Photoshop :: CS5 / Imported Custom Shape Sets Have Disappeared?
Sep 11, 2013
I recently downloaded several custom shape sets from DeviantArt. I was using them all fine for about a week, however today when I started up Photoshop (I'm using CS5) the shape sets I imported had disappeared from the list. All default shape sets are still there, and in the custom shapes source folder all are there including my downloads.
I have tried taking the files out and putting them back in the folder, opening and closing photoshop and restarting my machine, but they won't reappear. The only thing that happened yesterday was that Adobe made an apparently unsuccessful attempt to update Flash.how I can get the shapes to reappear?

I have a small problem with my version of photoshop and wondered if any one else has come across this before:
Whenever I create a custom shape or use the custom shape tool the outline will appear but it won't create the shape no layer nothing just an outline that can't be edited only deleted!

I am using Lightroom 3.5. I imported todays shoot into Lightrooms catalogue. They were converted from raw to dng. But only when the import was finished did I notice that all my collections and photos were missing. Before I went to my most recent backup I went to my catalogue and double clicked Karls catalogue.lrcat. This restored all my collections and photos, except for todays import.
When I open Lightroom I always hold down Alt so that it opens my catalogue rather than creating a new catalogue, but I must have not pressed Alt hard enough or something because I suspect Lightroom did in fact create another catalogue. I did a search for .lrcat in windows explorer and found my catalogue and 3 backups on my external drive, however I also found Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat in C;/Users/Karl/Pictures on my laptop.
How can I retrieve todays import and put it onto my catalogue?

I want to make a vector shape from a path. Is there a way to bypass having to define a new custom shape? I just want to quickly add the vector shape to a new layer, but I don't need it defined as it'll just be used once.

I have some brushes that I'd used in Photoshop CS4 (still have Photoshop cs4 on my system) I'd purchased the CS6 Master Suite - and don't have those brushes in PS6.
I navigated to my Photoshop CS4 installation into Presets>Brushes thinking to Copy and Paste them into my PS6 installation, and don't see them there. Have looked both in 64 bit and 32 bit program area (I'm running Windows 7 64 bit system), and can't find all those brush presets anywhere.
Have tried searching for .abr files from the start menu but that's not pulling anything up (not even the ones installed with CS6 so not sure how to use that search properly or if it can't search by document type).

I have never figured out a way to save my customized Modifier Sets. Whenever I have to reinstall Max or we get a new release I lose a lot of customization. I'd like to be able to save every singe interface tweak to make to carry forward to new releases.

I spent quite a bit of time a while back creating a custom tab panel, which displayed a collection of Lisp macros and other commands. It was set up to roll up out of sight when not needed, to give me back on-screen real estate. It has now vanished for no apparent reason. I am the only person using this machine, so I don't think it's related to any issue with changing profiles.
When I take a look inside the CUI interface I see that this tab and panel are configured with a "yes", indicating that they should be shown as part of my workspace. I've unlocked the on-screen CUI display before going to the CUI dialogue. I've also manually turned off the display of this tab and panel, then turned them on and hit "apply", before exiting the dialogue, all of this to no avail.

I have adobe CS5 and when I opened my software today, I discovered my swatches were gone from my tool bar. They are not entirely gone because I can get to them from my swatch libraries, however, I cannot drag and drop these swatches into my toolbar in order to click on them. I am trying to use the pen tool to draw a simple shape and the only swatches that come up is the none option (the white box with the red line going through it) and the registration, which I admitadly don't know much about.
I am using a Mac. I cannot figure out how to draw my shapes without a fill and using a black outline.

I have a Shape Layer in Photoshop. When the .PSD is imported as a comp, AE CS6 is layering the masks incorrectly. It requires the user to manually re-order the masks to display correctly.
is there any way to interpret PS shape layers as pixels or Illustrator vectors instead of masks? [without rasterizing in PS, of course] When AE turns them into masks, AE obviously won't update the masks if I make changes to the shape in Photoshop.)

This is probably an AE 101 question.
I have a shape that was made in Illustrator. See right. It's the thought-ballon-y-looking thing.
The everything outside of the black part is transparent. I want to use this shape as a mask so that another comp will appear inside the balloon shape, but not outside the shape.
Easy to do?

I'm new to working with GIS data imported into Civil 3d as shape files. I'm working on setting up base drawings for a new project area and I have a lot of data displayed as polygons with attributes. This is nice but I would like to be able to copy these to polylines on layers that I can have a little more freedom to work with.
For example the polygon boundaries are not exactly the boundaries that I need to show and editing the borders would be nice. Is there a better alternative to tracing the polygon boundaries? I have noticed when I extract feature geometry for line strings I get a polyIine I can use but the polygons' extracted geometry is a Mpolygon with solid fill.

I built a new computer, Windows 8, 64 bit.
Installed Acad LT 2011 64 bit.
Did an export of custom settings from a Windows 7 64 bit LT 2011 installation, imported those to the new Windows 8 LT 2011 installation. This was done using the Start>Programs menu. (I ditched the "Metro" stuff.)
The setup looks mostly the same, but when I go to use it, the icons don't match the commands. I have toolbars down the left and right sides with many icons. The icon for Hatch runs the Polygon command. The Move icon runs the Offset command. Lots of them are screwed up.
The ribbon commands along the top seem to be OK.

I'm trying to fill a shape with the pen tool as I have plenty of times, but I must've accidentally hit something, because now when I tell it to fill, nothing happens. It says it's filled, but no change is visible.

I am playing with the custom shapes. If for example I use a paw print custom shape is there a way to change the direction of it on the page. It seems if I want to have maybe 20 paw prints on graphic they will all be facing the same way. Is there a way to move them individually so they don't look all the same? I hope that makes sense.

My question is about gradients and anti-aliasing. I'm using PS 7.0 and what I want to do is use the custom shape tool, and fill the shape with a gradient. Not difficult, but here's where I get caught. After the shape is filled, I'd like the edges to remain anti-aliased.
For example, if I use the custom shape tool to create a hand print with anti-aliased edges, then use the magic want to select it. Next I grab my fore and back colors, choose a linear gradient and drag it in the appropriate direction. The selected shape is filled the way I want, but when I deselect, the edges have become pixelated. Is there a way to avoid this and keep them smooth? I tried using the blur tool and blur filter, but they don't quite have the same look.

I was using the custom shape tool (say I want to make a star) and in my other version of PS (7), it would automatically create a new shape layer, linked where you could click and change the color, etc.
When I try it in CS2 it draws the shape on the background directly. Now I am able to create a new layer, draw the shape and then fill it with a color to get the same result - but it was much easier the other way. I'm assuming it's just a setting (much like the changed linked layers setting)

If I import an Arcview shape file into Autocad Map, why can't i plot it out from Paper Space??? I can plot out shape file data in Model Space but not Paper Space. The data is mapped to a layer, and it can be viewed in "Print Preview" but nothing comes out when i plot from paper space.

It is possible to make a custom shape eraser in Photoshop? If not, do you get any plugins for that? Currently I only use a circle for erasing pixels.

I have drawn a shape using several layers. Is there anyway I can save this as a custom shape? If I go to 'define custom shape', it only saves one layer.
