Xara :: How To Create Curved Color Spectrum
Oct 11, 2011
I'm trying to create a curved "spectrum" of color to use behind the numbers on a gauge.I first tried a linear fill, going from green to red. It's easy, but it doesn't produce the yellow in the color transition.
Next, I tried placing swatches of colors and then using the arch as a mask ... but it would only pick up the solid colors, so there were no transitions. Is there a way to bend the straight color spectrum bitmap shown in the graphic?

For some reason I am unable to create text to follow a curved path. For example, I created a simple curved line using the shape editor tool. After selecting the completed line I select the main text tool (the other text tool, fit text to curve, is grayed out and not selectable). However, wherever I insert the cursor along the curved line I still end up with a straight line of text. After much experimentation I still cannot figure it out. I know I am leaving out a simple step.

I need to do a job which consist of a high-quality print of 14cm high x 1100cm long os the color pectrum. the color spectrum order would be: black -> purple -> dark blue -> light blue -> dark green -> light green -> yellow -> orange -> red -> and again dark purple.
Like a big long gradient line from the spectrum as we see in the colour pallete.
I do't have a lcue how to do this, can someone help me in a detail tutorial?
Ps.: I have Photoshop CS3

I am switchin over from photoshop and would like to do the following
1) Select a color: I have a logo with a green and red text and would like to select only the green text. The logo is a flat file so I do not have access to the text-layers. (In Photoshop I would now use the "select color range" tool)
2) Keep the selection of the color active (as a selection)
3) Create a new overlay-layer and fill the selection with a blue color.
How would you do this in Xara Designer?

way to create a curved box. So instead of being a straight-line box, its lines a curved.
Currently, I am using Pen tool to select the curved area. However, Pen tool is tedious to use and the lines are not curved smoothly.
is there any other way to create curved shape apart from Pen tool.

I am trying to show that an object rotates by drawing a curved arrow beside it.
I am using PhotoShop LE which I hope has enough of PhotoShop's abilities.
Is there some way to draw GOOD curved arrows?
Freehand is a total bust!
The manual shows nothing that I can find.

I am attempting to create curved text in GIMP. Here are the steps which I complete:
1. Create a curved path
2. Type the text
3. Click text to path
This all works fine, except that it doesn't give me all of the text along the path. For example, if the text is supposed to read "Church-wide Picnic," it will only give me "Church-wide Pi."
I have created the path all the way across the screen and made the text as small as possible, and it still does this.

I created the following image some time ago and can't remember how I created the lines.
I know that I definitely did not use the pen tool; it was some kind of tool where I could draw a straight line, and depending how far across the image the line was, the more round it became.
Essentially, it was like a line tool that would warp into curved lines.

I am having trouble trying to make a curved window frame, I can't seem to think how I can offset or make a smaller version of the outline of the frame so that it can become a 3d solid.
The picture seen below was created using the arc and polyline tool, autocad won't let me join these lines either!

I am using a very old version of Photoshop (i.e. Photoshop 6.0).If it is possible to create text along a curved path in Photoshop 6.0 (Windows)? If so, how?Note that I do not want to create wraped text (using Arc etc.).
Specifically, I want to type text along the lower half of a circular image.checked various blogs that show how to do that for more recent versions (or MAC version) of Photoshop.

Using pen tool I have to press Alt + click again at the node while drawing to create a cusp node.
My method is - Select Pen tool - left click for first node and drag to achieve desired curved segment - release mouse button - press again left click for second node at desired position and drag control handle to create desired curve - then Alt click at second node for cusp node - continue in this fashion for rest of the curved segments as shown in my example.
Is it possible to draw and edit control points for a cusp, smooth or symmetric node simultaneously in a single stretch while drawing curved segments with some other shortkey combinations but without pressing again S for smooth/symmetric or Alt click node for a cusp or F10 for edit later?

I've read the posts pertaining to coil features along curved paths. The existing solutions are limited in that they must rely on a solid with the addition of a bend feature. How can I create a helical surface structure including multiple bends like the one shown?

Usually, when you check the 'dashed line' option on the stroke pallete, you will instantly create a dashed-line stroke on the selected path. What I don't know how to do is retaining the straight property of a dash on curve parts of the path.

I'm doing a photo trace in Photoshop using the pen tool. The lines, they are gray. Some of the photo is gray. This makes it a little hard to see the adjustments when using the direction points to adjust the curves. Is there a way to change their color? I'm working in a work path in the paths box.

I have a grayscale image that I want to apply color to. I know how to do that by just colorizing it, but instead, I want to apply a color for the whole document. I know how to do this if I want it to be, say, blue (where black is 100 percent of my blue and 50% gray is 50% of my blue, etc.). But, what if I want a unique gradient across the image (where 100% is blue, 50% is 50% red, 10% is yellow, etc.)? How would I do that?
