Photoshop :: Limit Amount Of Paths Can Create And Add Text
Jul 24, 2012
I have a few different problems with the pen tool.
1. When using the pen tool I keep finding that the shape I'm doing is slightly overlapping where I've already gone with the pen tool.If I try and go over that area again the path I've just drawn then jumps and ruins the shape I was creating.
How can I stop this from happening?
2. Also is there a limit to the amount of paths you can create and add text to? I created two paths and typed on them fine but when I added a third path it refused to type. The cursor didn't change to show I could type and if I did click on the path line and try to type jumped to my other path and typed there. All paths were on different layers and none were overlapping, but it is 3 circles inside each other that get smaller if this makes a difference.
How can I type on the third path?
3. When I have done a path and clicked stroke it is only a thin line. How can I make this line thicker?

With the Artboards feature now available, should i still use InDesign to create a layout for a simple children's picture book with a small amount of text per page? It would be much easier for me to stay in Illustrator. My plan is to create a a pfd book and an ebook for sure - and possibly, later a printed book. I'm completely stumped about how to make the right choice. BTW - I don't plan to produce the ebooks via InDesign but through a simple iPad App that just allows you to lay in a picture and put the text over it.I'm using CS4.

So apparently:
Create a path snapped to pixel.
Disable align to pixel on all paths.
Select the entire path and create a new symbol with align to pixel disabled OR (it makes no difference) create a new symbol from a temporary path and then paste in place. Everything looks good. Paths are aligned to pixel.
Exit isolation symbol mode.
Go back into isolation mode.
All your paths are offset by miniscule amounts causing them to bleed into each other. You can't realign your paths with snap to pixel because snap to pixel doesn't work for a set of paths because it snaps to a random path or something.
Or you can enable align to pixel and have the copy paste completely mess up your paths.
Why would you expand paths that are snapped to pixel by a miniscule amount on a paste?
Is this fixed in CS6?

I want to join two paths to create a shape that I can fill but at the same time retain one of the original paths (the red one in the image below). I can copy the path I want to retain but surely there is a more elegant solution. See below for for an illustration:

Using Autocad_2k10 and ScriptPro
Trying to write a srcipt to copy/paste a certain amount of text in these coordinates (ie.: 1.8520, 13.1085, 0.0000) in 100+ drawings to a file (ie.: 123.txt or 123.xls)
I'm stuck on the "paste to file", is this possible?
I'm using ScriptPro cause of the batch process.

When exporting from lightroom this message came up: Could not create a JPEG that met your limit of 500K bytes. (1) I have tried making the size smaller, but nothing seems to work. I have never seen this message before.

I have been trying to wrap the text "Victory" around the cigar band using a path and then playing around with the free transform, but nothing looks realistic.

There is probably a simple fix for this, but I can't seem to figure it out. So I created a circular path, and over the top I wrote "Satisfaction" now under the bottom I want it to read "Guaranteed" .... but the text will not hang from the path and read from left to right...it will only write upside down from right to left, or you can flip it so that it's inside the circle reading from left to right...but i want the top of the text to align with the outside of the circular path.

I typed the word "Ethos" and wanted to extend the bottom of the 't' to run along the underside of the word. To do this I created a new work path. I then manipulated the 't' to get it to the shape I wanted... what I'm struggling with now is how to apply this change in shape to the text.
At the moment I have my text that says Ethos, and I have my path that says Ethos but with the extended 't'. How do I apply the change in shape to the 't' to the actual text?

I have a layer with some paths and lines of text. I copied some of the paths and text and tried to paste in another layer or document; the paths are not pasted and all the text becomes a single line. When I copied only the paths, it is pasted correctly. If I copied only the text and tried to paste in another layer or document, all the text becomes a single line.
If I drag the selection from one layer to another using the panel, it works. If I drag the selection from the artboard to another document, it works. But these operations sometimes are not convenient. What I would like is to copy the items, target a layer in another document and paste there. With a large document with dozens of layers and a lot of text the drag and drop solution is not feasible.

I've worked out how to use paths, so I can make text appear along a curve which is great. My problem is that I have a logo and I want text curving around the top of it, and then some text curving around the bottom (curving upwards). There is more text on the top curve so it fills the entire path, but the text at the bottom is shorter and so it doesn't reach the end, it justifies to the left of the path. How do I position it so that it aligned to the centre of the path (it doesn't necessarily have to take up the entire length of the path, I just want it to be central to the logo above it.

