Not sure then.

This AP tool doesn't match up to PS...yet. That's a fact.

I've tried to follow the steps but it seems something I can't see what happens after you jig jag shape is made and you add the gradient. There is some sort of function that allows this to happen so quickly. Can you explain what is happening here?

Crabtrem this is what he wants to do https://youtu.be/nyDGSXb4B48?t=38s I get the same distortion you get Soulartist, not sure how PS does this but it works great. AP may need to get this tool updated is all I can say.

This is the first time I see the explanation on the leading options, glad the OP asked and glad for lengthy explanation. A video on this would be helpful for the visual learners.

Not sure what you mean Joaquim. It's best to describe in depth to make sure we can find a solution for you faster. Can you please explain?

Where do you see the setting that allows to decrease pixel dimension?

Clearly RCR is just asking why it is so, not that he can't get to his goal which btw is a simple image.

+1 This should be addressed.

Group the layers and highlight the group then go to FX layer styles and choose Gaussian blur it will blur everything in the layer.

I have a question on snapping candidates, if I have several shapes in a doc why does snapping only work with, in this video's case 2 objects? Why can't there be snapping for every object? I know that can get annoying I guess but in the same manner having to slow down to select the candidate is cumbersome. On another note about snapping, why are there options listed that no matter what preset I select at the drop down or manually select, I can't get certain ones to engage like Snap to Gaps and Sizes and Construction Lines (??)?

You can do exactly the same thing in AD! Just grab the selection brush in the Pixel persona and select the skin, then proceed with your method of highlights and shadows.

I agree gradients are obviously not smooth.

Here is what I do in these cases, unless someone else has another solution, I don't believe there is a merge layers in AD. What I do is group the layers that I want to merge by highlighting them in the layers panel, then CMD+G or right click either highlighted layer, choose group. Then highlight group layer, right-click and choose Rasterize. This should work well for most scenarios. Haven't tried merging every type of object. Like I said this works for me. There are no filters in AD only in AP, so the Add Noise filter is only found in AP. There is a basic add noise substitute in AD by engaging the Noise slider in the toolbar shown.

Paintstorm has what I was looking for, just saw this. Would be awesome to have in AD/AP as well! https://youtu.be/k7M_V9-1CCE

It would be nice to be able to save text styles in frames with all attributes like leading, color, etc. and apply to other text frames.

Is this not new?

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear in my question, in the Dynamics settings do you have Flow Jitter set pretty high? I have mine set like this: the profile helps too. If this doesn't help I don't what it could be. I apologize in advance if you already know your way around in these settings.

What is your flow set to? If you have 100% Flow with pressure turned on, you can get lighter flow of color.

No issues here, running a Wacom Intuos 3 Small. I am using the 6.3.11w3 driver if that helps.

I just wanted to see if we can fix AD/AP as they are in their present stages and then maybe call them versions 2.0. Just make them solid apps with the feature sets they have now. I am sure the original and new users would be very pleased with this. As more and more users are jumping on this great bandwagon, seems more people are finding holes that should be patched before we move on with new features, no? Just my honest opinion. I believe there are still real old requests that haven't been addressed and to me this is all getting a bit discouraging.

None. I have done some in 300dpi, half the size then they resize it.

I work with creating banners all the time and if it's going to have photos on it then I would send no smaller that 200 dpi, can get by with 150dpi though. Enter the size change it to the dpi and then color is CMYK.
