Vectors and cleaning edges advice please

hi,
note: for your info cs4 is up to patch 11.0.1
this issue of multible temple '2... has me mystified.....

on one hand i was thinking that it was corrupted ps file... but sometimes you don't get it... basically a intermittant problem...!!

could be buggy issue with cs4 ... something else to look at...
in your ps preferences.. now i am not quites sure about this.... but in the "memory and cache" tab..... memory generally from what i under stand appx 50% by default is dedicated to ps ... so you may want to check and see if that ok... now on the cache there... mine shows cache level of 4 ..... but if you have alot of ram.. you can go to 8 .... now i don't know if this will help or not... but i can't that it can hurt to try....

now you might try this photoshop board... it looks active... maybe some one there can help with this issue....

i found this link.. it not going to help with the presetn issue however... it looks like a good reference on a lot of the tools and features... and how there used.. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/index.html

if you can send post a screen capture of your screen....

Thanks for those links

im gonna take sometime to read them before

i see if i have anymore questions

A busy work week still ahead

So your getting dots as well or is it just me ?

CS2 on my laptop , same damn thing

So it must be me .......

i follow meticiously the instructions...

Thanks again

could you post a screen shot of your ps window... i'll compare the pallet to mine and see if i can see anything...

now on that vector mask on temple two... instead of using the vector mask try using the layer mask... that what i had to do to make it work out...

OK

ill do that after work

so temple 1 still vector mask ?

Thanks

hi,
wait a minute.... there shouldn't be a vector mask on temple 1!!

now you should show a a vector mask on the texture background layer and also on temple 2 layer.... but NOT on temple 1....!!

and like mentioned to get the results on temple 2 i ended up using the layer mask and not the vector mask...

sometimes today... i will post a picture of my pallet also.,..

also i been going to another board which has a some very talented people.....ask 3 questions that related to your isse... and the board has lot poeple... but so far.... the questions i ask but so far only a couple of replies and those replies not sufficent.... grrr... apparently no one has any good answer for me...lol

Thank you

Your really going above and beyond

Much appreciated

Just as an update

i decided to try another tutorial as a test

i did the fairy girl one

i had to select an eye from one document and paste

it onto another , and then transform-rotate it

Guess what happened when i rotated it

Yup

It doubled itself

Hmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,

hi,
i understand you got cs2 installed.... try using the cs2 you have installed see if it does it with that

OK

Thats cs2 on my laptop

i ll do that

Prob being its intermittant here on cs4

The other night it didnt do it on cs2 on laptop

i ll try again

Thanks

hi,
oh,
i thought you had cs2 on the same machine as your cs 4..... ok cs it will probably work just fine that rotating....

a couple of things ..food for thought....

1. as far as vector mask and layer mask... from what the guy is doing... layer mask would i think been better.... so as far as the turtorial just go ahead and use layer mask instead of vector when he call for it....

2. on the rotation..... how are you selecting the objct to rotate.. do youuse the move tool and then adjust where you get the curve arrow and move or you choose rotate? etc...... curious...

i am starting to think that it might be a issue between your photoshop and the graphic card oooorrrrrr ... there something wrong with the cs 4 installation...... if your drivers are up to date.. maybe reinstall cs 4.... it an idea

Frig

i just updated to 11.01

Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrr

Same problems...

i ctrl-alt-t or edit - transform-rotate

im not too sure on how to get outta the rotate selection

so what i do is hit move tool and am faced with

apply-cancel-dont apply

Then i apply

im not sure what he means by resize , i missed that step till now

what and how does he propose one do that ?

Yes i use move tool

heres a tidbit

when i rotate i see temple double underneath , but when i cancel out of

rotate its not doubled , as i was typing i just tried again and it didnt

double

Cheers

OK heres 3 screens

note in both how temple 2 is between paper and temple 1

notice how temple 2 is doubled after i transform-rotate

and its in B n W

even when i bring that layer to front its still between paper

and temple 1 , but in colour

Cheers

PS

i totally cleaned cs4 uninstall before reinstalling and updating

Cheers

Hmmmm

maybe it wasnt a clean uninstall

because some non PS brushes i was using are still in brush window

How can that be ?

Grrrr

Hi m8

Heres wot i got so far

Up to step 3 complete

Does this look right ?

When applying layer mask-reveal all the brush colour going on was

white tho i had black chosen , it was black in a test on another pic tho

To solve the rotate/doubling and in between layers problem

n step 3


to paste temple behind temple 1 as shown in tutorial i move pallette selection to layer 1 just under temple 1 and above curves 1

So this is what i have thus far

Cheers
