Can you blur vector shapes in Photoshop without rasterizing?

Is there a way to blur vector shapes in Photoshop, similar to the way Illustrator does, without having to rasterizing the layer? I am working with a very large file that has been scaled from 300dpi to 50 in order to manage it while working. I will sclae back to 300 dpi before sending to printer. Rasterized images will soften as you know which i guess is ok when it comes to a blurred shape, now that i think about it. But for future reference?
Thanks,
DM

In the layer of interest make sure the vector mask is selected. Then in the Masks panel adjust the feather slider to an amount that looks right.

    Can you change the shape of a box in Visio? I want to change a process box to a data box without loosing all of my data fields. Silly me I just want to be able to highlight the box right click and change the shape to a parallelogram.

    shape swapping is a standard feature in v2013. In v2010 you can use a 3rd party utility

    How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
    In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
    Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

    You don't.
    It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
    Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
    A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

    3.  Click and drag to create a 9-sided polygon.

    Why can you flip an image in Photoshop, but not Cmera RAW, or can you?  (CS5)

    Doesn't look like you can. I'm just a user, so I don't know why. It can be done in Lightroom if that's any consolation.

  • Can you create cd sleeves in Photoshop Elements please?

    Hi,
    Can you create cd sleeves in Photoshop Elements please?
    Or is there a software that can create cd sleeves, using a template perhaps?
    I can print my own cd inserts (jewel box) but want to create a card cd sleeve.
    Many thanks,
    Ric

    Thanks all - this has been a real eye-opener. There are companies out there who will design & print cd sleeves for you so the tech is obviously there somewhere, but apparently not for home users.
    Never mind.
    In Adobe Elements 8 I can crop or size my own art work how I want it then set the Win7 default printer programme to print say 4 identical images to A4 which when divided up will fit a typical cd sleeve. If i pop adhesive paper into the inkjet i can then stick my cd art work onto the card sleeves. I will buy these but you could make them. So there is a way round this one, it just takes a bit of head scratching?

  • Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?

    Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?   In particular a .8BF plugin like PTFilters.8BF  or Super Cubic.

    If you also have a Photoshop version of the Photoshop application, the answer is of course YES.
    Otherwise, the answer is no,
    If you have the CC subscription, then of course you can install a Photoshop Windows version and run your plug-in.  That'll be separate from your Photoshop Mac install..

  • Can I reinstall previous version of photoshop without uninstalling new version?

    Can I reinstall previous version of photoshop without uninstalling new version?

    I have opened the CC PS CS6 and used the oil paint filter on a photo - no problem. I then opened the new CC Photoshop 2014 and edited a photo - no problem. When I downloaded the CS6 it did give me an additional CS6 Bridge. So far so good, but I will post if I encounter problems.
