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

Have you tried googling »photoshop watermark tutorial«?
There used to be a Watermark Panel available.

    how do you use inspirion 13 7000 stylus with adobe photoshop cc? Doe anyone know how to use the stylus on this dell 2 in 1? I was told by dell that you could use the stylus to edit in photoshop but its not working-

    You are asking a huge question. You'll get a better response if you ask something specific about a problem you are having with layers.
    I'm not trying to be mean but you can find vast amounts of basic info on layers with a simple Google query. If you click the Video link after inputting a search query, you can even find video tutorials.  YouTube  is one place that has quite a few video tutorials.
    How layers work hasn't changed between Elements versions.  Layers work the same in Photoshop. The application interfaces may be slightly different but layers are layers.
    FWIW, I'm not a big fan of the manual. You're better on getting something like "The Missing Manual" by Barbara Brundage or looking for info on the Internet.  One free resource with tons of info can be found here:
    http://www.garymgordon.com/misc/tutorials/photoshop_tutorial/elements/psE_intro.htm
    The tutorials found at the above link use an older version of Elements so you won't find info on the newest tools and features but the basic Editor info on layers and the tools still apply.

    For a crisp border of any color or any size, Just expand the "Canvas" by 0.5 inches or whatever dimension your file needs.

  • Java Application [Java Bundler]: how I can use an image? Which path?

    Hi,
    how I can use an image in my Java Application when I create the jar bundle with Jar Bundler? Which is the path of the file? I don't know if I got it across...

    By image, do you mean an icon for your program?
    If so, then you need to create the image you want using any graphical drawing program, then use a utility such as Img2icns to put the image into the correct format (.icns). Once you have this, you can drag it into Jar Bundler and IIRC it just works.

  • How can I use my shape as an outline and color in the blank spaces in between?

    It looks like it's reading the outline as both outline AND filler.

    You would have to restore you iPhone to factory settings, if you can not do this from your pc try it on another computer with iTunes (one you have never sync'd with). After you have restore to new it should remove the passcode (and all other data on the phone), then simply plug it into the computer you normally sync with and restore from back up.
    Edit: Try restoring in recovery mode first (if you do not have another computer near by), the link for restoring in recovery mode is below.

  • How to create a hidden shape in a photograph (illustrator/ photoshop)

    Hi,
    I'm new to illustrator and even newer to photoshop so I'm not sure which would be suitable to acheive the look I want. I have searched google endlessly by cannot find the tutorial I need.
    I have a photograph, and I would like for a shape (say a triangle for arguments sake) to be on the photograph. I would like the shape to have no fill or stroke as such (so the photograph is uninterrupted), but only to be visible due to the part of the photograph that is within the triangle being slightly different to the rest. Examples would be that the triangle may have a slightly different texture, be black and white, or be magnified slightly etc?
    If anyone can get me started as to the direction I need to go it would be greatly appreciated. Any examples would also be great so that I can see if it is actually the result I'm looking to achieve.
    Thanks in advance.

    That effect would be easier to do in photoshop, since it is an image.
    Basically what you would do is create a path instead of a shape, found in the top tool bar when you use one of the shape tools.
    This path can then be turned into a selection this selection will be the only area affected, or better yet jump the selected area to a new layer then you can apply styles to that layer.
    ctrl-j (windows) cmd-j (mac) to copy the selection to a new layer
    ctrl-shift-j (windows) cmd-shift-j (mac) to move the selection to a new layer
    If you move the selection to a new layer, then you can slightly move the location a hare which can help in giving it a puzzle look.
    Any more questions about photoshop would be best posted in the photoshop forum. Photoshop General Discussion

  • How to cut of rectangle shape to create bracket in Photoshop?

    Make your rectangle shape.  If you want it to be perfectly square, hold down the Shift key while you drag.
    Make your two text layers using the centered text alignment option.
    Select the entire canvas — Ctrl a (Cmd a )
    Select the Move tool and then select the rectangle shape and both text layers.  You should see matching ants at the edges of your image.
    Click on the Align horizontal centers icon in the Options bar. The rectangle and text layers will now be centered vertically in the image.
    If you want the box centered width wise, select just the box layer, and make sure you still have the matching ants at the image edges.
    Click on Align vertical centers second icon from the left in the strip above.
    You will need to align the text layers to intersect the horizontal lines manually, but if you hold down the shift key while dragging, they will not move sideways.
    Nearly done.
    You still need those marching ants at the screed edges (Ctrl a).  Go Select > Transform selection You will now see handles on the selection.
    Hold down the Alt (Opt) key, and drag either the central handles on the vertical sides towards the middle of the box. Both sides will move symmetrically.
    When the select is a couple of mm clear of the wider text, click on the tick icon on the Options bar to OK it.
    Make sure just the box layer is selected, and add a Layer mask. This will actually hide the bits you don't want hidden, so last step.
    Invert the layer mask Ctrl i (Cmd i)

  • How do I resize multiple shapes and their paths?

    I can only ever resize the shapes one frame at a time, will I have to remove the keyframes and do them again?

    Tweens are designed to animate a variety of properties, scale being one of many. If you click on the symbol and resize it, then go several frames and resize it again, you'd expect Flash to animate the resize, right? That's just Flash doing what it's supposed to.
    If you go inside the symbol and resize the contents it will do what you want.

    George,
    I believe you are correct in saying that there is no way to link directly to a specific anchor tag within an html file from the context help.
    I would encourage you to visit our Product Suggestion Center if this is a feature you would like to recommend that our R&D team consider for future versions of LabVIEW.
    Is it possible for you to create a .chm file?  Or perhaps you could have some kind of "table of contents" at the top of your .html help file.  This would require an extra click by the user but may be an option for you.

  • How can you bend an image round a path in Photoshop?

    Hello I would like to know how to bend an image to follow a particular path or shape in Adobe Photoshop CS4. The Warp tool produced the closest results I was aiming for, however it is difficult to shift one part of the image on screen without interfering with another area of the selection using this feature. I understand you can create a design in Adobe Illustrator, add it to the Illustrators brush toolbar and apply it to a determined path, although the toolbar does not appear to accept images. Could anyone help with a solution? (I am using Adobe Master Collection CS4). Thanks in advance

    although the toolbar does not appear to accept images.
    As it should be. You create wrap/ envelope objects for this in AI, but that's best discussed in their forum. Other than that I'm not aware of an easy way to do this in PS. using warping and distortion effects is indeed pretty much what you do...

    In using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional I have added oval shapes to a form, but they do not print.  How do I get all shapes to print?
    I am using a Dell PC with Windows 7 Professional as the Operating System.

    File > Page Setup = Scale
    The Scale control is what controls the size of what is printed to paper. 100% is usually the best setting.

    To check the existence of records and only process if records exist. You can use the following condition in the Decide shape, which checks for the count of records to be greater than zero. If this statement
    return true than process the outbound message as show in the below Orchestration image.

  • How do I join two letters using the shape builder tool?

    I am making a sign for my logo. The 'i' in my script face is long and overlaps the following letter which the sign maker's router will not read. So I would like to be able to use the shape builder tool to join the 3 instances where the letter 'i' appears each to the following letter. No luck so far. I have turned the type into points. I have highlighted the first instance, 'i' and 'c'. but the shape builder tool shows a circle with a line through it... not working.
    Anyone have an idea?

    It may take a combination of some of the Pathfinder tools, such as: Intersect, Merge, and Unite.  And, it may be a matter of manually going in and deleting some anchor points in the outlines.  Do some experimenting on copies of the instances.  Might be a process of elimination.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
