I often have trouble bending shapes with nice gradients, typically a tube on technical concept drawings
I'm using a workaround of adding lines on top of each other with gradually brighter colours feathered but it's not really elegant and there are issues at the end of the lines.
How would you this if I want to keep the nice gradients and the tube needs bending?
I am creating a design which uses an elliptical fill. When exported as a .pdf and opened in Illustrator, the fill is given the name "non-native art" and is rasterized. My question is this: if the print job were for the side of a van, could XDP be used to do this and retain a pure vector output?

Let me know if I can upload images, pdfs, more info, etc
I have been working with Xara for two days now, and it's great! I am using the trial version of Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 9. I created a file with a couple of transparent shapes (love the transparency tool - so easy!), and it looked great. I exported to .pdf, and the transparent gradient was all gone. The shapes are there, but have no gradient whatsoever.
I also exported it as a .jpg and the gradients are present in the .jpg. In other words, the .xar file looks great and the .jpg looks great. Just the .pdf doesn't work.
I click the gradients panel and then the dropdown of gradients on the left side.
All I see is: White Black, Gold Dust, and Blue Sky.
I know AI has a ton more gradients premade than that so why aren't they in the list? How do I add more to that dropdown?
how to make CURVED plastic and/or glass-looking pipes?In case I've been unclear, I am referring to those like the ones in the VB Skins Banner above, or those found on the left side of the TeamPhotoshop homepage (not to be confused with the Forum mainpage)I looked all over google, using tons of keywords, including 3d, glass, plastic, tubes, pipes,curved, and so on.

I'm new to PSP and trying to fathom out tube transfers. In my tube folder there are quite a few tubes, but mainly on sheets of say 12 or more individual tubes.
How can I take one of those tubes from the sheet of say 12, because at present if I try to bring a tube into PSP, the whole sheet comes in.
I have lots of picture tubes from an old version of PSP. I now have PSP X5. What is the correct format for the pictures? I have both psp and tub.

I need to find out how to make those Glass/Plastic looking tubes like the one on this sites homepage. Not the Forum main, but the Team Photoshop homepage.
I can Make them by hand, but time is of the essence, so shortcuts would be great.I know they're a little, um... Passe, but I think they'd can make them work on a project I need done TOMORROW.
I am modelling a Domestic Pump with tubes hanging out of them (I've made the model of the pump itself already), the tubes themselves is what I want to animate.
how to make the tubes using the Line Tool and increasing the thickness which would result a nice long tube However my problem is, is that how do I get to have the Line (or Spline?) directly attached to a certain point on my Domestic Pump model to make it look like it's part of it and moves along with it (and not having to keyframe it's movement precisely and all the time)? in addition, to animate it afterwards as well without it being detached from it.
If any of you are having difficulty imagining what I'm talking about, think of it as a Hoover (Vacuum Cleaner) with a Hose Pipe that needs to move freely through the use of a
I am having trouble getting my tubes to show up in the Tube tool drop down box. If they are downloaded with the .tub extension they show fine. But if the need to be converted they don't work. I've tried 2 different converter programs and couldn't get them to work.
I used PSP5 a long time ago and used a converter that worked great. Now can't seem to get anything to get my downloaded tubes to register in my Tube Tool .

I've got the layer with a bitmap and now want to bend it like that " \_/" . The transform options in "edit ransform" do not seem to be able to handel this kind of manipultaion.
if there is a technique in Photoshop that will allow you bend a straight line, but have the curves is the line be smooth.
I tried Filter --> Distort --> Wave and Filter --> Distort --> Shear and it did bend the line, but the curves were jagged. Looking for smooth lines.
way to bend a picture so it follows a path. Kinda in the way you can make text follow a patch, except with a picture. I'm designing something that will fit in a perfect circle, and I have a logo at the top, but I would like it to follow the curve in the upper part of the circle.

I am looking for a macro to bend text, objects, grouped text & objects, bitmaps, etc. quickly and easily. i've used the envelope tool to bend text but if i'm trying to bend something other than text then it doesn't work. say, for example, i have a bitmap or gif image and have typed some text below this image then grouped them together. normally, i would convert it to a bitmap, into CMYK color, then edit the bitmap (adding additional space at the top of the image/text to accommodate the room needed for the bend by going to Image --> Paper Size --> Bottom Center --> and increasing the height by ~10%). then i go into the Effects --> Distort --> Shear and actually perform the bend.
Any existing macros which will perform this function?
