Any way I can distort a path in Illustrator like in PS. You know I must accept the changes I made. In Photoshop, I allowed to move this 4 points before I press the check button. But in Illy only 1 point can move and it will automatically accepted it.
View 9 RepliesLet me first say that I love using clipping path jpegs made in Photoshop. They can be used in InDesign of course, batched and converted to other formats which need transparency, and so on... The one irritating part is that there's no easy way to distort or scale the clipping path and image together after the file has been created, or at least not that I'm aware of.
For example, I'm working on a piece of furniture which already contains a clipping path, but the client wants the image straightened (or, the perspective from the camera removed, which I don't like actually). So, is there an easier/faster way to do this instead of having to first distort the image, then manually try to line up the clipping path, or worse, remake the clipping path?
I am having a problem when exportng a file as a pdf. A jpg image that I am using distorts. This is a high res file and I have tried exporting with both the 'high quality print' and 'press quality' presets.
I have tried printing directly from illustrator and the image looks great, when I print from the pdf the image looks disorted.
I have attached an image to show what I mean, the image on the left is from the pdf.
This is what happens when I resize from large to small (in this case 600px to 60px).

I'm making variations of a logo and one of them is a single color reverse. The logo is basically the letters 'MCS' written on a block of color. When I try to use the Pathfinder's subtract feature to knock out the letters from the block I get some slight distortion on the letters.
I was running CS2 before and I did this many times but I never had any distortion.
Is there a setting I can change?
I made a long line with a complex stroke profile. I decided to remove a section, but it distorts the new ends with the excess profile. How can I delete a mid point on a line and keep the profile visually intact?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have some negative space I created(black area, see first image) that I want to fill with type, not just a simple fill.
Basically I want to create the negative space from a bunch of small minus signs(-) that need to line up as they go across. If I type on each path one at a time as the text doesn't line up that way. This needs to be one continuous path. (see second image)
Unfortunately if I add them together, it creates a compound path, which you cannot type on, unless I am mistaken? So I need them to be a path, not a compound object.
In illustrator, is there a way to reduce anchors points in a segment path without altering the path?
Is there a better and more efficient way to reduce anchors points than using the pen-minus tool?
I'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.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got two paths. They don't intersect, exactly, a straight path ends at a curved path, but I need the end of the straight path to be curved, to make it look like the two meet perfectly. The two gray paths (a single path, then path->offset for the second) are the outside of a shield shape. The two black lines (paths) just surround text, but currently they overlap the gray paths.

How do I do this without distorting the image?
how to distort some lines of text. I have a 3D-looking image. It's a box where the top surface appears to get smaller as it moves back. I am trying to draw a bounding box on the top surface, and then distort the bounding box so that my text will appear to have the proper perspective. However, I cannot access the distort command under "edit" after I've drawn the box or when there is type in the box. All I can is distort the type. But this won't allow me to properly match the perspective. I need to somehow distort the bounding box (independently control all four corners) and then have the type size accordingly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've found that photoshop is distorting the image when resizing. If you have an image and you duplicate the layer, then with the bottom layer set its size (by free transform) to 99% (width and height), then set the top layers opacity to 50%, the image should be evenly blurred but it's not. It is in focus in the middle and blurred around the edges.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a graphic which I need to distort to follow the shape of a pen. I have tried wrapping it but it begins to mess with the flow of the type. I have CS6 Extended and am trying to come up with a solution that works. I need the graphic itself shaped and on its own layer, not applied to a created cylinder. Attached is a simple example of what I am trying to do. I am very knowledgeable in Photoshop but Extended is new to me.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created text on a curved path using the pen tool and the the type on a path tool. However, there are portions of the text that I want to taper. For example, my text begins horizontally, continues to the right, and gradually curves downward. As the text curves downward I would like it to taper smoothly into a narrower and narrower text.
View 1 Replies View Relatedthe top image is printed from Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1 57" wide and 137" tall to an HP DesignJet Z6200PS 60" color inkjet plotter. The print preview shows that the image looks good and should come out correctly (as the lower image did when printed to a DesignJet Z6200PS as a .PDF file from Adobe Acrobat Reader).
Why is the image printing correctly as a .PDF from Acrobat Reader but not as a JPEG from Photoshop CS 5.1 (same source image)?
I opened an old file, probably from photoshop 7 or something, where I was using 'warp text' - just a simple 6 degree arc. Now, in CS4, I attempt to change the text written, or make any changes at all to the type, and the font becomes distorted. It doesn't matter what font, and it does it from scratch as well as editing existing warped text. Did my warp feature become corrupted somehow?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an effect of small text following the outline of very large bold block text (see picture). The idea I had was to first create the 'ME' in very large font as text. Then convert that text to an object / path using "Object -> Flatten Transparency... -> "Convert all text to outline"". Then, select that path and use the "Type along path" tool.
However, when I use that process, the resulting path is a compound path that therefore the Type Along Path tool doesn't work. Any pointers on how to achieve this? The image below I just used the pencil to trace the letters (quick and dirty) but the result is choppy, etc.
I have a figure as below:
You can see that the red circles intersect the blue one twice each. One of these intersects (the lower one) should be below the blue circle while the other should be above the blue circle. How can I make this happen? Can I use the shape builder tool somehow?
I've been attempting to combine various AVI clips into one large video using VS Pro X3 and I'm noticing that the beginning of each clip seems distorted. Actually, distorted is probably not the correct term for what I'm seeing. It looks like the main image is in the background and a smaller cropped version is superimposed in the middle of it. This issue only seems to be happening right at the beginning of each video clip. After about 5 - 10 seconds of the clip being played, the image corrects itself and it's fine.
Not sure I can post an screen capture of the problem here.
how do i email an image from LR4 without distorting it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen we were using X4 on Vista I had no problems with the graphic distorting. Since we moved our system over to Windows 7 we have had major problems, sometimes when we get art work the logo's will gradually distort to the point they are unrecongizable.
Even if we try and replace the logo with a new copy the same thing will happen. I have a legit copy of X4.
Most people are telling us its because the logo's we receive are corrupted but that doesnt seem to be the factor.
I have this huge dwg file. Every time I try to use the print to PDF option my image is completely distorted when it is converted to PDF. All of the detail in the image becomes big solid black lines. Is there a way that I can convert the dwg file into a pdf file without distorting the image.
