How to create a octagon shape

or where can i find it ? I've tried looking under decorations.
Is it posible to create one without using adobe photoshop ?

Hi odsnot,
You can change object (or background) colors by using the tools palette.
Go to View > Tools Palette to make the tools palette visible on the screen.
(take a look at clipboard01.jpg and clipboard02.jpg)
Have some fun while you're at it. =)
You can use the "Reorder" button on the top panel (clipboard03.jpg) to change the position of your objects on the front panel, much like how you would arrange objects in MS Powerpoint or MS Word.
Hope this helps!

How to create clipping paths shape like a slice of a circle?

I want to make a DVD label by dividing the circle into 8 equal slices (like cutting a pie 4 times). In each slice I will put an actor's photo in it.
I think I need to create 8 layers to house the 8 slices of photo, each layer gets a clipping path that is in the shape of a 45 degree slice of the circle. Once I have this setup I can paste photos into the layers and adjust the photos until it looks good in the confine of each slice.
The question is how to create these clipping paths in the shape of a slice of the pie? I have already drawn a 120mm circle (using the elipse path tool) denoting the outside boundary of the dvd label. But I don't know how to cut it into 8 precise slices of 45 degree each. Help?

Here's another way:
Make a circle and a square that covers one quadrant of the circle. Select the square with the Path Selection Tool. Edit > Free Transform, using the reference point that corresponds to the center of the circle, and 90 minus the angle of the slice into the Horizontal Skew field. Hint: you can copy the results from the Windows Calculator and paste them directly into Photoshop for this. This will give you greater precision that you might care to enter by hand.
Once you have committed the transform, select 'Intersect shape areas' in the option bar for the Path Selection Tool, and click Combine. There's your slice.

Hi sz,
Although the Numbers User Guide (which you should find in the iWork 08 folder in your Applications folder) does say, "You can also drag an image to mask a shape with an image," I didn't have any success when trying to do so.
The best I was able to do was to place the pie chart in front of or behind a tomato image, then set the transparency of whichever was in front to allow the other to show through. Although I'm not really happy with the result, here's a sample, with the chart in front. The chart's Fill has been set to None, and the opacity of the 'slice' colours has been set to 30%. The colours used for the slices are shown in the chart's legend.
You might achieve an improved result by experimenting with the colours and opacity settings.
Regards,
Barry

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

Creating a Gradient Shape

Some time back I asked how to create a gradient shape in FCPx. I appreciated the answers, but none of them were clear to me, and I have not yet been able to pull it off. Wondering if anyone is interested in making a short tutorial showing how to do this? I am simply after a rectangle that has a linear or radial shape using color point values on the gradient as required, preferably values that can be eye-dropped from elsewhere on the screen.
Thanks!
Geoff

Probably the most general way to do this would be to create a generator in Motion, but...
Here is a way you can do that, using only content already available in FCP X.
In this, I will use the "Shape" and "Gradient" generators.
1) Place the Gradient in the timeline and adjust as desired.
2) Place the Shape generator ABOVE the gradient. Set the fill to white and turn off the Outline in the generator part of the inspector.
3) Click the video tab of the inspector and under Compositing set the Blend Mode to "Stencil Luma"
4) By now you will have the shape filled with the gradient and the rest of the frame black.
5) Select the shape and the gradient and hit option-G to turn this into a compound clip. This will confine the blend mode set above so that it does not affect any clips that lie below the shape and gradient, maling them visible behind the shape.

How do I use shapes I create in Adobe Shape?

