Create an "O" with paths in Photoshop

I'm doing a custom vector logo, and I'm having trouble with the O. It fills in completely when I convert it to a shape or fill in the path.
I have two vector circles in the correct place, but they must not be linked or something? Is there some way I can link them so that it only fills in the ring between the two circles?
I have a B in the same logo and it's working. (the spaces in the B are not filled in)
Thanks!

Select the two paths with the Path Selection Tool and set the shape area option to Exclude overlapping shape areas.

Trouble with clipping paths in Photoshop CS5

Hello everyone, I am having trouble with clipping paths in Photoshop CS5. When I start a new path both path and anchor points are not visible. working on a Layer not background 0 and a Path Layer was created.I've also noticed that Photoshop started running pretty slow. All other programs are fine. Any Ideas or suggestions? Thank You

What do you mean by "a Path Layer was created"? Path are in the path palette, there is a path in shape layers and they is a path in a vector layer mask. I have never seen a reference to a path layer before this. When a path in the path palette is selected activate it wall also be shown in the image window. Does not matter if there is a targeted layer or not. Control points may or may not be displayed. Using Path tool you can select and select segments and show some or all control points, Path are editable.

Can I create a Smart Collection for images with Paths?

I'd like a folder that automatically collects any image i have in my library in which i've drawn a vector clipping path in Photoshop. Is this possible?

I couldn't figure that out.
I was hoping the file would contain a metadata call that said "Path: yes" or something like that on which I could set up the smart collection but I couldn't find one either in Lightroom or Finder.
It's possible this piece of metadata doesn't exist, and if so I'll solve my problem with keywords, but I wanted to ask before i assumed.

[CS6] How can I move shapes (created with paths)?

[CS6]
I created shapes with the pen tool.
Then I selected the path selection tool and selected a path.
Clicked right mouse key, choosed "Fill Path..." or "Fill Subpath"
(don't know what it means). After filling with a color I get an object in
the form of the path and I can move the path to another place.
But I can't move the object in the shape of the path.
I can't move it with "Path selection tool" because it's no path.
Then I tried the "Move Tool" but I also can't select the object with it
instead the whole canvas is moving.
How can I select and move shapes which were
created with the pen tool?

You've drawn a Path then filled a region of a pixel layer.
To make Shape layers, use the Pen Tool in "Shape" mode set in the Options bar.
If you really do want to draw a Path and use it to create moveable pixel shape then do the fill with an empty layer targeted.

How to create "Fisheye Effect" with Photoshop 10, on a Mac computer

How to create "Fisheye effect" with Photoshop 10 on a Mac computer?

One way : use the filter : correct camera distortion. Move the remove distortion slider towards left (barrel distortion)
Or, first increase the canvas size to a square format bigger than the larger dimension of the image and play with the filter : distort, spherize.

Version Set is not created when editing with Photoshop CS4?

Last week I was working in PSE7 and opening files into PS CS4 for editing. I open the files by clicking the Open with link and choose Photoshop. I edited several dozen photos and when I closed them from PS CS4 Version Sets were created in PSE7 like they should be. At some point that stopped happening. Now when I do as before and open the files into PS CS4, edit them, and then close them the Version Set is not being created in PSE7. I look in the folder containing the files and the file has a new modified date but it still has the same file name instead of being saved with the - edited name as before. Does anyone know why the version sets are no longer being created when editing with PS CS4? I can edit the files with the PSE7 editor and the version sets are created as they should be. Thanks!

Okay so tha there is no misunderstanding here is exactly what I'm doing. From the PSE7 Organizer I select a photo (file name Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg) and click the Fix tab. I then click More Options and select Photoshop. The photo opens in into PS CS4. I make my edits click the x on the tab to close the image and I'm asked "Save changes to the Adobe Photoshop document "Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg" before closing?" I click Yes then click OK to save the image at maximum quality. I go back to the PSE 7 Organizer and there is no version set. I check the folder the original image was in and see the original file Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg with a new modified date and time. I can even choose Save As from PS CS4 and it asks me if I want to overwrite Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg and I select Yes, but I get the exact same results. Thanks!

