Truck Template

Terrific.  And are those lines the exact width you'd like them to be?

[Falon]

Yeah i think they are a good size

[Damien Symonds]

Terrific.  And what is that width?  What size was your brush?

[Falon]

size 6 

[Damien Symonds]

Great.

Ok, I hope I can explain this next step well enough ...

Press U to get the Shape Tool, then click and hold on it to get the Line Tool.  In the Options Bar you'll see where you can choose "Weight".  Enter 6px there.

Also in the Options bar (I can't give you a screenshot, because my version is different) you need to choose the option that says "Subtract from shape area".  On mine I can hit the shortcut key - (dash/minus), maybe yours will do that too.

At this point I suggest lowering the opacity of your green line layer so it's visible but fairly faint.

Then return to your shape layer.  Make sure you have the mask selected (a border around it in the layers panel).

Then draw a line with your line tool following one of your green lines. Make sure you start and finish it OUTSIDE  the truck shape.

If it works properly, it will subtract that line from your black truck shape.

If so, great!  Repeat for the other lines.

Please help me understand why you keep posting these screenshots with marching ants?

[Falon]

i just seen that and redid it same time you posted lol 

[Damien Symonds]

No, I mean why were there marching ants at all?

[Falon]

Because  when I take a screenshot I accidentally do control option 4 instead of control shift 4 

[Damien Symonds]

Ah, right.  #neverhappenswithwindows

[Damien Symonds]

What?  What are you doing????  You don't need that part, you've already made your shape!!!!!!

Just place the first image.

Start here:

[Falon]

oh hahaha ok I was so confused. Now feeling stupid

[Damien Symonds]

Show me when finished.

[Falon]

Hows this? Can you help me put it onto a bigger white background. Will this be able to be printed?

For some reason it doesn't look very clear? Have i done something wrong

[Damien Symonds]

The size is the next thing to talk about.  What are the pixel dimensions of this file at the moment?

[Falon]

[Damien Symonds]

Thanks.

Since you've made everything with vectors and smart objects, you can easily resize.  Maybe make it 4000px wide, and check that it looks ok?

[Falon]

Sorry Damien how would I do that? 

[Damien Symonds]

Just with the Image Size dialog.  Make sure the "Resample Image" box is checked.

[Falon]

is this correct
