I'm in the process of creating a textual watermark for my photos in photoshop but have come across a big problem.
I am using the horizontaly text mask tool but I cannot rotate nor center (both horizontally and vertically) my text before turning it into a layer.
If I rotate and center the text after putting it into a new layer it wont work since the text will move and leave the writing embossed onto the picture.
Sometimes when I mask an image - or actually - mask a group of several complex images, when I release the mask it is impossible to ungroup the images. Is there a way to make masked groups but then not have that happen?
Whenever I've got an image and Im placing text on it, I try to drag it to the middle of my 100X30 Pixel blank image, but photoshop will either allow me to move it side to side, or the top of my text hugs the top of my image, or the bottom of my text has to hug the bottom of the image. I can't just put my text in the center of my 100X30 .
Is there some preset I need to turn off in order to move this text around freely and place wherever. I want to be able to have my text in the center and not have any of it touching any of the sides.
When you open a text box how do you center the text in the middle from top to bottom(vertically), not left to right. The text starts immediately in the top left corner. I need it in the center of a predefined text box size, so that if you drew a line across the center of the box from left to right, the top half of the letters would be above the line and the bottom half would be below the center line. In other words there should be the same distance above the words to the top edge of the text box, as to the bottom of the text box, from the center.
want to add text to a photo. I want to create a text box that has a masked background( I think it is?) Where the text is laid on a (color of choice) in the text box. Then then the Text is typed on that masked portion on the pic... I know how to do this in Photo scape, and Win7 photo editor, however I cannot find the tool to add white background behind my blue text...F1 unrolls every rabbit hole in Cs6 which one must know the exact phrase to find it.
When placing the text of a dimension, it is logical that you can place it anywhere you like. But shouldn't there be a way to choose "centered" or "home" right away, if you want the text centered? I know you can follow up with a second command to do this, but that just isn't efficient.
How do I center a piece of text generated with the 'Text' tool in the tools tab on Smac 2013 - I know how to centre it with the text pane, but how do I center the text within my entire frame ?
I'm trying to vertically center text in a cell (in a table of course). So far, I have tried Align and Distribute when the cell is active, using text selector. I have also tried selecting table tool and highlight a column, then trying Align and Distribute functions. Both are no-go.
So I just recently upgraded from LT2005 to LT2009 and am having trouble creating a Dynamic Block.
I am trying to create a 6-sided polygon with a text attribute of either 1 or 2 digit numbers to be used as a hex note. The problem I am having is getting the text to be centered within the polygon and the correct text height.
I am trying to align text in a row of my parts list vertically, but I can't seem to find an option to accomplish this. Please see the row for item #5 in the attached jpeg. The default behavior seems to be top justification.
I have found the ability to change left/center/right horizontal alignment in the 'format column' dialogue, but nothing for the vertical alignment. I have also tried changing the settings within the 'styles editor' by going to the parts list style I am using, then the text style that is specified for the data, and changing the justification for that text style to middle justification (see 2nd attachment), but it does not seem to effect the text within my parts list as I had desired.
I know this is located in other locations but I can't seem to make it work with my block.
I would like the cross and the text N to rotate independantly of the arrow while the N stays with the thick line. That's the easy part. How can I make the N move along the rotation path and keep the text aligned horizontally? I read something about linked action and move, but I can't make it work.
I know I can rotate text with the rotate command or from the properties palette, but if I'm editing text and the text formatting toolbar is displayed, why don't I have the ability to modify the rotation right there? How do I get it there? Can I customize this toolbar?
I would like to create a number wheel with the numbers at 90deg to the circle but I cannot find any way to achieve this and it seems like something that should be doable within the text to curves feature.
Here is an example of what i would like to achieve.
I was given a disc with 75 pictures on it to deal with. The images are scans of old photos, and many of them are scans of a whole page from an album. There is handwriting on many of the photos/pages that I want to keep intact.
My big problem is this: Many of the photos/album pages were scanned in a way that makes it neccesery for me to rotate/flip them into proper position. When I rotate them, the handwriting comes out backward/mirrored.
I kind of recall running into this before on an unimportant somethingorother I was working on, but since it wasn't important I left it be.
I would like to cut out a perfect circle on a digital picture and rotate text around the circle. I have not been able to find a clean way of doing this.
I'll start by saying that I'm using Civil 3D 2012...I've made a custom line type and am having issues with it. Basically, I'm trying to get the text (Green line with 4's) to flip around from it's current orientation, see attachment. I have already tried the REVERSE and MIRROR commands, with no success.
what i have is a section cut that my Mechanical guys use. What i am trying to do is create a dynamic block using the rotate parameter.
Currently i have two rotate parameters. One to rotate the section cut lines around one bit of text. The second parameter is to rotate another bit of text, but this is also selected in the first parameter.
It is almost working... with the exception that when i use the main rotate grip everything rotates around the text i want it to, but the second bit of text rotates 180° the opposite direction.
I am working on creating a dynamic block library and am having several problems with text within my blocks. For example... I am working on a North Arrow block and would like the text to rotate with my block, but I want the text to remain right-side up. When I rotate the arrow past 180 degrees the text is upsidedown.
Im using AC 2008 LT Im developing dynimc blocks. When rotating the block the text will rotate as well. Is there any way to align the text to the view so it will be always straight when rotating?
I'm using Civil 3d 2013. When i go to edit my text, it rotates, making it impossible to read or edit. How can I stop it from rotating. I am editing the text through a rotated (DVIEW) viewport. When I try to switch to mtexted ---> oldeditor, I get the message
"The text contains new formatting and cannot be edited by your current MText editor."

I followed the tutorial linked below to successfully create cartoon text.
My Macbook was then updated to Lion and I checked I had the latest version of GIMP and have been trying all morning to create some more text in the same manner.
However no matter what I do when I select the layer that contains the single letter and I try to rotate it nothing happens?
If I do Alpha to Selection the selection rotates but then I cant do anything with it, stoke fill etc?
To clarify this is what I do:
Create a word select a letter in the word ctrl-x ctrl-v select new layer name the new layer to match the letter just cut and pasted ensure that layer is selected choose rotate tool ....no rotation takes place?
I have attached a basic PTZ block and what I want it to do is when I rotate the block past a certain point +/-90 degrees the text rotate within the rectangle so it's never upside down.
Can I get any direction on what route I need to take to get this done?
I need to create a text with a rectangle background and a coloured border around this rectangle. Here is what I do:
- I create a text - I select the text and add a fill and a stroke that I then transform into a rectangle - I now have my "label" as I want it to be but now I need to rotate it.
Problem is I can rotate the text but fill and stroke don't follow, they remain horizontal and just adapt so that it still fits the text. As a result I have a rotated font with a big rectangle box. Can I rotate fill+stroke with the text?
Ive got a problem with a drawing from a client and the text is in multi-line format and is currently at the correct angle, however, when I go to edit the text is rotate's it's self round 270 deg....
