Photoshop :: Text Within Hollow Selection Path

Aug 13, 2011

i just would like to write inside a hollow selection (or path).to make the issue unambiguous in order to eliminate useless answers, enclosed more details.

i make a square selection using the marquee tool, then i subtract from the selection a small square within the first selection (i.e., the small square does not intersect the edges of the bigger square). this gives me a square doughnut.from the selection i make a new path. using the text tool, i would like to write (have text) within the selected area (i.e. on the doughnut itself).

apparently, it is applicable to write within a long a path, or within a (not hollow) polygon.

Photoshop :: Work Path Of Hollow Characters?

Jun 10, 2012

How do I make a work path of a character that consists of a loop (letters O, O, and P in LOOP for example) so that i get the inner and outer walls of a character, take O for example, instead of a solid O?
 
O (the black area of the O should be filled with smaller text, if it were a work path) When I create a work path of the letter O, it outlines both the inner and outer lines of the letter, but once the work path is created, all I get is a giant SOLID circle, not a work path that has inner and outer walls of the letter O.

Photoshop :: Hollow Text

Aug 13, 2008

I'm completely new to Photoshop and am having a lot of trouble just figuring out how to do simple things. It's been frustrating, to say the least.

All I want to do is make hollow text over a transparent background so I can place the text over any color and I'll have the hollow text show.

So if I have some text, I just want it to be hollow and have the center be whatever the color of the background is. Maybe this isn't as easy as I thought, but I know I can make the background layer transparent of a new project... if I add some text and make it hollow, won't it adapt to the background color?

Photoshop :: Working With Hollow Or Outline Text

Oct 30, 2008

I'm working with a font that has hollow sections that I'd like to fill with a solid white. More specifically, say I had an "O". It's in outline so there is the outer black circle and the inner black circle. I'd like to fill the empty letter space with white, while leaving the center of the "o" transparent. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Photoshop :: Path-within-path - How To Turn Into Selection

Having made a (ex circular) closed path within a (ex square) path, I want to turn this into a selection in which the inner circle is omitted from the selection.  But when choosing "Make Selection", only the first option,"New Selection" is available, the other three are grey (Add to, Subtract from and Intersect).

Illustrator :: Block Text To Path -> Text Flow Along Resulting Path

Nov 5, 2013

I'm trying to create an effect of small text following the outline of very large bold block text (see picture).  The idea I had was to first create the 'ME' in very large font as text.  Then convert that text to an object / path using "Object -> Flatten Transparency... -> "Convert all text to outline"".  Then, select that path and use the "Type along path" tool. 

However, when I use that process, the resulting path is a compound path that therefore the Type Along Path tool doesn't work.  Any pointers on how to achieve this?  The image below I just used the pencil to trace the letters (quick and dirty) but the result is choppy, etc.

GIMP :: Text Along Path Not Placing Text At Beginning Of Path

May 17, 2012

I'm trying to place text to a "curvy" path. I took some screen shots to show you want I'm talking about.

I created a simple curvy path 1 point on each end. (I noticed I drew in a node in the middle of the curve as well. But that actually doesn't exist in the path. I created the text a reasonable size and clicked "Text Along Path". As you can see, it never starts at the beginning of the path. Ever. I have sized the font up, and it gets a little closer to the beginning, but obviously the end of the address flies off the path. I've sized down the text and it will start even further to the middle of the path.

GIMP :: Text Along Path And Aligning Center Of Text With Path?

May 23, 2013

I have no problem getting my text along a path but I am having trouble getting the text and the path to align so that the center of the text element is centered on the path.

Is this possible or do I have to figure out someway to make my path of a certain length so it ends up that the text fits to it perfectly??

Here is a screenshot of my current problem. You can see that the text and the image below it are centered. I then placed some guide lines to make sure my path was also centered. When I placed that text along the path though, it left justified the text when I want it to be centered instead..

