how do i bend a line in photoshop (trying to draw a spider web)?

Draw the web on a new empty layer  then play with the layer's  blending modes and layers opacity, fill and blend if gray settings. Also try adding layer styles.

  • How to change length of line in Photoshop CS3

    I must be being really stupid, but I can't find out how to change the length of a line I've drawn in PS using the line tool. Can anyone help me out?

    Which type of line did you draw?
    Filled pixels, Shape Layer or Path?
    If filled pixels, then it's just like with any other pixelsyou have to erase them, or or make a selection and delete them. To lengthen, you'll have to use the Transform function.
    If you created your line as a Shape Layer or as a plain path, they are both defining the line as vector elements. If you look very closely, you'll see that the line is actually a thin rectangle-shaped patha boxif you will.
    In this case you can use the Path Selection Tool to select two of the anchor points and move them manually, or you can select the entire path and then use the Transform Path function (Command + T) and input values in the Options Bar to transform the points numerically.

  • How do you smooth out lines in Photoshop CS5

    I have some black and white line art drawings. The lines are not smooth and sharp, and instead have tiny jagged edges. I tried using the smudge tool, and that does smooth out the lines but it also makes the lines a little sloppy. That's probably how the Smudge Tool got its name. Is there a way to use this incredible software to create smooth lines? I've learned how to create paths, but I can't figure out how to use the paths to change the line art. Maybe this is what I'm looking for?

    -Noel
    If I understand your question correctly then the answer is yes. 
    You can create an arbitrary path whose shape, open or closed, can remain editable throughout your session and it can be duplicated if needed.  That path can then be stroked with a pixel painting or editing tool. Lets say you create a new layer and stroke a path with a colored brush. You can then add a style to that layer, move that same path and add a different stroke on a second layer and then duplicate the path, move it and edit its shape and then do yet another stroke and style on a third layer. This is what I've done in the image below showing the stroke & styled paths as well as the vector path in the bottom path.
    Once a path has been stroked to a layer and has had a layer style applied it is only editable as pixels, but the shape remains as a path which can re restroked or moved or reshaped so flexibility is high.

  • How to bend a line?

    Hello,
    All I want to do is bend a line.  I see that I can create a straight line, but is there an easy way to pull parts of the line to make it bendy or wavy?  It seems like a pretty simple feature to have, but I can't figure out how to do it!  Thanks in advanced.
    -TitanVex

    TitanVex,
    To a veritcal straight line, apply the shear filter.
    Filter>Distort>Shear
    If you need to make an arrowhead, not just a simple bend, select the line tool from the shape selection tool, and on the tool's option bar next to "weight" there is an icon. Click on it for the dialog to configure the arrow head.

  • How to create parallel Diagonal lines easily in Photoshop?

    Hi All,
    I want to create some parallel but diagnol lines easily in photoshop or illustrator. A easy to follow tutorial will be fanastic. Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    I nearly always start an angled illustration element on the horizontal or vertical grid, and Free Transfor the angle after.
    If you need several lines then I would tend to use Free Transform step and repeat.
    Show Grid and check that snap to grid is enabled.
    Select Line tool and set thickness
    Draw line in line with the grid
    Free Transform, and move line to the required spacing using the grid as a guide.  Press Enter
    Ctrl Alt Shift t  (or Cmd Opt Shift t) as many times as you need lines
    I would probably make them too long, and trim after any rotation or aother adjustments had been made.
    I don't have or use Illustrator.

  • How do you type multiple lines on a path? (label for top slope of bottle)

    Ill describe the best I can...
    I am making a label that will wrap around the top half of a bottle, the part that slopes to the spout.  Because of this, the label is actually shaped more like an arch so when it goes onto the bottle, it will look more straight.  The top part of the label of course will be a tighter arch than the bottom half.  This is part of why its hard to make things look right.  I know I can bend a line at the same angle and type on it and it looks right but I have a paragragh I have to do this with, about 5 lines worth.  I dont want to have to make a different path line for each one because that would be a nightmare to get each line perfect with each other.  Is there a way to do the "type on a path" to work with multiple lines at once?

    Scott Falkner wrote:
    You can't. Each line of text requires an explicit path. You could draw the top line and the bottom line, then make a three-step blend between the two. Expand the blend then link the paths so that text from path 1 flows to path 2, and so on. In the example below each path is linked to the one below. I only needed to paste text into the top path. I was able to link to each following path by clicking on the red + at the end of the previous path, then clicking on the path below.
    You could also design the label flat and use a distortion envelope or Warp effect to bend it. This is how I have done such labels in the past. That method requires more experimentation, but makes edits easier.
    That seems to be something that might work out.  How do you separate each of the strokes from the blend to make them typable though?

  • How do I add video in my Photoshop images and graphics? I need it to play in Adobe Acrobat when I'm done.

    I designed an electronic press kit and I need the video to play on it. I'm getting the video link from YouTube so I was wondering how to make that happen. I already tried putting the YouTube link behind the video layer so it can be clickable in Acrobat, but when I sent it to the online magazine forum there was a lot of lines in it. I saw this YouTube video on how to do it but it requires ImageReady TUTORIAL-Add video to your Photoshop images and graphics! - YouTube. I don't have the Photoshop to ImageReady button in my PS....HELP! How do I get this done?!?!?

