Photoshop :: Pen/Paths

Jul 1, 2003

Can you convert a path into a line? Like I've got a line drawn with the pen, is there anyway I can just convert that into an actual line?

Illustrator :: Joining Paths To Create Shape While Retaining Original Paths?

Feb 23, 2014

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:

Photoshop :: CS Paths

Jul 22, 2004

Since upgrading to Photoshop CS, if I try to make a selection from a complex path, only the outer perimeter of the path selects. Any interior "holes" are ignored. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just something new that I've missed. I've been working with photoshop paths for as long as they've existed, but this has me utterly baffled.

Photoshop :: How To Use Paths

Aug 14, 2009

CS4- I see my beautiful path on the path layer, and as a newbie what I think I want to do is to use it on a shape layer. How do I do that? Do I have to save it as a custom shape first?

Photoshop :: Paths Not Following On PNG Files

Aug 31, 2012

We are finding that paths are not following when saving a PSD as a PNG file. We have tried with and without compression, interlaced and not. This was not an issue on CS5, but seems to be on CS6.

How to fix it without reverting to workflow on CS5 or pulling over the paths from the PSD after creating the PNG by hand?

Photoshop :: CS5 - Can't Transform Paths

I've recently started using Photoshop CS5. For some reason when I select a path and hit command T to transform it, it doesn't work. The transform ignores that I have the path selected and trys to transform whichever layer is active.

Photoshop :: Clipping Paths

Aug 22, 2005

I am trying to create a logo that incorporates a circle and a picture of a dog.

Now I want to acheive a look where the dogs legs are hanging over one part of the circle but the circle is covering the rest of his body as though he had put his head througha hole in the wall.

I have been trying to acheive this with clipping paths but I can't see how to recreate the smooth lines of the original circle.

Photoshop :: Paths And Channels

Dec 23, 2002

In some tutorials they make selections and store them into a channel. In others they use the pen tool and store the selection as a path.

Are these two ways or doing the same thing or they have different uses?

What are the pros and cons of each one?

Photoshop :: Paths Not Working!

Mar 8, 2009

Basically, I open photoshop, and I select the pen tool. I then make a small shape, like a square or circle or something with it. So now obviously, I have a closed work path in such a shape.

Black is my foreground colour. I right click the path with the pen tool still selected, and choose 'Fill Path' and click ok. But for some reason, it's everything but the path that gets filled with black!

how I did this, but does anyone know how to change it so that it's the area that's boxed off which gets filled, rather than the area outside it?

Photoshop :: How To Trim Paths?

Nov 10, 2005

The thing is this: I have some paths (shapes) that I want to combine into one path and trim all the excess path lines. I can put the paths into the same path-layer by just copying/pasting that works fine, but the paths are still NOT really combined.

I have made an example to illustrate my point, please have a look at that.

1) I've created paths 1 and 2

2) I combined them into another path-layer

3) Thought the thing I need is anchor points at the intersection so I added those

4) When I delete the anchor points whithin the combined shape, the whole shape distorts and it shows that it really is not a combined path but just two separate paths in the same layer! I can't seem to trim the red marked lines off the path.

My question basically is how to remove the red marked part of those paths and combine them into a 'really-one-path' shape that follows the outline of the combined shape?
I have tried to create an outline path by turning the combined path into a selection and then create a path from that selection, that doesn't produce a nice smooth path when the shape is more complex...

Photoshop :: Curved Paths

May 13, 2006

I am working my way through both Martin Evenings "PSCS for Photographers" and Barbara Obermeiers "PSCS for Dummies" (thats me I think) and I'm really struggling to understand curved paths.Does anyone know of a site that explains them in very basic terms i.e. kids stuff?.

As I understand it when I drag from a straight segment to create a new path for a curve and release the mouse and I should get an anchor point and one direction line and one direction point,but all I seem to get is what appears to be a tiny plus sign at the end of the line.

Photoshop :: Visibility Of Paths

Mar 7, 2009

I'm using the Pen Tool to draw several paths; I need to draw each path with reference to the other, previously drawn, paths. This is where I encountered a problem with Photoshop CS3: whenever I create a new path, the old ones become invisible, and I can only see one path at a time - the one that's selected in the Paths panel.

Is there any way to control the visibility of the different existing paths (as you can, for example, with layers) and to make several (unstroked) paths be visible simultaneously?

I am taking stills from an animation of a land based radar setup for monitoring sea ice. In photoshop, I use the path tool to delineate the edge of the landfast ice, and I want to save the line only with the pixel coordinates, so I can put that line on any image from the animations and it will be in the same place.

Photoshop :: Clipping Paths?

Jan 10, 2006

What does someone want when they say "send me some images at 300 DPI with clipping paths" ?

I get the resolution, I'll make them 300 PPI...but what is a clipping path? Does that just mean that they want them cropped? They have not specified a size or aspect ratio.

Photoshop :: Question On Paths

Jan 31, 2009

even though I will mostly be taking a break from hobbyist graphic design (I'll actually be taking a course on it so I wont be away from it completely), one of the games I play is running a contest that involves graphic work. I decided to do it and am stumbling into a problem that I've had before but never asked about:

Is there a way for me to add on to an existing path with the pen tool and build from there IF the path is closed?

Photoshop :: Exporting Paths In CS4

May 7, 2009

My artists open hundreds of images a day and create paths on that image then export the path to an illustrator file for use with a laser system.  In all previous versions of photoshop when you export a path to illustrator in photoshop it would default back to the folder that you opened the image from.  CS4 does not. It just tries to save it in the last folder you saved something in.  Is this a bug or something that was left out of CS4?  I would be upgrading 20 machines to CS4 but this is an absoulute deal killer having to waste time on every image to navigate back out onto the server to find where the original image is located.  Â Â Â Â

Photoshop :: Compound Paths In CS

Dec 19, 2005

I'm clipping out a bike wheel in photoshop with path. So after 1 hour of painstaking clipping, I have a nice compound path, a large circle path with about 20 smaller closed paths to take out each spoke. Alll paths are on one path layer. In previous Photoshop versions, I can control click(PC) this path to load a compound selection which will let me to mask out the background. But in CS, after I control click(PC), it only loads the outer circular path but not the entire compound paths.
