I have a layer of a music staff with wavy lines. I want to create a new text layer to go on the staff and curve exactly to the lines in the staff. I've tried curve, warp, distort...all of those, but I can't get it perfect. Is there any way to curve a layer exactly to another layer?
View 1 RepliesI used to take the color sampler and put a sample on my image. Then I created a curves layer. AND, by holding some combination of shift/ctrl/alt and clicking the color sample, the values would transfer to the red,green, and blue layers of my curves layer. From there I could make adjustments...
In CS4 I'm trying to do this, and I can't get it to work... It isn't the same as using the eyedroppers on the curve OR the hand above the eyedroppers. It actually copied the color sample values onto the individual color channels.....
How do I do this in CS4?
i have a question about cs3 , under xp i add a curve adjustament layer ,-> curve dialog (window) open -> well i can zoom with the mouse wheel but if i keep the space keyboard pressed , i can't use the hand tool when i click the space keyboard , it works like the [ok] button , in short if like i click on ok and close the window is there a tip to use the curve adjustament layer , zoom and use the hand tool
View 5 Replies View RelatedOn PS CS6 Extended 64 & 32 bit I noticed the gray scale ends of the curve in monochrome images is, to my mind, flipped. I understand some of the historic reasons for this, but I though I had found a preference somewhere or flipped the ends in previous versions. It has been a while. My most current version previously was CS2.
I'm also looking for, and will post separately, something akin to the Photo bars add on from Extensis. I still can't believe how backward the Adobe development team appear to be in terms of interface usability design. There are many multi-click patterns I use repeatedly and something like Photobars, even an add-on would be acceptable.
how to curve text within a shape, as paragraph text, not artistic text? (See my attached image.)
I have drawn the shape, inserted the text as paragraph text, but the text always wants to sit straight. I am so frustrated as I can find a workaround in either Corel or Adobe CS products. I have tried using artistic text in Corel, but have to do it line by line - and this brings other problems, such as I cant justify each line with each other, and sometimes a character jumps up relative to the other characters and the entire paragraph does not taper in...so this is not a solution, apart from the fact it will take me FOREVER to insert line by line....I would like to treat the text as a multiple line paragraph, and follow the shape.

I follow the tutorial in the Xara Help, but cannot get the results shown. I draw the circle, compose the text, and set it to the middle Select both circle and text Arrange/Fit Text to Curve....the text appears around the lower, right side of the cirle After all this I am unable to manipulate the text (It's a piece of cake to do this in Publisher 2010, but it has some minor problems in appearance)
If I wanted to have a picture of a book laying open::

how to curve text so that it looks like the one in the bottom of this picture?
i want to remake this image but i cannot figure out how to make the same curve of the words: MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
i have tried creating a Path with half of a similar oval and then used the Type on a Path tool and i have tried using the Pen to draw a Path but it looks aweful and of course i hae tried the Warped Text tool but the only option for what i need is the Arc Lower which doesn't give the result i need no matter how i adjust the tool.
I have PS cs (not cs2) and need to create a logo that follows the curve of a line....so it ends up looking like a half smile......i do not want to "warp" the text, but have it follow a curved line...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a type layer with some text in it (a headline, let's say). I click on the layer, I click on the Character Panel, and first thing I see is the color in the Panel is not the color of the font in the layer.
I then click on any Panel property, and the text in this layer is replaced by text from another layer in my document ( a paragraph layer, let's say), but the color is not the same as the layer the text came from.
how can i make text bent or curve in a circular fashion, in other words how do i place text around a basketball for instance and make the words looks perfectly in circular perspective.

View 5 Replies View Relatedtrying to copy txt from an outside text editor and pasting them into an open, editable text layer in my workspace. The problem is that I can COPY the text fine, but when I click over to PS to paste it into the open editable text layer it either pastes the previous text from my clipboard OR it won't paste anything at all. I can then go into any other text field on a browser, spreadsheet document, a different text editor, notepad, etc and successfully paste the proper batch of text I wanted to paste into PS. Sometimes I have some rather large files open 50+megs when I notice this happen. I have to save my work and close out entirely of PS and then open it again before I can begin editing my original document again and successfully paste the text into the open editable text layer. This may last for a few COPY/PASTE sessions of additional text in additional text layers, but then begins displaying the symptoms I described above.
I am on Win7 on an AlienWare M17XR3 laptop with 16G RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series display adapter.I assume it's either in my PS performance settings which I have PS using 10413MB RAM and has over 350G scratch disk space. If it's not that I guess my laptop system performance settings which I've never tinkered with since I purchased it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm drawing a steam locomotive builder's plate which is elliptical in shape (240x150mm) and I'm having trouble trying to get text to follow the profile of the ellipse. I've tried using Express>Arc-aligned text, but when I click on the curve the command line keeps telling me to select an arc. I've tried separating the upper half of the ellipse from the lower, but I still get the same "Select an arc" instruction. Here's a typical elliptical plate:

Is it possible to create text as in this plate?
I can't figure out how I can use a text or shape layer as a mask for the layer below. See the example attached and you will know what I mean. (I created the example with simply cutting out the text outline from the white box).
I need the text to be a mask and I need it to be editable as text. Don't know if this is possible, experimented with clipping masks but I cant make it work.
When we import a PDF into Draw, there will be a "Import PDF" pop-up asking whether we want to Import Text As - Text or Curve
Very often when I choose "Curves", it still prompts me for font substitution, while I expect whatever embedded fonts in the PDF will be converted to curve during import.
I wonder how this option is suppose to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have a friend who creates business cards and logo's with elipses and she's running into a problem. She has currently got the trial version of Illustrator CC and while she can create the elipses just fine, she can't seem to get the text to follow the curve.
She does have the right tool correct? Illustrator can do what she wants it to do correct? If so, is it an issue of usage ignorance or could it be that the trial simply doesn't have this feature?I recommended the Illustrator as the right tool but I want to make sure it will do what she's wanting to do.

i've been using xara pgd for a few months now and absolutely love it. massive jump up from my old program which was very limiting (graphic design is a hobby / business necessity, not my full time gig).
so my first question to you good peeps: i've been trying to "bend" text to follow a radius using 'fit to curve' ... this has been problematic as the text wants to align itself at the end of the curve rather than the middle.
is there another way to bend text to a specified radius?

My problem is when I reach and curve in the pipe (an elbow), the text string does not follow the curve. It remains straight for the remainder of the text. Is there a way (autocad 2013) to have the text follow the path of a curve?
edit: I saw one similar topic from 2008 in this thread: [URL] and the best response there is the one posted by eldon where you break the code down to each letter. Still, the picture in eldon's post makes the text a bit jagged. Have any changes been made to AutoCAD since this post that make this easier?
I have been working on a project in which I need to curve text. I know how to curve the text via creating a path, path to text, etc. This issue that I am having is that the bottom of the text is distorted. By distorted, I mean the bottom of the text becomes thin and it looks bad.
Here is an example of the issue that I am dealing with (if it shows up).
