THANKS! one thing i didnt understand though was the allignment thing. im not sure if what you said is what i need to do but i ment like the tool in flash. if you have a bunch of vertical lines you can just hit a few buttons and they are perfectly aligned...if theres not can or how do people make evenly spaced lines and stuff? thanks again |

The best way for me to do evenly spaced lines, is to make a document, the distance that I want the lines to be apart..make one line at the left of it (ortop if it's horizontal lines) then select all, and go to |

ok i tried the pen thing and that was just anyoying as hell....i could take a part and just bend it it bent in both directions oppositely. what i ment was like the one big line they guy shows in the Light Zapish effect? thread. you know where it is straight then it bends downwards a little. like i said before when i clicked on the line the pen made it just bent it both ways. thanks |

Pardon my jumping in like this, but if I'm not mistaken, you're referring to the lines in DarkGarden's "demonstration" of the light ray effect. If so, apparently he drew those lines freehand. As for the pen tool, it can be fantastically frustrating until you get the hang of it. The Photoshop user guide is your best friend in this case. Anyway, I think what you want to do is adjust the two arms of the anchor point independent of each other? Well, you have to use the "convert-anchor-point tool" - the one in the expanded pen tool bar that looks like a little angle or just the leading edge of an arrow...like this thing here > - and that will allow you to move the two arms seperately. I hope some or all of that helped. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/tongue.gif"> |
