[Q] Ellipse tool is not perfect - rotating

Hello.
Today I realized that ellipse tool is failing.
After rotating 2 ellipses that 1 is smaller than the other, their dimensions change.
How?
You can try it by your self, just make as I did in picture, select both circles and rotate them using Ctrl+T with or without shift and watch how it changes size.
I need pixel perfect rotated circle, but from what I see you can't achieve it with PS...

I can't see this using either Elipse Shape Tool nor Eliptical Marquee Tools. I see a very slight change in anti-aliasing from the rotation, but that's it.
What version of PS are you using? And go through your exact steps in creating.
Below is a gif animation of how you described your gif: 200 px grey circle, 160 px colored circle, 15º rotation, 0.5 sec loop animation.
edit:
there is 6 frames with 0,5 sec jump between.
Both circles are aligned on 1st frame, and both are rotated by 15° by step.
So, are you saying your animation is showing 6 rotations at 15º steps? Or just one 15º rotaion?

  • The move tool does not rotate shapes ...

    Hi,

    The move tool decided not to rotate shapes anymore.

  • Sharp Edge using the Ellipse Tool?

    I am using Fireworks 8 and trying to create an atom image but when I create the proton paths using the ellipse tool the edges show up as jagged instead of sharp after flattening the image and uploading as jpg, png or gif files to the server.  I've tried several techniques mentioned in this forum such as feathering the edge, blurring the edge and increasing the resolution.  None of them has worked for me.  Can anyone shed some light as to why the ellipse tool will not create a sharp edge? Is there another way of creating this image using another tool?

    Okay after some more trial and error I got what I wanted by increasing the resolution to 300 and using the following:

  • Ellipse tool not on tool menu

    I can't figure out where the ellipse tool is. I upgraded from Pagemaker 6.5 and really miss it. InDesign CS3 5.5 is harder to learn for some reason. Can anyone help me? Did I need to install something separately?

    It's under the rectangle tool. Just opt+click to toggle through the tools.

  • Ellipse Tool Bug

    Hi,
    I am having an issue with the Ellipse tool. I have drawn a perfect Circle and in Edge it appears that way. However, when I preview in the browser it changes to a rectangle and it changes position relative to the other buttons. See my project below. Any help is much appreciated...

    Hi Adam,
    It looks like the "percent based layout" feature is getting in your way. When I preview your file, the circle becomes an oval, not a square (based on your percent settings).
    You have percent values set for width and height of the circle. Select the circle, then in the "Properties/Position and Size" panel, just click the "%" symbol next to "W" and "H" (width and height), and it will change to pixels, and then your circle won't change to an oval when you preview.
    To stop the circle from changing position, select the circle, then click the "%" symbol under "Properties/Position and Size" panel, next to "L" and "T" (left and top).
    Let me know how it goes!

  • Ellipse that is not filled in?

    How do I draw an ellipse that is not filled in? I want to circle a date on a calender using the ellipse tool. However the tool fills in the ellipse blacking out the date I circled. I am using Mac Photoshop Elements 2.0

    Bryon,
    The reason I brought up my method is in case you really wanted to draw the ellipse using the Shape tool rather than the Marquee Tool. And as Barbara said, this method works for any Custom Shape. While we're on the topic, here's a way to crop a picture into a custom shape.
    1. Draw the Custom Shape (must be solid shape), creating new layer.
    To maintain shape's aspect ratio, hold down Shift while drawing.
    2. To fine-tune position and size of shape:
    Lower opacity of shape layer to see subject beneath.
    Use Move or Transform tools to make adjustments.
    3. Move shape layer below picture layer.
    (If picture layer is the Background layer, must first rename it).
    4. Select picture layer and group it with shape layer.
    5. Use Move tool to position shape over desired location (either layer
    can be active for this).
    6. Link the 2 layers.
    7. Ctrl-click shape layer to select it for copying & pasting.
    (note: to copy, must use Edit->Copy Merged or Shift-Ctrl-C)
    Note:
    If an adjustment layer was first added to the picture before drawing the shape: after step 4 click the link box in the adjustment layer so that the adjustment and picture layers will Move together.

  • Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not auto rotate SOME images.

    Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not rotate SOME of my vertical images.  Most other photos taken in the same time frame and with the same camera display perfectly.
    Orientation is checked for display under Preferences, Metadata, Camera Data. 
    There also seems to be a discrepancy how Orientation is described under Metadata for those images which DO auto rotate : sometimes it is -90 (which is how I hold the camera for verticals and which displays on most verticals) and sometimes it is "normal" even when it has auto rotated the image.   I do not understand this difference.
    "Normal" is also used to describe the orientation of those images which DO NOT auto rotate for viewing.
    The photos in questions were taken using a Nikon D-300 which is programmed to indicate the orientation of the camera and has always been programmed to do so. 
    I know I can manually change the orientation but we are talking about hundreds of images (I have over 10,000 photos in all; most of which display fine).
    What should I be looking for to explain and correct this issue?
    I appreciate anything you can do to help.  Thank you.

    Thanks for responding to my query.  I'll check out the thumbnail size.
    It is just so curious that 90% of the verticals auto rotate and the rest do not.  The ones that do not rotate are even from different years (other images in those years work fine), although all taken with the same camera.

  • No ellipse tool on illustrator trial

    Thank you!!

    I have the same exact problem as the op, with the downloading the free trial and have missing tools, and i have a few questions about your reply:
    Only if you have downloaded the angular only version.
    What is the "angular only" version, is that the trial version? and would you have to pay for the full program to get these missing tools, or is there another free trial version somewhere that i didnt see that does have these tools??
    thanks for your time

    Until you perform the configuration on the AD server, the following message will appear:
    Error: Could not start the SSO service. Please check the configuration.
    So configure the AD server so that the error message will not appear again.
