I have a curved shape which is a light color. I want to create a dark outline and have it fade into the light color as a gradient would, uniformly following the curved shape.
Photoshop elements 8
When I apply a gradient to a shape layer, the gradient is always applied as a rectangle.
e.g.
The red rectangle implies the edges of the gradient. It's a horizontal gradient.What I'm after is for the gradient to be applied in a way that uses the shape layer for the edges... so the same value will be applied evenly to the left side of the shape and then spread evenly to the right. Is this possible?

I want a gradient or blend (what exactly is the differnce?) that has a white middle and dark gray edges. The white goes along the pill horizontally but the dark gray is above and below this white "line" but the rounded edges of the pill shape are the dark gray. I'm using CS6.

I've tried to do this in both Illustrator CS4 and Photoshop CS4 and for some reason I can't get the gradient to apply only to the logo. Instead, it applies the gradient to the background. The logo is saved as a JPEG, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I create the canvas, then new layer, then rounded rectangle then when i try and put a gradient on it it wont let me telling "the content of the layer is not directly editable? i must be missing something dead simple?

View 7 Replies View Relateda photo in xara is actually a bitmap filled shape, so if you just try applying another fill, eg linear, it will replace the bitmap completely
so what you need to do is draw a rectangle over the photo - apply the fill you want to the rectangle - and then give it a transparency of type hue
now come the reservations - hue transparency has no affect on black/white/grey-tones, so you may not end up with an even fill as you can see from the example
you may wish to contone the bitmap first... the underlying color will still affect the fill to some extent... as can be seen from the green band in the examples..
the chosen fill ramp gives a rather nice effect on the original I think, but is a bit extreme on the contones...
[I find it useful for adding gradient color to raster line art, sometimes quicker than going into a bitmap editor and painting on color whilst preserving transparency...]
I'm in the process of making a collage which consists of several layers with elements cut out from photographs (=these elements make up the composition). All elements have their separate layer.
My question is how can I apply a gradient overlay to a selection or 1 element(=on seperate layers).
I found how I can apply a gradient overlay but this is for the whole image instead of 1 specific element in the composition.
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.

Currently, I am using Pen tool to select the curved area. However, Pen tool is tedious to use and the lines are not curved smoothly.
is there any other way to create curved shape apart from Pen tool.
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 can crop and feather a selection of an image, but what i wanted to do was apply a feathered edge to an entire image so that i could drop it into a word doc and it would look a bit smarter.
I've been trying to do it by -
'Select > All ' then ' Select > feather ' applying the amount of feather (i did an inch just to make sure).
But it made no difference - i tried exporting this as a JPEG to see if it came up then but it still didn't make a difference...

I have a grayscale image that's a pretty consistent 85-90% black towards
the edges. I want to print it on a full page in a book, but I can't use
a bleed, so I want to fade the edges to white. I can only alter the
outside 1/4".
I figured out how to select a "frame" of color on the outside (select
the inside and Select > Inverse), but my attempts at using a gradient
fill on this frame have not been working too well. A radial gradient
fill (started from the center of the image) is too light by the time it
gets to the edge of the frame, and because the frame is rectangular,
it's not consistent. Linear gradient only seems to affect one edge of
the frame at a time.
What's the best way to fade my
1/4" wide frame from almost black to complete white, inside to outside?
In Autodesk Inventor 2013. I have a simple cylinder extrusion with a rectangle attached to the cylinder. Drawing file attached(extrusion 1). Whenever I apply a chamfer to one of the straight edges, Inventor generates negative taper on the cylinder wall (if you zoom in with a window, you can clearly see that their are two lines on the cylinder wall where the chamfer edges was applied).
Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? This gives me all sorts of problem in my CAM software because the tool is trying to machine in an area it cannot get to.
As a work around I have to create a new part file with a small gap between the cylinder and the chamfered edges. This keeps the cylinder edges nice and straight with no taper. The work around is attached as well. Since the tool can't go that far into the corner given the radius of the tool, the gap has no affect on me generating code. I have tried many different ways on creating this part with chamfers with no luck. Once the chamfer is generated, it should match the profile of the cylinder.
I open a new project and add a layer, then create a rounded rectangle, is there a way to fill just that rounded rectangle with a gradient.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy 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.

Actually, I get one more complex part that is showing approximated curved edges with lines. The simpler parts are displayed correctly.
- Display quality is set to Smoother
- Changing minimum frame Hz doesn't work
- I disabled the integrated intel GPU (in the bios)
- I have good hardware, it shouldn't be a problem
I thing somehow Inventor decided this complex part should be approximated
Any other settings I can change ? Maybe a value directly in the registry ?
