Julie Magerka Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I am embarrassed to say how many times I tried to create the paper as shown in Lab 13, Mod 6. I get the weirdest configuration when I flood fill with the image I have. I have checked and re-checked over and over the directions in the video and this is still what I get. I know it's me, but I can't figure out what precisely it is. s! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking at the Notebook PDF I would suggest you crop your original really small, right down to the edge of the black pattern, as shown on the top of this page. Your background is too large at this point. Using the smaller version as fill I think it will look like the demo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libera Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I just looked at this PDF I downloaded last month and tried it first exactly as described. I resized the image to 50 pixels, then scaled the pattern to 100 and the angle 45. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Magerka Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 It's after I create the punched hole on a canvas 200x200px and resize it down to 50x50 that I get the problem. When I flood fill on a new image, it shows only the small punched out shape with lots of spaces between. Looks so simple and yet I'm so bewildered by the results I get.

The instructions as they are don't work for me. But, when I make the first punched out hole smaller than 150 and use a smaller canvas to begin with (150x150 px & flood filled with black), then it works, and I can leave the pattern settings at angle 45 and scale 100 with no strange results. Bloody mystery to me. Thanks for helping, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody mystery to me. Thanks for helping, folks. I see. The problem is likely that when you resize, the box for "Resize all layers" is unchecked, so the design resizes but the canvas does not follow. Have a look and see if it is checked or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libera Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Julie, I just made another test, unchecked the box "Resize all layers" and got exactly the result you obtained the first time. I followed Caroles tip, my box was checked before, so I had not the "mystery" ?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one little tick-box overlooked and it throws everything out. Thanks for your kind help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libera Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Yes, just a little box and so much "mystery"... I added the screenshot in case you wouldn't see this part immediatly. It's like not seeing the forest for the trees sometimes. I must honestly say I wouldn't have known it, if Carole hasn't added this little but such important detail. Just chance for me that the box was already checked ? Edited June 12, 2023 by libera 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many little boxes and settings to pay attention to and adjust. It's an endless process of learning and watching the smallest details. More work than I want sometimes.

But you do point out most of them, so that's good. It's up to me to check more closely to see what settings are there for that tool at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate when the settings show in the screen shot or the video. I forget which tutorial I was having problems with because following the directions just wasn't working. I wasn't getting anything like your example. If I remember right, there was one screen shot that showed the settings and once I used those, it worked. I know you like to zoom in especially on the videos but sometimes being to actually see the settings really helps! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often try to use the help topics, the user guide or "google" before I ask a question, but the matter is you don't always find the answer for a specific question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carole, you do so much for us and the campus, it's quite natural not to think of each setting-listing every time. And if we have a problem we can't solve alone, we simply ask here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
