Any easy way to fit an image to path? fFor example, if I have a horizontal photo that is 10"long by 3" high, how can I warp/stretch/arc this imagr around a CD label so that the entire image wraps around the label?

View 7 Replies View RelatedWith shapes that are intended to fit exactly with one another, such as shapes created with pathfinder>divide I find often that there are very small cracks between the shapes and that these will show up if the shapes are exported to Photoshop in a more pronounced way.
What's the workaround to 'seal' one shape to another and rid the result of these gaps?
Joining the shapes is not an option as they are different colours.
I'm working on a website with an image and film archive. I wanted to have a couple images for the entry pages that give the site a sort of archive-y, slightly cluttered and haphazard feel. I recently got Photoshop CS2 and have some experience using it and previous versions, though I'm not an expert designer by any means. The two things I'd like to do are:
1. Find a plugin/filter/process to make jpg photo images appear to be old photos sitting on the background. I.e. make them a little warped, give a sense of depth & slight shadow, maybe even a slightly tattered edge. Basically to give the viewer an impression of several photographs scattered on top of a surface (in this case, the white background), maybe some tossed partway on top of others.
2. For the film content, I wanted an image of a 16mm film strip with screen captures from the films displayed as if they were each frame. I can do this with an image of flat 16mm movie film with the screen caps sized to fit the frames, but I'd *really* like to make that film sort of wavy and/or looped. Is there a way to warp a flat image like that into something that looks convincingly wavy, as if the film was just taken out of the canister?

Using the 'Warp Text' dialog, and the Style 'Arc' one can warp the text upward. That is fine if one wishes to add text to the top of a circle but, how about warping that text downward so as to readable at the bottom.
one can rotate the image 180 degrees and put type at the bottom but, then it is readable only if one rotates the image.
The other warp options all distort the text if warping it downward so that is out.
I'm trying to warp a rectangular shape into something more arched, like the image below. There doesn't seem to be any transformation options under the Edit -> Transform menu. Can this be done? Can it be done to at least 180 degrees?

How to you warp text onto a plane in 3D space? In other words, have it presented at an angle as if it were on a grid where the vertical lines converged to a vanishing point.
I have been playing with Maya and Photoshop inorder to create an icon for the Web 2.0 revamping of my website. Here is a rough sketch of what I am trying to do:
It is a pseudo-globe coming out of a box in a way that it looks like a gift for the user.
The pseudo-globe will look something like this
And the box will be something like this
The logo will be in 3D and the words "Complete" and "Translations" will appear as if they are printed on the floor where the box rests against the edges of the box.
I imagine this must be an easy thing for many people here to answer. How do I do this? I have the basic forms already in Maya in the 3D space. How do I put the letters on the floor?
I'm trying to do, but it's horizontal. I need to do it vertically with the letters on top of each other, not with the letters turned sideways, as in the "vertical text tool"

Have been using puppet warp with my current system config for a long time with no issues, and had, in fact, puppet warped several things just a few minutes prior with no issues. I have tried after restarting, using hardly any system resources, and with all other layers visible, and hidden. No matter what I try, as soon as I place the first pin, only the mesh remains and I can't see what I'm trying to warp at all. !
I am trying to make a film strip look like the river thames. i tried warping and this didn't work. i can use photoshop or illustrator.
so imagine a reel of film in the shape of the inner london river thames.
I've literally spent my whole night trying to get this down. Can't seem to even get close. Edit>Transform>Warp is more of a hassle if anything. Prespective barley works and using the Text toolbar warp tool is basically useless.
How would you go about wrapping text around the hat in this picture? people on youtube post videos of wrapping around a circle or a cup. Any 4 year old can do that, the hat is at an AWKWARD angle and facing down at a prespective.

You know those "warp a celebrity" flash or java games where you click on part of the celebrity's face and drag the mouse, and the image warps? Can this sort of thing be done to your images in photoshop 6.0? (That's the version I have)

How did they get the items - like the video frames in particular - to "wrap" around the globe like that? Perhaps Photoshop is not the right tool? I've seen this same effect with text and other images on various site, and I've always assumed it was done in Photoshop.

I need to make an intricate vector design look at is if it curved, like on the surface of a ball. BUT, I want to keep it editable. I tried the Warp tool first, but it made a mess, stirring up the shape rather than simply allowing me to curve it.
So I tried making a 3D sphere, then mapping it onto that. It worked, but now whenever I try to move or rotate the thing, it doesn't work right. Also, I can't tweak the design anymore.
I have a project that is just under 100 minutes and VideoStudio reports that it requires 5.31GB. I have tried all 6 provided templates and 2 new templates that I created, using compression factors down to 60%. Every one still shows the 5.31Gb requirement. How do I adjust settings to put this project on a 4.7Gb DVD?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have two images, a square photo of a person, and a square picture frame. I want to put the photo in the frame so it looks natural.
Now here's the catch: the picture frame image is displayed at a slight angle, so it's shaped sort of like a parallelogram. So when I put the square photo on top, and rotate it as best I can, it still does not 'fit' naturally in the frame.
My question is how can I make the photo fit naturally?
For more years I can remember, I have been using CorelDraw4 - I use it for designs for t-shirts and various other printing requirements. A lot of this work involves fitting text to path, particularly round the bottom of a circle. I know how to do it in CorelDraw4, how to do it in Corel draw X5 - I can get wording on the top of the circle, but cannot get separate at the bottom of the circle.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFitting text to a specified area. To clarify, I am trying to fill letters into a Harley Davidson logo. The top and bottom rockers on the logo have the text skewed to fit the shape of the shield. If you are familiar with the logo, the text in the top and bottom rockers has one flat side and one stretched side.
I've attempted to try some text to path options but they aren't doing at all what I need. It's essentially a standard line of text with either the top or bottom (respectively) stretched to fit the point of the top rocker and the curve of the bottom.

Just wondering what techniques do you vehicle illustration masters use to adjust text to the tyres.
If my video project is to big to fit on a 4.7G disc and X4 prompt to fit it in the burn to ISO or Video TS stage, the end result have 1 or more video clips converted to heavily low quality, approximately a bit more than 3000 bit rate, but not all the video clips are converted. The end result is that some video clips have grainy scenes with some artifacts on the TV.
Since it is very time consuming to batch convert all the videos of the project to a lower bit rate in order to fit it on a 4.7G disc (choosing one bit rate specification, see if all videos plus menus fit, choose another lower bit rate and start batch converting again if not...), I decided to use the 8.5G option of X4 with the original quality formerly rendered videos and finish the dvd building in that way. After that I choose DVD Shrink 3.2 to compress it on 4.7G. DVD Shrink successfully compress a 5.2G project DVD to 4.7G (actually 4.4G) with a 95% compression rate with a sharp function. The overall end result's playback quality was far more better than when using batch convert to a lower bit rate with X4. Just want to mention that X2 handled such a compress to fit request better.
The last time I've needed to go the DVD Shrink way for compressing large DVD sizes were in the days of VS 11. By mentioning VS11, that was also the time when I got several crashes with DVD authorizing. I remember I had to set VS 11 to convert all DVD compliant MPEG again to have a smooth playback without Video/Audio multiplexing problems.I always use formerly rendered MPEG2 files. I never use the edited project to author a DVD.
I downloaded a hose fitting ipt file from the Parker website and did the Tube and Pipe Authoring thing to put it into the content center as a new family in a new read/write library.

The new library is checked in my Projects configuration. I have been monkeying with the NS column of the family and can't seem to get it back to its original format now.
