Makes you really wonder why they didn’t add a stroke option.

@VisualTimmy Жыл бұрын

I agree, maybe they will add it 😀

They need to add strokes or expand/contract selections ASAP. This work around is not good at all ☹️

@VisualTimmy Жыл бұрын

Hope to see that soon! Currently, theres a "feather" selection setting once you have made a selection, and this works by expanding the selection and fading it (or feathering it) out. I could see them expanding this feature to include a simple "expand selection". Hopefully soon :)

3d option as well. you should be able to select what you want and stretch it and choose if you want it on that layer or not as well as outlining

I think I am doing something wrong, the Gaussian Blur Works but when Automatic, instead of showing the blue around the image, the blue its showing on the full screen, any suggestion?

@VisualTimmy Жыл бұрын

When you tap to select, don’t lift up your pen. Then slide to the left or right to adjust the selection strength!

whenever I try to use the automatic selection tool, procreate is non responsive when I touch the stylus to the iPad. Can anyone help?

@VisualTimmy Жыл бұрын

I would try to update your iPad iOS, then update the procreate app! Then restart the iPad. This usually solves any issues. Let me know!

Mine doesn't have a blue outline, and when I do the ending fill layer, it turns the whole thing white 😭

Mine doesn’t show this blue outline!!!! So frustrating!

@VisualTimmy 11 ай бұрын

Is your "sticker" on a separate layer with transparent background? If not then the automatic selection tool, might select the entire layer, instead of just your graphic.

@DesignzRUs1 Жыл бұрын

Can you please help me?! When I reach the tap and drag part, I never get the blue outline…my entire canvas turns blue! I don’t know what to do, it doesn’t work! :(

@VisualTimmy Жыл бұрын

your selection threshold is likely too high. Also, you might be able to check if you have a layer set to "reference" as this would cause your selections to not work correctly. 1. Make sure no layers are set to reference 2. Select the layer that you have just used a small amount of gaussian blur on 3. use the selection tool, and set it to automatic 4. Tap the far right of the canvas and drag to the left to reduce the selection threshold. If this does not work, please send me an email to tim@vt.supply with a video of the issue so I can better assist you!

the only thing i can’t stand about this(not OP’s fault), is no matter how high you set your dpi, that white border is always jagged. it frustrates me that Procreate hasn’t made this process easier, like an “auto stroke” option with preset widths and effects, with SMOOTH borders. this method, is the issue, not this particular tutorial. others have produced similar tutorials. it’s what we’re left to deal with.

@VisualTimmy 17 күн бұрын

What you can do is use this to get a rough outline, then take a hard round brush and try to get the smoothest possible line!

@chucktastic2359 8 күн бұрын

@@VisualTimmy that’s the whole point, that shouldn’t be necessary. i need it to be a finished outline, not a garbage outline that still needs hours of tweaking. Procreate failed with this and needs to improve it.

@dalistarkle 11 ай бұрын

hi Timmy- great video and thanks! I have a problem thats naggin me about brushes. I use monoline, round brush and hard brush, but they put down LESS ink where the line starts and then it gets darker. I want the whole line to be the same opacity!

@VisualTimmy 11 ай бұрын

Ok, the issue here is either in 2 places. 1. Its the taper feature. You can turn that off completely and then check. 2. It could be in the pressure settings in Apple Pencil section of the brush library. Turn off opacity settings there. That should work!