    That tutorial is extremely old. ImageReady was last used in CS2. In other words that program no longer exists.
    Luckily video made its way into photoshop so you can easily import your video into photoshop.
    Instead of an animation panel, it is now called the timeline panel. When the panel first opens it will ask you if you want an animation or a movie. Choosing movie will reduce the number of layers required down to just 2, one for the movie and one for the TV image. Since this is a timeline, you can split the timeline to remove any portion of the video you do not want or need to add an effect to that area of the timeline. Each time you split the video, it will move it to a new layer for you.
    You can still export as an animated gif by using the File>Save As dialog box. or You can export as a movie and choose another video format. Which format and codec you can choose will depend on how many other video apps of Adobe's you also have installed.

  • How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    Thks for the contribution. However, it seems I cannot solve my problem with the kindly proposed solution.
    Let me rephrase my problem:
    I off-line prepare, organize photos and also add manually individual photo captions with PE12 Organizer. In the properties panel, I can check that the photo properties (including captions) are properly associated with the photo.
    However when I upload on Revel -directly with PE12 Organizer (selecting Share/Private Web Album)- these individual (accordingly captioned) photos or albums, I cannot find the photo captions (i.e. the photo caption did not directly show up with the photo in Revel). This obliges me to a double work by copying  and pasting each photo caption.
    Is there any plan to get rid of that ?
    Let me add that I am using the French version of PE12

  • HELP. How do I lock a line to a shape so it will auto extend when dragging the shape?

    How do I lock a line to a shape so it will auto extend when dragging the shape? I cant figure out how to turn this feature on and off.

    Edit: JET got there first but I believe your problem is not as complex as he would have you believe :-)
    Complex? What is simpler for the user than being able to connect pre-shaped text frames (not limited to Illustrator's silly Convert To Shape options) with rules, and then be able to move the text frames and have the rules auto-adjust (automatically avoiding other objects, automatically reshaping right-angle bends, etc. etc,) accordingly. What's "complex" about drawing a flowchart?
    One can properly construct a dozen such diagrams in a program that provides proper connector lines in the time it takes to fuss and twiddle with Illustrator for such a simple task. FreeHand, Draw, Canvas, Visio all provide connector lines features.
    The diagramming features in the draw module of Open Office is as good as any of them for the purpose of mundane decision tree diagrams, org charts, and flowcharts; and OpenOffice can be had for free. The same is true of Inkscape. You can download and install either one in less time than it will take to build a single typical such diagram in Illustrator. Using such tools is vastly more intuitive for a beginner than futzing about with Illustrator's "direct selection" routines.

  • How can I disappear the lines of the grid from the picture?

    Please help!
    This photo was made through a grid.
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/apexivision/4468964280/sizes/o/in/photostream/
    My question is: how can I disappear the lines of the grid from the picture with Photoshop CS2?  Thanks!!!

    Select the offending parts with a fuzzy-edged selection and adjust the curves to get some relief.
    Then Burn and Dodge can be your friends as well.
    Some things that can help:  Make a duplicate layer so you have the original to compare against (and to go back to as needed.  Work in 16 bits / channel and (ideally) at an upsampled resolution.  Add a Curves adjustment layer above with the curves pulled up so you can lighten up the shadows as needed and see that you're getting things right even in the dark shadows.
    You may need to do some selective noise reduction in the places you've enhanced, as the lightening and darkening will bring up the noise.

  • How to correctly use spot colours in Photoshop?

    Hi,
    Using CS2, I've created one of those swooshy Macintosh Panther wallpaper images, with various layers of sweeping lines and tinted gradient arcs.
    Now I want to create the image using just tints of pantone 519 but I'm unsure of how to work with pantone colours in photoshop. I've pulled up the solid coated pantone library and located the swatch, but how do I specify various tints of this colour?
    I've searched the forum and come across spot channels, and have read the photoshop help entry on this, but still can't understand how to do it. From what I've read, I make a selection, then create a spot channel of the colour and set the solidity to 100%. If I want an 80% tint, I just adjust the solidity to 80%. Is this correct, or is the solidity more like transparency than tint?
    In addition, how do I create a gradient between these two colours?
    Final question - I have an element I want to import from Illustrator that uses the same spot colour. Do I have to deal with this any differently to the normal copy and paste as a smart object?
    Sorry, I'm sure this is really quite easy.
    Thanks for any help.
    Steven

    Why not just mode grayscale (or better yet a black and white adjustment layer, then mode grayscale), adjust levels, new spot channel, move dot from gray channel to spot channel? If it was made in RGB 519, your green channel is probably best to make the move to grayscale. If you're working in CMYK, then the magenta channel (unless of course you're using pictures with UCR/GCR).
    <br />
    <br />I guess I don't understand how you can say "I'll set it up best in CMYK" but can't get it to one color.
    <br />
    <br />Here's the tut version using the green channel only. If you do some channel mixing, I'm sure you could get something a little nicer.
