How to create a tv-shaped frame in Photoshop?

I'm trying to create a frame for a photo that has the shape of an old-style TV screen: square, with rounded corners, all four sides bulging out slightly. I've figured out how to create a rectangle with rounded corners, but I can't figure out the bulges. (My PS vector and pen skills are very poor.) A rough sample is below. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop? Or, is there a template available?
Thanks for any help.

I would say use the pen tool to add a point at the center of each side. Select all 4 points then scale outward. If necessary you can use the convert point tool to drag out on each point to smooth the bend. Using the convert point tool, will move both sides of the point to once, other wise, you would be using  the direct selection tool which can drag only one handle at a time, which may make the point not symmetrical as far as the handles are concerned. Having both handles out at the same distance, may make a better smoothing for that point.
But you may also be satisfied with how it looks with out dealing with the handles at all. It is all subject to the eye of the beholder.

  • How to create a fancy picture frame border around an image

    Hi there,
    Does anybody know how to create a fancy picture frame around
    an image that's inside an AP DIV? I want the image to look like

    Thanks a mill for any help!

    Find or use your graphics program to create an image of a
    frame you like.
    Size it so its inside measurements match your picture.
    Option 1 - Paste your picture image on the frame image and
    insert in your container.
    Option 2 - Place your frame image as a non-repeating
    background for your container and then insert your picture.

    Is there a way to create an anchored text frame that flows with the main text and goes on from the top of next column or page with the same type of horizontal alignment?
    I want to create a cuttable and paste-able, title, anchored small text frame and main text unit format that will repeat with different contents with as less manual labour as possible. (There is a simple example of what I am trying to achieve as a screenshot)
    Thanks in advance for any answer given

    One of the limitiations of anchored frames is that you cannot split them or include them in a text thread.

  • How to create an "L" shaped text field

    I need to insert a text field in an Acroform with a label that starts part way in on one line and then continues on the next line, as shown below.
    Is it possible to insert an L-shaped text field? If not, is it possible to automatically move the text cursor to the next field when the person filling out the form runs out of space on the first line? I'm using Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7.

    Actually if you create the form in a Third pary Program called FileMaker  It allows you when you create the field  you can insert the title of the field (which is the same as the Field name) either to left side or above. Then when PDF is created Even though its rectangular shape it will show with question or what ever above the actual acrea that will be filled out.
    Or you can use Word
    In word you
    Create on each line item and set tab for proper distance of each item on line.
    Then go to Format Tabs and set each tab to show underline.
    hit tab just at end of title.
    Set ine spacing to 1.5 or 2
    Next hit return and hit tab number times
    Repeat with each line you may have to readjust tabs in Tab format or drag tab marker in top ruler to desired spacing.
    Hit retun and and hit desired number of spaces
    When finished seting up Form go back to first line with text
    Go to tab format and remove the underline hit set if you have more than one line. When finished hit okay.
    Go to next line with text and repeat removal of underline.
    When finished you should have line that have text only
    And, just bellow lines on spaced so the start just under the text above.
    Now go to Print Menu > PDF > choose Adobe PDF.
    Open in Acrobat in tools click Forms > Create form
    Choose current document
    Then choose to use current document again.
    When finished  The Form fields should be Properly named.
    Edit each field appropriately whether for text or Numbers or Phone numbers or zip codes
    Save under a different name.
    Here are samples:

    http://www.4shared.com/download/z0Yj9Ouoba/Untitled2.pdf Created with FileMaker.
    If you ever want to change form in version created by word and just retype text as desired
    print as PDF under different name.
    Either recreate fields, or if your just changing spelling or added additional text but didn't cahge what it its, choose Replace pages.

  • How to create a jpeg from frame?

    I have several short clips in hd from my digital camera. Can I create some jpegs from them within QT Pro? How? I know how to do it if I import the clips into iMovie 6, but since the footage is in hd, I thought maybe I could get a higher quality jpeg image if I can create it directly.

