Creating abstract shapes in image

How can i make a background image with random shapes like in that picture? Im a noob so idk if im giving enough info, sorry :L

That shot looks like an illustration with effects applied not an effect applied to a plain background.
You can use things like particle generators and fractal noise to generate all kinds of random patterns, but random geometric shapes need to have a source. One source of geometric shapes may be some symbol fonts combined with text animators. There are hundreds if not thousands of symbol fonts that may provide you with the shapes you want. Try a google search for free symbol fonts.

  • Creating multiple shapes out of one image

    Hi!
    I tried several times now, but I just cant seem to get it. I have an image of person, with which I want to crop that person out of the background with the bezier tool. But I need to create multiple shapes to cover some background f.x under his arms. How can I do this?

    You realize I cannot see your screen, right? I do not understand your use of the terms "crop out" and "cover…under hsi arms." If you remove him, how are his arms still in the shot?
    Do you need multiple masks on one layer or do you need a different mask for every frame of video? That is called rotoscoping and is easily researched.

  • LACK OF FULL PEN TOOL FUNCTIONALITY WHEN CREATING A SHAPE LAYER

    Hello, I'm going through Chris Meyer's video course on being an AE apprentice and have spent over an hour on the following issue.
    Here is what I know.
    I know I am trying to create a shape layer, not a mask, to create a frame to surround the video of the green field on the attached screenshot.  Therefore, I pressed "F2" to make sure I am doing so.
    I want to define the borders of this picture frame by using the pen tool to draw a path on the layer entitled "Windy Peak".
    I have highlighted that layer in my timeline.
    This video was pasted on to a placeholder shape that I had created using Command Option "/" on my Mac.
    I do have limited use of the pen tool, because it displays properly when I hover it above the borders of the video to be framed.
    But I lack access to the toolbar controls I want to complete my assignment.
    For example, I would like to create a gradient to define the internal coloration of this frame, but I have no use of the eyedropper when I click on the Color Picker.
    Also, I am unable to access or manipulate any of the standard fill or stroke options for use of my pen.
    This is what I know.  
    Thanks for your help!   Matt
    Message was edited by: Matt Dubuque to add the fact that the video had been pasted on to a placeholder shape image by pressing Command Option "/" on my Mac.

    Thanks for pitching in Todd and Rick, I appreciate it very much.
    As previously stated, I do have use of the pen tool, but it only has limited functionality as demonstrated by the path I created on the green meadow.  My Tools Panel remains activated .
    My core problem remains that I am unable to adjust the fill or stroke settings for my pen.
    I have tried changing and resetting various work spaces and this has not helped.
    I'm scratching my head here.

  • Why do I keep creating duplicate shapes?

    I'm working on reconfiguring a tangram (a chinese puzzle). But when I attempt to move small shapes around the space, I'm creating duplicate shapes. This is frustrating because I had no problems do this earlier. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

  • Holding Shift when creating Vector Shape - No snap to pixels!

    Hi there,
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x64
    Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
    Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
    I'm experiencing the following problem:
    When creating vector shapes and holding shift the shape do not snap to pixel. Snap to pixels is turned on.
    It is pretty strange.
    Please check the video below:
    http://screencast.com/t/1iys3tDJHpJt
    Initially when do not hold shift shapes is pixel perfect. As you can see in the image first 2 shapes are made free hand.
    SK

    Instead of holding the shift key try pressing the + key to change the path operations to Add to Shape Area and the - key to subtract from shape area.
    That is strange behaviour compared to cs5 where having snap to pixels checked for the rectangle tool does align the edges when holding down shift
    where as cs6 13.01 doesn't align the edges when holding shift either with the snap vector preferences of align edges checked.
    It only seems to align the pixels when snap vectors in the preferences is checked and using add to shape area is actually selected in the drop down.
    That's what the plus key does.
    I guess i was under the impression that align edges was supposed to be the same as the snap to pixels was in cs5.

  • Unable to create an encrypted disk image in Lion

    disk utility gives the error Unable to create "Volume.dmg." (error - 60008) when creating an encrypted disk image. I am using the following steps:
        1.    Open disk utility
        2.    Select the disk (internal or external) to create the image on
        3.    Select File>New>Blank Disk Image…

        10.    Click the Create button
        11.    Password dialog appears
        12.    When I enter a password the dialog closes after entering only a few characters i.e. before I've finished typing, and the following error message displays:
    Unable to create "Volume.dmg." (error - 60008)
    I have previously, successfully, created encrypted disk images in Snow Leopard, and I don't know why I can't in Lion
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for this Thomas.
    I've tried naming the image differently, but still received the error, I did however try different permutations for the password.
    The error seems to happen if I use a purely numerical password string and occurs on input of the 10th numerical character, if I start with numerical character but use an alpha before the 9th number I can continue and create a password, and I can create a password  if I start with an alpha and switch to numerals after the first alpha character, purely alphabetical passwords are fine too.
    It seems that Lion doesn't like purely numerical passwords greater than 9 characters, whereas Snow Leopard wasn't so fussy. Seems it's a bit of a bug.
    Thanks for your help

