I have a strange problem that I've started experiencing since upgrading my PC. I was previously running CS4 and Lightroom 2 without problems on Windows XP Pro 32 bit - I recently upgraded to new hardware and Windows Vista 64 bit so that I could use more RAM as I was regularly receiving running out of RAM messages when working on large print resolution files.
View 17 RepliesI am using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 on a Windows XP. I've been using tutorials to create things. Many of them call for the option filter -> distort.
But my problem is that I do not have that distort button.
The options I have in filter are Blure, Noise, Pixelate, Sharpen, Stylize, and Other.
I've been trying to use either displacement or the 3D function to create a realistic looking tattoo on a photo, but even the simplest line image won't bring up the "distort" or "render" option under "filter." I'm using CS,

When It Comes to Step 4, Filter > Distort is Unselectable.
so I made a displacement gradient map, flat image, I saved it as .psd file, with ICC deselected, then I opened desired image, a jpeg one, I choose filter-distort-displace, I enter 100 horizontal, 0 vertical, strech to fit and repeat edge pixels, ok, select the newly saved displacement gradient map.psd, ok and NOTHING!!!............no displacement, distortion, NOTHING!
what I did wrong? seems like nothing but I must have slipped something out of memory.
I'm working on a Wrap for my Van and designed the initial design concept at low resolution. Now I'm recreating the file at final output resolution and for some reason I cannot use the filter-distort option. Its greyed out, any suggestions as to why or how to fix it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm on a Mac with Photoshop CS. I have this tapered swoosh, so to speak, with a layer mask attached to it. When I go to Edit/Free Transform/Distort, I only get a single box when, as far as I know, I should be getting multiple. This singular transform box only gives me as much movement as the regular transform, which isn't enough. Does anyone know what's wrong? It's necessary that I dip the middle of the swoosh and modify the swoosh in ways that only a whole bunch of directional options will handle. Should I be using Warp? I don't have Warp though...

View 3 Replies View Relatedunder the Transform command I use the distort function quite a bit, usually to correct lense distortion. When using the distort function I use the mouse to select a top left or top right corner handle and drag it to a point where I am happy with the result. I want to do the same but instead of using the mouse I want to use the keyboard direction arrows to effect the same change. At present if I select the left top corner handle, and I use the keyboard arrows the whole image moves in that direction. It will not apply the same action as the mouse does. The reason for wanting to use the keyboard is I want more control over the correction. I find using the mouse a bit all over the place in getting the correct point.

The 2nd person to reply, Terri Foster, said "maybe the map is buried too deep in your file structure" - she is absoultely right.
I spent 2 days reinstalling Photoshop (CS2) and trying to get the effect I wanted without the displacement filter. My file was buried 8 folders deep and I tend to use square brackets in folder names, too. Once I'd saved the map to the desktop instead,
I usually distort my image with the classic skew, rotate, scale... tools but
that time I really need to deform the image along a path.
So I want to draw a path (selection) and distort the image along it.
I opened an existing psd file in Photoshop CS2.
It just consisted of a bottom layer and another layer with a fill.
I flattened the layers.
I then went to filter>distort>lens correction, because I wanted to introduce some lens distortion to the image - but the "lens correction" option was greyed out.
I tried doing this with another image and it was fine.
I want to add progressive blur to a pic from left to right, I can do so on several layers with masks, and add more and more blur on each one.
I would like a similar effect, but with the wave filter.
For example, a straight horizontal line at the left that slowly starts waving in larger and larger amplitudes.
(the final idea is a bit more complicated, but I only want to get some initial help so that I can figure out the rest myself).
In fact: several other filters from the distort group behave the same way: apply more intense filtering to a next layer, and the beginning/end and curve doesn't fit anymore.
I have a layer which is white with a clouds render but when I want to go the next step I cannot access the twirl tool or the zig zag tool. I notice this is the only filter I cannot access.why or what I should do to be able to access it for my project.

2) when shape(mask) tweening in AE is it capable of what Flash calls ease-in/out, or what Illustrator and CorelDRAW calls "speed"or "acceleration" respectivly?
I have a photo and need to blur/distort out a face. When I use one of the blurs or distorts it does the whole photo. If I use the elliptical thingie it just makes the ellipse, but I don't know how to apply the blur to that spot.

Two restrictions:
No using Shape3D
No using the circle selector. I'm not asking about cropping an image. I want to distort it so that it is a circle.
Certainly elements - not all - of my illustrator file (cs5, MacOS) distorts when I down scale it's size.

View 2 Replies View Relatedstill getting used to manipulating (esp distorting) objects. I haven't been able to figure out how to distort just a portion of an obect.
I have an object (a compound shape) with many anchor points, an object made from a scanned ink drawing. It's a helmet with two intricate pieces that come down on either side. I need to make these hanging parts shorter while the rest of the object remains unchanged, so I want to basically select these parts of the object via the direct selection tool and resize them vertically, but all of the distortion tools I can find effect the entire object.
I tried to separate these parts of the object, distort, then re-attach them to the main object, but then I loose the compound shape and all the "holes" on the inside of the object become filled and don't come back even when I re-compond the shape. Also, this seems like an impractical work around to a simple problem.
