<p>I'm trying to create line drawn animation. My friend sent me a bitmap image of the background, but it is not of good quality. Therefore, i do not want to convert it to a vector graphic directly.</p> <p>Instead, I am using photoshop's pen tool to trace the image out, but it just keeps giving me a coloured area whenever I have more than three points.</p> <p>How should I use the pen tool to create line drawings.</p>

<p>I'm trying to make an animated .gif, in Photoshop, that contains several layers of transparency. There are several layers each having a different transparency. It looks great when viewed in the work area, but after saving it, the image appears to have only two levels of transparency. The spots where the pixels are completely opaque and spots where there are no pixels at all; there is no in-between. </p> <p>I have the transparency checkbox is checked s I don't understand what the problem is.</p>

<p>In Photoshop you can create shape vectors visually and then use Transform-Scale if the shape needs to be resized. My shape needs to be pixel measured exactly, but the Scale only lets you scale by percentage and not actual pixels. </p> <p>How can I create a shape that has exact pixel dimensions?</p>
