I have some weird virus action going on and need to reformat. I cant get into photoshop to export shapes. So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find to save my custom shapes.
I have found .csh files in 2 locations:
Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CSPresetsCustom Shapes
I need to reformat and had some shaped I made that I dont want to lose.
does anyone know where they are stored?
I looked in Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CSPresetsCustom Shapes but did not see anything for "user made" or anything like that. Would they be in the "all.csh" or somewhere else?
I would like to use a vector object made in AI as a custom shape to be used as a cookie cutter in elements.. I imported the AI file in photoshop but the "define custom shape" entry under "edit" was grayed out.
Using Lasso i have created a good shape that i require in my work. so now i want to save that shape i have drawn to custom shapes so that i can use it later also in my future works.
I need to transfer them from CS5 to CS6. I can't work without them. I looked everywhere. Where are they stored (on a Mac)? I did try that useless migration thing.
I want to make a custom shape, so I made the shapes with the pen tool. But what I want to do is select all the pen layers and do Edit > Define Custom Shape, but i can only select one pen layer?
I am trying to find out how to obtain more custom shapes. There are 30 or so that come with the program, but does anyone know how to get more? I am referring to the ones like heart, arrow, talk bubble, paw print, music note, etc. Is it possible to get more of these?
I'm using CS4 and trying to follow any number of tutorials and I get completely stumped every time at this point.
I'm asked to create a rectangle the size of my canvas and fill it. Fine. Then create a rounded rectangle overtop of it. Fine. Then I'm to go into blending options and Gradient Overlay. Fine. This is where I'm stumped.
They show the "gradient editor". I cannot find this for the life of me. Adobe CS4 docs state there should be a gradient preview in the info panel. There isn't because I'm not using the gradient tool.
I had created a couple of shapes with the pen tool. I've searched the PS folders to find those shapes as files, but I couldn't.
I'd like to know if there's any way to "recover" them. I still have access to the PS folders, but not PS itself. It's a little complicated. The partition I previously installed PS is now on the slave drive, because I couldn't boot from that partition, which is why I had to install XP once more on the (now) master hdd.
I was wondering how to create custom shapes with CS2. At the moment i'm dirtily drawing straight line angles freehand and they look terrible.
How would i, for example, cut the corners a square. Id use the rectangular marquee tool rotated 45 degrees and then cut off the corners like that. But it's not accurate at all and there's no shading to make the line look smooth.
I am trying to use Photoshop to create some simple maps for a MUD. I want to create some different colored blocks to represent the rooms. Is there a way that I can create the "rooms" (blocks) and then use them in another drawing? In other words, can I define a shape and save it to be used later?
I want to shape a banner i did into a curved rectangle, how would i do that without the edges of the image showing? I've tried it before but i had to erase the image part that overlapped the custom shape.
I am looking through the custom shapes and I have every shape there I could think of, besides a camera one. Is there any freeware packs of custom photoshop shapes that have a icon kind of thing in? I am wanting it to make some new buttons for my website.
I have dowloaded some shapes and brushes from the extension pages of adobe for designs and graphics for commercial use. I have been looking for terms of use and copyright but most of the time could find any and even very often links to author are broken. Can anybody tell me if such elements dowloaded from adobe extension page are free for commercial use.
I can't seem to figure out how to change a custom shape. Shape: 35px H x 700px W rectangle with vertical gradient. What I want to do: I am wanting to reshape the left 100 or so pixels so that the left side curls up and comes to a point approx 50px above. Best way to describe would be the shape would look like a candy cane laid on its side.
NOTE: I don't have a problem creating the shape. I have a problem with getting the gradient to follow through with the shape - the gradient wants to change according to the heigth of the curl. So far the only "attempted" way was using the liquify feature but I can never draw a good circular shape by hand.
Has anyone got any recommendations for somewhere that I can download free Photoshop Custom Shapes and Brushes? I've had a quick look around Google and found some but unfortunately they are not compatible with my version of PS (CS3).
