how I might take slices through an object so I could analyze the shape at any given point along its length or even output it to printer. What I am trying to do is take slices through a boat hull, rotate it so I am looking at it head on, then print them out so I can make frames from them. I'm trying to built a scale model of a turn of the century sailing oyster dredger.
I just read the thread the thread "...plus ask about erasers" but it doesn't answer my question about combining shapes to remove unwanted portions - or at least I didn't quite understand it. Here's my issue. I've created a nice "background" image with ripples and live effects, but it has gaps, and isn'tthe right shape. I need to erase parts of it and clip it to the right shape, but every time I try to do this using the slice tool, it puts the gaps back into the image! Attached is my image and the shape I want to clip it to.
I just tried converting the ripple shape to a bitmap copy and then slicing the shape - that doesn't get me the rippled effect I want - just the shape I already have. Then, I tried just creating the water ripples in my shape - but again that leaves gaps and when I try to "slice" them away it does all kinds of weird things to the shape..
How to do this so it doesn't ask for a block definition!
I have an extruded region of 50 x 50 (SHS) that I want to put a 45 degree mitre on, so I orientate my UCS to ortho, I have a reference line drawn over the job for my 45 degree/3 points to pick...
I Select 'both' to keep and it asks me for a block definition?
We design a lot of Waste storage facilities, mainly above ground level. I need to generate stage storage volumes at one metre intervals. Is there a way to automate this?
I want to engrave the text 'TEST' all the way around this clonal object. When I use the emboss tool, selecting the option 'wrap to face,' it gives me an error message that the "face selected is not tangent to the profile plane."
I am using a work plane that is offset from the XY plane. I included a screen shot and the file that I am using (Inv. 2014)
i am trying to draw an aircraft and after drawing the windows, i got stuck. i am trying to revolve a shape around the shape of the window (oval) but it won't recognise that shape as an axis. i can't click it. is there a solution to this?
I know the basics of Photoshop so you can say I'm not a newbie but I find myself using it in ways I never have before. I'm in CS3 and I have to be able to slice up .psds for the web, I know about user slices, smart guides, naming slices, optimizing and saving for the web but the one thing I cannot figure out is the very beginning steps in doing this. For instance, let's say someone sends me an image of a webpage that is in any other format but a .psd. Reason I bring this up is tutorials always start with layered documents already in a .psd format and I need to know how to save the slices I make as layers from scratch. Now I'm looking at a (example) .tiff image of a doc I need to slice up so first thing I would do is to save as a .psd correct? or not? NOW here's where I'm missing information as I have tried to save the main image as a .psd file and when I go slice layers out of it and name the layers they do not show up in the palette, they are saved as part of the background.
i have made something in photoshop. i need to slice it, unaware of how to slice thigns in photoshop i did it in macromedia fireworks, the only problem is i used a photo in my design and its got sky in it the sky now has a few different blue shades rather than one smooth picture. fireworks saved them as gifs which is wat i would expect but not the quality has gone down quite alot with the photo!
how exactly do you slice and save the images for a webpage. I already made my template. A not so good one, but now that im done making it, how do i go about slicing it?
I have just made a header for a site with links and everything already on it. Now, what would be the easiest way to save the image in order to make those links? Do I slice up the header and save all the links seperately so that I just add HTML to them, do I take it to Image ready? What?
I am looking to slice a website up in Photoshop, I have created my design in photoshop for 800 x 600. I think this size is wrong as i haven't allowed for the scroll bar in the browser...
I notice i can use the slice tool, or slice from layers etc.
What about place holders i have left for "pure" text which of course i will enter in my html editor? But i should imagine i want it to export with the text place holder in the html file otherwise the html with the graphics are not going to line up?
Also i have created a box with rounded corners, i presume i should only be exporting the four corners and using some trickery to lower file size..
I want to select just two parts of this image to make clickable - in this case it would be the black part of the 'S' (the top part), and the white part of the 'S' (the bottom part).
Photoshop Image Ready only seems to let me create rectangular or square shaped slices - I have seen this done on other websites where differently proportioned shapes and slices have been created?
I have a psd file and there are a bunch of caption bubbles all on their own layer. How can I easily slice each bubble to their own new .png image file? All the bubbles are spaced nicely and they don't overlap.
Is there a way to auto slice an image in image ready when I have made the grid, so they save all the ares into different files instead that I have to save everyone indivitualy?
creating the slices (attaches is the design in photoshop). In particular I'd need some clues on correctly creating the rounded rectangle around the main content. (I'd like to use a fixed layout).
I've seen that there's a technique to define the four corners and repeat the main element so that the rectangle can be adapted to the dimension of the content.
how do you slice a circular object so that it can become a frame and that I can place a object inside it, I used the selection tool in image ready and created a slice from the selection but it slices a square that includes the circle.
I have created an image in Photoshop that I want to use as my website front end, but I have a few questions:
1. How do I go about putting the hyperlinks into my navigation menu?
2. I want to use the blank space I have left as a frame, what would be the best way to do this? I was thinking of creating the layout of frames in dreamweaver then slicing and inserting the slices into the individual frames? then filling the centre frame the same colour as the front end so it belnds in.
I am not sure if slicing is the correct word. Basically, I have a rectangular image and I would like to slice of the edges diagonally and turn the rectangular image into a parallelogram. Then I would like to put some stripes (possibly use the line tool) on the image.
slicing in photoshop? i've created a layout already i dont understand the slicing process. i looked at a few tutorials on it, still dont get the point and how it applies to dreamweaver...
also, can slicing be free-form (like slicing perfectly around a circular object)?
I created a simple site layout with navigation tabs on either side of the primary content area. Something along the lines of this:
Logo|||||||||||||||||
|nav| (content) |nav|
|nav| (content) |nav|
|nav| (content) |nav|
|nav| (content) |nav|
The site wasn't as hard to create as I first anticipated, however I ran into a problem.
The layout looks great as long as content in the primary table cell (inbetween my two nav bars, and below the site banner) remains within the guidelines of the layout.
If content is longer than the layout the entire table is stretched vertically so that there are gaps between each navigation button.
i have selected SAVE FOR WEB AND DEVICES and have then selected the slice tool. i click and drag to draw a slice but it does not create a slice. as i am clicking and dragging i see the marching ants showing the area i have selected. when i let the mouse button go it just dissappears and no slice.i am using ps cs4
So i have made a mockup of a forum skin i want to code in photoshop and later on im most likley going to slice it and code it in dreamweaver. I just wanted to know if you need to slice text or do you just slice the background that it goes on and write the text in the code itself.
