I 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.
I have 2 graphiccards here on my system ( 3 monitor ) a 8400GS and a 8800GT. Photoshop runs on my primary monitor connected to the 8800GT. When I look into the performance settings for the GPU there my 8400GS is listed. How can I change that to the 8800 card?
I'm trying to install a graphics tablet on my computer (Dell, Windows 64-bit), but for some reason it wasn't working with my Photoshop CS6 Extended. I was advised to uninstall Photoshop and then re-install in order to get the tablet to work with it. I have the Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium but I only uninstalled Photoshop Extended specifically.
Now that I'm going to re-install Photoshop, I'm unsure what to do. Do I download the trial version of Photoshop Extended and then put in my serial number? Or should I uninstall all of the Creative Suite and then re-install that?

Is there a way to insert a Ai graphic into msWord and the graphic text still be searchable in msWord? I would like the text in my Ai graphic to be searchable once the graphic is inserted in msWord. I have tried different Ai exports, but all come into msWord as pictures. Is there a way to keep the Text Layer in my Ai file searchable in msWord.
How do I paste a graphic over an existing graphic on a header? and how do I determine the amount of pixels to be covered and the amount of pixels in the graphic I am wanting to use?
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.
Currently I am running PhotoShop extended CS5, 64bit. in which i have my fovorite plugins (Topaz, Nik and OneOne) running perfectly.
I have upgraded to Adobe Creative Cloud and installed PhotoShop extended CS6 using Adobe Application Manager as recommended. It didn't ask me if I wanted to upgrade or do a new install for PhotoShop. So now I CS6 running with no Plug-ins. I need my plugins! LOL.
I tried pointing to additional plugins in the CS6 preference to the CS5 plugin folder. Upon Launch it gave me a whole slew of error messages saying something cant load or launch C+ runtime error or what not. It does open up, but it only gives access to Nik and Topaz. OnOne doesn't show up under filters or extensions.
So, what are my options?
Just copy the plugins from CS5 to CS6?
I dont't want to reinstall all the plugins to CS6 if I don't have to as I've auto updated them over time to current versions online, so only have installation files for my original purchases.
I'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.

I have been shooting several images of architectural interiors and stitching them together and the attached image is the result I get. I would like to be able to distort, or stretch the center of the image up and down without effecting the left and right ends of the image.
I have a photoshop file and the dominant color is blue, however then I am saving it as gif or jpg, the blue turns in to purple I am not sure why, I've checked all the settings and I am not sure what is causing it, see attachments for clarity, blue.jpg is what the photoshop file looks like purple.jpg is what it looks like then saved as jpg,
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.
the 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)?
Let 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 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?
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.
I'm happy with the NX version, but if I want to upgrade to XT, how do I do it? I looked on the upgrade options for XT and upgrading from NX, is not there.
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.
I create a graphic in Corel Draw X4 and export it as a .png file. It is a button with rounded corners. It will be going on a black background when put into an iphone app. So as to not have the little white corners show up from the rectangular export window, I made the button on top of a black rectangle, slightly larger than the button. I then selected the black to be transparant during the dialogs of exporting to png. When viewed in an image viewer the black is indeed transparent and does not show up. All looks fine.
To test what it will look like when put on top of a black background, I also make a black square and export it as a .png. I then open the black background in Corel Photopaint and then import the graphic into the background image. A siloutte of it shows up with the marque borders but the graphic itself (the colors and contents of the graphic don't). When combined with the black background it just disappears. Why doesn't it just lay on top of the other graphic?
When 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.
I have jpg images I want to appear like open book pages. I don't want just a corner turning along one edge but to have the image look like an open book page.
I want to visualize a song on a easter egg edges, which are curved. So, my question is how do i curve Audio spectrum without distorting it like with Polar Coordinates?
We used to use version 4 at work and loads of images drawn, my boss has converted to version 12 but when we open the drawings now all the text is in the wrong place and too big etc.
I have been given the task of fixing them all and wondered if there was an easy fix rather than clicking on each text box and changing each bit one by one, sitting with my fingers crossed.
Is there a way of distorting a selection to remove the 'keystone' effect which has made a rectangular page into a trapezium. (Photograped at a slight angle, I want it square for OCR.)
