Fish Eye Lense path tool

I need help with the fish eye path tool. I have followed the tutorials online and from the instructions I am not getting it. Drawing an eclipse ect. Just dosn't work. Anyone know where I can find a video tutorial?

You need two paths; the one you want to distort and the ellipse which
creates the distortion.
I suggest setting no fill to the ellipse so you can see the effect
easily when it has been applied.
If you are distorting text, it must first be converted to paths. Auto
shapes and the rectangle tool must be ungrouped first before the
effect can be applied.

Free fish-eye reduction plug-in for PS CS3?

This article http://photo.net/learn/fisheye/ talks about a fish-eye reduction plug-in for PS called Panotools. I follow the link but I don't see the particular tool. Any recommendations on a plugin, or how to do it in PS CS3?

PTLens is a Photoshop plug-in that can be used to de-fish images to a great degree:

It's main use is to remove pincushion and barrel distortion for lenses it knows about, but it has a fisheye mode.

Offset path Tool versus Object menu and Effect menu

After a strugle with the ofset path tool I find the solution...
Offset Path in the effects menu acts totally different thean ofset Path in the Object menu WHY?
What happened;
Offset path in the effects menu gives you a centerline with offset path which isn't modifiable..
for in stance in my kind of work i want to create a paralell road on one side of the main road.
the offset path in object menu gives me the right result, an offseth path which I can cut and modify.
It should have been easier if the different behavior was in an offset Path tool menu...

Offset Path in the effects menu acts totally different thean ofset Path in the Object menu WHY?
Because the command in the Object menu is a straightforward path-modifying command. You select something, apply the command, and the result is a new path.
Everything in the Effect menu is, in Illustrator parlance, rendered as a "live" effect. That is, the program creates the modified version sort of "behind the scenes." That lets you continue to modify the original path, and the Effects that you have applied automatically re-apply on-the-fly. So instead of Offset Path giving you an new path that you can no longer manipulate as if it is one stroked path, Effect>Path>Offset Path lets you continue to work with the single path without having to start over every time you want to change it.
An Effect can be "nailed down" to "literal" new objects by using an Expand command.
Offset path in the effects menu gives you a centerline with offset path which isn't modifiable..
The offset path is "modifiable" in that you can change the attributes of the Effect any time you want. The offset path is also "modifiable" in that you can re-shape the path to which the effect is applied, and the offset path updates automatically. That's a good thing.
for in stance in my kind of work i want to create a paralell road on one side of the main road.
So when you're done manipulating the orginal path, and you now want to "nail down" the offset path as a separate path that you can modify, select Object>Expand Appearance.
the offset path in object menu gives me the right result, an offseth path which I can cut and modify.
Yes. But it's frankly rather lame. That is, if you now need to bend the whole road in another direction, or alter one of its curves, how are you going to do that for both sides of the road at the same time? With Offset Path applied as a live effect, you can. With Offset Path already Expanded, or applied as the older...uh...dead...command, you can't.
So it's your choice. The interface is needlessly awkward and confused, because when Adobe adds new features it seldom does a good job of integrating them with the existing features. So you end upon with both the older and newer features which essentially do the same thing. That's the nature of Illustrator--it becomes increasingly inelegant, cluttered, and confused over time.
One example to the contrary: CS4 finally did away with the separate Filters menu, which was just the old, "literal" versions of most things in the later "live" Effects menu (all of which can be turned into "literal" versions by an Expand command). It was hideously confusing for newcomers to Illustrator to see the same things listed in two menus, one labeled "Filters" and the other labeled "Effects." On the face of it, what's the difference between a "filter" and an "effect" in most people's minds?
One case-in-point example: The Effects menu has a list of Pathfinder Effects that mirror the names of the command that reside in the Pathfinder Panel. But they do different things; they are meant to be applied to different kinds of objects.
Such is the nature of Illustrator. It's a hodge-podge, grab-bag collection of scattered features which are often redundant and often poorly integrated with each other.
It should have been easier if the different behavior was in an offset Path tool menu...NO! The last thing this program needs is more off-the-cuff, willy-nilly, ad-hoc palettes. It needs a thorough interface overhaul, with a dedicated and careful eye toward concise elegance and organizational efficiency. That would be a very ambitious undertaking because the program has been allowed to become such a rat's nest of disarray.

Path tool CS5 verses CS6 ?

When making a circle or a curved section. I used to be able to grab the line segment between the 2 points without the handles rotating and effecting the previous shape of the line. In CS6 the handle rotate and change the shape of previous line. Is there any way to make path tool behave like CS5?

If in photoshop cs6 you select the Path or Direct Selection Tool and check Constrain Path Dragging, does that make a difference?

