Photoshop Elements :: How To Control Roundness Of Rectangle
Oct 29, 2013
I’m using Photoshop Elements 10. I want to round the corners of a photo I’ve added filters to. I want to control the amount of roundness. When I select the rounded rectangle tool and draw a rectangle over to photo, I do not see the handles that control the roundness. Is there an easier way to do this? I eventually want to add a beveled edge, drop shadow, and use the image as a background for a web page. I have the complete CS6 suite.
It seems that, in CS6 Photoshop, I could RIGHT CLICK, and a small panel would drop down at cursor location, allowing me to change size, hardness, and roundness of the brush.
I have recently updated to 13.0.1. The technique described above no longer works, but I can't be sure that this happened after the update. I may, as often, have screwed up a preference checkbox.
I have 4 layers (background, layer1, layer2, layer3-text). They fill all 300 x 600 pixels that comprise the .psd/future image. What I want to do is use a rounded rectangle to encompass all of the other layers, so that the surrounding pixels (around the rounded rectangle) are transparent.
I want all of my current layers to be the content of a rounded rectangle.
I would like to have all the photos on my site to be same size and square. However, a number of my original photos are rectangle. Is there a way to change the rectangle photos to square photos?
How do I control the scrollbars in Photoshop Elements? I have my picture zoomed to 100%. I cannot scroll around the picture to see the places I want to see. The scrollbars jump only to locations preset by Adobe!! I WANT CONTROL OVER THE SCROLLBARS!!
In the Photo Editor of Elements 11, when I click on the Text Tool, I can't get the Text Control Box to open. I've tried everything I can think of. The video on Adding Text shows the window aready open. While your answering, I will check in the Preferences.
On my website, especially when pictures are side by side, I try to make all the same, i.e. square. To me it looks better. I have a picture that is rectangle and obviously cannot resize to a square - distorts the picture. I know there is a way to copy the rectangle picture into a square picture frame which allows the picture to be square while not distorting the rectangle size.
But I don't know how to do this. I have watched a video on this but still not clear how to do it.
I used to be able to control the sliders on my earlier Adobe Elements with my middle wheel on my mouse but on installing 12 version this does not seem to work any more, which is a great pity as it was so precise.
Recently, when I try to open Photoshop elements 9, I am asked to allow PSElements 9 adobe systems inc. to make administrative changes to my computer. I have had Elements 9 on this computer for 2 years without being asked for this permission. If I click yes, photoshop opens, if I click no, it doesn't open so I then have to click yes!
I have just started exploring APE 11 and found one problem. I cannot control GPS coordinates and location tags when I use Add Places. Google maps does not always show correct place on map when address is entered, if I adjust the place on map manually, it either loses location tags or asumes that it is another address. Neither scenario is desired. What I would love to do is to be able to type coordinates and edit location tags (now only deletion is an option). API 11 does not allow to do what I want, is that correct?
I was thinking about doing some manipulation with *.pse11db file as it apperantly is SQLite database. Any example of SQL query that would
a) list all photos (their full file paths) for specified album and b) SQL query that would allow to edit GPS coordinates and location tags for specified photo (its full file path)?
I need to clean up a picture of a worn out control panel. This will be printed on decal transfer paper for hobby modelers. The photo is entirely black and white. I just downloaded photoshop elements 12 (free trial). My question is what area of the editor is the best place to start with?
Using AutoCAD 2013 and TOL command to generate feature control frames. We set our lineweights based on layer assignments.
Problem is that when printing, AutoCAD seems to randomly assign a lineweight to the feature control frames. It can vary from what it's supposed to be (such as lineweight set for the dimension layer) or thicker than even what the object lines are set at. Seems to pick a random linewieght at time of printing for these elements (just the boxes, not the symbols/text itself).
Is there a setting we should be defining somewhere to force it to follow the lineweight of the layer that it has been assigned to? Known bug?
I've been experimenting with different ways to control the appearance of my symbols and elements.
I've seen multiple examples where people would add custom styles to the head of the html document created by edge. I've tried this, but no matter how I tweak it, I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried adding it to the existing edge runtime <style> tag, creating my own <style> tag (both before and after the edge runtime) and then adding the CSS into that, but to no avail. I have tried adding the class to both symbols and elements on the stage using both jQuery and that class form field next to the element name. I've also made sure to close out of the project before I add my styles, just in case that was the problem.
I feel like there might be some edge animate terminology/notation thing that I'm missing, because it seems like it should be a pretty straightforward process.
I've placed my Edge animation in an iFrame.I would like to be able to trigger the animations in the Edge file, by clicking on links in the parent document.
I have shot a sign that I couldn't quite center. I ended up with the two sides and the bottom vertical and horizontal as i want but; the top is curved in toward the center enough to be visible. The rectangle is a record board so it is filled with names and times that go funny when I try to perspective transform, so either the likely that I don't know how to use transform> perspective.
I'm trying to create an effect on a webpage using a gradient. I'm basically looking for 4 regular linear gradients starting at each of the four sides of the page and turning transparent/white in at about 15%, I don't want the gradient to go all the way to the middle. The problem is of course the corners, I cannot figure out a way to make them look right.
 Does anyone know how to do this or have any ideas? I'm new to ps but fairly proficient. This is what I have so far but I'm looking for blended corners, like a picture frame....one of the keys that I'm looking for is the ability to change how far the gradients extend from the edge of the page.
I'm trying to rotate the rectangle marquee on an image in a layer. Everytime I rotate it rotates the selection being made. How would I rotate the rectangle marquee without rotating the selection then I will be able to delete the selection after rotation.
I am trying to use the rec tool to color shade a box around some text and i keep losing the text.....it has worked on some of my labels but 2 wont work.....
