I am trying to create a circle with a pre-defined diamter of 7mm, and then I want to add 20 (twenty) generated lines intersecting another 20 lines across the circle.
TO make it more difficult, I need to pre-define the width of the lines, as well as the spacing of the lines.
I'm trying to create dotted lines that are actually circles and not square shaped dots (the given option in the outline menu). Is the best/only way to do this by creating a new Artistic Media Brush? It seems like there should be an easier option when needing to create a long dotted line or a shape with a dotted outline.

I want to create the circle look going around a video (screen shot from someone elses video below.) I've tried creating scanlines and using the Polar Coordinates filter, but with no luck. All I'm looking to do is duplicate the repeating circles they've created, and then have the middle lines fade out in the center so the video behind it will be clear (I'm doing this effect in Photoshop but I'm probabaly going to use After Effects to incoorperate it into the video,) BUT the video is visable between each of the lines (again, see the screen shot below to understand what I'm talking about.)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to Photoshop, and am using CS3. I would like to be able to create a collage with a background image, with superposed layers that are each an image cropped to a circle or ellipse. I found an article on how to do this with a heart shape using Photoshop Elements. He...using-Elements), but after a few paragraphs, the controls specified there do not correspond with CS3.
Preferably I would like each circle to be framed with a relatively thin colored border, to set them apart from each other and the background. Outside the border, the circular layers should be transparent.
I understand that I can create a simple circular shape that will show up as a layer and have a corresponding path, and that I can make a selection from the path.
How do you smooth lines? Like if I trace something and the lines are just a touch jagged, how do I get them to look perfect? I'm using PS7.
Also, how could I make concentric circles? Or even just a hollow circle? I can use the shape tool to make a circle, but that fills it - is there a way to make it with just a 2 or 3 pixel outline and hollow in the middle?
Im having a little issue with connecting lines and circles but not sure how to shorten the question to do a search on here. I have 2 concentric circles (the two circles form the walls of a round tower wall) which have 2 lines (representing a wall) passing through them. I want to join the circles from the circumference to the lines, but each time I try to do it the line seems to default to the center of the circles and to the endpoints of the lines which is not what I want. The eventual aim will be to remove a section of the circles and the lines where the new line connects to them to form an opening in the walls.
Ive tried <shift>right click and selecting tangent on the circles but I cant figure out what to do on the lines and it constantly defaults to the end of the line not to where I want to intersect the lines.
Like when I draw a cylinder, instead of a solid cylinder I get two circles joined by two lines. How do I change this so that I get the solid?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am not able to draws circles and lines etc. using the ribbon or the command line. i am using the correct procedures per the tutorials and I have Google search how to add circles. I click the circle on the ribbon, choose my center point and drag to choose the radius, left click and no circle, same procedure for a simple line.

I drawning 2 circle as radius 250mm.the distance between two circle is 0.08mm I drawing one line segment between two circle and I Expanding line segment as length 20mm.then I offset this line The amount 2.5 mm in vertical side up.
When I trim these horizontal line that are Cross-Being with two circle the Remaining line segment is shorter than real distance between two arcs I thinks its happening?
Also I attached 7 pics I try show my problem.
Also when I want obtain horizontal distance with distance command or by linear the intersection is not start from circumference.
whats this and how I can get real horizontal distance between two arcs
When I drag out a circle, or use the node to curve the corners of a rectangle, the line isn't smooth. It looks like it's slightly jagged.
I'm trying to create a drawing which features the rounded edge of a playing card, with no luck. It simply doesn't look good.
I am working with a drawing provided to me by someone else, and where there should be arcs they have multiple line segments. I need a radius for what I'm doing, so I drew a circle with TTR and then tried to trim against the tangent lines to get my arc. However, sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. why this doesn't always work?

change all circles of a certain diameter in a .dxf file to points. I received the following lisp file. For the last 10-12 years it has worked great. We create many custom sized parts that could be cut on a plasma (utilizing the circles for holes) or punched, assigning a crosshair tool to the point. Now we are switching to a laser, and want to etch a crosshair at this same location. Our solution has been to draw the crosshair and copy to each required location. Sometimes this may be 20 to 30 locations. Now I would like to know if there is a way to replace all of these circles with a crosshair. This could be a similar lisp file, or an easier manual operation. I know that I can select all of the circles using the filter command and specifying the radius. But I don't know how to assign the 'crosshair' to these locations. (defun c:ctopt ( / ename cnt ss) (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "CIRCLE")))) (if ss (progn (setq cnt 0) (repeat (sslength ss) (setq ename (ssname ss cnt)) (if (equal (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.025 0.005) ;use this line for a radius 0.025 +/- 0.00015 ;(<= (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.05) ;use this line for a radius of 0.05 or less (progn (entmake (list '(0 . "POINT") (assoc 10 (entget ename))(assoc 8 (entget ename)))) (entdel ename) )) (setq cnt (1+ cnt)) ) ) ) (princ) )

