Adding text to a 3d object...(perspective question)

Hi I have had to create a graphic of basically a cube, I now need to add text to the side of the cube to make it look as though the text is printed onto the side of the cube. Ive been trying to use the scale tool but cant seem to get it even nearly right....is this really such a difficult fiddly procedure or am i missing something? Thanks in advance.

Create a Symbol from the text object. Use the Map Artwork feature of 3D Effect to map the Symbol onto the desired surface of the cube.

I'm adding text to a photo.. Trying to get an S to lay down

I'm adding text to a photo and can't get an S to lay down?

I'm guessing on what you are trying to do, to some extent, but see if this helps. Your photograph will have a horizon, and perspective. For instance, if there are any buildings in the image, lines drawn through the top and bottom edges of the building, and extended to the horizon, will always intersect at the same point. If you lay down some guides as shown in this illustration, and overlay some perspective lines with a 1 pixel line, then use the resulting box to Free transform the letter S to.
It is _much_ easier if you Rasterize the text layer, because that will cause the Free Transform bounding box and handles, to fit tightly around the text. Otherwise the bounding box will be larger than the text to include descenders and risers for the font used.
So with guides and guide lines in place, and the text rasterized, use Free Transform, and hold down the Ctrl (Cmd) key will dragging the corner handles to the intersect points.
In the illustration I have made a nice simple concentric perspective, but that probably won't be the case in your image. But if you use clues from the image, you will be able to work out its true perspective. In fact I rarely resort to using guides, and just do it by eye.
A little tip when doing this is to make the object a Smart Object before using Free Transform. The reason is if you decide to tweak the perspective and use FT a second time, with an SO layer the handles will still be in the corners. A normal layer will now have the FT handles square to the document edges, which makes it much more difficult to refine the shape.
BTW Thanks for asking a proper, interesting, question about using Photoshop, as opposed to the usual 'My dog has eaten my serial number' posts.

Text wrap in anchored objects

In order to place text boxes relative to the spine, I have placed them as anchored objects.
But now, these text frames do not respect text wrap setting from objects outside of the anchored object.
I have made sure that ignore text wrap in text frame options is not checked.
Is this a bug?
And does anyone know a workaround?

In order to make my design indifferent to later added pages, I have placed all text frames and graphic placeholders as anchored objects, positioning them relative to spine.
When I now place an object on top of such an anchored text frame, text wrap is not working, even if i overide the master page item.
The only work around I have found is to copy the respective text frame and make the original master page item unvisible.
Is there not another way to to this?
For me, the best would be another way of placing text and graphic frames relative to spine.
Bus as soon as one overrides the master page item, the object is not placed anymore relative to spine if another page is inserted.

Adding text to a photograph

Hi,
My question is in 2 parts really:
1) Once the photos are uploaded into iphoto, is there anyway of adding text to the photo? Say a title, or details of something about the picture that I wouldn't want to forget? If so, how can I do this?
2)My camera has the ability to add text to pictures. If I did this, when I came to uploading them into iphoto, would the text come with the pictures, and if so, where would it be displayed?
3)When exporting the photographs, to share with others or print, would I be able to disable the text, so it doesn't show on the photograph?
Thanks very much.

in iPhoto there are several ways to add information about a photo - a title - a decscription - keywords - putting it in an album = these are all metadata and local to your computer - you can choose to include or not include them when you export a photo
if you want to actually put text on a photo then you must use a thir party program (Preview can do this - Annotate) or external editor - one you add text to a photo it is there and the old information behind the text is gone
as to what you camera does - read the camera manual - if it puts text in the EXIF ro IPTC fields and if iPhoto reads thos fields then that information will be part of the iPhoto database - it it puts text directly on a photo then it is part of the photo

Hi,
I tried to add the text using the same piece of code at the place where i used to add straight lines.
The piece of code is exactly same as urs.
Shape3D tmpShape3D = new Shape3D();
PolygonAttributes tmpPolygonAttributes = new PolygonAttributes();
Appearance tmpAppearance = null;
Transform3D tmpTransform3D = null;
tmpShape3D = new Text2D("Hi ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", new Color3f (Color.red), "Arial", 30, Font.BOLD);
tmpAppearance = tmpShape3D.getAppearance();
tmpPolygonAttributes.setCullFace(PolygonAttributes.CULL_NONE);
tmpAppearance.setPolygonAttributes(tmpPolygonAttributes);
tmpTransform3D = new Transform3D();
tmpTransform3D.setScale(0.5f);
tmpTransform3D.setTranslation(new Vector3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f));
TransformGroup tmpSingleComment = new TransformGroup(tmpTransform3D);
tmpSingleComment.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_READ);
tmpSingleComment.addChild(tmpShape3D);
bgRed = new BranchGroup();
bgRed.addChild(tmpSingleComment);
bgRed.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_DETACH);
bgRed.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_WRITE);
bgRed.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_READ);
bgRed.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_EXTEND);
transsceneWF.addChild(bgRed);
Here every time i have to create a new BranchGroup (bgRed) for each Text i add. Earlier in this place i was adding my lines objects depending upon there start and end possition.This was just to test.Also it does not thro any error or exception while adding text nodes.
But i am not able to see any text. can u telll whats wrong in this.....

