View 4 RepliesI've been following a couple of books on how to transform a selection. I've gotten as far as placing the bounding box and then resizing the selection but when I hit 'enter', the original object is just as it was, and the 'new object' is a resized marching ant shaped object (that you can see right through). I've followed the instructions in two different books (several times!) and the exact same thing happens. Any idea why this is happening? Can anyone tell me how to successfully resize a selection?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using GIMP 2.8 on a MacBookPro with OSX 10.8.
I want to cut and move a selection (and, if at all possible, preserve and then enlarge the selection rectangle to perform a subsequent cut and move operation.)
I've got a graphic, let's say it's a 10x10 pixel square in black. What I want to do is to add a vertical column of white pixels in between every existing column of the image.
What I thought to do is the following: first, enlarge the canvas to twice the width of the image, so 20Wx10T (original image on left, blank extension on right). Now select the rightmost column of pixels and move the contents of the selection one pixel to the right. Extend the left edge of the selection rectangle 2 pixels to the left, to include the newly "blank" column and the next column of the image. Move new selection and contents one pixel to the right, and so on, until the expanded canvas is filled and there are 'blank' columns between every column of pixels in the original image.
However, I am unable to find a way to move the selection and its contents. I've tried every combination of secret handshake I can think of, but none work. I'm able to move the selection and essentially duplicate it in another location, but not by cutting it and moving it somewhere else, leaving the initially selected area blank.
I have to obtain a selection set of blocks (by window selection and/or single-picks if the user desires) and then an attribute value which I have previously assigned to a variable called TAGVAL to the attribute tag name called PARTÂ in that selection set of blocks.
I found a cool routine called RepAtt, but it isn't quite set up to do what I need...
Â
(defun RepAtt (Tag / SourceBlk ValueToCopy SelSet) (vl-load-com) (if (setq SourceBlk (car (entsel "
Select Source Block:"))) (progn (mapcar '(lambda (p) (if (equal (vla-get-tagstring p) Tag) (setq ValueToCopy (vla-get-textstring p)) ) ) (vlax-invoke (vlax-ename->vla-object SourceBlk) 'GetAttributes ) ) (ssget ":L" '((0 . "INSERT") (66 . 1))) (vlax-for DesBlock (setq SelSet (vla-get-activeselectionset (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) ) ) (foreach att (vlax-invoke DesBlock 'GetAttributes) (if (equal (vla-get-tagstring att) Tag) (vla-put-textstring att ValueToCopy) ) ) ) (vla-delete SelSet) ) ) ) (RepAtt "WIDGET");<-- Tag Name
I'm trying to go from one picture to an another picture in the same one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have PS CS2. I tried to make a fireball I ran into a problem. I had to expand it by 5 pixels after selecting it (it was on its own layer). The selection box was the only thing affected by the transformation. I tried the other transformations and only free transform seems to do anything to it. Feather also does nothing to the selection and I have tried doing these steps on different images but I still get the same results . I know it must be a small setting somewhere or something I might have overlooked, I am even thinking of reinstalling

Cut out and realistically transfer this spider (if a zoomed in version is preferred) on to to this wall. If any editing could be done to the actual spider, to make it look slightly different.

I want to rotate something thats already fairly pixelated (but its fine because the character is in constant motion, and fairly small) but rotating something 45 degrees makes it all blurry and whatnot. In this particualr frame of the characters animation, i am going to have him be still, so it will be very noticeable if i left him this way.
I know i cant expect perfect transformation because of the shape of pixels, but what is the best way to go about this so that the image comes out fairly crisp.
If its not too much to ask you to explain it to me in detail because i dont know my way around photoshop too well.
The character itself is done, im simply adding sprites that make the character have unique introductions when he faces other characters. Anyways, if anyone is interested, heres what my guy looks like in action. As you can see, his pixels arent too noticeable, only in that frame that i posted earlier.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've used photoshop for a long time, and dragging/transforming something to it could be snapped either to document bounds or guides has been simple and straightforward.
Â
Then photoshop got all newfangled and complicated, trying to be too clever, and ever since trying to e.g. drag some text layer so it would be centered around a guide, resizing a shape so its bounds would snap to guides, has become almost impossible to accomplish. It's almost it's trying to snap my layer to some invisible guides that aren't there. What the heck is going on?
Â
I'm having to spend a lot of effort actually trying to make it pixel perfect, accurate, center aligned, zoom in so I can see the pixels, and resize. It's almost as if the guides have no effect on the "snappiness" of the layer when transforming it.
Basically I am trying to warp a pattern about it's centre point, in a radial manor (the pattern file is obviously square in photoshop). If you imagine the pattern on a planar surface, the warp that I am trying to achieve is as if one were to grab the central point of the surface and pull it directly away from the face - see image below for visual aid...
Â
I'm trying to achieve a pattern that is a flat file, but looks like you are looking directly at the end of a pointy end of a cone that used to be a flat surface with the pattern on it.
I have created a new layer mask of an image, but when I use the free transform tool to resize it so it is smaller, there is a faint grey outline left around the image. Why does this happen and how do I get rid of it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I move and rotate a surface along with its survey points and breakline definitions, and then rebuild, my surface gets thrown off double the amount I’ve transformed it. I go to surface properties, and then under Definition, an operation type shows how much I moved it. if I uncheck it, the surface pops back over the points and lines where it should be (where I moved it to). why is this transformation making itself happen again?

I've then extruded them to the 5mm as required by the design. I'd like to understand how to 'bend' the side panel so as to attach it in 3D to the base but I haven't a clue as to how to go about it.
Attached are jpgs of the plan and NW views of the base and side together with the .dwg itself.

Where do I find this feature?
I have a group called "grey button" with a text layer ("ok, got it") and a shape layer ("large grey") within in it. Sometimes the two elements within the group show up in the layers palette, sometimes they don't. Sometimes when I click the drop down for the group folder, it looks to be open but nothing shows beneath it. Sometimes when I can get the items within the group folder to show beneath the folder, then close the dropdown, the folder looks closed but the elements are still showing beneath it.Â
