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.

  • Help creating clipping path???

    I have a wreath I would like to use as a picture frame and have Adopt Photoshop Elements 6 ... how can I create a clipping path to make this possible? Thanks. Gary.

    Well, I can make the frame within photoshop and make it blank, but I want to use this as the frame for several pictures, so I want to be able to have the center cut out and import into Quark and put the pictures below this in Quark. I don't want to put the pictures in in Photoshop. I was also unable to select the simplify option in photoshop elements but somehow got the inside cleared out. How can I make a clipping path in photoshop elements or how can I make this work so that I can put my picture behind the frame in Quark. Thanks for your help.

  • How to create search path for the file on the desktop..

    hello experts..
          I have used gui_upload module to upload the data from flatfile to the internal table, in that how can i create search path for the file selection in the selection screen, also please help me the code to update the ztable.
    thanks

    HI
      If iam not wrong you want to select a file from a location that you don't know so if this is ur problem then use the function module
    F4_FILENAME
    this FM helps to locate and select the desired file from the system.
    Sample code that you can check is
    How to get windows filename
    PARAMETERS: lv_file LIKE rlgrap-filename.
    Method 1
        CALL FUNCTION u2019KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4u2019
        EXPORTING
        MASK = u2019,.txt,.*u2019
        STATIC = u2019Xu2019
        CHANGING
        FILE_NAME = LV_FILE.
    Method 2
    CALL FUNCTION u2019F4_FILENAMEu2019
    EXPORTING
             program_name = syst-cprog
             dynpro_number = syst-dynnr
             field_name  = u2019 u2019
         IMPORTING
             file_name   = LV_FILE.

  • 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

    don't want anything past the edge of the button to be visible - how
    would i do that in fireworks
    correct me if I'm wrong, but that would be a clipping mask or
    clipping path?
    anyone know of a good online tutorial or how-to guide for

  • Lipstick font type or how to create lipstick font type like in this image

    looking to create a font type like this. Any suggestions how?

    Nothing will look as good as doing it by hand, so unless there were a lot of text, I'd do it that way.
    Here's a nice font in that vein, though:

  • Create clipping path from selection

    I'm driving crazy!
    Why this script does not work?
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
    tell current document
    make work path selection
    make clipping path (path item 1) flatness 0.5
    end tell
    end tell
    The work path is created with no prob.
    But the clipping one returns this error:
    "The command »Define« is not avalaible"
    What's wrong?

    I've found the solution!
    You have to name the work path to memorize it in order to be able to create the clipping path.
    This is the code:
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
    tell current document
    make work path selection
    set name of path item 1 to "Détourage"
    make clipping path path item "Détourage" flatness 0.5
    end tell
    end tell

    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.

    Barry

  • At open, illustrator puts clipping path on images and slices it up HELP!

    I am still using CS2, but this same problem has happened when I open a legacy (older version) file in CS4.....   When I open a file, it all of a sudden has a clipping path around the image.  Also, it is slicing up some images randomly.  It is very strang and I can't explain it.  I just saved and closed the file yesterday and today I go to open it on the same computer and all the photos have these clipping masks around them and some are sliced into multiple pieces.  Can anyone help with this???

    It's easily explained: It is opening the data as if it were an EPS or PDF, so the fault is probably with the options you chose when you saved the files in
    CS2. Check them. also of course keep in mind that some specific features have notably changed, so it may do thius simply to retain appearance, which you can influence by setting teh respective prefs....

  • How to create Clipping Masks with Shapes and Text?

    Hi there! I am new to Illustrator and am currently attempting to learn it. I am creating a logo that has text and has a shape that goes through the text to make the text appear as if it has claw marks in it.
    I have two layers. The layer with the shape "claw" marks, and a layer with the text. The shape layer is currently above and the text layer is currently below. If I select both layers and click on Make Clipping Mask it has the text displayed within the little claw marks, how do I reverse that? Because when I try to change the order of the layers it doesn't clip anything?
    Thank you so much!
    Aaron

    Hi Monika,
    Sorry for taking so long to reply... This is what I am trying to accomplish. I tried following your directions above, but that only made the text invisible and I tried moving the claw layers above and below the text... and it only appeared as if the claws per se were filling up with the text color.
    Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
