Hold down Alt before pressing the "Add" button. This will save the shape's editable parameters.

Hint: You can see exactly what the image will be like after exporting, directly in your workspace. To do this, use the Pixel view mode. And turn on Precise clipping in the settings: Edit > Preferences > Performance > Use precise clipping.

You have to indent inward using the Contour Tool, or remove the anti-aliasing from the bottom object using the Coverage Map. Contour Tool, works non-destructively, preserving the original object. ContourTool-&-CoverageMap.mp4

Hi, Can you provide the file? Then we can see how the object is made, and where the problem is.

Understood.

I suppose you could skip a few steps of mask manipulation by creating a new one and loading a "Spare Channel" into it. But the main question is why the "Rasterise & Trim" command does not work with the mask Mask_Trimming.mp4

Hold down the space bar.

Like this, but without numeric input. Alignment_Handles.mp4

In a case like this, it makes sense to use the AD and Corner Tool. Corner_Tool.mp4

If you hold down the space bar while controlling the bezier handles, it will allow you to move the point to correct when you make a mistake. Handles+Spacebar.mp4

You may find it useful to use ready-made PBR texture sets. They are designed for 3D graphics, but they can also be used in 2D, to create very realistic surfaces. The AP allows you to use a ready-made PBR texture set. You will need at least 3 of the PBR texture sets, Height, Albedo, Normal. You can buy PBR or download it for free: https://www.textures.com/browse/pbr-materials/114558 https://ambientcg.com PBR.mp4 The Height map must be loaded into the Lighting filter by pressing the "Load bump map" button in the Lighting filter settings. For the Height map, it is preferable to use a 16-bit PNG.

Hi, You can create a layer-mask which is a normal layer and therefore works with all Adjustments. Try this method:

@jmwellborn wow, it looks like you're not using it for 3D graphics and 3D models, but for something else in 2D.

A really good set. The Rhyolite brush is very impressive! 👍 And it also gives an interesting effect as an eraser.

Yes, it might be a matter of pixel display. Check the "Pixel View Mode" as @NotMyFault mentioned. Pixel_View_Mode.mp4

Tip: Additional options will appear when you select pixels as units.

You can also rescale using artboards. In this case, the physical size of the raster object will change, but its pixel count will remain unchanged. Resample.mp4

Previous explanations were insufficient for new users. More detailed explanations: Installing 1. Download and install the Normal_Map_Generator.afassets file by simply dragging it into the program window. 2. Open the "Assets" panel (View > Studio > Assets), and select "Normal Map Generator" from the list. Using 1. Open in AP the image that you want to convert to a normal map. This step is necessary in order to create a document with the target resolution. 2. Drag and drop the blue "Normal Map" icon from the "Assets" panel, into your document. You should get this set of layers: 3. Expand the group, and hide or delete the "Logo" layer. 4. Double-click on the "Lighting" layer and its settings will open. Click on the "Load bump map" button, and select the same texture you opened in step 1. 5. Use the "Texture" slider to adjust the bump value.

Create a composite mask with the group, and you can see all its parts, and edit it like a regular layers.

Hi, This is a method of creating a completely non-destructive mask that allows you to use a normal layer as a mask, and do with it everything you can do with a normal layer, without any restrictions. You can also use a group as a mask! Everything you put in this group automatically becomes a mask, and you can mix them together in Multiply mode, for example. This way a mask can be a composite of multiple layers of any type (raster, vector, color, grayscale). This gives full creative freedom! This non-destructive mask method, created with two layer settings, Blend Ranges and Erase Blend mode. This method creates a mask from any Layer type, in a non-destructive way, keeping the original intact. And also apply Live Filters, and Adjustments. 1. Select the layer that should be the mask2.
