post of the R12 upgrade steps tell to "Apply the latest legislative HRMS" referring to the notes 145837.1 . This note indicates the last patch of statutory for 12.1.3 Dec 2010. In our 11i instance, we have already applied through "U.S. & Canada end of year 2010 statutory update for 11i Phase3" before the upgrade. I'm assuming that we would apply this EOY Phase 3 patch for 12.1.3 and not legal base level in notes 145837.1. Is it a correct assumption? Thank you!

    Your assumption is correct. However, you should always consult Doc 145837.1 in case you need to apply the latest legislative HRMS patches if you have HR/Payroll set up and installed.

  • NB520 - black screen when the POST and Windows 8.1

    Good afternoon!

    I'm in a strange problem.
    My netbook screen shows black during POST (Bios) and sometimes shows a few white lines, as interference.

    If I boot Windows OS 8.1 the problem persists.
    If I run Ubuntu, I can see everything normally.

    I looked on the connection of the screen and it touched to check the wire is ok, but is the same.
    If I connect an external VGA display I can see straight.

    Years, I changed the screen because it brokes.
    In the last months, I could see lines on the screen especially during the POST.

    It could be a screen issue, son...?
    The screen does not support some frecuences now?

    If you are able to access the BIOS.
    The HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS? You see the details of the HARD drive?
    If so, then that would mean that the HARD drive is ok and BIOS can see it.

    I don't know why J appears on the screen

    You said that you can boot from the CD. Have you checked if you boot the Linux Live disk?

    This doesn t require installation on the HARD disk, theoretically you should be able to start the distribution of Linux.

  • HP EliteBook 745/755/725 G3: Missing 'Label restore electronic tool' to fix the POST error boot in the BIOS 1.08

    The latest BIOS for the HP EliteBook 745/755/725 G3 made reference to a 'restoration tool electronic Label' to remove a MESSAGE error after flashing the BIOS to 1.08.

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?sp4ts.Oid=7815285&swItemId=ob_160552_1&swEnvOid=419...

    According to the release notes: "NOTE: for systems that do not comes with BIOS version 1.05 or later, this utility may be required if the BIOS has been updated.» Visit the page of the BIOS and drivers on www.support.hp.com and follow the instructions using the Restore tool from HP on the electronic label. »

    This tool can be found on the support Web site.

    If flashing the BIOS is causing this problem for systems shipped with a version of BIOS before 1.05 why is the tool not available to correct the problem?

    Better question is why was - this BIOS update published at all if it can cause a system to stop for 15 seconds during POST if you do not have the correction tool POST message as described in the release notes and the POST message?

    Version 1.01 of the electronic Label restore tool has fixed my problem.

    Please describe your problem in more detail. Tell us that that "cannot delete" means. Exactly how do you try? What happens when you try? If you get an error message, please quote verbatim.

    Or do you mean 'change' expansion, rather than "delete." Have you tried?

    I have a very simple question for the most technical of users Eloqua there - whence the POST request on a processing step of the forms "Post data to the server", leave the browser of the client or server of Eloqua backend?

    Hi Sam,

    Repost is done by Eloqua of the system from sending the form Eloqua. See link to additional documents. Eloqua9: form processing steps

  • Masking of the image of the poster in sequence with transparency

    Hi, people

    Just a simple question. I have a sequence of images with a described sweater in png, transparent background format and the first image as an image of the poster, as told in the help.

    When I place it on a white background, no difficulty. The image rotates when swipped and it stops after that.

    sequencespoiled.png

    The problem is that I want to put this sequence of images, partially on a flat color background and a few other square photo. The image sequence plays well, BUT the image of the poster there during rotation, spoil the effect. This does not happen when the n is color paper.

    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how to avoid this? Maybe placing the sequence of images as a State second in an MSO?

    Thank you very much

    Gustavo (detachment of Madrid)

    Andrew,

    This trick works well. Thank you!