Creating packages with path's

Can I create a package with a full path? i.e. the exact location of the package?
Maths in "C:\java\maths> "
so that... even if a package wishing to call it is not in the tier bellow, it still refferences it.
Additionaly, when creating a package, can it be created with a full file path? I am still having problems with accessing classes in the same package.
Any ideas?
Cheers

so that... even if a package wishing to call it is not

I'm new to Photoshop CC and trying to create a collage with 16 pictures. Help

I need help in creating a collage with 16 pictures.

So you created a document 192000 pixels wide, and 108000 tall, and set the type to be 2 inches tall. Yes, the type is going to take a few minutes to render in that document.
Yes, you created a document much bigger than you probably intended (you probably wanted 1920 PIXELS by 1080 PIXELS).
Pixels and inches are not the same, and you need to pay attention to the units.

How do I use a shape as a Path in Photoshop?

i've tried creating a path in Photoshop and tried dragging the shape from the library but it will not drag to a path. When I drag a shape to a layer in Photoshop it is rasterized.
How do I get a shape to go onto a path in Photoshop? Also, If this can be done, will the path still be editable with points and handles as is normal for paths?
TIA,
Ken

How to use imported paths from Photoshop/Illustrator as motion guides

Hi folks,
I've been raking the internet with no success for an answer to my question, but I've had no luck so far.
What I'm hoping to achieve animation wise is to have a shape move around a set path that was created in Photoshop. The reason being, it's a very specific shape (near enough a square but with curved corners and a chunk missing out of one of the sides), and I used the paths feature in Photoshop to create it and stroke the path for the smoothest possible effect. What I'd ideally like to do is import the same path I used to create the shape into Flash Professional CS6 and then use that same path to guide a small symbol around the edge of the square.
So far, I've worked out how to apply motion to a symbol through basic tweens, and then I can draw out a line using the pencil tool and apply that to the tween so it follows the pencil line instead of just going from point A to point B. The problem is, this looks awful...I'm not good enough with a mouse to create absolutely perfect shapes freehand, so I just want to be able to use the Photoshop path as my motion guide instead of having to make another one from scratch.
I've looked around for various importing methods, the most success I've had is exporting the paths to an Illustrator file, and then importing the Illustrator file into Flash directly. However, I have NO idea where these paths go when they're imported, or how to access them. If I import them to the stage, they seemingly disappear before I've even seen them, and if I import them to the library they just aren't there.
I could also do with a brief description of how paths work in Flash - I'm familiar with the Photoshop layout, what with the paths appearing in a panel next to the layers one (makes perfect sense to me, as you can just switch between the two panels to view whatever you want). I just don't understand how they work in Flash and what I should be looking for....
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Todd

I had a play around with some variations of this. What I can't grasp is why Flash won't recognise my shape layer as a motion path. I've tried breaking it down, that doesn't work... I traced it narrowly in Photoshop and imported it as a thin line with a gap (so essentially a line with two ends), and it comes into Flash as a bitmap or something of that sort. I found an option that traces the bitmap, and appears to convert it into a shape layer...I've managed to find the optimal settings so the line is joined all the way through apart from the start and end points. The only thing is, Flash seems to not even notice this as a guide layer when I apply it to the symbol I'm trying to animate. It just doesn't even notice it's there. The object moves straight from point A to point B in a straight line, the guide layer does nothing to adjust the motion... Is it not possible for the traced line to act as a motion guide? It's a shape, it is a single line with a start point and an end point, and there are no other instances of anything else in the layer - just the line and nothing else.
This seems way more difficult than it should be...I'm sure Adobe could have integrated a MUCH easier system for importing paths from Photoshop that actually exist in Flash rather than disappearing into some abyss instead!
Here is a screenshot of what I'm working with: http://gyazo.com/4c1046767e1ee8bf99f65751b9ba81b8
The long black oval is the shape I'm trying to animate. I've tried applying tweens to it while it's in shape form and while it's in every different symbol form, all to no avail.
The black line is what I'm trying to use as the guide. Having looked online, people seem to be able to just use the "paste in place" option and it somehow knows exactly what they mean and animates around the line perfectly. I tried that and it didn't work (no surprise there), and then I tried the motion guide layer setup and it also didn't work. I'm not sure if tracing a bitmap into a shape layer somehow removes any possibility of the line being recognisable as a line or something...could that be the case?
Is there a simple way to turn a shape layer (in this case the black line) into a motion guide that I'm missing? I thought just turning the layer into a guide layer would do the trick, but obviously not :/

