awakenedbyowls Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I just want to make the white boundary on this design a bit thicker - expand it out a bit - but it looks like I've taken groups of pixels layers and rasterised then and so the program has clipped them so when I expand the area of the vector object out now the brush strokes that were previous laid down are not there - and so therefore I end up with this hard edge 🤦♂️ Does anyone know a way I can fix this that avoids me having to redo all the pigging brush strokes again?

awakenedbyowls Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Ah whatever - I just worked out a fix by duplicating and reflecting off the edges I'm guessing that's all I can do because the brush strokes outside the boundary I was previously using are gone forever now probably ! 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakenedbyowls Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Honest to god, how hard does expanding a frigging border out have to be? I employed this roundabout way and now I've got a pixel thin line running round the middle of the border - I tried applying an eraser to the group of layer and touching it up which then left a mask layer and the jpg conversion came out rubbish! 🤮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakenedbyowls Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Anyone know how to get rid of these lines? These vector objects are supposed to be TOUCHING - I duplicated and reflected so I could expand the border area out and I did it this way because the pixel brushes got clipped What a nightmare - for all the difference it'll probably make? Failing this I'll just frigging redo ALL the brush effects tomorrow again if the software isn't going to work with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakenedbyowls Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 The way I brushed it up before left me with this terrible effect on the jpg conversion 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted March 20 Staff Share Posted March 20 Do you have a copy of this document before the layers where rasterised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a DVD backup somewhere probably I'm just going to roll with it - it shouldn't make a lot of difference anyway but I'm a perfectionist Busy trying to wrap up some new designs for a print run - fun part is the next few days breaking my back cutting up A1 mount board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