Fairly new to gimp, using Mac 2.8 version. Problem is I have created multiple paths of text but none of them export (I have tried jpeg, gif, tif). They save to the gimp format but even when I try to print directly from gimp the text paths do not show up.

I don't know if this is possible at all in Illustrator, but I want to align objects to text paths. Look at the following example.
I start with something like a circular hierarchy, that I get as an output from another program. These are only lines and text. Now I want to add a flag behind the text. This flag should have the same orientation as the text path.
As this hierarchy is actually pretty big (this is only a snippet), I don't want to rotate all the flags manually. I tried to do it manually with the below example, but it still doesn't looks right...
Is this a proper method to rotate the flags according to the orientation of the text paths in Illustrator?

I'm using AI CS6, opened it up today and all the text boxes are behaving like paths. I can only resize them using the direct select tool. I don't know what happened, I've checked type preferences, nothing there seems to be odd.
I would attach a screenshot, but the "Insert Image" button brings up a white box that tells me the "Operation timed out." Not my day for software.
Basically, once I create a text box, I lose the ability to resize it unless I manipulate one corner at a time with the direct selection tool.

Is it possible to lock text when it is on a path? I'm fine with locking both the text and the path, but it seems it isn't possible. Not to lock just the text or both the text and path. The option is greyed out. What purpose would not being able to lock an object serve?

I'm having issues with threaded text. I've created my desired paths for threaded text, essentially a rainbow, that aligns with my package design. When I create threaded text it behaves wierdly. The following occurs:
1) creating threaded text with my rainbow paths, it creates the paths upside down. I've figured out how to rememdy this with the path options, but wish it didn't default to upside down.
2) My path layers for each row are in decending order, i.e. - would like text to cascade top to bottom; however, when I start typing, it uses the bottom line first causing my paragraph to read from bottom to top. This is incredibly frustrating!

How do I give Lucida handwriting a 2pt outline stroke, give it an outline path, then unite it with another shape path without the text losing it's outline stroke?? I can't bold Lucida handwriting as it only has an italic option, so need to give it an outline stroke to achieve a bold letter. As soon as I give it an outline path and unite it to other shape paths the 'bold'ness disappears and it reverts to it's original size.

I have some negative space I created(black area, see first image) that I want to fill with type, not just a simple fill.
Basically I want to create the negative space from a bunch of small minus signs(-) that need to line up as they go across. If I type on each path one at a time as the text doesn't line up that way. This needs to be one continuous path. (see second image)
Unfortunately if I add them together, it creates a compound path, which you cannot type on, unless I am mistaken? So I need them to be a path, not a compound object.

Been combing over the interent to try to figure out how to (in CS6 PS) get multiple gif to load onto the same static image that have different amount of frames, thus far I have my two gifs (on opposite sides) on the image and a short title video in the center but it starts with all three images and then runs the two gif until the the first (8 frames) runs out then the remainder of the second runs out at 13 frames and lastly the rest of the video plays each frame.
My goal is to get the video to just play naturally in the center and each gif on the sides to play on a loop as I want the entire image to be a banner for a website.
Win7 64 bit
CS6 photoshop
Gif1 = 8 frames/layers
Gif2 = 13 frames/layers
video = 96 frames/layers (also it is set at a very low resolution and is just a title with a second title transitioning in)

I am using the histogram function in PS CS4 for Windows. I am using the magic wand tool to choose numerous "green" elements (for example). As I choose more and more elements, the pixel amount goes up in the histogram table. For some weird reason, when I choose enough elements to hit around 50000 pixels, the amount reverts to 12000 and goes to "cache level 2". I need to be able to have a total of all my elements for the project I'm working on. Is this a memory issue? How can I increase the cache?

I bought Photoshop CS3 and have a photography studio. I have 4 computers to do my editing on and when I tried to dowload the program to the last computer it says that I have reached my maximum amount of downloads or something like that. It won't let me register it and it tells me that I have to de-activate one of them to register the last computer. Am I going ot have to go out and actually purchase yet another copy of PS CS3 to have it on that other computer? Is there a discounted price or do I actually have to pay full price to add it to one more computer?
