I've traced/drawn an ice machine with the line tool. There are about 20 individual lines that make the shape. All are in one layer. I want to group the lines so that I can make it one object so that I can move it all together. When I select all of the individual lines and then click Combine, some of my lines disappear.
How do I make a Background Image with multiple lines like something similar to the example? I want to make a background for a car repair firm where I can place cars on top.
how do I make straight lines? Horizontal Lines? Vertical Lines? Curvs? I read many tutorials and i am afraid that I am doing it the wrong way, my way is to drag a guide to where i want the line to be at and trace the guide with the brush tool...
I am pretty new to Photoshop and I have come across a few things that I would love to do but I cant figure out how to do them. Also, I have elements so I'm not even sure if I can do them. Anyway one of the things I am trying to learn is how to put lines over an image. For example the very first picture on this site: ...
Is there any way to make 2 to sketch lines instead of floating lines so that I can dimension them?
For example, if I have a part that can change lengths and I need to print off a new drawing, it would be good if I could say that the lines were a set distance from each end of the part or some features of the part.
Then I could update the part length, then just open the part drawing and not have to adjust anything.
This isnt so much of a problem as an annoyance. When I try to make poly lines from connected single lines my procedure is as follows...
pedit, right click, multiple, select lines/objects, enter, yes, join x 3, esc
My annoyance is if i hit join once it will not make the lines into polylines, if i hit join 3 times or so and then esc it will.
It just doesnt seem that is right and I think i might be missing something. I have been doing pedit this way for a long time adn its probably finally time to figure this one out.
I have a sort of ring doughnut shape (just to be clear, a circle with the center cut out) and want to add text within this shape. To make the shape, I created a larger circle, then a smaller circle overlapping it and chose "Exclude Overlapping Shapes".
I can obviously click within the larger circle and then type along this path, either outside or inside depending on the baseline shift %, but the trouble is my text is multiple lines. When I press 'enter' I don't get a new line, I just lose the typing tool. Surely there's a way to do this? I'm using Photoshop CS6.
I am trying to use the pen tool to develop a rail road switchyard layout. It is a main line with multiple lines coming off of it. How do you make the settings so it does not expect you to close the path?
I want the mainline to be one path, and each switch line to be a separate path. Then I can stroke each path. Can't figure out how to end the path and start a new one as it wants to make it all one continuous path.
I have Photoshop cs6 extended addition and was told Photoshop would work for the research application I need but so far I am finding it very difficult to do what I want. Basically, I need to be able to measure multiple lines (the red ones in the screen shot) of an image precisely, and make sure that the lines I measure are documented so that they are actually visible (so not just with the ruler tool) on the screen and labeled.
See image for example. I need the lengths (converted with the 2 micrometer scale at the bottom of the image). When I use the info, it gives me the lengths, but I can't save them, or look them up at a different time. Also, when using the line tool, then doing the "record measurement" it does not give me the length of the line but insted acts like it is a thin rectangle and gives me a height (which does not seem to be the same as if I used the measurement tool and put it next to the line, which is an idea I have, but not as accurate) and a width.
How do I create multiple lines of text in a single layer. Everytime I finish with a line and want to go to the next, I hit 'Enter', but that completes the text. If I click on the layer image again, then it creates another layer.
So basically if I have 10 lines of text, I end up with 10 layers of text as well. Needless to say, this becomes to much trouble if I have to center each line of text and add blending options to 10 layers instead of one.
I'm trying to figure out how to create an image of a solid line into one with a dotted line. this isn't a matter of spacing, but rather filters of some sort (i'd imagine). See this example for the best explanation:
I had the first image (from a brush) and created the second by hand. I literally took a layer and traced the original with dots, making them larger or smaller as I went along. There must be a better way! So I'm looking for the way to convert a line of varying widths to a single dotted line of various-sized dots. make sense?
I'm looking for a something similar to the new orbit packaging.
A friend of mine used photoshop a while ago to do this effect on a image for me i was wondering if anyone can help me out and give me instructions on how to make this scan line like effect.
Is there a way to make a work path that has all the lines of the triangle instead of just the outside?
When i use the quick selection or magic wand i can only A) Get the outside shape and inside triangle, or B) Get all but one of the shapes. The triangle is made up of 3 L looking shapes. I want to make a path, put it into Cinema4D , and then be able to color it so i can THEN, put it into an After Effects video.
My work is generally calligraphy, it is all drawn by hand but would like the option to smooth it out on Photoshop if possible? I have attached a copy of the artwork,
1.How to make the vertical color lines in the picture below to be symmetric? 2.I would like to know how to make those lines on a layer like in the picture below,
I would like to take a basic sketch drawing and use it for a tshirt design. I've scanned the image and cleaned up all the speckles and dust. The only problem I'm still encountering is that the lines are not even. It was traced in sharpie before I scanned it so the lines are crisp and smooth, but not even.
I'm making ID badges. I have made a template for the artwork and then added each photo individually to a box sized area. The images are already cropped to squares, but I had to resize each one to fit in the box. Then I have to make each one visible in order to save all of the images of the IDs.
I'd like to be able to add a group of images (all square) as layers to a pre-defined area and have photoshop resize each accordingly. It would be great if I could batch save the images, too and not have to hide each successive image.
