Photoshop :: CC / Selecting Single Paths Without Isolating?
Jul 17, 2013
If I have two vector shapes on top of one another, when I drag over both to select a few nodes from the top one, it selects both (this is now a 'feature'). I don't want this.
Â
I know if I want to select only the top one now that I have to isolate the shape first, but this is terribly inneficient for the way I've been editing vector shapes for years now.
Â
Is there any way to turn off multiple layer path selection and having to isolate anything? While the new feature can be nice at times, it's mostly more of a hinderence than a way out.

I have created this script for selecting open paths in illustrator cs6 as the graffix plugin is not working under CS6.
Â
Just save the following text in /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Presets/en_US/Scripts/Select Open Paths.js
Â
if (documents.length > 0 && activeDocument.pathItems.length > 0){
var allPaths = activeDocument.pathItems;
var allPathsCount = allPaths.length;
var openPathsAreLocked = false;Â Â

What is the correct technique for selecting paths with multiple strokes of the same colours?
Select Same doesn’t seem to work properly since it only selects one of the stroke colours.
Â
I have several paths with the same stroke colour makeup yet they don’t behave as if they have the same appearance, depending on which of a path’s several strokes is selected in the Appearance panel.

I auto traced a piece of artwork (a large bunch of leaves) & the strokes are made up of 2 paths.
Is there a quick way to reduce the paths to a single path
Â
Or is it necessary to delete each leaf's secondary path manually Â
Â
Is there something I should be doing differently when auto tracing.

I've got a Library setup called "Vendor CAD" and it's referenced in all my project templates and most existing project IPJ's. I'm thinking of re-organizing my server and actually creating a CAD drive and moving all these files to an area protected from the non-CAD users.
Anyway, once I move the files, is there a way that I can batch change the existing IPJ's to refer to the new path? There's about 70 or so files, so it's not monumental, but I'd really like to not do it manually if possible.
Also - please note, I'm a single user, so I'm not using vault at all.

I've been using Gimp since 2.6 and had previously used PS CS2That version had the option to select a single orw or column (from the 'Select' menu).I rarely had the need for this, but I'm now working on a project that could use that feature, and Gimp doesn't seem to have it . . . I tried selecting it with the available selection tools, but I'm not having any success with a large image.If it matters, I'm running 2.8.4 on a Win7-64bit installation.

Let's say you just have a simple black line in Gimp. You then use the color select tool to select it, and you plan on then converting that Selection into a single line Path.
From:
Into:
You select the line, but the Selection tool actually travels a loop around the line. So, when you turn that Selection into a Path, you do not have a single line, but you instead have a loop.
So my question is this: is there any mechanism for making your Selection in GIMP just a single line so that it can then be converted into a Path?
Originally, I was trying to achieve this in Inkscape (and started a thread about it in the Inkscape forum). However, it appears that, although other Vector Art programs can achieve this, Inkscape cannot. So I was thinking that I could instead use Paths in GIMP instead, but this is not possible because of the nature of Selections, as far as I can tell.
Here's an attempt to illustrate this request:

I have some negative space I created(black area, see first image) that I want to fill with type, not just a simple fill.
Â
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)
Â
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.

I have a picture of a trumpet. I was wondering how you could take the image and blur the background, leaving the trumpet in focus. The "flaring" or putting lighting effects on certain spots of the trumpet, like the valve tops and bottoms.

I have a photo (attached) and wish to do two things with it. I hope a) to emphasise both the earthenware texture of the vase and its wooden background to give the image some contrast and b), to recolour the brown fence in royal blue. I have tried to do this using the eyedropper tool and then Image | Adjustments | Replace colour, but because the vase itself is coloured in a shade of brown I find that in addition to blue replacing brown as the fence colour, it also replaces it as the colour of the vase.
Â
So, I somehow need to 'lift' the vase from the image, then recolour the fence in isolation, and then put the vase back into the photo - but I am not sure how to do that.

I have a plain 3d contour map with all the lines on the same layer.
I want to make it readable in 2d by changing the linetype of each so it's easier to read.
The map is pretty large, I was hoping there was some way I could isolate all lines with the same Z Vertex so I could do an entire elevation at once?

