Mar 9, 2013I'm using GIMP 2.8.2 and I have problem with the Selection to Path tool. I've been using this tutorial [URL] to create a pie chart, but once I use the ellipse selection tool and create a circle I can't select to path (the option is greyed out).
View 4 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: Path To Selection Always Clockwise?
Nov 19, 2012I have an image, and I want to add some text along a curved path beneath it. Imagine the motto beneath a coat of arms, or a product or company name beneath a logo.
Now, I tried using the text tool to add the text along a path, and I think that I now understand how that works.
Now it turns out that there is a feature missing that I would like to see, which is that text justification should make the text conform to the ends or centre of the path... by this, I mean that if I draw a path and the text is too short to fill the whole of the path, I should be able to centre the text along the path.
The way around this that came to mind is that if the path is a circle then I can place my text starting anywhere, and then rotate that layer to centre the text beneath the image.
So I make a circle selection, and convert the selection to a path... but the path seems to start at the top of the circle (I don't now what you want to call it: 0°, 12 o'clock, top dead centre, North?) and go clockwise... meaning that if I rotate my text to be below the image it will be upside down.
My work-round is to create a temporary layer and draw a circle on it, then use that as a guide to create a path along part of the circle in an anti-clockwise direction.
But I thought that there might be a mechanism for easily swapping the start and end positions of a path,another, better way if placing text below an image,a way of centring text along a path.

Illustrator :: Convert Text Path Back Into Line Path In CS 5?
Jan 9, 2013I've tried every permutation of copy and paste; I renamed the path to path. It looks like a path when I add stroke, but it does not behave like one. I can't cut it or join it to any other path. It remembers it's text path status. I'm running OS X 10.7.5.

Mar 20, 2014I accidentally converted a path to a text path. I searched the forum for how to convert it back to a regular path. The answer I found said to select the path and hit Command+C+F. This gives me another text path! I now have at least 6 copies of the path in my files but they are ALL text paths and none are visible with a stroke.

Jun 23, 2012I'm trying about 8 hours to convert a Photoshop shape in to a working path in order to put a brush border around it. I don't understand why the "stroke path with brush" is grayed out and not usable directly on the shape path itself.

"Load path from selection" is not an option because it deforms my path.

GIMP :: Text Along Path Function Hovers Too Far Above Path?
Mar 7, 2013Why 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: Selection Handles On Non-freshly Created Selection
Mar 1, 2013Right after one makes a selection, say by using the Rectangle SelectTool, is presented with handles that allow altering the selection.
If one then selects another tool without deselecting is being deprivedof these handles while the selection remains active thus rendering himunable to alter the selection in that fashion.
Thus forming my question: is there a way to make these handles to(re-)appear on a non-freshly created selection?

Jun 21, 2013It seems that the method of control-clicking on a path in the paths panel no longer makes the path into selection you have to use the load path as a selection button in the panel to achieve this. Is this a problem on my system or is it a general change?

View 3 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Load Path As Selection
Apr 19, 2009I completed my path and clicked Load Path as a Selection. I have 2 cut out areas (holes) in the path, and the selection process did not include the holes, even though the path shows them. I had the button pressed "exclude overlapping path areas" when I made the path. How do I get the path to select the outline, minus the "holes"? Kind of like a coffee cup profile with the hole in the handle excluded to show just the outline of the cup.

Jul 25, 2012I know in photoshop you can make shapes with the pen tool and then covert them into a selection path.I was wondering if there is such similar feature in Illustrator
Â
For example with the picture I posted here, what I want to do is be able to select the objects that are in contact with the black object on top without having to individually select them or use the "lasso" tool
Â
It would make things easier with a "Select all objects under or above" option, theres only the "Select next object under or above"
3ds Max :: How To Convert Selection Unwrap UVW
Dec 6, 2013I created a planar projection and then I couldn't move the selection in the Open UV Editor. I found that you can't move them if the vertecies are moved in the W direction, so to flatten them. It sounded odd, but I thought I'd look into it.Â
Â
So naturally I ctrl+click on Vertex to convert my selection. Both are selected now?Â
Â
I went back and forth a couple times, and I still can't move my selection. It only scales, and it's pinned in the top right corner.
Â
I exited that and went down to the base, editbale poly vertex, made a selection, and converted it to faces. Worked like I expected (and is also poorly documented in the help file because I knew it was there somewhere but couldn't find it).Â
I went back into the Unwrap UVW modifier and I can now move the same selection. So that's fixed, but I'm still wondering how to convert selections. I can't get it to work.

View 8 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Text Within Hollow Selection Path
Aug 13, 2011i just would like to write inside a hollow selection (or path).to make the issue unambiguous in order to eliminate useless answers, enclosed more details.
i make a square selection using the marquee tool, then i subtract from the selection a small square within the first selection (i.e., the small square does not intersect the edges of the bigger square). this gives me a square doughnut.from the selection i make a new path. using the text tool, i would like to write (have text) within the selected area (i.e. on the doughnut itself).
apparently, it is applicable to write within a long a path, or within a (not hollow) polygon.

Jun 13, 2006I cut with the pen tool. The path was not complicated and had many straight edges to follow, so I didn't have to click many points. After I completed and closed the path, I sel the icon, load path as selection and then the path became this bizarre zig zag, almost electric marching ants effect. Then I deselected and there were like hundreds of anchor points at every centimeter or so. The edges of the selected area however were normal and smooth.