    Nevermind. Found answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/1956126#1956126

  • How to: Create same size video frames?

    I like to use the effect where I have two different videos that are split on the screen.
    Example: a shot of the bride and groom walking down the stairs from the church and then another shot of people greeting them.
    I like to have these two shots share 50% of the screen each.
    I know how to get the two clips on the screen, but I need a better process for the placement and sizing.
    Is there a way to position these shots automatically? Today I have to manually nudge the frames until they look level and adjacent, and the same size.
    It's even harder if I have more than two clips. I would love to have a grid that I could place them in, and a preset "template" to get them all the same size easily.
    Any advice on how to make this effect a bit easier to accomplish?
    1) Make the clips the same size
    2) Position the clips evenly

    Go into the Motion tab for each clip and set the
    Scale and Center points precisely.
    How about placing the videos evenly on the screen?
    I.e one pic in the upper left corner and the second clip in the lower right.

  • How to create a Contact Sheet with Adobe Photoshop CS5 from a disc with images in different folders

    I got a disc with images files (mainly ai and psd files) in different folders and subfolders, how can I create a contact sheet including all the image files in different folders. (It seems that Adobe Bridge can only create a contact sheet by clicking the image files directly but not a folder including the images files)
    thx!

    Use the optional Contact Sheet II plugin which is found in Adobe's Downloads:
    1) search for contact sheet in PS CS5 help
    2) choose the first result and read carefully about the Photoshop Optional Plug-In Picture Packager
    3) follow the instructions to download the zip file and note the location that you download it to.
    4) follow the instructions to install the files.
    I'm not sure how PS CS5 will handle ai vector image files or if you have to batch convert them to raster images first before using Contact Sheet II.  Contact Sheet II allows you to choose a folder and Include All SubFolders as an option so you could create a Contact Sheet folder and copy all of your desired folders into that folder which will become subfolders of the main folder you choose for your contact sheet.

  • How do I access the preset frames in Photoshop Elements 11?

    I have been using Corel PaintShop Pro 14 and have switched to Photoshop Elements 11.  It came with Preset frames for using on your photos.  I wondered if Elements 11 has the same feature and if so how can I access them?

    Open your image in Expert mode. On the top menu click:
    Window >> Graphics
    In the graphics panel click the second pull down menu (to the top right)and choose frames.
    Scroll through the thumbnails and double click on one to apply to your image. Then save.

  • How to create dotted or dash rectangle in Photoshop?

    Hi All,
    Is there any easy way in Photoshop CS3 or later Extended to create "dotted or Dask" rectangles? I am talking about the border of the rectangle to be "dotted or dash" line rather usual line? If there is any Actionscript (free) that will be fanastic.
    Thanks in advance...

    Photoshop CS6 makes it easy.
    With Photoshop CS5.5 and older, the best way is to make a path in the shape you want, then stroke it with a brush that's been prepared with the proper spacing and direction dynamics to cause the stroke to be dotted or dashed.
    Generally speaking you can find a lot of tutorials for doing it via Google.  What I might do is to search for something along the lines of dashed stroke photoshop, possibly also adding the word tutorial in the mix, then use the Google Images search, find one that looks like what you're trying to accomplish, and click through the Website For This Image link.

  • 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 to create high dynamic range image in Photoshop Elements 2.0?

    I wonder if it is possible to Photoshop Elements 2.0. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    If you are talking about the idea of merging exposures IN ELEMENTS 2 and you are shooting RAW, you can do what Barbara suggests: Open the file once with favorable settings for the bright parts of the image and a second time for the shadows and merge. In Elements 2, the images will not open in 16-bit, and will be converted immediately to 8-bit. You will find that registration is right on, but there will be issues with the process if you want to retain higher bit counts (which to me is really the only way to have higher dynamic range in reality). I don't know where these started to be called 'high-dynamic range', and I think it is really a bit of a misnomer--especially in 8-bit. Even Elements 5 will not support 16-bit images with layers, so the opportunity to get true accentuation of dynamic range is...limited.
