Along with how clearly presented and accessible your tutorials are you have a voice that is very pleasant to listen to. You have that quiet but enunciated way of presenting information that I associate with some of my best teachers, great worship leaders, and the high school girl from my bus when I was in grade school who one afternoon, when the bus slid on the ice and got trapped in a snow bank, taught me how to eat using chopsticks. It is that quality of quiet that draws your attention. It isn't like you actual need to lean in to hear them speak but you almost do with your body anyway because that is the posture of your mind as you work at focusing on exactly what they are saying. Such speaker often gives me that butterflies in the stomach feeling from my excitement or interest in what they will be saying next. It produces a sleepy sort of arousal stance from which to receive the information. I don't know if that communicates what I mean effectively. If not just know it is a good sort of attentive posture to produce in ones audience.

If you make a logo or lettering into a path and use the path selection tool and then make into a custom shape, the shape information will be retained as a vector within the EPS wrapper in photoshop. It is not a pure vector as with illustrator but it is sufficient for most scalable purposes.

To avoid using pathfinder to separate the white fill in the holes of the text, when you do your image trace click the arrow next to advance in the trace panel and select ignore white. This will automatically get rid of the white fill in the letters and the white background.

Thank you so much for your tutorial! I like all your lessons) But I have a problem with live trace) Usually, when I choose "Ignore White" in trace options my lettering becomes thinner, but sometimes i get more thicker letters than without checking this box. What is the reason?)
@EveryTuesday9 жыл бұрын
+илона кучинская My guess would be on rougher edges, ignoring the white eats into your letters a bit more to remove every trace of it. I personally like leaving it unchecked, then after vectorizing (where black is filled more than white is subtracted), selecting my white and removing it.
@theabsoluteworst19 жыл бұрын
This is awesome but for some reason, when I use the pencil tool to clean up my letters, it doesn't erase the edges.. It just puts a like through my letters, from where I drew with the wacom tablet..
@EveryTuesday9 жыл бұрын
yea, it will sometimes do that if you don't begin your line right on top of the original one (it thinks you're creating a new line instead of editing one). With the line you want edited selected, try beginning with the pencil right on top of a previous point to avoid how finicky it can sometimes be :). I hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching!