Fish Eye Hemi plug in does not show in filter list of Photoshop 11

I cannot get Image Trends Fish Eye Hemi plug in to appear on the list of plug ins-filters in PSE 11. I used to use it in PSE 10. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

If you already ran the installer, then you can go to
(i don't why the installer doesn't see pse 11)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Image Trends Inc\Hemi 1.0
and copy the three plugins highlighted below to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins

What happened to freeform path tool?

one used to be able (Ps-CS6) to draw multiple lines and then stroke them all at the same time. but, in CC 2014, one can only draw/stroke one line at a time?
say whaaaaaat? (O.o;)

more tolerable than not being able to use the freeform path tool. (^.^)
btw, i have another open discussion about CC 2014 not playing nicely with the radial menu of my Intuos 5 (pro)...perhaps you could look at that and offer thoughts?
thanks again!

InDesign Type on a Path tool not available in toolbar

My InDesign 6 does not have a Type on a Path tool. The type tool icon in the tool bar does not have a fly-out option where I should be able to find it. I'm pretty sure it was there at one time. Any suggestions on how to restore this?

Thanks for the help. Using the Cleaner Tool and then reinstalling worked.
I must say though. Although I wanted to just clean the Indesign app. I ended up having to clean the entire CS.
I tried using the Enterprise Clean Tool to just select Indesign, but had trouble following the directions on entering code into Terminal.
It would be more user friendly if when you open the Cleaner Tool app it would then ask you what App(s) you want to clean.

How export to NCapture in a *.NEF file? (fish-eye)

It is for me strange why LR, if you right click on a photo and then click on Edit with NCapture.exe, lightroom export the picture to a *.tiff format....
Now i can't straighten the photo in NCapture using an Fish-eye lens. I don't like that.... Now i have to do an extra handling...
Do i miss something?

No, you didn't miss anything. Simply open Nikon C or X and load the file. Save it. Reimport. Yes it is more work, I guess.
What am I missing? Since you know you have fisheye shots that require you to use NC, why did you not do all of them in NC before you imported to LR?

Reset Default Stroke and Fill on Path Tools

DUH! I've only done this task a million times before, and now I’m flummoxed. About the third weird thing in as many weeks . . .
Here's what is what: a file I've used before with no problems, suddenly will not let me reset the default settings of no fill and 1 pt black stroke on the path tools. I know how to do it - make sure nothing is selected and then reset the default. Easy peasy.
After I reset, it shows the default settings everywhere (tools panel, control panel, swatches panel) then after drawing the path, the object has no fill and no stroke. I've reset many times and finally understand the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result!
I've also tried creating a local defaul with a Cyan fill and a Red stroke, and everything looks good to go, until I draw the rectangle. Then it's no fill and no stroke again.
I'm almost embarrassed asking this question, but now I’d like to know if there is an answer. Is it possible the file is corrupted? If so, is there anything one can do to save the file? I tried doing a Save As and converting it to CS6 but that didn’t work. I’ve rebuilt the Preferences (again).
Thank you (she says, sheepishly)
P. Bell

Thanks, Michael.
You got me thinking about the Object Styles.
I went in and found the Basics Graphic Frame was messed up, so I Redefined the Style and now everything is working.
I needed some fresh perspective. Thanks to you and Bhatnagar for responding to my question.

Slow, Blinking, Sluggish, Vector Path Tool

I am having problems with very sluggish tool performance in
both Fireworks and Flash drawing tools. I shyed away from
Macromedia applications in the past due to their sluggish, awkward
interface. I don't think any of that has improved.
So someone give me a clue as to sluggish tool peformance. For
instance, when using the Vector Path tool, it feels heavy and
sluggish and very innacurate and takes forever to update a stroke
let alone it blinks on and off as soon as I select the tool.

Lens Profiles, have issues with the Fish Eye lens profile.

So this weekend I had a lot of fun backing up 56,000 images onto a brand new 4 TB Seagate external hard drive, I previously had them on a smaller external. Anyway, I noticed when I went back into LR that some, not all with no rhyme or reason, that the image would change ie. in the Lens profile I noticed that the value went from whatever lens I shot with. To of all lens profiles the Fisheye Profile. I started going back in and changing the profile back, however I noticed that you can only change one at time. Even when I change one back, copy it and sync only the image I choose last would change. If I have to go in and change ever image that happens too, Yikes !!!
Does anyone have any ideas maybe deleting the fish eye profile, if I could find it?
Thanks,
Doug

Yes, if a profile can be found that matches, it will be applied, at 100% for all three sliders.
Conversely, if you for instance don't want your fisheye to be defished, you open an image taken with that lens, move the distortion slider to 0%, and save that as a new default. Now, "Auto" would put the distortion slider at 100% while Default will leave it at 0%.
If you don't make any changes to the standard settings and don't save any new defaults, they are both identical.
Hope this makes sense.

Can LR CC stitch fish eye photos?

Wondering about lens profile and spherical stitching support for fish eye images. Any improvements here in latest CC?
[Moved from the generic Cloud forum to the specific Program forum... Mod]

Got it - from Grid view, drop open Quick Develop module on left panel and choose from the "Saved Preset" drop-down.
THANKS! It's not as fast as the original, but I can get used to it. At least the functionality didn't totally disappear.