All the shapes you create with Adobe Shape are stored in a CC Library. This means you can access them in other desktop, mobile, and web apps. Detailed instructions below.
How to access your shapes in Creative Cloud
Desktop: In order for this to work, you must have the most recent version of Illustrator and Photoshop.
Open Adobe Illustrator on your desktop.
Open the Libraries panel (Windows > Libraries)
Your shapes should be present in your Libraries. If you don’t see them there, select the libraries drop down to see if you saved your shapes in a different library.
Now, you can drag the shape onto your canvas.
At this point, you can continue working with your shape, by adding editing. Or, you can simply save the file. Of course, after you save it to your desktop, you can email, post online, etc.
Mobile apps:
Open Adobe Illustrator Draw and open a drawing.
Tap the Shapes icon to open the Shapes menu.
Tap a library name to view the shapes in the Creative Cloud Library. Tap Change Library to select another library.
Select your shape by tapping on it.
Active Slide or Tocuh Slide. You can use Adobe Slide or Touch Slide to place the shape on the canvas. Access Touch Slide by tapping on the circular icon at the top of the menu bar.
Place the shape. Once you have activated Touch Slide, you will see a light rendition of your shape on the canvas. Simply double tap on the shape outline to stamp the shape in place.
Web:
Navigate to https://assets.adobe.com/
Select the Libraries menu item (left menu on the page)
Select the desired library (if this is your first time using Libraries, you will only have one).

How to create a shape based on the shape of an image

I want to erase a portion of a mask based on the shape of an image. how can i do this? btw how to create a circle? thx

Both your questions leave room for imagining what you might really mean, but here's a shot at answering them.
If you have a mask that you want to erase portions of based on an image... assuming the mask is a simple rectangle you drew with the rectangle tool, change the opacity of the rectangle's fill in the color panel to make it see-thru, place the mask over the image, and using the eraser tool, erase the portions of the mask that you do not intend to retain using the image below it as a guide.
As for drawing a circle, hover over the rectangle tool and a menu should appear. Select the oval/ellipse tool. To draw a circle, hold down the shift key and draw just as you did for the rectangle. The shift key forces it to retain equal width and height.

When creating a rectangle shap, how to manually set dimensions

I am creating a rectangular shape with the tool (U).
How can I manually set the dimensions (height and width).
I know I can see the dimensions with the info button in the right side bar, bug I want to edit those values.
Is this possible?

You can set the dimensions before using the rectangle tool in the
tool options bar (fixed size).
Or you can change the dimensions after, by using the move tool or Edit<Free Transform Path
and entering the dimensions in pixels (px) in the width and height boxes.

How to create an image with a transparent shape

Hi
This should be easy -
The end result I want is this:
a png which is mostly black (or any colour) but with a defined shape in it which is transparent.
I have the shape. I select it. I seem to be able to make a mask from this (a selection which I can copy and move about). But what I can't figure out how
is how to create a new image which is filled except for this masked area which is transparent
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

How to create these shapes in photoshop?

For my PhD research, I would like to construct 3 kinds of images on photoshop. I want to transfer it to the piece of glass where I will conduct some experiments. If you please help me to construct such kind of images on photoshop, I will remain thankful to you:
Image 1:
This is non uniform kind of a pattern in which different shapes of pentagons/ hexagons etc are situated at different intervals.
Image 2:
This is the regular pattern. I dont know how to create it. Also if I can change the thickness of the black shade, what I need to do?
Image 3:
This is a pattern in which we want to connect the different size balls to the neighbouring ball. Please note that the thickness of the line is varying and the size of the balls is also different... Please note also that I want to populate this configuration randomly.

They are probably all better done in Illustrator first.
I will post some examples of what you might do tomorrow.
For instance though not quit right the technique is good.
1. I drew a rectangle with gray fill no stroke.
2 Then rasterized the rectangle
3. Applied a Object>Object to Mosaic and chose to delete the raster
4 Applied a roughen effect to it
5. expanded the object and made some manual moves for some of the resulting objects
6 Made a black rectangle large enough to encompass the art and sent it to the back
7 I selected all and with the pathfinders minus the front.
and used it for a clipping mask
8. Made another rectangle
You can now probably bring this into Photoshop and so some more work on it and you are fine.
Now you will have to experiment with the adjustments for the Mosaic and the roughen and might want to add an effect or two.
Oh yes I also used the alignment panel to redistribute the objectsI am not certain that is hepful.
I may have gone too far with the roughen filter.