  • Unable to create an encrypted disk image with Disk Utility

    Hi:
    With our upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago, we're now unable to create an encrypted disk image of any type using Disk Utility any more. This problem occurs on 3 different machines, and is reproducible whether one is using an internal HD or an external FW HD. We can successfully create nonencrypted disk images.
    This is a duplicate post with all the details here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18469359#18469359
    We haven't had any luck with a solution trying various permissions fixes as helpfully suggested by other readers in response to the error message # (-60008 error), so I'm hoping that someone else has run across a solution from the encrypted disk image perspective and that this tag line will generate some help.
    Thank you!

  • How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
    So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

  • Facing error in creating a provisioning gold image

    Hi All,
    I want to create one middleware gold image for a middleware home in OEM 12c Cloud Control using Provisiong and patching feature. I have set up one software library. Now while creating a middleware gold image in the subsequent steps I am getting the following error my gold image is not getting created.
    The command "/home/orasoaapp/Oracle/Middleware/utils/clone/clone.sh" was not run successfully. The possible causes are:
    1. All the WebLogic product directories (like WebLogic Server, Coherence) were not installed inside this Middleware home.
    2. In case of Windows, some Java or WebLogic processes were running from this Middleware home.
    mine is linux operating system.
    Can anyone tell me what could be the issue??
    Thanks in Advance!!

    Can you provide some more details on how are you creating your Gold image? Are you creating it from a WLS domain menu?
    Can you also explain the topology of your WLS domain as in how many servers/clusters/number of hosts participating etc?
    Also, what version of OEM are you on? is it 12.1.0.2.0?

  • Hiding the fill while creating a shape (help needed)

    Hi,
    I'm crossing over to Illustrator after using freehand for many years to create my vector art. I'm struggling with illustrator though because I tend to create lines by making a shape. example here http://www.dot2.uk.com/sugar.html So I need to be able to make these shapes while being able to hide the fill. Hope that makes sense. Can you help (What I mean is... When you create a shape using paths, it tends to fill the area as you create it! I don't want that, I simply need to see the path I'm creating and for it to fill once it's completed.)

    There is no real way of doing this except to turn off the fill in some way or crearte the object without a fill and the fill it.
    The way to turn off the fill is without any thing selected go to the appearance panel uncheck from the flyout New Art Has Basic Appearance?
    Then in the appearance panel click on the default fill"s eye icon to make it invisible.
    Now start drawing. if you turn the fill back on the new art will have a fill unless you turn it off again but if you do not tun it on again you can just continue to draw without the fill.
    You can select different fill colors for each object and it will not be visible this way and when you turn on the fills for each object the roper color will fill the object.
    Still I like the method you describe and it would be better to have an option to work this way .
    Ooops all this and of course I did not think of command y.
    The above is only good if you need to see the previously drawn art as is.

  • How do I create a bootable snapshot image of Lion?

    How do I create a bootable snapshot image of Lion?  In the past, I used disk utilities - restore to create a copy of current hard drive on an external drive.  If there was a problem, kids could boot to external and work until internal drive was fixed.  This proved to be a great solution.  On a new Macbook Pro with Lion,  I get an error when I try.  It says to do a restore from the recovery disk, but the recovery disk says it is a limited function OSX.  I would like a full OSX so they can continue to work and even copy files over if the internal disk is suffering intermittent failures enough not to boot but not enough to keep from copying files.  A few years ago one of the kids had a disk/boot failure duing finals but was able to boot from the external hard drive, copy over what he needed and access the internet so that he could finish the exams.  Time machine is great, but there are instances where you need a quick fix to keep going until the new hard drive arrives.

    I do not run Windows, so I have no idea how to handle that type of situation.
    But, just to be clear: disregarding Windows, the recovery option downloads the OS and installs it. Technically, that is not a clone unless you copy the installer and create a bootable OS with it. A clone is an exact copy of your system including all your apps, user settings, files, etc, etc and will exist on an external hard drive in addition to your system on your internal - that is done with CCC or SuperDuper.
    And, a GUID partition is created in Disk Utility > click on the drive > choose Partition > choose a layout other than what you now have > there will be a clickable Options button below. Click on that and you can choose GUID. Note: partitioning your drive will erase everything on it.

  • Pentool in CS5 is not creating a shape

    Hi,
    Does anyone know why when using the pen tool it doesnt convert to a shape. I'm using CS5 which i've only recently installed so I'm assuming something has changed in the way the tool is used? But I can't figure it out. I'm creating the shape all on a new layer (although when i later delete the layer the outline of the shape remains but with no fill, or i can't move it)
    Any ideas would be great!
    Cheers

    Are you using the correct choice in the Options Bar?
