I want to draw a semi transparent rectangle using the rectangle tool. i do this, and set the layer opacity to 40 or so. the rectangle goes transparent but the very edges of hte rectangle seem to be less transparent, as if they are drawn in with a white pensil. how do i create a rectangle with no edge?

I tried using the rectangle tool but each time i click on the background option after the rectangle is drawn, it disappear.
The rectangle will only appear again when i select the rectangle shape from the layer panel.
Is there anyway where i can make the rectangle show on the image?
i tried reading up some of the thread posted and i saw some thread mentioning doing something to the path. How is the path used?
I'm not really familiar with using paths and layers, so i need a really layman's term of explaination.
For more info, i actually set the colour of the rectangle fill 100% opacity 100%.
anyway wat is the purpose of setting opacity?
cos i tried ranges between 0 - 100 and there doesn't seem to have much difference.
I have Photoshop CS and I am not sure how to create a rectangular box (in the corner of a photo) with a black border of about 3px, and the inside of the box should be colored in an orange-yellow gradient.
Then I want to create another rectangular box (in a different corner of the same photo), again with a black border of about 3px, and the inside of the box should be a straight white.
I have tried it using the rectangular marquee tool and then going to Edit | Stroke (3 px), but the border itself is colored orange/yellow. I click the gradient tool and that part seems OK, but I end up with an orange/yellow gradient framed by a yellow border - and not a black one.
I know how to do it in Fireworks, but want to use PS to achieve the task ... so basically want to create an empty box, circle or whatever shape with a border x pixels wide.
The way I do it right now is to make a black rectangle, then fit a smaller white rectangle inside it, and delete the overlapping black area, that leaves me with just an outline of whatever width I choose.

I just want a one point thick border rectangle with nothing filled. I tried using the rectangle marquee and stroke. Doesn't work. I tried the rectangle tool and rasterized, it disappeared.
Using PS CS 3.
How do you remove the border from the shapes tool? I draw a rounded edge rectangle with a gray foreground and black background and I can't see any options to keep the black from becoming a 1 pixel border around the image.
I even tried changing the BGcolor to the same gray and I still get a black outline.
1. Is it possible to quickly create a shape that just uses the border (at a definable width/etc.). Ie, if I wanted to create a curved rectangle (but just a border of it, so that the inside is transparent), I usually select the shape tool, change to curved corner rectangle, draw the shape, ctrl+click the layer to load it's transparency as a selection, do a select > modify > contract and guesstimate how many pixels in I want to contract (It would be nice if PS auto updated the selection when you changed the CONTRACT value, so you could visualize it), and when that is done, press the DEL/BACKSPACE key to make the inside transparent, leaving just a "border" of the shape. Is there an easier way to this?
2. Secondly, I often thought it would be nice to have a lasso tool that drew selections in the same manner the pen tool makes shapes. But I tried to think outside the box and thought "If I just make a shape with the pen tool, I can then, again, load it as a selection, goto the layer I want to delete/fill and do so, and then remove the pen-created shape. Am I taking the long way around? Are there quicker methods? Also, is there a way to draw with the pen tool so that it uses the border and not a fill? Or is that just how Illustrator does it, and not PS?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a solid-color rectangle with rounded edges (feather of 5px). This seems like it should be simple, but I'm having a problem: I use the Rectangular Marquee tool to create the rectangle and then the Paint Bucket tool to fill in the rectangle. When I do this, the edges of the rectangle are fuzzy. I would like the edges to be hard (not fuzzy). Under the Paint Bucket options, Anti-alias is unchecked, the Mode is Normal, and the Opacity is 100%.
I notice that when I try to create a rectangle without rounded edges, the border is not fuzzy. Why does it become fuzzy when I try to create a rectangle with rounded edges?
I'm just guns blazing in Photoshop CS6 and enjoying every feature of it, but I have this on issue that I think Adobe has overlooked.
In previous Photoshop when you create a shape and open the "Blending Options" window your shape would look like this (if you have the "shape" deselected in the layers palette.
Example 1.
But now in Photoshop CS6 I don't have the option to do so, I'm stuck with this shape bounding border, and it's a real pain when doing website mockups or other things for that matter.
Example 2.:
Example 3.:
As you can see above if I wanted to add a 1 pixel inner shadow to work as a highlight, I can't see a proper preview of it. Unless I hit ok and deselect the shape.
Using acad 2010. I am looking for a blending tool in autocad.
for example , i have shape A and shape B. by blending them in a distance ill get tween shapes showing the transformation from A to B
here in the image you can see the blending from a star to rectangle. [URL] ..........
I have a rectangle (looks like a label border) showing up in my room tag. It's a simple tag taken from the OOTB room tag family. I'v re-edited the family, checked the parameters and values. All label borders are off, but this one looks like its either part of a separate, invisible label or a separate rectangle that I can't find to delete.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI’m trying to figure out if there is a way to scale a “border” around a rectangle or square? Or, put another way, keeping an image the same size, but enlarge an inner rectangle or square without cropping the “border.” To try and add context, imagine a bezel used for an arcade machine. A border with a cut-out in the middle to view the screen. Imagine you wanted to preserve the information on the bezel border, but increase the size of the cut out.