Photoshop :: Load Path As Selection

Apr 19, 2009

I completed my path and clicked Load Path as a Selection. I have 2 cut out areas (holes) in the path, and the selection process did not include the holes, even though the path shows them. I had the button pressed "exclude overlapping path areas" when I made the path. How do I get the path to select the outline, minus the "holes"? Kind of like a coffee cup profile with the hole in the handle excluded to show just the outline of the cup.

Photoshop :: Converting An Open Path To A Selection

way to convert an open path to a selection that is just around the path? When I try to convert it to a selection it basically closes the path and then selects everything inside it. I am looking to select everything within a certain number of pixels of the path so I get a selection that looks like a line, not a big blob.

Photoshop :: Bizarre Result Of Path Selection

Jun 13, 2006

I cut with the pen tool. The path was not complicated and had many straight edges to follow, so I didn't have to click many points. After I completed and closed the path, I sel the icon, load path as selection and then the path became this bizarre zig zag, almost electric marching ants effect. Then I deselected and there were like hundreds of anchor points at every centimeter or so. The edges of the selected area however were normal and smooth.

Photoshop :: Path Selection - Leaving Blank Holes

Mar 8, 2012

I'm missing a very important feature since I switched from CS4 to CS 5.5: In Photoshop CS4, when you created a path in another and selected the path, the inner path was left blank (Creating an "o" and selecting it got you the selection in shape of an o).

Now, as I'm using CS5.5, Photoshop totally ignores those inner paths and makes one big selection (example: [URL] ....]. I have to put big industrial machines on transparent background, and now I have to create dozens of paths for every little hole and then must put them together manually, which takes a lot of time.

Photoshop :: CS6 Direct Selection Tool Without Altering Path

Jun 12, 2012

Prior 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.

Illustrator :: Convert Text Path Back Into Line Path In CS 5?

Jan 9, 2013

I've tried every permutation of copy and paste; I renamed the path to path. It looks like a path when I add stroke, but it does not behave like one.  I can't cut it or join it to any other path. It remembers it's text path status. I'm running OS X 10.7.5.

Illustrator :: Convert Text Path Back To Regular Path?

Mar 20, 2014

I accidentally converted a path to a text path. I searched the forum for how to convert it back to a regular path. The answer I found said to select the path and hit Command+C+F. This gives me another text path! I now have at least 6 copies of the path in my files but they are ALL text paths and none are visible with a stroke.

Photoshop :: Dragging With Path Or Direct Selection Too Leaves Outline

Feb 9, 2013

I'm experiencing this incredibly annoying behavior in PS over the past 10 days. Dragging with a selection tool (or shape tools) used apply a thin dotted outline only when the mouse was depressed—very useful for knowing what area would be selected. Now I don't see that outline until I release the mouse button (or stylus) at which point the outline persists (see attached screenshot). The behavior is sometimes corrected with a restart, other times not.
 
I'm on a macbook pro 2.4GHz with 16GB of RAM running 10.8.2 and CS6 13.1.2 x64 Extended.

Photoshop :: In/decrease Points Used When Making Work Path From Selection

Aug 22, 2007

I'm sure you know you can convert a photoshop path in to a direct selection, but did you know you can convert a selection into or back into a path?

It's as simple as making a selection via a lasso tool, marquee box or magic wand, open the path window from windows and press the "make work path from selection" button on the tool bar. It is as easy as that. However the toolbar button defautls to a tolerance of 2 pixels which can give you a loose fitting path in places.

GIMP :: Text Along Path Function Hovers Too Far Above Path?

Why the "Text along path" feature hovers the text so far above the currently active path? (in my case, the space between the path and the text is about 3 times the height of the currently used font!). I've been told that the letters should lie on top of or at least closer to the path instead. How can I move the text closer to the path?

Photoshop :: Disable Double-Click Isolation With Path Selection Tool

Jun 24, 2013

When 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.
 
Is there a way to disable this feature?