I am in the process of setting up Civil 3D styles for survey and trying to overcome some challenges that are a great source of frusteration. Â The key items I am trying to accomplish are as follows:
 Be able to isolate all points on a layer (sorted individually by descriptor key matching to V-NODE-XXXX) WITHOUT the use of point groups.  I see point groups as a very inefficient way to do this.  I want to be able to select Layiso, grab one point and have full display of all points on that node layer and start connecting the dots.Be able to control node layer display individually (ie. all topo points gray, found points green, control pink, etc)Setup a quick toggle to turn off display of all points and basic markers except those which have a symbol assigned to them and should be shown on the map.
I have everything working the way I want with the exception of being able to use layiso to display all points on a layer. Â Currently my point label styles are set to layer 0 byblock which passes display to the point object. Â I have created a layer called V-NODE-HIDE that I set as the layer for non-symbol markers and all point labels. Â Point markers that are symbols that should be displayed on a map are put on their associated V-TOPO-XXX-SYMB layer. Â When finished mapping I want to be able to type "PH" (Point Hide) and hide all point labels and basic markers by freezing V-NODE-HIDE. Â The issue is that because point objects, labels and markers are on different layers, when I isolate a single point, everything disappears.
Is there a lisp routine that will extract all layers from sub-components of a Civil 3D object and add those layers to the isolate? Â This would solve my issue and give me all of the functionality I am looking for. Â I have seen several discussions along this line on the forums, but not a solution that fits my needs. Â I am open for pretty much any suggestion other than I need to have a point group created for every single descriptor I have and have to move groups up and down the hierarchy to get the display I need. Â It is just too inefficient.

I want to join two paths to create a shape that I can fill but at the same time retain one of the original paths (the red one in the image below). I can copy the path I want to retain but surely there is a more elegant solution. See below for for an illustration:

I would like to know how to change the colour of a single layered, single coloured gradient (foreground to transparent) image. There is nothing more to it than that other than I don't want to use the hue/saturation adjustment as it's hard to get a specific colour.

I am having a problem with a delay in selecting an object and selecting a command.
When I select an object the pointer has at least a 3 second delay before it starts moving around normally again. It is the same with selecting a command. This has started to get tedious. It has worked fine in the past so I don't think it is a RAM/graphics card problem.

Having issue with isolating a layer (any layer other than one that contains a hidden line type), and then having the hidden layer appear behind it when attempting to initiate a command?
Attached is an example. The first image shows my drawing with object layer isolated. But as soon as I enter some type of editing command (move, rotate, etc), in this case copy, my hidden layer appears (see second image).
In my LAYISO settings, I have it set to lock and fade, but it does not lock unless I manually set my hidden layer to lock in the layer coAttachment 37450Attachment 37451mmand.

OK, today, or actually just this afternoon I've noticed it has become much harder to select items with the mouse.
Points, nodes, etc...anything where you'd typically hover the mouse over the item and it highlights for you to select it.
For example, lets say you want to project a point from another sketch, or select the center node of a line, etc.
Never really had an issue until this afternoon where now it seems I have to be right on top of the item and I cannot budge one bit or it won't select it. It is now taking me numerous attempts to select things like points (zooming in does not work, points scale accordingly).
Is there a setting somewhere? I can't seem to find such under Tools>Application Options and the like.

Since upgrading to Photoshop CS, if I try to make a selection from a complex path, only the outer perimeter of the path selects. Any interior "holes" are ignored. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just something new that I've missed. I've been working with photoshop paths for as long as they've existed, but this has me utterly baffled.

CS4- I see my beautiful path on the path layer, and as a newbie what I think I want to do is to use it on a shape layer. How do I do that? Do I have to save it as a custom shape first?

We are finding that paths are not following when saving a PSD as a PNG file. We have tried with and without compression, interlaced and not. This was not an issue on CS5, but seems to be on CS6.
How to fix it without reverting to workflow on CS5 or pulling over the paths from the PSD after creating the PNG by hand?

I started creating a path, but I somehow interrupt the process and now I don't know how to continue. Whenever I try create new point I create a new path, but I want to continue with making my original (unfinished) path.

I've recently started using Photoshop CS5. For some reason when I select a path and hit command T to transform it, it doesn't work. The transform ignores that I have the path selected and trys to transform whichever layer is active.
