1) I'd like to center certain compotents of my image into sections of the frame. I'm trying to go about this by creating my sections with the slice tool. Then, for any objects within that slice, I select it, but then I'm at a loss. How do I center the objects within my selection, and for that matter, how to I tell it that I want it to be centered in the sliced section only?
2) I'm trying to draw simple lines with the Line Tool, but I get this huge arrow instead of a line. I don't want an arrow, and I only want it to be 1 pixel thick. How can I do this?
I've used photoshop 7 for a while, I have not found a way to find the center of an image. Is there a way to do that? Such as if I were going to put my sig at the bottem but centered on the image. Without it looking... lopsided.
Whenever I've got an image and Im placing text on it, I try to drag it to the middle of my 100X30 Pixel blank image, but photoshop will either allow me to move it side to side, or the top of my text hugs the top of my image, or the bottom of my text has to hug the bottom of the image. I can't just put my text in the center of my 100X30 .
Is there some preset I need to turn off in order to move this text around freely and place wherever. I want to be able to have my text in the center and not have any of it touching any of the sides.
Im a total noob to photoshop, but Ive decided to make it my new hobby and am trying to learn everythin about it I can, but the going is a little slow.. Ive been doing good so far, but I have had a proble with centering within selections or images.. is ther a shortcut key to place my selection tool in the exact center of an image? another problem i am having is creating my own patterns.. is ee the pattern maker.. but I make a pattern and cant save it it.. and cant apply it using the pattern stamp.. how dop i make my own patterns?
How can I get photos to print centered on photo paper when using borders? I always end up with a large area on either the right or the bottom, no matter what I do. They print this way even if they show fine in Preview.Â
I'm in the process of creating a textual watermark for my photos in photoshop but have come across a big problem.
I am using the horizontaly text mask tool but I cannot rotate nor center (both horizontally and vertically) my text before turning it into a layer.
If IÂ rotate and center the text after putting it into a new layer it wont work since the text will move and leave the writing embossed onto the picture.
is there a way to center a pattern sample in Photoshop in layer effects? If I scale the pattern it doesn't seem to allow me to center it, it just grows it left to write and as a top to bottom expansion. Â Same issue with making a selection and filling it with a pattern. The only way to get a single copy of the pattern is to use EDIT/FILL, then crop it via selection. But I want to get a single sample of the pattern block via a layer effect fill.
I am using CS5.5 Extended on a PC with Windows 7. Â I am centering a layer with a smaller photo,with a larger background color layer - no biggie, done it many times with no problem...however for some reason when I center horizontally now, it is off by about 3/16th's to the right. I have set up vertical guides, sized the photo layer so both sides are on the side vertical side guides to make sure, selected both layers then do the horizontal centering....still off.
I am using photoshop elements. I would like to scan in a book cover, and make it appear on a white background and center the picture there. Is this done by some layer? How do I do this?
I would like the image showing little america to have the setting shown in the book next to it. That means to have the white background and the image being centered.
have played with Photoshop but never done any thing for the web, was wondering, how are slices saved and what makes the html code to use.When they are saved do they all have the same code or diferent codes? Keep it simple as you can, dont really understand this part.
Is there a way to slice PSD slices that appear on top of eachother in a PSD? What I mean is, can I assign a slice for each layer - since in the PSD the layers all appear at the same x,y coordinates...
I'm trying to customize a website template that was made in Photoshop and has been sliced already. When I select slices and save them for the web, the webpage looks wrong when I open it in Dreamweaver. The text and/or images are basically cut off. I've tried moving different slices forward or backwards, but it hasn't helped. I'm using Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver 8.
I did my layout with PS, make slices with ImageReady or Fireworks. Putting it all together in Dreamweaver is the problem. Making the second page, and so on is the problem. Becouse if I just import Fireworks Html there is no room for text or somethling elese if you unerstand me.
i have just sliced black box with rounded corners, hence i slice the four corners and used css to change the background color of the rest of the box - so as not to export square items (as css can do this with changing the color only).
The reason i am asking is that we are now in age of DSL and high speed internet so maybe i should have sliced the whole image rather than the four corners?
This is where i get a little confused, of course the way i do it works but is it correct?
I have also noticed some sites are using a "LARGE" background image in there CSS which contains content holders (with square corners) etc... which i think is great, but does the file size / speed suffer
Once i have sliced and exported my images is it better to always put the images in as background images (within divs) rather than images thenselves?
how i can get the slicing feature of PhotoShop CS2 to create CSS rules that use the 'background-image' syntax in the css rather than putting images in the XHTML page using non compliant <img> tags.
I have downloaded a bunch of free web templates I found on the web.
Some of them contain an HTML document, and images, which are presumably the output to HTML of a sliced up psd file, as they also contain the full psd file when you download it. The odd thing is that the PSD file simply has NO slices
I have no idea why they would do this, but it makes taking a nice template and making slight modifications rather difficult, because it would require you reslice the psd file yourself. At that point, its almost useless to have the template at all.
Am I doing something wrong?
Here is an example of a template I download, that includes the html/images and the psd, but no slice information that I can find.
I use Adobe Photoshop CS2, Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Macromedia Fireworks 8
I am working to export a photoshop image to a webpage. When I originally started slicing the image, everything worked great. Now when I want to make a new slice, it doesn't lock into the other ones I already made. So if I do not line up my new slice perfectly, I can accidentally creat 4 more slices that are barely visible. Is there anyway to turn on this 'locking' feature again so I can proceed?
1) is there a way to "save for web" only user slices? without the auto slices? 2) is there a way to 'copy' the slices (all of them together) from one file to another?
I have a page of web art that I have sliced up. One section is a series of buttons. I have the different button states on different layers and I have created slices for each button and then duplicated the slices onto each layer so that every button state has a slice.
But...since the slices associated with a layer don't hide when you hide the layer, it's almost impossible to get at the underlying slices to name them and/or select them for output.
I inadvertently cleared the slices and need to get them back (file had been saved and session closed). I have another PSD file that has the slices layout I need but not the correct layers. I suppose I could just copy all the layers over but was wondering if there is a tool that allows you to save and restore the slices layout?
i have been reading, slices in photoshop can only be rectangular in shape...is there any way to make irregular shaped slices? for example, if i have a jpeg opened in photoshop, i want to make a curved slice at the bottom right corner, but will only save and use the jpeg in mainphoto, which i want to have a rounded edge?
I have a sliced image, which i'm trying to "save for web" using JPG format for all slices, but when i select the JPG settings (these in right) it outputs as a JPG only one of the slices, and everything else is GIF?! If i select all slices one by one and set them to save as JPG, it will work, but that's just too much slices, and i think there should be better way?
When creating templates with photoshop and image ready, is there a way to mark the slice as a background image?
When I generate the html the slices all end up as images. I then have to go into DW and change the img src to none and set the background image of the cell to the name it was.
