Photoshop :: How Do I Move An Image And Its Path At The Same Time?
Aug 31, 2007
I've been using Photoshop since it first came out, and need to brush up on some things. I can't remember how to move an image and it's path to a new photoshop file at the same time.
there's nothing in that dropdown menu for you to select your source image/layer in the Move Path plugin.I am using an XCF (Gimp) file, with many layers. I selected a particular layer, then I opened the Move Path plugin.
In the example below, I would like to select the three dimensions 14'-1 3/8's, 2', 28' and be able to move them all up or down at the same time...how do I do that?
I've recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5.1 and I've encountered that the pen tool will only let me fill in one path at a time. Older versions of Photoshop would fill in all the paths at the same time so I don't see why the pen tool would be capable of doing that in a newer version.
I would really like to know if there is any way I can manage to to transform both a layer object and a path at the same time....or if there is any workaround to achieve this.
In a nutshell, say for example I spend a VERY long time creating an intricate path around a very detailed object, and then at the very end notice just how crooked and out of perspective it is, and would like to straighten it.
Of course I could transform and correct the object, and then carefully transform the path - but it just won't be exact, and I will have to spend a long time adjusting the path and making SURE it is perfect.
Isn't there any way I could get to transform them together?
Usually of course I do all the correction to straighten and correct perspective beforehand, but in some instances after I am done creating the path I then notice that the image could have used further adjustments.
So, I have a layer which I made a rounded rectangle and then used ctrl + alt + t to transform and set it to 30 degrees and used alt + drag on the transformation pivot point
then I used ctrl + alt + shift + t to duplicate the rounded rectangle around that point and then ... I relocated this layer above an other layer w/a circle on it and used ctrl + alt + g to create a clipping mask
Now ... is where I am stuck ...
I'm suppose to "split each path into a separate layer" .... um. what?
Okay, I realize that each of the rounded rectangles has its own path ... but how to go about putting each one on a separate layer and I cannot find it in the manual
is there a button you can press that will enable you to completely move your entire path when you are in the add anchor point mode? I know the move tool will do it, but I need a release button for it...
currently I'm working on a picture that consists of many other pictures and their layers. Now, if I want to cut edges of pictures with the same angle, it would be great to see the angle in the lasso mode. Sometimes this can also be handy when selecting rects.
edit: How can I move more than 1 layer at the same time?
edit: When saving/reopeneing the project, the pictures in the layers loose their original pixels, so I cannot resize them to their original width/height wihtout losing quality. What can I do about that? I.e. I think a picture needs to be bigger I have to delete it and reimport it?
I just want to draw some simple animations, and I was thinking of using the layers as frames, like with gif creation. I know you can use pageup and page down to quickly shift focus from one layer to the next, but is there a way to only have the current layer visible without having to mess with the visbility toggle for each layer?
The current time indicator won't move to end of comp in AE CS6. I setup a new comp at 10 seconds. When I drag the current time indicator OR hit the End key to bring the current time indicator to the end of the comp it stops at a value of 9:23. Is this a bug?
It's taking a long time to move cogo points. About 2 minutes for a single point move. Other commands affecting points are taking longer too. Would it just be a function of file size.
Sample point:
AECC_COGO_POINT Layer: "V-NODE-P-CURB-FACE" Space: Model space Handle = daf3e Primary point group : Pro Face Curb Point Number : 5198
How do i move a keyframe in time without changing any of its x,y,z parameters?
and Can i have different interpolations for individual keyframes on the same parameter? (so i can ramp a move into a keyframe, then continue out at a linear interpolation)?
I need to cut a part of one path and paste it as a part of another path. Is there a way in GIMP for doing this? Currenty, all what I can do is to select required anchors of the source path. Then, all I can do with this selection is moving it as a whole. The commands "Copy path" and "Paste path" ignore selection and work with entire path.
I have a roller pin which follows a certain path using transitional constrain in an assembly. A box is attached to the roller pin which move along with it. My problem is that I want one face of the box to be tangent to the path which the roller pin is following so that the box moves according when it is on the curve. I have attached the file with the message.
It would be nice if there was a way to import all the Move Path settings for a project from an Excel-type spread sheet. It would reduce the irksome data input errors that I seem to make all too often. Plus, you could use the power of the spreadsheet to calculate different points/frames.
All I am trying to do is move an anchor from one location to another using vbscript. I have searched everywhere and scoured the scripting references but I have not been able to figure this out as of yet.
I am able to select anchor points without an issue....moving those points seems to be a problem.
I readily admit that I have another thread open where I mention this issue. However, that thread mainly addresses another issue. The problem that I address, here, is holding up progress on the other and I believe it to be unique enough to warrant an independent thread.Here's what is going on:
-I am attempting to have text travel along a path. -I am using the proper procedure to save the background frame as _000001. and duplicating way more frames than I am using path points. -I am using the proper procedure to create my text letters in a separate source image.xcf file. -My RGB settings match up. -I am activating the background layer in _00001. -I am using the proper move path procedures and operator settings. -My From and To frame assignments are less than the number of frames. -Whenever I Refresh, or OK, the move path function, I get a Move Path Message stating the selected path points are different than the number of frames and I either need to adjust the number of path points I am using, or change the number of frames.
I have spent hours researching this. The only two issues I see mentioned are to make sure that the RGB's match up and that I am using the background layer of the _00001 file.I see that there was a patch for this condition on early versions of Gimp/Gap. I wonder if it could be reoccurring.
when i bring a image in and use zoom tool i lose pic and have to zoom a few more times to get image back is their away to keep the image from disappearing every time u use the zoom tool?
In CS6 Bridge it shows an image that has been first time imported and put thru raw and photoshop. that the process version is 6.7. Should that not read 7.1. Images taken on canon EOS 450D
Previous versions of PSE have displayed the date/time info for each image in the organiser. PSE 11 doesn't do this. Where I can change settings so that it does - this info is very usefu to me.
I opened the image I want to work on and the top of it is behind the top of the photoshop icon... if I click on the image, the top of the image (needed to move it down) disappears, if I click on the desktop, the image is there without photoshop. I can't move the image down to work on it, what do I do?
I have a small picture, and I'd like to copy it and paste it a few times, with each new copy following a rounded path. Basically, I want ti copy my image and place the copies in a semicircle formation. Another way of looking at it is I want 5 copies of the image in a line, but I want the line to be curved instead of straight.