    Your response, I paste here (as it was more detailed it) in order to have as well as a reference here:

    A way around this is to make a MSO of the first State being the first image in your sequence PNG and the second State being the image sequence.  You set the DSO to AutoPlay with a short interval (dry 0.125), tell him to play 1 time and stop at the last frame.  If you want to change the settings for image sequence once you have back the ASM just select the State in the object States Panel and double click on the image sequence.  Options in sequence of images such as "Drag to change the Image" should operate normally.

  • accidentally credited the poster of evil with a solution, how can I change?

    So, this is my third post to this community. My first post asked for a solution to a problem I had. My second post was to thank the poster who provided the solution, and then click the correct answer in the box of the poster. At least that is what I thought I did. However my second post has now determined in the thread that the post correct answer. Shortly after, I received a private message the poster who correctly answered to my question, angry with me to credit me instead of the correct poster for having responded to the question. How can I fix this error? I have checked and don't see any obvious way to cancel my previous answer mouse click.

    You can not fix it. Once the post is marked solved and points to be awarded, it cannot be changed. It was a good faith mistake. Don't worry about this.

  • Satellite A200 stops after the post

    Hello.

    I replaced the motherboard that was dead with a used one on ebay, the user declares that it functioned very well.

    Anyway after that I set up everything, it starts for a few seconds and then stops.
    Then I tried connecting the Council, except in the case of the laptop and it's the shutsdown, after awhile, except in certain positions, or if I press somewhere, then he has not stopped.

    I have reviewed everything carefully and I don't see any evidence of anything whatsoever that could short the motherboard...
    I took a few pictures for you to see how I managed to do work for a long time:

    http://i51.Tinypic.com/2upekw8.jpg

    He got up on the upper right. If I normally put it will not work.
    The strangest thing is that if I go into the BIOS by pressing F2, he used stop! forever there remains, after the POST, that is the case...

    But if meet the thing and tighten all bolts, even its worse, shutsdown in 1 or 2 seconds and doesn't show any video...

    What do you think is?

    Hello

    I think that it of almost impossible to say what could be bad exactly.
    If the MESSAGE cannot be passed correctly, it means that something is broken on the motherboard.

    Faulty or incompatible RAM can cause this problem but it s just a suggestion

  • Stuck at the screen of the POST - R500

    I have a R500 that one of my users has me just. It is stuck on the screen of the POST (ThinkPad splash) and does not respond to any keys pressed. I tried holding down the blue button "ThinkVantage" while turning on and still no response.

    I pulled the hard drive and plugged into another machine to be excluded as a possible problem. Which works very well. It seems that the system must be suspended during any of these POST I can't even access the start menu or the BIOS settings.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated so that I can get this user online.

  • T61 issue of Fan: turns silently to the POST, and then never...

    All,

    Any thoughts on what is happening here?

    I have a T61 with a 15.4 screen "and the Intel video subsystem. After about 10 minutes of operation under Windows, the system shuts down, and after that my wife brought this to my attention, I have observed that there is no flow of air coming out of the vent and the underside of the computer is very very hot. Fan death, right?

    So, I open the T61 upward, leaving the trackpad and keyboard connected and turn on, hoping to check a fan of bad/loud/clogged. Well, the fan starts spinning at the POST and it does so freely and so in silence, and after a few seconds, it turns down, never to go back to the top.

    There is no error message FAN ERROR on the screen at the POSITION either.

    This seems to be more a problem of controller fan than a problem real fan.

    Someone at - it advice or ideas?

    My gut reaction is that simply replace the fan will translate the new fan does exactly the same thing, but maybe someone can put me straight or share their experiences similar here with me.

    Thank you

    Warr

    Turn down the fan after POST is normal, but it should turn on again during or after startup.

    Please check the fan side, if they are blocked by dust. Block the propeller fan with a match or tooth-pick and blow compressed air from the outside through the sides into the heat sink.

    You should also take a look under the radiator and replace the thermal paste on the processor by a new. You can leave the thermal pads if they are not damaged.
