I have a square that I want to make into a circle, without distorting it. I want to create a circle using it as a stroke... I"m using CS2, can anyone help
I used the transform and the warp tool and got it into a circle, but there were points where it was pinched and it looked stupid.
I thought maybe there was a way to make a circle and use that "pattern" as a stroke for it, but so far I can't figure it out.
i tried making it a brush and needless to say...
We use that square to put around all of our letterhead and official station documents. I've created a CD-Rom media kit of our stuff and want to put it around the edge of the cd label, but unfortunately for me, cd's are round which is not condusive to the template I have....
I used the free select tool to free select an area of an image that is not a square (odd shape), how do I make that selection a perfect square if pasted to new image or new layer??? rectangular would be fine too...
How I can cut a circle from a square image so that the circle is cut from the exact middle of the square? I use the Elliptical Marquee Tool (M) and drag outwards from the approximate middle of the square (Holding Shift and ALT) but after doing so the transform buttons are greyed out.
So then, how can I position the "circle selection" to the exact center of the square? A few pixels out in any direction will not suffice. I'm using CS6.
Im trying to merge two shapes....a square and a circle. (see attached image)
Ive tried using Boolean options and the Attach command but although it links them it doesnt remove the interior geometry. Im sure this is the easiest question ever posted on this forum but I just cant figure it out.
Im trying to get one single shape that I can extrude.
I have a square selection that I'd like to map into a circle of equal size. I see apply lens and map object...sphere, but neither of these seem to do a proper job.
The algorithm I'm after would basically take the pixels of the square and map them onto their new locations within the circle so that each pixel moves inward toward the center until it reaches its appropriate location along the the line from the origin to its radius.
Why would my Layer Masks in Adobe Photoshop CS5 extended Now be a square with a round circle in middle and not rectangular & black or white like they were originally ?
I have illustrator CS3 - I am making badges and want to change a picture I already have from a square into a circle. I am taking the notebook with me on site and I am not sure if anything but illustrator can run on it. i.e I know I can do it in photoshop but am worried about the poor little bugger screaming blue murder!
So is this possible in Illustrator? I am open to suggestions for other apps that arent so memory hungry like word; gimp maybe?
I was wondering how I could duplicate the texture of this gear/star thing? I want to use the same texture for a square shaped frame. I already tryed messing with the bevel and emboss layer style but I didnt get a the matching result that I desired.
My next question is how do I make my own custom bevel and emboss layer style textures?
there are some points in my dwg that I can't move. I can rotate but not move. I noticed in the point file the ones that I can't move have a grey square in the cell with the point number and the ones I can move have an empty circle. How do I change the square to a circle?
I must have fat fingered something and I now when I click on the Eraser Tool or the Brush Mask Tool instead of getting a circle or square, I get and icon of the tool instead. They still work but they're harder to use without seeing the circle or square depending on what's selected. I've been using Corel for many years and never had this happen and I can't figure out how to switch back.
I recently got the newest photoshop, and I'm confused about paintbrush.in the other version it was always square, but now when I go above a size 3 brush it starts to look a bit like a squary flower. how do I make the brush just a plain square??
way to make a perfect symetrical square shape with rounded corners and curvy sides. I know it can be done with the pen tool, but my sides are never really symetrical.
I have a .gif image (actually an animated gif) that is currently square, but I've been desperately trying to destructively trim it to a perfect circle to use in a flash animation.
I don't want to use a mask or have the white corners showing where I've trimmed in in GraphicConverter as a circle, unless there a way to make the excess outside of the circle trim transparent, since the backgound image is complex (I cant simply collor the background outside a normal circular trip) and only has a circular "frame" to place this image.
I simply want to take an image (which has a complex logo in it and trim the resulting image to a perfect circle.
I would like to make a square with round corners with certain Radius. I use Rectangular Marque Tool with Feathering set to some value. The thing is that when I cut the shape from Layer I don't get a sharp corner but instead I have shaded corner.
I would like to create a layer with the selected image only. In other words just the outlined image with no square box container the image. These images will go into other publications and on line and I don't want to see the square white boxes with th eimage inside.
I want to use this pic for my phone wallpaper. I tried to enlarge it but the quality drops really bad. It needs to be 960x800. Is it possible to extend the top part of the picture to make it more "square" without cropping the width?
I have been issued the task of putting map grids on building plans. I have a number of building plans that I must put a square grid over, with 2 meter between grid lines according to plan scale.
im trying to skin a jukebox program and im using this button , i need to make it a rectangle with slight rounded corners if possible
Also when i save my image as png file on transparent background it saves with a white square around it and then when i put it into the juke software it shows up some bits of background , am i doing something wrong here?
I am trying to make a perfect circle that is the size of a CD.
I have made guides that are 5" x 5" wide (a little wider than an actual CD) and 5"x5" tall. When I try to create a circle shape or marquis inside of my lines, I can't. I have to make an oval in order to meet my guides.
I thought it was an issue with my units in my rulers. No dice. I tried creating a marquis fixed at 5"x5". No dice. Still an oval. Shouldn't 5"x5" be a perfect circle? A circle with a circumference of 5" would be the same all the way around, right? Or do I need to go back to geometry class?
I was using a tut on how to make a circle. I clicked file then new then I picked circle and went to drag it to do the circle and the icon was a hand. When I tried to use other shapes the same thing happened. I just bought Creative Suite 4 (Web Premium) and I'm using PS CS4 Extended.
I have been issued the task of putting map grids on building plans. I have a number of building plans that I must put a square grid on top, with 2 meter between grid lines according to plan scale.
Now with PSP it was very easy to take a screen shot and highlight a button or area on the image by drawing a hollow circle or oval and set the border color and width.
I am struggling to find the best way to achieve this in Photoshop?