Adding URL to a 3D object

Hello,
I have 3d model from Microstation saved in format u3d. I create 3D pdf from this model. Now my problem is:
- I need insert URL to this model
(This should go with JavaScript, but I don't now how)
Second question is:
- is possible default disable some layers of the model?
(All the layers are by default activated)
Thanks

"- is possible default disable some layers of the model?
I do not know what the layers are. Some Microstation term?
But nodes in 3D PDF model can be switched on and off -
interactively, via annotation properties (node dictionaries) or JavaScript." -
Yes, layers are "nodes" in Acrobat. I know how switch on and off this nodes interactively, but I need some nodes deafult switch off. When I open my model, every nodes are switch on...
JavaScript is maybe solution, but I don't know how to do it.

I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

HT3459 Why is my added text disappearing when transferring a quicktime video from my Mac to my iPad 2?

I have a .mov file. (Quicktime video - edited in Quicktime Pro) I transferred it to another computer, via it's public folder, so it would be on the computer where my itunes library is. No problem. I transferred it to my iPad through iTunes. The video transferred and plays. Soundtrack that I added is also intact. Problem is, I have added text to the video and for some reason the text does not show up on the ipad (but does on my computer). Any suggestions?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Photoshop CC : Workspace Flashing Black When Inserting Guides & Completely Black When Adding Text

I recently bought Photoshop CC (2 Days Ago) and shortly after installing I jumped onto Photoshop CC and started to set up the prefferences for my personal use and started to just do some basic stuff and see whats new in CC. when inserting Guides & adding Text the workspace started to flash/stay BLACK. I don't know whats going on but my specs are better than the minimum requirements? Any idea whats going on? Operating System : Windows 8.1

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

How can a text box overlap an object?

I have a 1TB late 2012 iMac. Yosemite version 10.10.2 is installed.
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVDIA GeForce GT 640M 512MB
How can I place a text box overlapping an object?
I have pasted a photo from an email into a Pages document and I'd like to put on top of it.
I have tried as many Help topics as seemed relevant, but 'Move Backwards' and 'Move to front' are greyed out.
I have been confident using this technique with Mountain Lion, but now I'm stuck.
I am old and self-taught.

Assuming you have Pages 5.x
Click on the object > Toolbar > Format > Arrange > Stay on Page > Text Wrap > None
Now you can move it. It probably was inline and part of the text.
You can not move it under the general body text however, unless you move it to the Section Masters in which case it will appear on every single page of that Section.
You will need to create a Textbox to put your text into and move that on top of the object.

How can I remove the underline from added text for tracing edits

We have a lot of content that includes underscores and when we use the track text edit feature added text is green and underlined. How can I change the properties of the added text to not be underlined?

Starting with FM11, you could specify a custom colour to be used for track changes, but the styles (underline, strikethrough) are still hardwired.
Even if you try to make the changes to the rack text edit conditions in a MIF file, they will get overwritten as the MIF is interpreted when opened by FM.

Is there a way to edit text in a smart object brought in from illustrator?

Is there a way to edit text in a smart object brought in from illustrator? Many thanks for the help!
And can anyone recommend learning resources for someone (me) who is an AI user for a decade who needs to work in PS for web mockups? Something other than a basic PS tutorial. Something geared towards that specific task. I'm not a PS beginner - but have mostly used it for photo correction until now.
Truly -- thanks! BTW - I'm in the CS 6 Suite and CC will not be available to me.

OMG! When I went back into the ai file and made sure that the text was on it's own layer (which I had not originally done) I could indeed edit the text in the file when exported to ps! This is a perfect solution for this situation. As far as the person I'm working with - who fears ai more than anything - I can work in ai - which in many ways is so much less cumbersome than ps - and just export - clicking "preserve" layers & text editing! I hope this helps someone else! Sisham - many thanks for your help!

Adding Text to a photo...Need help

I'm new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. I'm following the instructions for adding text to a photo, but I can't see what I'm typing. I can see the cursur, but nothing else. I can see the text in the Layer, but not on the photo. Please help.

Check the font size in the options bar. If it's really small you won't see it.
Look in your layer's palette and insure your text is in a layer located above the photo in the stack.
You might also check your image's resolution in the Image Size dialog. I've seen a couple of posts where someone changes the resolution to 1 with resample turned off...then can't see the text because it's too small even when they have large numbers inserted in the font size box.
