Photoshop :: Creating A Vector From Selected Pixels

Aug 2, 2008

I have drawn a vector shape and want to apply 4 colours to it. I have drawn 4 squares with the colours I want and then merged the layers so it becomes 1. I then "selected the pixels" on my shape and cut out that shape from the 4 squares of colour i created. However, when I resize my shape, it blurs as it is not vector anymore.

Is there a way to do acheive the above but keep the shape a vector?

Photoshop :: Error When Holding Shift To Constrain A Brush Stroke

Nov 19, 2013

When we hold Shift while painting with the brush or pencil tool the stroke is constrained to a 180, 90 or 45 degree angle.
 
ever since CS4, when we do this, a faint brush line appears to connect the end of the first stroke with the beginning of the next creating all sorts of unwanted effects. This happens regardless of where we make the next stroke.
 
The only way of not having this happen is to keep reselecting the brush tool (keyboard shortcut B) after each stroke. When there are many lines to draw, doing this creates unnecessary delay in workflow.

Photoshop :: Draw A Straight Vertical Line Like Horizontal By Holding Down Shift+tool?

Sep 8, 2002

I use Photoshop 7 & do a lot of cleanup of bitmap/tiff images, such a logos & symbols that need cleaning up around the edges etc. Holding the shift down while drawing with a brush in eraser, etc. mode creates a straight horizontal line & that makes cleaning a horizontal edge easy & quick.

Is there any keystroke combinations that will draw a perfectly straight vertical line?

Paint.NET :: Ordinary Layer Shift (move Pixels) By Multiples Of Pixels Is Not Sufficient

Feb 5, 2013

I have several layers in an image, and I need to align them precisely. The ordinary layer shift ("move pixels") by multiples of pixels is not sufficient. Is there a tool or plugin for PDN that allows sub-pixel shifts (i.e. moves by fractions of pixel)? And rotations by very small angles?

Paint.NET :: Drawing Line Using Current Tool When Holding SHIFT

Aug 16, 2011

I'm trying to use it instead of my photoshop «not very legal» version.

There is a feature I really like in Photoshop and GIMP which is the ability to draw a line using pen/brush/eraser/any tool using the SHIFT modifier key. This really miss me in Paint.NET. You click somewhere, you move the cursor elsewhere, holding SHIFT you click again, and (using the tool you currently have selected) a perfect line is drawn between the two points.

Paint.NET :: Any Way To Shift Pixels By A Specified Amount?

Dec 19, 2011

Often, especially when I'm working with screenshots, I'd like to be able to set the canvas size, and then paste in a larger image and move it to a specific point. This would allow me to automatically cut out the Windows portion of the screenshot, menu bars, scroll bars, whatever, while still keeping the actually interesting pixels in the same place from screenshot to screenshot.

In the past, what I've done is essentially to create a selection mask:

Prep:
Paste the image into the backgroundCreate a 2nd layerSelect over the interesting pixels on the image in the 2nd layerInvert the selection in the 2nd layer and fill it with a solid colorRepeat:

Make a magic wand selection of the un-colored pixels in the 2nd layerSwitch to the background and copy the selection to the clipboardWork with the copied pixels (in another Paint.Net window, or another program)

Paste the next image into the backgroundSwitch to the 2nd layerBecause of the manner in which Paint.Net handles the canvas, this workflow would be greatly simplified if I could programmatically move pixels:

Prep:
Select the interesting pixels in the first imageCrop to SelectionRepeat:

Work with the pixels remaining on the canvasPaste the next image (select "Keep Canvas Size")Shift Pixels so that the interesting portion of the image is on the canvasI looked through the entire menu structure in 3.5.10 several times, and didn't see anything that would obviously produce this transformation. I'm aware of the Ctrl+<arrow> method for moving by 10px, which is certainly better than just using the arrow keys. And I've seen references to the Panelling effect plugin which performs a similar function, but (without having tried it) I expect it would not produce the desired effect if I wanted to create negative/empty space on one or two sides of the shifted pixels, or if one of my images was smaller than the total desired area.

Is this already available in Paint.Net, and I just missed it? Or is there a plugin that accomplishes this specific transformation without additional side effects?

Photoshop :: Make Vector Shape From Path Without Having To Define New Custom Shape?

Photoshop :: Why Do Paths Snap To Pixel Grid Although (snap Vector Tools To Pixel Grid) Is Off

Aug 8, 2012

When I drag around vector points of paths they are not constrained to the pixel grid, when the option "Snap Vector Tools and Transform to Pixel Grid" is off. This is the behavior I expect.BUT: When I drag whole paths, they snap to the pixel grid, no matter what. I even have snapping completely disabled.
 
This is particularly annoying when eg. creating a path for a zipper. I first make a path for the inside of the jacket or whatever, then I make one notch for the zipper and copy it over and over again for all the notches. It's very troubling when these elements snap to the pixel grid, because it's very unprecise then.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Inactive Snap Shortcut Menu (shift + Right Mouse Button)?

Nov 6, 2012

I have an inactive snap shortcut menu. When clicking shift + right mouse button the menu appears but when I typet

"E" for "ENDpoint",  "M" for "Midpoint" or when I just click over the respective icons in the menu nothing really happens and I get the following message in the command bar:

"Command: _endp Unknown command "ENDP".  Press F1 for help."

or 

"Command: _mid Unknown command "MID".  Press F1 for help."

