Answer by Sandeep Thakur
what I think is that you are using color mixer brush tool.

there as 3-4 brushes under brush category. Using color mixer brush makes easy to mix colors with each other but it has some problems with the document boundaries.

If you brush nearby the document boundaries then it may give different color…

try using normal brush….

Question by Help Me Out!: 10 Points For The First Person To Answer Correctly! Getting a Gird on Adobe CS4 Slide?
I need to know how to put a grid (checker board) onto a Adobe Flash CS4 slide so I can get things exactly where I want them. Only problem is I don’t know how to. So my question is, How do I put a grid onto an Adobe CS4 Slide?
Please do not tell me to use my X and Y coordinates. Please just answer my question. Thank You Guys So Much.

Answer:

Answer by Lightningwire
Unless you need the exact X,Ys (like in a map) just import any gridded jpg into the slide and send it to the back of page. Organize you slide accordingly and delete the grid jpg once complete. (google grid images for good examples)

I do this sometimes in powerpoint to ensure each slide is setup the same.

Note: there also maybe a snap to grid option under the edit toolbar?

Q&A: Photoshop Elements brush?

Question by Alina: Photoshop Elements brush?
I was wondering how you get that brush that makes it so when you write something it duplicates it and draws it in revers on the other side. Please help, thanks.

Answer:

Answer by Key
Brushes in photoshop are just stamps. You could get a butterfly stamp, a flower stamp, whatever really but that stamp will always be the same as when you made it. So if you wanted to have text as a brush, you could do that but you can’t change words.

But, you can use the text tool and type what you want, then go to the layers tab to your right and right click on the finished text layer and select “duplicate layer”. Then with the new text layer highlighted go to the menu bar at the top and go to the “edit” tab and go to “transform” and then click “flip horizontal” Then just use the move tool (hit “V” on your keyboard to activate the tool [or it’s on your tool bar, that icon that looks like the mouse cursor with a cross thing next to it]) and then move the newly backwards text where ever you want

Q&A: How can I make a photoshop brush into a stencil?

Posted on by admin Leave a comment

Question by morocia: How can I make a photoshop brush into a stencil?
This is difficult to explain, and the answer is probably pretty simple but I’m going to try and ask anyways. I’m wanting to add some pretty realistic butterflies to a few of my pictures. (and other brushes, etc) However, I don’t want them to be just one or two colors. I need to know how to make the butterfly brushes into a stencil so I can fill the various fields in with different colors and textures. Is there an easier way to do this? I tried just using them with a black outline and then colored with various colors, blurred the colors…but they don’t look too realistic. Please help!

Answer:

Answer by Vicc
This isn’t a stencil… but it SHOULD give you the same result

Every time you wish to have some different colour, blur, textures for your butterfly etc create a new layer..

and then go to Edit blending options if you have a list of Textures click on the one you want and use it.

If you want a different colour just choose a different colour
and create a new layer for blurring it. if you only one in particular blurred.

I hope i helped

You need a web host supporting dreamweaver. Just refer to:
http://www.threehosts.com/dreamweaver

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

You can reach reviews about this web hosting provider and its latest DISCOUNT COUPONS at:

Only $ 3.95 /month (with discount coupon).

******IMPORTANT********
* This service was awarded the “Best Web Hosting OF The Year”.
* If you sign up for this service you will have $ 75 credits to advertise your website with the google & yahoo search engines for free!
* You Can Register A Free Domain or Use Your Existing Domains. They Support All Domain Names.

Q&A: How can I add subtitles to a video using Premiere CS4?

Posted on by admin Leave a comment

Question by Paloma Barriga Olarte: How can I add subtitles to a video using Premiere CS4?
I have a video and I’d like to know if it’s possible to add subtitles directly with Prmiere CS4 or if I need any other software. Thank you all!!!

Answer:

Answer by Bonce Bonce
Though it would be tedius, you can do subtitles using the Titler:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS4B135E60-DB71-4971-A020-01F0EFE4EA9Ca.html
The only other option within Premiere would be to use a third party plugin, likely expensive like eztitles.com

However, it is usual to do the subtitles as part of DVD authoring. If you have Adobe Encore, that would be easier. Or you could generate the subtitle data (.SRT, etc.), e.g. with Subtitle Workshop
http://www.urusoft.net/products.php?cat=sw
though you’d need to render/encode with another program if you want ‘burned in’ subtitles.

I would avoid rendering as ‘burned in’ unless stricly necessary – much better as DVD or SRT (youtube and nearly all media players render SRT).

Q&A: how do i use my downloaded brushes in photoshop 6.0?

Posted on by admin Leave a comment

Question by rio: how do i use my downloaded brushes in photoshop 6.0?
Everytime I try to use one of my downloaded brushes a window pops up stating that the brushes could not be loaded because the file is not compatible with my version of photoshop. But all the files are abr. how can i fix that?

Answer:

Answer by EmJay
Brushes made in Photoshop can only be used in versions equal to or higher than the one they were created in. It means that more recent version brushes are not backwards compatible. This is because the brush engine changed, became more complex, starting with version 7 and later versions but earlier version 6 brushes are usable in later versions. You may try looking for some programs which can access these files and probably convert them for an older version or you may learn to make your own brushes (tones of google and youtube tuts).
