Dec 7, 2006i wanted to have the "heartheartheart" follow the beams in both shape and direction. i tried some pathing and warping but it seems like there would be an easier more precise way.

I'm having extreme difficulty in trying to change the shape of a just the Title's solid background shape (proportions). I want to retain the solid background color behind my text to cover up something at the top of a video clip.
For some unexplained reason, the (yellow squares) "resizing handles" do not work properly. The ones in the middle (top and bottom) do not stretch the background shape taller or smaller, but instead they act exactly like the corner (yellow resizing handles)! The middle ones stretch the background proportionately wider (and larger overall) and/or more narrow (less width and smaller overall) instead of how they are supposed to work. Plus, they seem to "snap" to some invisible grid instead of precisely points where I place them to.
Any way to control this very odd behavior that I haven't found? Is there some other workaround to "block-out" something which is across the top of the video clip?
I was working on a self project and I have text finally set in the right place, but when I remove the outside box, my text disappears as well. I need to find a way to leave only the text on my document and be able to remove everything else.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSometimes they work, sometimes they don't. It is very frustrating and I'd like to know why they sometimes don't work.
Example:
I have a rectangle with a smaller rectangle over it, I want to punch a hole in the bottom rectangle with the top one. I select both, click on "Trim" and it doesn't knock it out. If you look at it in wireframe, you can see the shape I wanted to punch out, but that bottom rectangle is still solid. "Back minus Front" doesn't work either.
I use a rectangle as the example, but things I'm trying to punch out are text converted to curves, imported logos, etc.
Sometimes, very few, the Trim works. Is there a certain reason why it doesn't work most of the time? Something to do with the curve of the shape(s) that I'm trying to punch out?
I'm wanting to cut a shape out of a rectangle from a macro. I need to do this on hundreds of files. I tried to do the following while recording a macro:
Select all shapes
Run Arrange->Shaping->Back Minus Front
However, this just results in this comment being recorded: "Recording of this command is not supported: ShapingCommand"
How to call the shaping commands from VBA? I've dug through offline and online documentation and have come up with nothing.
I did a brief search in this forum on the Civil 3D 2012 Interactive Shaping Terrain package previewed by Autodesk in January/February 2012, and couldn't find any recent news on this package. Is it going to be released as an add-on sometime soon? Is it already available for download, and I'm simply not aware of it? Here's a link to the latest status of the package from AutoDesk on the issue (dated 2012):

nautical-y.jpg
I am tryng to create a nautical letter Y symbol. It is a yellow square with red diagonal lines inside it.
I have started with a yellow square then created red lines above and then tried every permutation of the Shape tool, but I cannot crop the red lines to fit inside the boundaries of the yellow square. I have tried with the yellow square on top and under the red lines, but every one of the shape tools seems to either cut a shape out of the yellow square or cut the middle out of the red lines instead of cutting the red lines off around the inner edge of the yellow square. (I hope I am making myself understood). I don't want to have to shape each line individually to fit within the boundaries of the yellow square.

When you use the Spacing command to set the work canvas grid spaciing, it requires that you pick a point in the drawing and then enter the value? Shouldn't it just prompt you for a value? Seems like a bug maybe. Am I missing a settings or something?
View 5 Replies View Relatedtrying to copy txt from an outside text editor and pasting them into an open, editable text layer in my workspace. The problem is that I can COPY the text fine, but when I click over to PS to paste it into the open editable text layer it either pastes the previous text from my clipboard OR it won't paste anything at all. I can then go into any other text field on a browser, spreadsheet document, a different text editor, notepad, etc and successfully paste the proper batch of text I wanted to paste into PS. Sometimes I have some rather large files open 50+megs when I notice this happen. I have to save my work and close out entirely of PS and then open it again before I can begin editing my original document again and successfully paste the text into the open editable text layer. This may last for a few COPY/PASTE sessions of additional text in additional text layers, but then begins displaying the symptoms I described above.
I am on Win7 on an AlienWare M17XR3 laptop with 16G RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series display adapter.I assume it's either in my PS performance settings which I have PS using 10413MB RAM and has over 350G scratch disk space. If it's not that I guess my laptop system performance settings which I've never tinkered with since I purchased it.

