Photoshop :: Curved Paths
May 13, 2006
I am working my way through both Martin Evenings "PSCS for Photographers" and Barbara Obermeiers "PSCS for Dummies" (thats me I think) and I'm really struggling to understand curved paths.Does anyone know of a site that explains them in very basic terms i.e. kids stuff?.
As I understand it when I drag from a straight segment to create a new path for a curve and release the mouse and I should get an anchor point and one direction line and one direction point,but all I seem to get is what appears to be a tiny plus sign at the end of the line.

I've been working on trying to make this once-a-circle curve cleanly shaven off to the edge of the green box it's on top of, but instead I always end up with the result you see below:
So, is there any way I can crop it off right to the edge rather than actually just getting shorter whenever I try to get rid of the bit hanging off there?

How to create a flow arrow label for a feature line that parallels the curve?
I've a vague notion that this could be done with a dynamic block and a few fancy expressions. I'm comfortable with expressions, but I've never used dynamic blocks at all, so I wouldn't know where to start.
To be clear, I know curved text is possible, but I'm looking for a curved line (ie an arc) that would look 'parallel' to the arc of the feature line (ie have the same centre point). This would have to be dynamic to allow for different radii and for flipping to the left and right side of the feature line.

Having a time getting ribs to align 2m below top of ridge beam, and connect to curved wall below. I created one, then arrayed, but the radius changes at each 2.5 degree interval. I don't think I should have to calculate the % radius change to get the beams to do this. Some constraint button maybe?
Not sure if editing a wall profile is the best way to model this, but it's working.

I want to extrude a big number of pillars to a rather complicated surface and that works out fine. But each end of the pillars warps around the surface and I want them just to go up to it and stop with a resulting horizontal face.

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 am currently working in a facade that has a stylized gondola on it. The gondola has curved walls for the sides, and I need to have the curved cut to give it the shape. The tools I know are for straight walls, not curved. and the Opening/wall makes a squared opening, not curved.

how I can produce curved text?
For example, txet that follows an arc, how to do distorted text, but that's not what I want.
I want the text to look normal as it follows, for example, an arc or circle.

Is it possible to draw a curved line, preferably with arrows at one or both ends? Lines drawn with the freeform brush are too jaggedy; I'm looking for something with intermediate handles that will make smooth curved leaders for text annotation of features in photos.
I've figured out how to make paths...what I'm trying to do is make a line that follows a path - without having the program "fill in" the path-defined region.

New to this forum but pretty proficient in photoshop for self-taught.
I've figured out everything I've ever needed to do in Photoshop and Illustrator on my own, but this one has me stumped!
I'm familiar with warping and the other free transform tools, but can't piece this one together...
Assuming I have a grid of icons equally sized and spaced, how can I make my image curve in 3d with perspective, like in the attached image?

I am having a heck of a time trying to make a curved line. I have Photoshop version 8.0
Can this only be done using the Pen?
Can I use the 'line' tool and curve that line somehow?
The graphic I am trying to make is the bottom of a boat anchor.

I'm trying to make a logo composed of nothing but smooth curved thin lines, no filled shapes...I've been using the pen tool and then stroking the path with the brush tool but the line isn't quite as smooth as I'd like...

I am attempting to redo this logo for a client and cannot seem to find a simple way of getting the circles to slightly get bigger each time and then follow an arc round.
I have tried messing with paths and then attempted to just do it manually/freehand but it just doesn't look right. Surely there must be a quicker simple way? Any ideas?

to create a curved shape is. So say you have a rectangular shape running down the left side of the page, but the right side of the shape is curved.

I have a rectangle and I need to drag the bottom corners up, leaving the centre section in place to create a curve along the bottom edge.
What I don't want is to create a mask to hide the bottom corners, as I need the image on the left and right edges to compress as I drag it up.

I'm trying to create a solid black-line-only (clear background), maybe with some grey scale, image of curved spacetime; a good example would be that field around a black hole.
I can just invert that one, and it looks pretty cool.
But, I would really like to take this image and transform it, keeping only the black lines and maybe some grey scale.