Importing a path into photoshop

I created a path in Photoshop CS6 and exported it as a "Paths to Illustrator" vector file to the desktop. Now I want to import the path into another PS file. How do I do this?
I cannot copy and paste the path as I no longer have the original file that was used to create the path. This seems to be a simple task that I'm sure used to be easily done by importing the path in older versions of PS.
Thx

Photoshop Is not a file editor. You can add path to a photoshop document several ways. When you have the path in one open document you can Create a custom shape and then use the shape path in any document using the custom shape tool. You can drag a path for one document's path palette and drop it onto an other open document. You can insert the path into an action step and that step will inset the path into documents the action is used on. You can save custom shapes and action with insert path steps a copy the saved file onto other machines and load them into Photoshop.. When you save Open documents that have path some file formats support paths and will save paths in the saved image file. When those file are opened in Photoshop the path will be in the open documents paths palette.
I have never used illustrator however if you have the AI file and illustrator there may be a way to open the .AI file in illustrator export the path to Photoshop, It may have an export path to Photoshop or perhaps you can drag and drop between applications. However I don't know all I know is Photoshop has a menu File>Export Path to Illustrator. However the is no menu File>Import Paths from illustrator. When I use menu File>Export Path To Illustrator Photoshop saves a *.ai file. If I drop the file on Photoshop Photoshop want to open it a s rasterized ESP document in CMYKt and there is no Path in the paths palette.

Letter with paths??

Hello
This letter can do with paths?
How to do it with photoshop cs6?
Thanks and Happy New Year 2013
Photoshop cs6+ windows 7

Pen tool is going to be your friend...
Place the letter on its own layer and lock it.
On a new layer trace with the pen tool then between the pen tool {p}and the direct selection tool {a}you can manipulate the path until it looks like what your after.
To speed things up, you can convert the letter to an outline first. {Layer>Type>Convert to Shape or Layer>Type>Create Work Path depending on which you want}

How to create a report with different page sizes

Hi,
I would like to create a report with different page sizes, it's possible to do it with diadem?
When I change the layout parameters, changes afect to all sheets...
Is there a way to change page size individually for each sheet?
Thanks in advance.
Marc

Hi Marc,
You can use the DocStart and DocEnd commands along with the PicPrint command to spool multiple print commands to the same output PDF file using the direct printer approach. This should enable you to programmatically specify the page size differently for each sheet that you add to the print job.
' Print PDF Page by Page.VBS
OPTION EXPLICIT
Dim i, Path, OldPrintName
Path = AutoActPath & "2D Stacked"
Call DataDelAll
Call DataFileLoad(Path & ".TDM")
PDFFileName = Path & " Page by Page.pdf"
IF FileExist(PDFFileName) THEN Call FileDelete(PDFFileName)
OldPrintName = PrintName
PrintName = "winspool,DIAdem PDF Export,LPT1:" ' Set to PDF printer
PDFResolution = "72 DPI" ' "2400 DPI" , "default"
PDFOptimization = TRUE
PDFFontsEmbedded = FALSE
PDFJPGCompressed = "high"
PrintOrient = "landscape" ' orient paper
Call PrintMaxScale("GRAPH") ' auto-max, see alternative margin setting variables below
PrintLeftMarg = 0.181
PrintTopMarg = 0.181
PrintWidth = 10.67
'PrintHeigth = 7 (read-only)
Call WndShow("REPORT")
Call DocStart ' Begin multi-page document/print job
FOR i = 1 TO 4
Call PicLoad(Path & ".TDR")
Call GraphSheetNGet(1)
Call GraphSheetRename(GraphSheetName, "Page " & i)
Call PicUpdate
Call PicPrint("WinPrint") ' Add a page to be printed
NEXT ' i
Call DocEnd ' End multi-page document/print job
PrintName = OldPrintName
Call ExtProgram(PDFFileName)

How can I create an iridescent effect in a Photoshop 3D object?

How can I create an iridescent effect in a Photoshop 3D object? I have searched everywhere for downloadable option for a mac with no luck. I'm working with CS6.

NO way. Such stuff isn't even commonly available in many 3D programs becaus it's actually pretty advanced shader stuff...

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time. Here's the link if you want to see what I'm talking about: 2015-2016 Workload Apportionment Review

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.
