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 :: 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 :: How To Convert Shape Path In Work Path

Jun 23, 2012

I'm trying about 8 hours to convert a Photoshop shape in to a working path in order to put a brush border around it. I don't understand why the "stroke path with brush" is grayed out and not usable directly on the shape path itself.
 
"Load path from selection" is not an option because it deforms my path.

GIMP :: Will Not Open Files If Foreign Characters In Path Name

Mar 3, 2012

I am using Gimp 2.6.11. I have had the same issue with all older versions.

For whatever reason, GIMP refuses to open any file that contains non-English characters. For example, if I try to open a file called GoranDragićDunk.png, it will tell me there is no such file or directory. Changing the file name to GoranDragicDunk.png fixes the issue, so it's clearly to do with having Ć instead of C. Now, the problem is that it also does this if the foreign characters are found anywhere within the path, so that it will not open C:\My Files\NBA\GoranDragić\AwesomePass.png either because it contains the Ć within the path name.

Now, I know that older versions of programs such as Adobe Acrobat had this same issue, but it was fixed years ago. Am I the first person to notice this with GIMP? It shocks me that such a simple thing has not been fixed yet. Would I have to install a foreign-language version of GIMP?

Photoshop :: CS6 Type On A Path And Work Paths

Sep 19, 2012

Has any body else noticed that if you create a work path, then create a shape layer (say a rectangle) and type some text on the rectangle (text on a path) that if you commit the type and switch to the Path Selection Tool to edit the path text (position of the starting or end points) photoshop cs6 replaces your previous workpath with a workpath of the shape layer you typed on?
 
Is photoshop cs6 supposed to work that way?
 
Windows 8 x64 and photoshop 13.01 new document a create a workpath create a rectangle shape layer and type on the rectangle shape layer path. The orginal workpath has been replaced by the rectangle shape layer path

Photoshop :: CC Path Manipulation Doesn't Work Like CS6

Aug 14, 2013

I just upgraded to a new computer setup and installed Photoshop CC and well..... I can't figure out how to manipulate paths like in CS6.
 
On the left is a what path manipulation with anchor points looks like in CS6 on my old slow iMac, and on the right is the new CC with direction selection on, but instead I can't manipulate paths. How can I get it to work like CS6? Also, I know about the isolating layers thing, but that still doesn't let me manipulate certain anchor points.
 
why Command + . isn't allowed in CC as a hotkey?

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 :: Delete Leftovers Outside Visible Work Path?

Jan 9, 2014

Is it possible to delete/clear contents outside visible work path easy way?

Sometimes when you create stuff, move stuff, import and cut images something is left outside visible work path. For example, in Adobe Photoshop it could be easily deleted with select tool + delete. Even non visible leftovers that is outside work area.

I started using Gimp yesterday and sure some things are SO irritating after long use of other image editing softwares.. I just can not figure out how people get used to it (Gimp).

Long way would be to move layer contents so you could see those "leftovers" and then it allows you to select them and delete. Then move back image where it was previously. But even after deleting those lefovers why the hell GIMP would select layer size according to "what it was at first" not what's acual dimensions of non transparent area?

Illustrator :: Pencil Tool In 17.1 - Closed Path Doesn't Work

Jan 31, 2014

Draw closed paths with the Pencil toolSelect the Pencil tool.Position the tool where you want the path to begin, and start dragging to draw a path.After you’ve begun dragging, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS). The Pencil tool displays a small circle (and, in InDesign, a solid eraser) to indicate that you’re creating a closed path.When the path is the size and shape you want, release the mouse button (but not the Alt or Option key). After the path closes, release the Alt or Option key.You don’t have to position the cursor over the starting point of the path in order to create a closed path; if you release the mouse button in some other location, the Pencil tool will close the shape by creating the shortest possible line back to the original point.it doesn't for me. after i start drawing and i hold the option key, it goes to drawing a straight line. i don't hold the key till after i start drawing lit says.
 
same thing with the connect two paths. holding the command key doesn't change the behavior of the pencil tool.i'm guessing there is no way of remapping the 'smooth tool' to option again? or was it moved to another hotkey?

Revit :: How To Change / Set Work Plane While Sketching Path Of In-place Model

May 10, 2012

Possible to change/set the work plane while sketching the path of an in-place model? This guardrail extension is an example of where I would have liked to change the work plane while sketching the path because the path shifted planes. I believe you can do this in the family editor, but I could not get it to work in the in-place modeler. What I ended up doing (as an experiment) was to create masses and picked their edges to get the path I wanted. I would love to be able to have more control over the work plane, like defining the workplane by a face and then being able to move it relative to the face selected.

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?

Illustrator :: Can Draw A Hollow Stroke

Dec 21, 2013

I want to draw with my tablet using the paint brush, pencil, or pen, but I want the stroke to be hollow or another color down the middle. Like it has a fill...
 
I thought I might be able to do this with the blob brush at least, but it doesn't seem to let me draw with a stroke and fill set.
 
Bellow is a visual of what I'd like to achieve:
 
I did this by first drawing a line, then outlining the stroke, but the point is I want to be able to draw lines like this as I go, not constantly convert to outlines...

CorelDRAW X5 :: Hollow Circle With A Fill But No Outline?

Sep 12, 2012

Is there a way to create a hollow circle (or ring) that has a fill, but does not actually fill the circle with the color, just makes the outline?

Here is an image of what I need: 

I am having the above laser cut out of acrylic.  The laser needs to have everything that is black use a Fill and no Outline.  The way it is in the file now, there is no Fill on the circle, but there is a black Outline.  If I tell it to have a black Fill and no Outline (like the laser needs) I end up with a solid black circle which the laser will engrave as a solid circle instead of the "ring".

3ds Max Modeling :: Merging Hollow Meshes For 3D Printing

Jun 10, 2013

This is part of a project to 3D print models of cities using data extracted from public sources.  I have extracted the model data for cities, but cannot get models that will print correctly.  From the attached file, you will see that I created a simple standard primitive rectangular base, but there are also sorts of holes in the meshes of the cities. Do you 3DS wizards know any way to :
 
1) combine the solid rectangular primitive so that it will be solid through the meshes that it intersects; and/or 
 
2) fill the sometimes hollow 3d building models so that I can print them (regardless of the interiors).
