I'm modeling a car and all at once I am not able to duplicate edges any more. I can't understand why. The one in the picture is one of the edges i can't duplicate. For now I can't duplicate any of them.
View 1 RepliesI thought this was going to be a piece of cake in the new Illustrator CC but I am having a few unanticipated issues:)I need to create some vector tire images with different edges, such as the top one in the image below.So I thought this would be SO easy by simply creating a pattern brush in Illustrator and then using that for the outside. So I created the shape you see in the middle image below and created a pattern brush with this shape.I then created an ellipse and used the new brush for the outline.
All of those are open paths...it has taken the shape and applied it to the outline but has kept each shape separate, so I am not able to fill the circle in black. I could of course go in and manually join each little corner separately where the little shapes meet but this will take FOREVER with all the images I have to do.
I tried the following in Illustrator,
So basically, I created coloured text inside Adobe Illustrator and however much I zoom into the text, the text always appears to have smooth edges. Once I click on 'Save For Web', the edge all around the text becomes rough and aliased. I chose GIF and PNG, but it still happens. The text is on a transparency background. The same problem applies to images when I am creating a logo.
I'm trying to snap a head with it's neck with the merge edge tool, but somewhere along the way, the edges lost there border edge characteristics and now I can't merge the edges. Is there a way to make the edges back to the way they were?

What happened with duplicate layer in Photoshop CC? In Photoshop CS6 was:
- if select a number of any raster or shape layers and press Cmd-J - those layers are copied and placed on top on layer palette. In history added "Duplicate Layer". It's perfect.
In Photoshop CC is:
- if select a number of any raster layers and press Cmd-J - those layers are copied and placed on top on layer palette. In history added "Duplicate Layer". It's perfect. BUT!
- if select a number of any shape layers and press Cmd-J - those layers are COMBINED INTO ONE and placed on top on layer palette as ONE layer. In history added "Shape Layer via Copy". It's bad.
I don't want to get one combined shape layer. I still want to get that number of shape layer copies. Why it combines? Is there any settings to turn this combine off?
I have 2 opened files in photoshop, and I duplicated a layer in file 2 to the file 1. When I click on the file 1, I can see in the layers box the layer that i had duplicated, but I can't see the image on the screen.

I am trying to locate duplicate polylines within a drawing of about 9000 polylines. I do not want to delete them, nearly locate them to compare on an in house program. I know there are 16 duplicate locations, but the drawing clean-up command only locates 2 of the 16.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a picture all set in Photoshop. It is a 3x4 photo. I want to duplicate it 6 times so I can print it out on one sheet of paper and then cut the 6 same pictures from that. I try to duplicate it and it just keeps opening up a new window within photoshop.
How can I get the 6 photos all on one sheet and lay them out - 3 across and 3 on the bottom? I do not necessarily want them right next to each other and want a little space between them if that is at all possible.

I have created a 12" X 36" photograph that I want to print. To print it I will have to pay for a 24" X 36" print so I want to duplicate or tile the same picture (one on top of the other) so that I get two prints for the price of one. I can't figure out how to do this in photoshop.

