I am using a layer mask to hide/all on a another gradient/pattern. I can use the gradient tools and preset okay to achieve an effect of it blending out horizontal or spherically etc.. (depending on which preset) is set. However I want to blend on my path which is custom made.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn previous versions of Photoshop if you had a selection you could hit the delete key and the selection would be filled with transparency. When I do that in PS CS6 it brings up the fill dialogue box and I don't see any transparency fill options. How to do this in CS6?

the hair of the woman is curly and I want to maintain that. The image
will eventiually end up in InDesign.
I have been trying to extract the woman via MaskPro with not a lot of luck. Perhaps there is an alternate method.
The woman with wispy locks of hair then will go into InDesign with a gradient background
It is important to maintain the wispy locks of hair of woman so it looks realistic.
I am unable to solve my problem with exporting an object (curve) with 2-colors fill (with transparency) to WMF, PNG or AI. I spent quite a long time already to figure out how to make transparent fill and when I finally succeeded, I cannot export that and work with it
I would like to transform the curve with transparent fill to just curves somehow... than it should be no problem with exporting. Or transform it to some other vector object - it does not matter - just to be able to use it and export it as vector object.

I would like to know if it is possible to turn a solid fill area into a transparent appearance.
This is in a 2D drawing.
How to convert path Stroke to fill?
e.g. : if stroke thickness is 5pt, now i want to convert stroke to fill.
I'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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using old Photoshop 7 because honestly, it has always filled every minor need of mine. Normally, I'm not doing much more than creating simple display placards, but this new project has me stumped. I am creating a simple layout for a device that will be silkscreened. The screen will be exposed using what I am creating in PS7, printed on a transparency.
The problem I am running into is with the text dithering. I found a tutorial that explained selecting the layer, then using Layer>Type>Create Work Path to generate a path around all of the text on the layer. I am now attempting to fill this path with solid black. When I select the path in the palette, the dot to fill the path is grayed out. I found an app note that stated when text is active, this is not an option. I tried disabling the text layer, but it didn't work.
i cant resize my pen tool path and fill shape at the same time, it just changes the size of the path and leaves the fill separate and unchanged.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI draw a shape with the paths option using the shape tool,
ive selected and highlighted a visible normal layer at full opacity in normal blend mode.
right click the path and choose fill path... I have a colour selected already,
nothing happens...?
When i use the pen tool to make a shape and then select fill path, i choose a colour to fill the path with, but it fills the whole page accept the shape. Is there a setting that needs turning off or anything like that!?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to make an object or group transparent towards its borders.
In particular, I drew a red heart and gave it a yellow contour with 20 steps, imitating a gradient. So the heart looks like it has a gradient (from red to yellow) towards its border.
Now I need this heart to also be transparent towards the border. The transparency should begin somewhere in the red part and slowly mask everything and it should end just before the outer border, which should be completely transparent.
The radial transparency tool does not produce good results, because the heart borders are not uniformly transparent. I need a mask exactly of the heart shape.

Is there a way to make transparency on custom brushes? I had an idea to make custom brush sets similar to those used in photoshop. I know in Photoshop, Custom Brushes are done with opacity maps With white being transparent and black being full color and all the greys in between being different levels of transparent. I've tried doing that with custom brushes mini and I've also tried making the images transparent, but I just cant seem to make it work. I can get either completely solid and completely transparent. But nothing in between...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've created a complicated polygon (hundreds of nodes) with the Paths Tool and am trying to fill it. When I select the Bucket Fill Tool, I get a tiny little error message at the bottom that reads: "Cannot modify the pixels of layer groups". Now then, I do have a Layer Group in the Layers tab to collect text items, but this is a Path in the Paths tab (which I thought was separate).
I have tried switching the path from Stroke to Selection, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
In the past, I've used Fireworks (mainly), Photoshop, and Illustrator with varying degrees of success.
Im trying to define a custom shape from a path but its greyed out on the edit menu, i've read that you simply select the path with the path selection tool and then edit>define custom shape but no luck..

I've been having a problem in illustrator for the last couple of days that I haven't had before. It doesn't just happen with this graphic, it has happened with other objects, even happened with a circle yesterday. It doesn't happen to all objects on the artboard though, just particular ones.
I've drawn these shapes with the pen tool, but the stoke and fill aren't aligned aligned with the path that I've drawn. It's causing issues when I resize (see image below) and also when I align. It aligns the path correctly but because that image doesn't match the path it looks wrong.
I'm looking to do a simple 3D ribbon with text mapped onto it.
Using the pen tool I made a line with slight curves to it, then 3D > Extrude/Bevel.
The end result added 'volume' to my ribbon. See here:[URL]....
The parts with Green X's on them are what i'd like to get rid of, so that it's basically a wide ribbon with minimal 'thickness'.
I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7.
I made a path and filled it with black. When I zoom in to make anchor adjustments, the fill and the path outline are offset making it very difficult to adjust and align filled paths. This happens all the time.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the pen tool to make a path with a fill, the fill updates immediately and correctly, but the path highlight (which usually displays as long as I'm working on a given path) only shows up when I hover my cursor above the path itself. Also, and this is a lesser issue, Illustrator's splash screen displays "Tryout." It came with CS6 MC, and none of the other apps are in trial mode.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this path that I got from Shutterstock. No matter what I do with it, it's got this green fill on it. So if I apply a grey fill to it, the grey fill is put on top of the green. If I remove the fill completely, the green fill is still there.
Maybe the person who made it applied some kind of magical unremovable fill color to it or someting?
I've ungrouped it, checked that there's no effects in the appearance panel, and of course checked that there's no outline on the path. I've also tried releasing compund paths. There's no opacity mask or transparency modes. Nothing worked.

In the video, you'll notice that the fill option after expanding is marked with a "?".The goal here is to, after expanding, fill ONLY the image of the cursor.

I'm trying to create a script in CS5 mac os10.6.8 that will change the fill color of selected pathItems. I need a simple script that will change a selected pathItem to cmyk values 2,3,15,0. I will then select this script and implement the action in a batch of 600 files.
I wish this process could be recorded as an action but when I record the action "add new swatch" I have to manually input the cmyk values, which will take forever for a batch of over 600 files.
