Photoshop :: Divide Layer Into 4 Quarters

May 12, 2012

Because I will be doing this often in the near future, I need to create an action to precisely divide a LAYER into 4 quarters, in order to easily create seamless patterns. I'm having trouble figuring out how to automate the placing of guides limited to the center points of the selected layer dimensions, as opposed to the entire image's dimensions. My second difficulty is in selecting the quarters; using the marquee tool, etc, the selection tool is NOT snapping to the guides, despite what I have the Snap To preferences set to.

I need to select the pixels right up to the guide line so that I can select the "Make a new layer via cut" and then move the new layers in position to make a seamless tile. Right now, it is selecting a few pixels off. (Annoying!) So until I can figure out how to address these issues, I can't even begin to record an action.

Even if I can't record a general action, due to the problem of different layers having different dimensions, I'd be happy to discover a shortcut to accurately quartering a layer but why I'm having trouble managing the marquee tool. I'm currently trying out the CS6 Beta but usually work in either CS5 or PSE 9.

Photoshop :: Dividing A Page Equally Into Halves, Quarters Etc

Jan 31, 2009

dividing a page equally and most importantly accurately in photoshop/illustor/indesign(all CS3) i guess you could think of it as exstablishing a grid.

so to be more specific here are the measurments of my photoshop document:

height: 27.3cm

width: 18.4 cm

so what im trying to do is divde this in to a grid field of 16, ie 4 fields deep and 4 fields high

now what i have tried to do is divide the page in half, so 18.4/2=9.2cm
but the rulers on my page go up in halves so 1,1.5,2,2.5cm so how do i indicate the 9.2 mark accurately. is there a way to make the ruler more accurate?

the same problem goes with the height.

hope u guys can help! ive been wrecking my brains with this one!

also i have some really quickfire questions:

1) should i always work in CMYK and print in CMYK?

2) can someone explain spot color and how to take something to print using it.

Photoshop Elements :: Divide Scanned Photos - Possible To Salvage When Background Is White?

Mar 13, 2013

I think Divide Scanned Photos feature is amazing! [URL] ....
 
For those scans I put black construction paper in the rear, it works like a charm.
 
However, my mom scanned multiple photos prior to us finding Elements and did not use a dark background.
 
Is there any way to salvage this or is it too late?
 
When we attempt to Divide Scanned Photos on a set of B&W photos with a white background, no luck.
 
PSE11 just spits out a copy of the same photo.

Photoshop Elements :: Improve Picture Separation Using Divide Scanned Photos In PSE9?

Dec 25, 2013

I have tried this feature with mixed results.  Scaning 2,3 or 4 pictures of different sizes, changing angles using an HP8600 Multifunction device.  I have tried both scannig using HP software and directly with Elements at 200, 300 and 600 dpi.  Elemets will sometime split off one of the pics but is not reliably sepatating them all.  What ca I do to improve my results?  I have a lot of pics to scan and really don't want to do them one at a time.

AutoCAD .NET :: Divide Polylines By Intersection?

Jun 26, 2013

I have drawing with lots of pol)lines which are intersecting themselves.

I would like to divide all selected lines by the point of intersection. 

I have this

[CommandMethod("BRA", CommandFlags.UsePickSet | CommandFlags.Redraw)] public static void TestIntersectAllLines() {

Illustrator :: Divide AND Ungroup In Action?

Nov 21, 2013

In CS5, I created a very handy action that allowed me to, with two paths selected, Divide, Ungroup, and Deselect, resulting in the divided paths without having to do each step manually.
 
In CS6, for some reason this is no longer possible-- if I try to record the same action, after the divide, everything is automatically deselected and I get a "The object "Ungroup" is not currently available" error. Very frustrating that the new version is more troublesome to use!!
 
I KNOW that it's possible to do this because I was somehow able to fudge it at one point and get this action to work. But I'm not sure what happened-- maybe a step was deleted in my action or something-- but one day it just stopped working. This action is basically THE function I use most in Illustrator given the way I work, and while it's not a huge step, having to manually reclick, ungroup, and deselect is a huge inconvenience.

Illustrator :: How To Divide Brush Strokes

May 27, 2013

I have no problem dividing objects using the "divide" tool in the Pathfinder palette, but I was wondering if there was a way to divide brush strokes?
 
For example, let's say you wanted to paint three brush strokes right next to each other, but not overlapping. Is there a way to select all three strokes and then divide them so no one stroke resides over another, they would be completely separate of each other.