Simple question:
am trying to edit a text layer but i am unable to open the text box to change text.
It creates a new text layer everytime i click on the layer.
Text is allowed only on the outside of a rectangle shape. The text cursor disappears when I try to enter it into the rectangle and when I place it on the edge of the rectangle, it rurns into a slanted "A" and allows texting on the border of the rectangle.

When I insert text with either the TEXT command or MTEXT command, the text is displayed mirrored. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the MIRRTEXT variable because that is used when I'm actually mirroring the text. In my case, the text is mirrored as soon as I insert it. How can I get it back to normal? Is there a variable I'm missing?

i switched gimp 2.6 to 2.8 and new text tool behaves strangely, as i remember in gimp 2.6 when i try to change text content with selecting old text and pasting new text i could use same text size and same font with my old text without doing anything but now in the gim 2.8 whenever i try to change content of a text layer i need to choose again font and text size from toolbox options, but why do i have to do this, i have a text placed on my image with a certain font and certain font size and i just want to alter my text conten not the size of text or font , it changes automatically to back text size and font whatever i used last time in another work.
summary: i want to change my text content without setting my font and font size properties, i want to use my text layers old properties

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen entering text, mega spaces seem to be a default between lines of text. Changing the leading does nothing to correct this.

I have a family photo including many text layers. I'm trying to edit the text in a selected large multi-line text layer. I'm following the steps from the appropriate PSE article, but I always end up creating a new layer and the red/green no-go/go option. I thought I should just be able to double-click the text layer and start editing.
When attempting to add text to a photo, the typed text is not visible on the layer in the "Layers Box" until exiting the Text Tool. Text nexer is visible on the photo Background image. If the edited image is saved, the added typed text is not saved; only the original Background image. How do I reset the Text Tool so it will be functional?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've got some Text Layers in my CS6 document.
In CS5, if I had Text Layers and changed the text on the layer (by double-clicking the "T" icon of the specific Layer in the Layers palette), the name of the Layer would change to reflect the new text I entered.
For some reason this behavior is gone in CS6. So, for example:
• I have a Text Layer with the word "Email" on my canvas. The Text Layer name also reads "Email".
• I double-click the "T" icon of the Email Layer to edit the text on canvas.
• I enter new text, "Contact". The text on canvas updates to "Contact", but the Layer Name remains "Email".
So, for accurate Layer names, I find myself having to change the text twice: once on the canvas, and then manually updating the Layer name as well. Is there an option or preference somewhere that I'm missing that would re-enable the behavior from CS5?
Is there a way to export text from InDesign to Photoshop and preserve the type as editable text in an area text box, similar to the export to PSD in Illustrator? Designed many web site pages in InDesign, and now need to covert all pages over to Photoshop quickly.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having this strange issue with the Photoshop type tool in Photoshop CS5. It might be, although I'm not sure, a bug. The tool itself is working and lets me add text and edit. But the box that shows up when editing text (and the blinking line that shows where I am in the text) - has gone invisible. I am having this issue in only one document. - I tested the type tool on other documents, and everything was normal. I've looked up shotcuts and hotkeys to check if I've tapped a key or something, but it doesn't appear to be so.
Now about the document; it does have quite the amount of text layers, and a lot of text in them. I've tried resetting the type tool, and I've restarted the program.
When I restart the program, the tool works as it's supposed to - but after editing or adding a new text layer, the editing area is gone again! Is this a bug, or have I touched keys that do odd things?

When attempting to add simple text on an individual layer, the layer is turning black. This prevents me from seeing the text I'm editing. When I move to another layer the text displays correctly. When I go to edit the text by clicking the image the layer goes black again. It is like editing text in the dark, turning the light on to see the changes, turning the light off to make the changes, repeat.
I'm wanting to create transparent text over a picture with only the outline of the text showing. So basically, I need to only see the stroke of the text and have be picture show thru from behind.
