  1. Chapter Lessons OVERVIEW • Use the Macromedia Flash drawing tools • Edit drawings • Work with objects • Work with text • Work with layers Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0

  2. Drawing in Flash MX INTRODUCTION • Flash creates and manipulates vector graphics • Vector format Vs Bitmap format • Bitmap graphics are based on pixels • Altering pixels can result in jagged edges Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0

  3. Vector Graphics INTRODUCTION • Native to Flash • Represent an image using lines and curves • Can resize without losing image quality • Generally smaller than bitmap images – Good for Web sites • Not as effective at bitmaps for photo-realistic images Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0

  4. Modifying vectors INTRODUCTION • Vector objects have a stroke, fill, or both • Strokes can be segmented into smaller lines • You can modify the size, shape, rotation, and color of each stroke, fill and segment Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0

  5. The Drawing Tools LESSON 1 • SELECTION - Used to select an object or parts of an object such as the stroke or fill, and to reshape objects • SUBSELECTION-Used to select, drag, and reshape an object • Anchor Points • LINE-Used to draw straight lines • LASSO- Used to select objects or parts of objects Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0

  6. The Drawing Tools LESSON 1 • PEN- Used to draw lines and curves by creating a series of dots • TEXT-To create and edit text • OVAL-To draw oval and circular shapes • RECTANGLE- To draw rectangular and square shapes • PENCIL-Used to draw freehand lines • BRUSH- Used to paint with brush-like strokes Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0

Working with objects LESSON 3 • Objects can be copied and pasted • Objects can be transformed with the Free Transform Tool • Select the object, then the tool to display the eight rectangular handles and center circular transformation point. • Rotate and Skew, Scale, Distort, Envelope Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0

  17. Free Transform Tool LESSON 3 Rotate an Object around its Transform-ation point Scale with Corner handles Drag middle handle to skew an object Drag corner handle to Rotate an object Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0

  18. Reshaping a segment of an Object LESSON 3 • The Selection tool can be used to reshape the edge of an object • The pointer is context-sensitive • The Arc pointer drags out curved shapes • The L shaped pointer drags out corners of the object Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0

  19. Distorting with the Arrow and sub-selection tools LESSON 3 Using the Selection tool’s Arc Pointer to reshape an object Using the Subselection Tool to drag a handle and reshape an object Getting Started with PhotoShop 7.0
