GIMP :: Cannot Fill A Path

Jan 13, 2014

I've created a complicated polygon (hundreds of nodes) with the Paths Tool and am trying to fill it. When I select the Bucket Fill Tool, I get a tiny little error message at the bottom that reads: "Cannot modify the pixels of layer groups". Now then, I do have a Layer Group in the Layers tab to collect text items, but this is a Path in the Paths tab (which I thought was separate).

I have tried switching the path from Stroke to Selection, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

In the past, I've used Fireworks (mainly), Photoshop, and Illustrator with varying degrees of success.

GIMP :: Fill Selected Background Area With Flame Fill Pattern

Dec 17, 2012

see xcf attachment...

I used a heart fill pattern of the right 75% of the picture and the left 75% of the picture is selected overlapping the first fill in the background... I want to fill the selected background area with a flame fill pattern where it overlaps the selected portion of the heart pattern as well as the transparent area... 'overlay' looks better but Gimp is FAILING to fill the transparent areas, it ONLY fills the overlapped heart pattern portion of the selected content!!! I even tried filling the transparent area with 'white' then filling the selected area, but it STILL ONLY wants to overlay fill the heart pattern, it STILL leaves the rest alone!!! it doesn't matter if the background is white or transparent, it leaves that alone and ONLY fills the heart pattern area of selected portion of the image!!!

GIMP :: Text Along Path Function Hovers Too Far Above Path?

Mar 7, 2013

Why the "Text along path" feature hovers the text so far above the currently active path? (in my case, the space between the path and the text is about 3 times the height of the currently used font!). I've been told that the letters should lie on top of or at least closer to the path instead. How can I move the text closer to the path?

Photoshop :: Pen Tool Can Only Fill In One Path At A Time

May 14, 2013

I've recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5.1 and I've encountered that the pen tool will only let me fill in one path at a time. Older versions of Photoshop would fill in all the paths at the same time so I don't see why the pen tool would be capable of doing that in a newer version.

Photoshop :: How To Fill Path Created Around Text

Jan 27, 2013

I am using old Photoshop 7 because honestly, it has always filled every minor need of mine.  Normally, I'm not doing much more than creating simple display placards, but this new project has me stumped.  I am creating a simple layout for a device that will be silkscreened.  The screen will be exposed using what I am creating in PS7, printed on a transparency.
 
The problem I am running into is with the text dithering.  I found a tutorial that explained selecting the layer, then using Layer>Type>Create Work Path to generate a path around all of the text on the layer.  I am now attempting to fill this path with solid black.  When I select the path in the palette, the dot to fill the path is grayed out.  I found an app note that stated when text is active, this is not an option.  I tried disabling the text layer, but it didn't work.

Illustrator :: CS6 Path Not Aligned To Stoke Or Fill

Jan 9, 2013

I've been having a problem in illustrator for the last couple of days that I haven't had before. It doesn't just happen with this graphic, it has happened with other objects, even happened with a circle yesterday. It doesn't happen to all objects on the artboard though, just particular ones.
 
I've drawn these shapes with the pen tool, but the stoke and fill aren't aligned aligned with the path that I've drawn. It's causing issues when I resize (see image below) and also when I align. It aligns the path correctly but because that image doesn't match the path it looks wrong.

Illustrator :: 3D Extrude Of A Path Has Weird Fill

Nov 9, 2012

I'm looking to do a simple 3D ribbon with text mapped onto it.
 
Using the pen tool I made a line with slight curves to it, then 3D > Extrude/Bevel.
 
The end result added 'volume' to my ribbon. See here:[URL]....
 
The parts with Green X's on them are what i'd like to get rid of, so that it's basically a wide ribbon with minimal 'thickness'.
 
I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7.

Illustrator :: CS6 - Fill And Path Outline Are Offset

Illustrator :: Use Pen Tool To Make A Path With A Fill

May 29, 2012

When I use the pen tool to make a path with a fill, the fill updates immediately and correctly, but the path highlight (which usually displays as long as I'm working on a given path) only shows up when I hover my cursor above the path itself. Also, and this is a lesser issue, Illustrator's splash screen displays "Tryout." It came with CS6 MC, and none of the other apps are in trial mode.

Illustrator :: Filled Path When There's No Fill Applied?

Jan 17, 2013

I have this path that I got from Shutterstock. No matter what I do with it, it's got this green fill on it. So if I apply a grey fill to it, the grey fill is put on top of the green. If I remove the fill completely, the green fill is still there.
  
Maybe the person who made it applied some kind of magical unremovable fill color to it or someting?
 
I've ungrouped it, checked that there's no effects in the appearance panel, and of course checked that there's no outline on the path. I've also tried releasing compund paths. There's no opacity mask or transparency modes. Nothing worked.

Illustrator :: Cannot Fill Path Correctly After Using Image Trace

Dec 14, 2013

When I pull a regular 2-color photo from the web and use the tracing option, selecting ignore white, then expanding it into a path, it will not fill correctly.  Instead of filling the object created, it fills the entire photo area of the original image.  URL....

In the video, you'll notice that the fill option after expanding is marked with a "?".The goal here is to, after expanding, fill ONLY the image of the cursor.

Illustrator Scripting :: CS5 - Change Fill Color Of Selected Path Items

Apr 2, 2013

I'm trying to create a script in CS5 mac os10.6.8 that will change the fill color of selected pathItems. I need a simple script that will change a selected pathItem to cmyk values 2,3,15,0. I will then select this script and implement the action in a batch of 600 files.
 
I wish this process could be recorded as an action but when I record the action "add new swatch" I have to manually input the cmyk values, which will take forever for a batch of over 600 files.

GIMP :: Text Along Path Not Placing Text At Beginning Of Path

May 17, 2012

I'm trying to place text to a "curvy" path. I took some screen shots to show you want I'm talking about.

I created a simple curvy path 1 point on each end. (I noticed I drew in a node in the middle of the curve as well. But that actually doesn't exist in the path. I created the text a reasonable size and clicked "Text Along Path". As you can see, it never starts at the beginning of the path. Ever. I have sized the font up, and it gets a little closer to the beginning, but obviously the end of the address flies off the path. I've sized down the text and it will start even further to the middle of the path.

GIMP :: Text Along Path And Aligning Center Of Text With Path?

May 23, 2013

I have no problem getting my text along a path but I am having trouble getting the text and the path to align so that the center of the text element is centered on the path.

Is this possible or do I have to figure out someway to make my path of a certain length so it ends up that the text fits to it perfectly??

Here is a screenshot of my current problem. You can see that the text and the image below it are centered. I then placed some guide lines to make sure my path was also centered. When I placed that text along the path though, it left justified the text when I want it to be centered instead..

GIMP :: How To Get A Path On A Path

Sep 6, 2011

I'm working on a graphic in which I wish to have some text around a circle. I know, I know, use "Text to Path" ... except that will not work in this case because the text I want to have go around the circle is not from a font, but drawn by me (my other other project; find a program for creating font files that I can afford to make a proper font so "Text to Path" would work).

So, I have a selection (and a path from that selection) that is basically the outline of the text I want to manipulate. I have another selection for the circle the text is supposed to go around. What is the (probably obvious) thing that I'm missing to get the text selection path to be drawn on the circle?