I'm trying to make a logo. Circular logo with an inner ring maybe 4 px wide and 15 px inside the rim of the outer circle.
Basically I want a blue circle with a yellow inside ring. What's the best way of doing this? The only thing i can think of is: creating a blue circle marquee, and then another (trying to estimate a new circle size and change the color) that is yellow, and then making another smaller blue circle inside the new one. That's just ugly.
I tried the edit/stroke but that just gave me a stroke around the outer circle; it didn't put a ring inside the circle 15 px down.
Also I tried to contract the original circle by selecting it, then Modify/contract. That's got me a selected ring, inside the circle. Now how in the world do I make that little ring yellow? It just remains selected and I can't seem to find a way to color it.

I want to import a photo, trace geometric shapes over the photo like circles and lines, and then remove the photo. I have a very basic understanding of LAYERS. I have viewed a few tutorials. But I don't know how to import a photo or how to get rid of it once I have drawn the geometric shapes over it.
I'm creating a criminal line out background . I'm using the line tool to create the lines. I have renamed it in the path tool created a clipping mask but when I flatten the image once finished the lines disappear.
I have also tried creating a new layer naming it putting it between my copied layer and background but once again when flattening the image it doesn't keep the lines. I'm using CS4 .

I have been using Photoshop since 5.0, in Photoshop the line tool is used for creating lines, the pen tool is used for creating curved shapes, so what is used for creating curved lines?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a map and need to have curved lines ending in arrows. When I use the line tool it only makes straight lines. When I use the pen tool it only makes solid shapes. I wish to use a tool that acts like the pen tool in illustrator - will give me a line that I am able to curve as I choose, at the thickness I choose, in the color I choose. I've spent an hour trying different tools to achieve this and no luck. A coworker suggested creating the lines in illustrator then importing them, however that seems counterproductive and I can't believe Photoshop can't do something as simple as making a curved line!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a scanned copy of an old architectural plan of a building, it was done by hand is old and being a copy traced by crayon so you can imagine it is very fuzzy and speckled, there are clearly visible but no solid crisp lines.
It has taken me hours just to delete large areas of white space that is fuzzy/speckled.
there is a function that can trace a line ignoring the fuzziness around it and making it crisp? I've been playing around with the magic wand tool but its not coping with it. Despeckle filter doesn't really cut it either.
Is there an easier way to create gridlines as a design element? I know you can set/adjust the grid in the preferences, but I would like to be able to have the gridlines as something editable (changing colors/scale, etc.) and as an element in the piece (as opposed to just a guide overlay that's not integrated).
Up til now I've been doing this the hard way, using guides and the line tool to create/copy/move each line, etc. building it piece by piece...while this works,

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have looked everywhere at all sorts of photoshop and illustrator tutorials (because I couldn't find a Xara one) to accomplish this effect. I am creating a website for my client Jim and would like to incorporate a similar image to what he's using on his book cover, but with some different colors as the background to his site.
You can see what I'm trying to do in his blog header background here: [URL]......
I've found that this is a stock photo used in a lot of places, but I'm not really interested in getting the original image - I have that, but as a Jpeg on a black background. I'd prefer to learn how to create a similar effect in Xara.
I have tried all sorts of things that are kind of close, but just not there yet. I've tried using a line with pen pressure with a glow shadow. I've tried lines with a stained glass color overlay. I've tried creating a number of different brushes with a few levels of color, some with Gaussian blur applied, etc. but I just can't get this effect down. It always looks pretty good when I'm done, but then I look at the inspirational original and I'm not even in the ballpark for the amount of shine, glow, impact, etc.
In the end, this may not even work for the site since will be putting it on a light colored background, but I still want to know how to create this, as I'm sure I'll be able to use the technique elsewhere.
I've only done a few pictures using photos from my web cam, and goofing them up. I'm using elements, but I was wondering how you make computer generatic graphics like out of no where,
Examples are like odd backgrounds, things used for games.