I am working in cs6 for Illustrator and Photoshop. I would like to make a rounded rectangle with an inner border. The area between the two borders I would like to add a decorative paper that I created in Photoshop. The large center remains white. I've tried clipping it, but apparently did not do it correctly. How to accomplish this?

I am currently working in a Illustrator file that is 10% of the final print size. This is because the final size is 8,9 x 5,8 meters (15 x 7 times A1). It is therefor all my sizes have to be the EXACT size. Any flaws in sizes will be 10x as big on the final print.
So I am creating 15 x 7 A1 rectangles in my composition of 891 x 588,7 millimeters. 10% of a A1 should be 84,1x59,4mm. However, when I create a rectangle by this very size, Illustrator automatically changes it to 83,961 x 59,267 millimeters. This will result in a 5 pixel blank space on the 15 side, which means 50 pixels on the final size. I, but especially my boss ( -_-' ) would like this to be 0 pixels.
How to fix this auto correction? I think it will have something to do with the millimeters to pixel correction.
When I create a shape, like a rectangle, it starts out slightly rotated or skewed. When I take another shape, like a half circle, and reflect it, it rotates at a slight angle. This happens every time I start a new file. I don't see rotation in the appearance panel. When I look at the transform panel it lists rotation at zero. Yet all of my shapes tilt down and to the right.
How can I stop my shapes from auto rotating?
I would like to create a border that looks at the sheet number and then zones the horizontal borders in a continuous numbering scheme.
Sheet 1 = 1-8
Sheet 2= 9-16
etc...
This is a requirement that we have to meet with some customers. When drawings get to 30+sheets it becomes a pain to manually renumber the zones.
I would imagine this is done in VB code, but I have not programmed in a very long time. The formula would be something simple like;
if sheetnumber >1 then
for i =1 to 8
zone(i)i.value = zone(i).value +8
next i
end if

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have 4 layers (background, layer1, layer2, layer3-text). They fill all 300 x 600 pixels that comprise the .psd/future image. What I want to do is use a rounded rectangle to encompass all of the other layers, so that the surrounding pixels (around the rounded rectangle) are transparent.
I want all of my current layers to be the content of a rounded rectangle.
I saw that the Rounded Rectangle properties were not available on the regular rectangle (to change corner radius).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was using these tool on a lot of images, because they often seemed to vastly improve them, making the colors pop on otherwise somewhat dull ones, and getting rid of unwanted color casts..
Later though I noticed that it is often at the cost of burning out hightlights in some areas beyond salvation.I also find shadow /highlight sometimes does this also.
Then I tried to protect some small areas with a mask before proceeding, but it seems that I can't find information on just painting a mask, but only videos with much more complex adjustment such as the Russel Crow or Lynda ones with maintaing hair detail while superimposing images, which is way beyond what I need in these cases.
If I try the wand to select and inverse I get unnatural looking divisions. Is it a matter of feathering to the right extent?
I have just moved from 7.0 to CS3 (and PC to Mac) and am currently trying to get to grips with the new features! Once which I love is the auto-align and auto-blend feature(s). My question is, is there any way to control how these features work? I have seen on some web sites people talk about 'fuzziness' sliders where you can control that if an object (pixels) appear in X% of the photos they should/shouldn't be included in the final image but I cannot find these.
My intention is to use these features to take photos of monuments and have the people who are moving about removed from the final image (I guess it's the auto-align that would do this.) I tried a test and took a number of photos at home but I kept moving one object around (a pen.) The pen appears in all the images but in a different location so it always appears in the final image. When I tried auto-align with a stack that included one image without the pen, the pen was removed from the final image. Given the first scenario (i.e. the object is in all the images but in a different location) is there any way of automatically removing it using auto-align or would this have to be a manual process? In the real world, it would be possible to take a photo of a monument with people in different locations but it would be much harder (or take a long time) to take one where at least one person was not in all the photos (there's always someone loitering.)
I have a drawing that has a white background.
I would like to add more to the white background to make it bigger without having to stretch it and distort the image.
I want to place a circle shaped outline border around the original image with a set border thickness and color and be able to crop/remove the portion of the image beyond the outline, changing it from a square/rectangle image to a circular image.
If I am not able to change the drawing to have a round outer border from square, how can I make the outer parts past the newly created circular outline transparent?
