Few photoshop q's

  1. how do you make only 1 pixel lines, when i do it, it makes pixels around the line like alphad pixel lines, i cant do just 1 pixel only.

  2. how do i make boxes, like in flash i just select box tool, clear off the inside color and make a box, in ps i cant do this

  3. can i snap to objects in ps? how.

  4. any other useful problems people have going from flash drawing to ps, its just so **** hard… thanks so much

I dont’ use PS so i could be wrong here, but i’ll give it a shot

  1. you need to turn off anti-aliasing… this is smoothing that the computer does to stop ‘jaggies’ - crappy looking lines with pixelly edges, and it does this by blurring, hence your alpha’d pixels

  2. there is a box tool for PS, but i don’t know how to use it. I think once you make the box you can apply stroke to the path to make it a visible box or something… maybe.

  3. no idea, but i would hope so :stuck_out_tongue:

4)sorry, no idea once again

To get a box, you use the Rectangular Marquee selection tool, draw the size box you want, then go to Edit --> Stroke. Select a 1px width and Centre, and that’ll draw your box.

Pixel lines::

You have a selection tool there for 1 pixel lines, its a large skiiny rectangle looking icon. Called Sigle row and single column marquee tool. Use this to create 1 pixel lines.

2: Kit answer

3: Yes you can snap to rules that you pull out from the rulers, (Ctl R for PC) You can snap to a grip which you can make visable, View/ Show / Grid.

Make sure you have “snap” turned on, (a tick next to the name means its turned on)

All sorts of snapping, check the View / Snapto for a list of things you can turn on and off of object you can snap to.

4: its not too hard, Say you want to select a part of a object in flash and delete it off in flash, all you do is select it and press delete, yes easy, all you do in photoshop is select a Selection Marquee and then make the selection around the part you want to delete, make sure you select the layer of the object you want to delete, make the selection (running ants) then press delete.

If you use a pen tool in flash, you also have a pen tool in photoshop, you can create selection, with work paths and make shapes by drawing bezier curves and such.

If you have any other problems , post them and ill see if i can help you out.
