  1. I am using Illustrator CS4 and when I highlight the text with the text tool, I get a grey box that covers the text and I can't see text anymore. Only when I zoom in real close the text it becomes visible. I must have changed a setting or hit a shortcut key somewhere. I would appreciate any help. Thanks
  2. This looks like they use a brush, like artistic ink or paint, then applied it to a custom drawn font.
  3. Yeah, that's the way I use to work, but it takes way too much time. Thanks for replying, though. beatnik, if you take the images you want to divide to a new file, circles in pink and brush stroke effect in black, use the divide as explained previously. Then go to Select/same/fill color or stroke/pick black and then hit the delete and all the black will delete leaving only the pink in the disired look you wanted. Then copy and paste it back to your work project. That should save you a bunch of time.
  4. I think some one mentioned it earlier. Go to object, go down to Expand appearance and that should do it.
  5. Here are a couple of tutorial site to get you started. Illustration.com and vectordiary.com
  6. The way I do it is to go to the windows file, find the font file , open it. After you have unzipped the file, grab the file you want, drag it to the font folder and drop it in. I have vista and if anyone knows a better way, I would like to here it too.
  7. I think Illlustrator is better because it is vecter based and can be manipulated easier than Photoshop. I may be wrong because I am not as skilled in Photoshop.
  8. I found it in EDIT>PREFERENCES>GENERAL and then you Check the box, SCALE,STROKES & EFFECTS. It will keep your stroke weight to scale when you resize your object.
  9. I have an object outlined with a stroke, when I scale the object down the stroke weight wont scale down with it . I know there must be a setting that I can set to do this automatically, because it used to do it, but I can't remember where it is. Any help would be appreciated. 33H
  10. simple question here, I used to be able to move objects around using the keyboard arrows. All of the sudden I can't. Did I lock the arrow keys somehow or change a preference by accident? If so, how can I fix it? I have Illustrater 8 Thanks in advance.
  11. Try saving your illustrator file as an eps file, and then reopen it in photoshop. Thanks guys for the fast response. Changing it to an eps. file did the trick. H
  12. I use Illustrater 8 and photoshop and when I retrieve the file from Illustrater into photoshop, the black turns to a dark gray.The problem is trying to get the black to be black without darkening the other colors too. Thanks, H
  13. you're right in Ill8 (which i happen to still have on this machine - man, you gotta love that load time... anyhoo) the ability to lock in your pallettes preferences didn't occur untill Ill CS2. There's gotta be a way to do it. I can't imagine it get lock in in such a random manner. I'll keep fishin around and if I figure it out I'll post it here or if someone else knows how to solve this problem, it would be appreciated. H
  14. when you get your pallettes to where you want them to be, go to the "window" menu, then click the "workspace" submenu. from there you can save your workspace and when you want to reload it, it's always in that menu. I went to windows and there is no workspace submenu. Is this window in Illustrater 8 ? I appreciate the help joel_fiasco. H