I tried following, none of which worked:

1. resetting the main customization file ACA_Global.cuix

2. switching between different profiles and cuix files

3. reinstalling Autocad Architecture 2013

4. uninstalling and Installing Autocad Architecture 2013 service pack 1

5. installing older versions of Autocad (2008 and Architecture 2012)

6. reinstalling Windows 7 and installing Autocad Architecture 2013 again

GIMP :: Snap Cursor To Whole Pixels When Drawing Path

May 7, 2013

I use GIMP 2.6.8 - when I switch to "path" tool or to "free select tool" mouse pointer is allowed to set vertices of the path or selection on non-integer coordinates (i.e. at x=13.5 and y=26.8 pixels)

How can I disable this feature and make mouse pointer (or vertex) snap to pixel boundary (or even to grid). I want it to be able to create paths / selections more accurately sometimes.

(or could I at least enter coordinates for each next vertex manually)

Photoshop :: CS6 - Unable To Snap Vector Anchor Points To Grid?

May 7, 2012

CS6 Extended (not beta version)
Windows 7
 
I need the anchor points to snap to whatever I have my gridlines and subdivisions set to in preferences along with guides I place. When I make the initial anchor points, they snap, but moving them after that, they don't snap. I see the new snap vector to pixel grid, but for the majority of my projects, that will not be used.
 
I have snap check marked and snap to all selected. Never had this problem before CS6.

Photoshop :: Auto-select Layer Within 10 Pixels Of Shape Impossible Without Having To Zoom In?

Jul 3, 2012

I have been using CS6 for a while now and one problem that I keep encountering is the auto-selection of shape layers. Trying to auto-select a layer that's within 10 pixels of a shape layer is impossible without having to zoom in. This is a little hard to explain without images... Cue image...
 
If you try to recreate the above image, where the black 20x20px rectangle is a shape and the red 38x38px rounded rectangle is rasterized pixels, you will see that auto-selecting the red rounded rectangle is impossible at 100%.
 
Is this intentional and just an issue for me? Selecting pixel layers in CS5 was never this annoying. It seems that shape layers have an invisible 10px area around them stopping you from selecting anything below them. This is so frustrating with pixel UI work.

Photoshop :: How To Keep Same Opacity To Vector Shape Using Pen Tool In CS6

Aug 27, 2013

I have been using the pen tool for more than 2 years already, but when I started using CS6, I have lots of difficulties using the pen tool. I use the pen tool for vector portraits and I need to use opacity 8 for every vector.

But when I add another shape on top of it, it gets back to 100% opacity, so I have to change it to opacity 10 again. This has caused me to spend a lot of time on something else than trying to make my work quick and fast.

Photoshop :: Simplifying / Smoothing A Vector Shape

Apr 2, 2013

Is there any way to "simplify" an existing vector shape layer by somehow "averaging out" curves to remove as much of the unnecessary anchors as possible?
 
For instance, a simple sphere can be just 4 anchors. The one I'm working with has 100 anchors. The vast majority of them are useless, and only make the shape look uneven upon close (zoom-in) inspection. If there was an option, perhaps one with a slider ever, that allowed me to "simplify" this vector shape by removing anchors and adjusting angles to compensate .

Photoshop :: Vector Shape Distorted When In Bitmap

Jul 20, 2005

When i draw a vector shape using the shape tool and then resize it, it becomes distorted and pixelated as though it has been trandformed into a bitmap image.

Any ideas why it's doing that? Is there any options i need to change. It's never done it before.

Also, when i start a new document and draw a new shape it merges it to the background layer instead of creating a new layer automatically which it used to do.

Photoshop :: How To Convert A Path Stroke In A Vector Shape

Oct 11, 2012

When you use the Photoshop CS6 new function stroke on the path of a vector shape, how can you convert the result in a vector shape ? Merging multiple vector shapes doesn't work. The strokes outlines are not vectorized in the new vector shape.
 
It's possible to convert in pixel and keep the stroke drawing, but no way to convert in vector. Illustrator has a similar function in order to vectorize the stroke.

Photoshop :: Convert Font / Shape From CS6 Into Clean Vector?

Sep 12, 2012

I try and try to get how vector points work... within Illustrator and within the pen tool in Photoshop and just cannot get to grips with it. So when i create a logo I tend to start my work in photoshop where generally i will end up with a font and a shape.
 
Now i understand the basics, such as not resizing the shapes / fonts if they are rasterized etc and generally keeping things crisp looking within photoshop but my problem comes when trying to turn my reletivly simple font and shape into a vector based image so that it can be scaled up and down
 
My logos look immaculate when viewed at 100% in photoshop, but as soon as i create a work path from the selection it never makes a crisp path, with all the correct curves and straight edges that i expect to see.
 
Up till now, i always assumed it was just the original fonts that i use and they just arent created completly smooth. But now my work path is really wonky. Whether i use a tolerence of 0.5 or not.. it just doesnt hug my lettering at all. The marching ants i see are even better placed than the work path.
 
Ps. I use CS6