I have just recently started seeing something strange in my lightroom 5 library. There are two copies of some of my CR2 files. One copy is the original import, such as flower.cr2. This file has none of my edits, just the import. The second copy is called flower-2.cr2. This file has import and all of my edits.
When I originally edited the flower file, there was only the original. Most of my photos are as they should be, with just one CR2 file that includes the import and all of my edits.what could be going on with my library/catalog?
select multiple channels and duplicate them all at once like you can with layers? As of now I'm having to select each channel and duplicate one by one. Once I select more than one the duplicate option becomes grayed out.
View 4 Replies View Related When I duplicate a layer, sometimes the layer will automatically duplicate as a copy within the same document, and sometimes it will open the dialog box that allows duplicating to another document.
It seems to happen randomly, on both iMacs I use, as far back as I can remember (using CS4 now).
Everytime I try to duplicate groups in photoshop cs6 to another open PSD file it usually works, but lately whenever I try to do it it only gives my the option to duplicate the groups to either a brand new file (an untitled file) or to the original file (that i'm duplicating the groups from). It won't allow me to duplicate them to another open PSD file.
For example, (in case i'm not being clear), say I have 2 files open such as A.psd and B.psd but i want to duplicate a bunch of groups i created in A.psd to B.psd. When i click on the groups i want to duplicate and the option box opens- in the destination box it only gives me the option of duplicating the groups to either A.psd (which is useless) or to a new file. It doesn't give the option to duplicate the groups to B.psd. It only gives the option if it's just a layer. I either have to merge groups into one layer or make them into a smart object and use the duplicate layer option instead. It's become a annoying problem because I want my groups to just duplicate. I shouldn't have to merge them in order to send them into another file. It has always worked until now.
Im trying to duplicate this photo with another and i cant seem to figure out how to duplicate the pink/purlpe dot effect that shows most through out the face portion of the photo.
I have tried most things but kinda closest was HARD MIX layer mode on a desatureted copy of the portrait photo with the bakground "pitched horizontal lines" bleeding through. But it didnt come close anyway..
PS:Cs6So, I have done this ...
1. Radial Gradient on the BG layer > Duplicated the layer then Transformed it down for a "Floor" effect
2. Added a Mask then painted to fade the duplicated layer into the BG layer
3. Opened the Paths panel > Clicked the New Path icon > Pen tool (set to shape as I assumed it should be because I tried it set to Path and down the line it didn't pan out) I drew the basic shape for my project (which is to be a camera)
4. Copied a Leather Texture from a different document and Pasted it on to the Same Layer (ie: I didn't create a NL)
5. Added an Adjustment layer > set the HSL's
6. Copied the basic (camera) path and placed it on top of the leather texture (layer)
7. Selected the Texture and the Adjustment layers > Ctrl+G > Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path
Below is where I am stuck
8. I am suppose to Duplicate the Path of the Camera ... but ... when I drag the Path down to the Create New Path Icon ... or attempt to Duplicate the Path by Any means and then perform the next step which is:
9. go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color ... either the color will fill just the shape of the camera or it fills the entire layerwhen the camera does fill with a color I cannot get the next step to work which is:
10. Add a Rectangle Shape and Modify its shape > set the Rectangle to Subtract ... Well, the Rectangle is NOT Subtracting
I know this because the leather is not showing through the color So, all in all I suppose I am asking how I should Best go about DUPLICATING a PATH ... ??? I mean, do I ... need to copy the path into an other component? An other layer? Should I be using NL where I am not using NL's?
I have been reading the manual but I am also still trying tuts because I learn better when I do things as well as read. So, here's todays dilemma
I made the Shape with no problem and used the Pen tool set to shape. The only way I have been able to find to Duplicate a Shape (and/or Path) in the user manual is to select the Path Selection tool (the black arrow) from the tools panel and use Alt + Drag
however, (as you can see) I need the Shape to stay in the same place - so, I tried to drag it back into place - but the Duplicate moves with the original Shape and when I go to change the color - the color changes both shapes ... ? Also, how do I know if I have Duplicated the Path or the Shape?
Because once (we) I figure out how to Duplicate the Shape & change the color of just the duplicate I then need to Duplicate Just the Path. The tut says to set the Duplicated Path Mode to Subtract but it doesn't make sense to me - it would seem that the Mode should be set to Subtract beforehand.
I'm using CS5, not that it really matter much for this question. I've used the same watermark for probably 5 or 6 years now. All I remember about creating it was that I did it while either reading or watching a tutorial on the subject. The reason that I love it is because is shows up very well no matter whether it is over a light image or a dark image. I have long since lost the tutorial and have spent the last day and a half looking at other tutorials with no luck. None of the ones that I tried work on both light and dark images.
Unfortunately, although I've been editing images for years, I do VERY little text and or font and or font effects work. That's why I'm a total loss about this thing. I will be attaching a jpg of my watermark duplicated with one placed on a white background and the other on a black background. Take note that this is the exact same watermark on both backgrounds. It isn't one that is special for dark and one that is special for light.
Steps that I need to make in order to duplicate this effect so that it looks exactly like this on both white and black surfaces? The font is "IMPACT".
I've brought this up before and didn't get an answer but now that my project is hundreds of layers big and using 12 layer comps, this is becoming increasingly annoying and affecting my project flow:
When will the issue be resolved where when you duplicate a shape layer that has previously had specific anchor points selected (but that none are currently selected since the entire layer is selected in the layers pallete and I am using the move tool, not direct select tool), it duplicates only the previously selected points.
It's a huge waste of precious time to have to:duplicate a layer. realize that only a portion of the layer got duplicated.delete that new layer select the original layer choose the direct select tool click on shape to show the anchor pointshit escape so all points are deselected then try again
I've been working with Mac CS5 since it came out. And Mac Photo Shop in general since the early 90's. That said. This just started today right in the middle of a project:
Normally I hold down my Option Key and drag a layer down to the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers pane. Now I get a dialog popping up asking me if to give the duplicate a name (if it's multiple layers), or to ask if the default name is OK.
This wasn't happening earlier in the day. Why has this all of a sudden started happening? How can I turn the pop-up off? I've tried resetting the prefs with Cmd-Opt-Shift on reopening PS5.
Yes, I know I can do this with Cmd-J, but I've doing the Opt-Drag methods for many years, and that's now how I'm used to working. Running i Mac with 8 GB RAM, OSX 10.8.2. RAM usage set to 70% default. Photo Shop CS5 10.0.4 x32.
When using floating windows for images it is very straightforward to copy content from one image to the other.With docked windows in cs6 there's of course the duplicate layer-feature but there's certainly also a drag and drop method. But how to get this to work? I tried dragging Layers and Ctrl-tabbed, I dragged the Layers onto the tab of another image and tried so by holding all sorts of modifier-key.combinations.No avail. So what was the correct way to copy from one image to another by using Drag and Drop?
