Makes me...SO MAD!!! Not drawing with it, that's not the problem. My issue is trying to stroke the path to get it to do the fade thing on the ends, like the picture below.



For me it always only fades one end! I've read and reread at least ten tutorials, glossed over more, messed around with Shape Dynamics (Fade, Minimum Diameter, etc) and I'm about to shoot PS in the face. Even if I tick Simulate Pressure, it just fades the one end. I just want to figure out what the hell the issue is so I can stop being so mad at it before I really do shoot it in the face! >.<

By the way, I'm using CS3 Extended, if that makes any difference.

your problem is that your first control on shape dynamics is fade. this only fades it to one side. :]
you need to change it to pen pressure. you can play around with the minimum diameter below it to change how much it "dissapears" towards the end. the lower the number, the more it will fade. the higher the number, the less it will fade.

Thank you! biggrin.gif It woiked!

I guess I just never tried it because I thought you'd need a tablet, which I haven't got.

Anyway, thanks all! :]
