Photoshop :: Pen Tool Path Color
Mar 21, 2012Although I think the pen tool could be an excellent way of making selections, I find that in many situations the path color hardly shows against a midtone or gray area I want to select.
Furthermore I find the tangent line makes things worse since it's the same color as the path (gray) and can easily obscure the selection I attempt to make.
Is it really not possible to change the path color when using the pen tool?
Illustrator :: Created Text On Curved Path Using Pen Tool And Type On Path Tool
Feb 13, 2014I created text on a curved path using the pen tool and the the type on a path tool. However, there are portions of the text that I want to taper. For example, my text begins horizontally, continues to the right, and gradually curves downward. As the text curves downward I would like it to taper smoothly into a narrower and narrower text.

Sep 15, 2005I've had a problem with the pen tool for a while now...
On the odd occasion when I am creating a new path, it inverts itself, i.e. when I select it I get the opposite of what I have masked, (also the Path icon background will switch from grey to white indicating the path has reversed).
I've had this problem in version 7/CS1 and CS2, my normal fix is to ditch the prefs and I get the tool back the way it should be but this is proving a pain.
I thought it could be a keyboard shortcut that I was hitting by mistake but I can't seem to find any reference to a short cut for this. (Searched online and Ninness book Power Shortcuts.)
Photoshop :: Path Tool?
Dec 5, 2002Every time I path something and then try to mark and fill in any kind color I get a blur around the marked area.

It´s this Im trying to explain, I get this fuzzu marked area around when Im trying to fill in the color on the path that I have selected and marked.
Photoshop :: Pen Tool / Path
Oct 12, 2004I have been reading about the Pen Tool and according to what I am reading (off various websites) here is what I am supposed to do...
1. Open a new workspace
2. Click the Pen Tool
3. Make a path using 4 or so anchor points
4. Select the Brush tool
5. Click on the Paths tab (on the right where the layers are)
6. Double-click on the path to save it.
7. Then right-click on the path and choose STROKE PATH.
The only problem is that my STROKE PATH is DISABLED.

Photoshop :: Smooth Path Tool
Feb 27, 2013In the past I have traced the outline of an image using the pen tool by placing as many points along the contour or outline as possible. Once I closed the path the appearance was not perfectly smooth.
I remember using a tool after that to smooth the path that would eliminate any uneven or jagged edges and make the curves really smooth. How to do this in CS6?

Sep 28, 2004when I create stiching look, such as this ---------, I've created a line and ereased the middle part.

Photoshop :: The Path-tool Keeps Filling
Jul 13, 2005It's probably very easy, but I still can't figure it out. When I use the path-tool (Photoshop CS2), I keep getting a filled spline. But I'd rather just have an empty one instead, maybe even with a different brush? Is this possible without switching to Illustrator?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Type Tool - Text On A Path
Mar 6, 2012I created a path with the type tool, selected the path in the Paths panel, I started typing on the path and the type followed the path, though I chose edit > free transform path and scaled it, though the text did not move with the new path and now it is no longer on the path?
1. Why did the text not stay on the path as I transformed it?
2. How do you hide the path so you do not have to see it? I want it there only as a guide for my text to flow across.
Photoshop :: Pen Tool Can Only Fill In One Path At A Time
May 14, 2013I'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. Â

Photoshop :: CS6 Direct Selection Tool Without Altering Path
Jun 12, 2012Prior to Photoshop CS6, a curve on a path could be moved using the Direct Selection Tool without altering the path beyond the two enclosing points. If you manipulated the curve, only the inside handles of the two points (that create the curve) would change - and only in length - as shown below:
Unfortunately, in Photoshop CS6, if you manipulate the path curve with the Direct Selection Tool, the handles both sides of the points move freely - affecting the path beyond those points:
- is there a way to revert to the prior behaviour? The Photoshop CS6 behaviour may seem more intuitive (or something), but it's less precise and alter parts of the path that are fine already.

View 4 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: CS6 Pen Tool - Clicking And Dragging On Existing Path Should Not Change
May 2, 2012CS6 Pen tool, clicking and dragging on an existing path should not change the angle on the adjacent radius handles. It should only dynamically adjust the length of the existing radius handles, based on which direction you drag. It should only affect that one segment and not affect the bordering angles. I've been pathing with Adobe products for 25 years and this should not change now. I want to be able to fine tune ONE line segment without affecting its neighboring segments. The "new" behavior should only occur with a modifier. If the Mothership deems this is the only way to do this moving forward, at LEAST give your long-standing customers a modifier, such as the shift key to enable us to keep working as we have been for decades.

Photoshop :: Disable Double-Click Isolation With Path Selection Tool
Jun 24, 2013When working with Paths in photoshop, I have developed a work flow that revolves around adding anchor points to an existing path and repositioning the added anchor point with the Direct Selection Tool.
The Issue I am having is whenever I create an anchor point and attempt to move it too quickly, that it instead enters isolation mode and the point is not moved. The result either having to greatly reduce the speed at which I work or repeat the movement several times until it works.

Photoshop :: Pen Tool - Filled Path / Layer And Transform But Does Not Give Enough Adjustment?
Mar 23, 2012The Pen Tool is my favorite / go to selection tool. But can it do the following...I've made a path and converted it to a selection, then filled the area with a color or texture (on it's own layer).
Now I find that I need to adjust (fine tune) the shape I've created / filled with color or texture to better fit how / where it's being used. Is is possible to invoke the path handles and get it to adjust the filled area as you move / adjust the path. (This is not a shape, not using the shape tool.)
I can select the filled path / layer and free transform but that does not give me a fine enough adjustment.Puppet Warp doesn't really fit the bill eitherA good example of what I want to achieve is similar to when you put type on a path. When you adjust the path the type moves to conform to the changes in the path. I want to do the same thing with the area I filled using the path.
