When you draw paths, what percentage of level best to see the image?

Hello

When drawing paths in the PS, which is the best level increase percentage to display the image? I find that 200 to 400% is sometimes useful, but sometimes 300% is too big and the edges of my selection become indistinguishable from the background. What are the techniques of zoom percentage that others use all pulling the railways?

Thank you.

Patrick, the answer is that it all depends on what you're trying to isolate, how you plan to use and how fast you need to do. I will describe a couple of scenarios.

If you are knocking out 25 pictures of products, you need to go fast. Some studios will order their retouchers remain with zoom at 50% only. For general color/brightness, no drama, describing changes a form on this scale will be fine. The resulting mask will not be perfect, but it will go faster than the zoom to 100% because you will be with less detail.

If you need a little more precision, zoom and more. So the question is: where to place the path on the edge of the element you want to isolate.

If you plan to break the clip from the bottom, then place the path inside the border of the element. As long as you're fairly accurate, the fact that you can cut the edge pixels will be not easy for the Viewer to the end. It's better, because you can trim off the coast, say, clothing fabric in excess and idealize shape more. When hit against a new background, the shape will be better and no one will notice that you have trimmed it anyway.

If you plan to keep this element in their existing background environment, you have to be more specific. As you say, you could perform a current zoom 100%. I'll generally not much past plu 150% because we always need to take a view of the overall shape, the forest from the trees so to speak. In this case, you'll want to put the path in the pixel areas liminal along the edge - right between where you see the transition of the element edge pixels and the background. If you make dramatic changes hue/lightness, you will need to massage the mask edge later to reduce the edges that appear.

And don't forget to put a small feather on the resulting mask is always the key.

Hope that helps, check out my blog if you are interested to learn more about the techniques of cutting, I'll post some in the future.

  • funny things happening when you draw a line

    We're talking Ai CS5.

    I have a work plan with a mixture between 2 wavy paths, the kind of thing that you hope that the customer will not ask new :-)

    A path is in line with a horizontal guide at the top on the artboard and down by another.

    I draw a line between the two guides and nowhere segment near the mixture and expect to get just a boring straight line. Instead I'm out a lengthened version of the plantings, starting at the top with the first path and passing all stages of mixing arriving downstairs with the second path.

    Sorry, I have to describe it that way, but when I tried again once it no longer works, so I can't show you the result. Can someone explain what's happened here?

    TIA

    Steven

    Looks like you were in the Mode of insulation of the Blend object - you could accidentally entered this mode without realizing it by double-clicking on the object of the mixture. Now when you draw a simple line, the mixture is getting redesigned because now he sees 3 trails blend instead of the 2 paths.

    I hope this helps.

    What kind of image is in a document. INDD so when the file is opened you get the message 'document contains 6 links to sources that are missing' and when you click OK to recreate a link to missing files, the document opens with the images? Missing images are not on my computer, but when the document opens the images are there. I can copy and paste the INDD images in Illustrator. Y files/images/I am able to copy and paste the images that have been incorporated into the INDD file in AI of the INDD file? If this is not what type of image am I copy and paste?

    The images could be anything - check the links Panel.

    Hello

    Error occurs when you use SQL Server 2012 assessment vs window detail of the object in window 7.  I use the window of the object but the detail of the objects window arrives and immediately SQL Server stops with the error below and then opens again.  I didn't find any help with this specific error is but suspect there is a problem between SLQ Server 2012 et.NET Framework 4.  Unfortunately, I do not know what it takes in this regard.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

    • If it works well before?
    • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    I recommend you perform the clean boot and check.
     
    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    Note:
    after a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists in safe mode, create a new user account and log on to it

  • When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot?

    When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot? Referencing external drives through library (Windows V7) becomes a really shiny, totally useless feature without consistency of drive letter. Or unnecessary to be a design goal? I almost had it still works but who finally to 3 minutes). What it will take to make useful new features?

    Windows assigns the first available on the first hard drive connected and one drive letter to another and so on.  Always has, always will. What will help sometimes (but), is to open disk from an elevated command prompt management and adversely affect permanent a letter from your external drive which is much higher than the letters in use.  This will often allow the will to keep a letter.

    * Original title: Windows Media PLayer

    I have Windows Media Player version 12 installed but when you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the picture.  Please see image attached.

    Even if I see that I can change the version of the file in a different format, I have the same problem with videos on websites that I can not of course change the format before playing these.

    I managed to fix the problem for about 20 minutes by flattening my computer re - install the operating system and this resolved until all updates have been through, and then it disappeared again.  I tried many codecs packs and this still does not help.

    My system is running Windows 7 and Media Player version is 12.0.7601.18840, which tells me that Media Player is the most recent version.

    Please can someone help?

    Open uninstall a program in windows and in the left click on the feature to turn on or off windows. Clear the check box of the window Media Player, and then click ok. This will uninstall the drive, and then restart.

    After restarting the same steps, now, check the box for the same and perform a restart and if all goes well it should solve the problem.
