  • The pen tool and Confusion mask

    Noob.

    I'm confused by the pen tool and masks.

    I got a tutorial and it worked OK,

    now in the field it doesn't.

    I want to draw a mask around an object.

    I click once with the tool pen to leave a point.

    I click a 2nd time and drag, expects the Bézier handles.

    but it only moves the 2nd point.

    I clicked on a third point, and verticies related to point 2 are now curved,

    but I do not see the Bézier handles.

    Next: The Edit mask.

    I can't move individial points,

    I can only take the whole mask to move.

    What don't I understand here?

    When you select a node (think it might be a single node selection), it should show the Bézier handles.

    No, if the mode is set to Rotobezier, which uses a different method of Bezier handles to set the voltage.

  • I'm cutting an image with the pen tool and when I make a selection it selects the entire image and not cutting. How can I stop this?

    The selection inverse basically when I don't want to do that! Any help would be great, it becomes very annoying.

    Thank you

    You will need to have the selected operation before you begin to chart your way?

    You can always for this instance to save time you Ctrl + Alt + I, and then return?

  • Do not place 'points' where I point the pen tool

    Hello

    We have just installed Illustrator CS5.1 on all our computers here, and one of our designers is to have a really weird problem I've ever seen elsewhere.

    I made a short video of it:

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Lft2ipMtkME

    Basically, it selects the pen tool and when she clicks anywhere, the starting point is moved from a random distance away from its mouse for some reason any.

    Anyone seen this before?

    Thanks in advance,

    Thomas

    Could be snapping to the grid, this keyboard shortcut could be reached accidentlaly.

  • Refine the edge using the pen tool?

    I can select with the pen tool and then use the side I refine my selection?

    Yes you can but not directly. Right-click on the canvas after you create your drawn path and in the menu, select "make a selection. You can refine that as usual.

  • Question about the pen tool (w / photo inside)

    Hi all! I have a question about the pen tool. I think that this picture is very useful for my question:

    Demonstration.jpg

    So in this pic is an orange rectangle, and within this rectangle is a blue strip. I would like the blue band surface perfectly (not too much and not covered) the edge of the rectangle. For example, on the lower end of the blue band, you can clearly see that the band does not extend quite far to the edge of the orange rectangle. At the top of the band, he's a little more (a little hard to see). I work with some complex shapes when you use the pen tool and it's really slow me down to compensate for over/under Forms. If she could just snap to the borders of the other forms that would make my life a lot easier. Thanks for reading and please help!

    Duplicate the orange shape and change the fill color to blue. Draw your new shape on that layer, using the Intersect option.

  • 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 foc

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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 use CS6 and when I use the pen tool, it removes the Interior isn't the external image of the image

    I've been using photoshop cs5 and cs6 for some time, but I've never encountered this problem. Whenever I use the pen tool to draw an object and I close the outline object, it deletes the object I have traced him and not the bottom. It's really annoying and I can't change it. I have spentt a good amount of time to try to change but I don't know how. Can someone please help I also watched online, but there is nothing to help.
    Thank you Alex

    Hello

    This is probably the path setting operations.

    The default setting in photoshop cs6 is to exclude the shapes that overlap, and you can also use forms combine.

  • copy and mirror of the pen tool path

    I am currently using Photoshop CS6 and trying unsuccessfully to reflect the way I created with the pen tool.

    Thank you.

  • When you use the pen tool when I click and create an anchor point and release the mouse button the pen tool emerges from the anchor and allow me to go and select a new anchor point. The right pen tool keeps adding lines that I move the mouse.

    Hello

    Can someone share a PDF to images so that the employee can use the pen tool to increase (x-out arrow, circle, go here) with the pen tool, online, in the cloud of Adobe Document?

    You can share PDFs using Adobe Doc Cloud, but you can't supplement online and collaborate.
