Help With A Tut

I am doing a tutorial that calls for dotted lines. I believe this tut is done with the newest version of Photoshop out there, so it has no problem making dotted lines. But I just cannot find a way to make them with my CS3. Dotted lines have always been easy in other graphics programs I've used.

I tried going to Style/ Dotted Strokes and I get a halfway decent result by using "no fill". But I can't get the lines in any color except white or black. It's not very editable, either.

Is there a way to get dotted lines or strokes with CS3?

Thanks,

I was just wondering if anyone knows how to achieve this particular style and would happily give me step-by-step instructions.

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, me and my mates just want the design that we can put on a t-shirt so i can get it printed. All i want is it as a jpeg or psd file on a blank background as i can put it onto the shirt my self. I would like the design to be based on the pic below. When i try and make it, it just doesn't fit in and looks stupid. The shirt will be white btw.


Thanks!!!

Probably a bad subject title so let me explain what I am trying to do.

I have a very basic image (screenshot 1). Trust me, this is not an exercise but similar to the image I will be using,ha!

I select each white circle and using smart erase I can erase each circle (screenshot 2) but I want a feathered/gradient effect like (screenshot 3).

Then when I add a background color it gives the effect I am after (screenshot 4).

So here is the issue - Each image will have 100's of white dots and they will be random on each image (sort of like a star field would be a good comparison). So I need to find a way to perform the same procedure all at once on all the dots (preferred way I would think), sort of like using smart erasure but with a feather effect, or need to create an "action" that will do that.

So I guess my questions a

1. Can one create a gradient that goes from "eraser-to-black", and then save it as a mask? (to use for question 2)

2. or perform the same task on each selected spot at the same time using a mask or

3. If I need to create an "action" for this how would one move from one spot to the next to perform the task on each spot?

Since I am new here I am beginning to search through the massive forums here but thought I would throw this out will I keep searching. Thanks so much.

Hi all.
I'm no newbie to Photoshop but today I came across something that annoyed me as it should be easy, but I just can't seem to make it work.
Ok, so let's say I have a load of text - lorem ipsum x 200 words - and I want to put that text in a shape and have it fill the shape.
Now, I know that I can make a path and click within it with the text tool to fill that path. However, I want to fill a shape that has a complex hole in the middle of it, which I want the text to flow around and past.
For example, let's say that I need to fill the area marked in green in the image below with text, leaving the white areas (there is also a white border) clear.
I have made a path but when I use the type tool it just fills in the rectangle and ignores the central area.
Any ideas?

Good afternoon everyone! For the past few days, i've been trying to cut away a peice of audio from a screenshot of my music program. Here's an example:
I'm essentially trying to get this: (my first initial "crop-out") I wanted to know if there was a cleaner, more efficient way I could remove the audio track from the screenshot? This one's a bit sloppy and the quality isn't so nice. The problem is, this cropout of the audio is going to be going on a t-shirt. I'm afraid the shirt's overall design will suffer if I continue the method i've been doing. I've used the lasso tool around one of the tracks, and toggled with the options in "Refine Edge..." until I came out with the image directly above ^. I'm not new to Photoshop but i'm far from an expert. ANY help or suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!!

Just found these Adobe Photoshop Tutorials that may help newbies to the program, I'd imagine many of you here are most likely aware of these, but for those that aren't hopefully it will help them

And there's also this for all Adobe products

When I try to trace an image with the pen tool, the tool will auto fill in my design. I cannot get the pen tool to trace only. How do I turn off the option to auto fill? Please see attached for an example.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
