Photoshop Elements :: Make A Flat Circle Look Rounded?
May 26, 2013
I have a flat drawing of the earth on its own layer and, through shading, would like to make it look rounded. Painting over it with the brush tool at a low opacity might be one way to do it, but is there an easier way?
Filter > Distort > Diffuse Glow came close to the effect I want, but Spherize was off the mark. Anything else I can try?
I am making a pictured based off of one of my drawings, and it requires that it can transform a flat, perspective image to make it look rounded. How would I accomplish this?
I'm wondering how to trace the "tail" of my bear using the Pen Tool in Photostop. I've already traced all around the bear to create the general shape. Now I need to create the lines within the bear to give the shape life.
I've been using Photoshop for years, but have never needed a curved line of some sort until now... so now I ask: How is this done?
I am building a Crankshaft. How to build the connecting weights that attach the main journals to the connecting rod journals. I can post a screenshot of the design. I have a extruded face that is a half circle on the top.so I am trying to fillet or cut a section off of the rounded edge. I have tried to build tangent workplanes and projecting geomety, but to no avail.
However I'm tired of having all my sites being so square... so how do I round the edges at the top & bottom header & footers. Here would be one simple example: ....
I'm building a flash site and i'm trying to make that nice smooth and rounded outline (just a simple dark grey line with rounded edges) to put in the background
I cannot seem to do this! I feel very stupid, as i'm not actually bad with photoshop. I've made a 750x450 photoshop file and just cant get it to look nice.
Does someone have a simple method for this? How can i do it to the very maximum size that will fit on the 750 450 doc?
the perfect example is of the main flash part of the macroedia site here here
Firstly, I'm using Illustrator CS6. I'd like to round a specific corner of a shape (a rectangle to be specific). I've seen in other posts that the CornerEffects.jsx script should work. But every time I select my rectangle, go to File > Scripts > CornerEffects.jsx I get this pop-up.
I have a rounded corner rectangle in a template that I am working on..I would like to extend the vertically but keep the rounded edge dimensions the same as I extend vertically.
Right now I extend the rectangle but the edges also extend.
I am working in cs6 for Illustrator and Photoshop. I would like to make a rounded rectangle with an inner border. The area between the two borders I would like to add a decorative paper that I created in Photoshop. The large center remains white. I've tried clipping it, but apparently did not do it correctly. How to accomplish this?
I am trying to get my drawings into revit but I am stuck on getting the basic form of the building in Revit.
Since I am using slanted walls I need to work with a Mass but I can't get the mass look like my idea. The picture I attached is a simple screen capture of Rhino with the outline of the building.
I have a sketch where I want to fill in clothing areas with a fabric texture, but I'm wondering how to make it so that my textures aren't flat. The bulge effect and "rotate layer" function work, but it's tedious and unrealistic. Is there a tool or plugin?
I am trying to make the hands of a clock with a small red rounded rectangle near the top. But as I rotate the shape the lines are no longer straight. The hands of the clock are invisible but a bounding box for the small rounded rectangle. It won't stay straigh either. I have tried everything I can paths, etc.
im trying to skin a jukebox program and im using this button , i need to make it a rectangle with slight rounded corners if possible
Also when i save my image as png file on transparent background it saves with a white square around it and then when i put it into the juke software it shows up some bits of background , am i doing something wrong here?
I am trying to make a perfect circle that is the size of a CD.
I have made guides that are 5" x 5" wide (a little wider than an actual CD) and 5"x5" tall. When I try to create a circle shape or marquis inside of my lines, I can't. I have to make an oval in order to meet my guides.
I thought it was an issue with my units in my rulers. No dice. I tried creating a marquis fixed at 5"x5". No dice. Still an oval. Shouldn't 5"x5" be a perfect circle? A circle with a circumference of 5" would be the same all the way around, right? Or do I need to go back to geometry class?
I have a square that I want to make into a circle, without distorting it. I want to create a circle using it as a stroke... I"m using CS2, can anyone help
I used the transform and the warp tool and got it into a circle, but there were points where it was pinched and it looked stupid.
I thought maybe there was a way to make a circle and use that "pattern" as a stroke for it, but so far I can't figure it out.
i tried making it a brush and needless to say...
We use that square to put around all of our letterhead and official station documents. I've created a CD-Rom media kit of our stuff and want to put it around the edge of the cd label, but unfortunately for me, cd's are round which is not condusive to the template I have....
I was using a tut on how to make a circle. I clicked file then new then I picked circle and went to drag it to do the circle and the icon was a hand. When I tried to use other shapes the same thing happened. I just bought Creative Suite 4 (Web Premium) and I'm using PS CS4 Extended.
How do I make the frame & photo rounded just like they did in the following template I'm working on in Flash. They say they did it in Photoshop.
I used the rectangel tool and it always makes the photo inside out. I need it to round the edges not hide the photo. Is there a way to show the middle of the photo and then make a frame like they did on the website?
I have Photoshop elements 2.0 for mac and have read your "Making round corner rectangles in Photoshop" I think that Elements must not have the this option. I'm missing the paths (Create Work Paths Tool) (Vector Shape tool) Everytime I use the "rounded Corners Rectangle tool" It makes rounded corners but it does it in reverse.
I takes away the middle of my photos instead of the outside of the photos. I can't seem to reverse this or invert it. I tried clicking in invert and nothing happens. It just always takes away the center of the photo. What can I do???
We work on animal designs for our jewelry. We would like to make lines going around the designs like a frame that would look like a rounded wire or pipe.
Handcrafted unique jewelry created in animal, wildlife, flower and western designs.
Now with PSP it was very easy to take a screen shot and highlight a button or area on the image by drawing a hollow circle or oval and set the border color and width.
I am struggling to find the best way to achieve this in Photoshop?
