Rotating and Centering Masked Text

I'm in the process of creating a textual watermark for my photos in photoshop but have come across a big problem. I am using the horizontaly text mask tool but I cannot rotate nor center (both horizontally and vertically) my text before turning it into a layer. If I rotate and center the text after putting it into a new layer it wont work since the text will move and leave the writing embossed onto the picture. Any help is kindly appreciated !

Do not use Mask Text use a Text layer set its fill to 0 and give it a layer style.

Trouble with mass amount of text and clipping mask - please help!

I have a curvy vector image that I want text to appear in, then create a clipping mask. When I try this I get a message saying that the text object is extremely complex and might not print. The file is impossible to move around and sometimes crashes my machine.
Here is a screen cap of what I'm doing:
http://www.aaronpenton.net/mask.html
I blocked all the text so there's just a ton of it.
This is for a large graphic (22') that will be placed on glass.
Is there a better way to do this? Or a way of making the file more manageable ?
Any help is much appreciated.

>I have a curvy vector image that I want text to appear in, then create a clipping mask.
Inaccurate description. You are using the text as a clipping mask for the image. That's a lot of text, which means a very complex compound path with tens of thousands of points. No wonder this is slowing things down.
Try using the text as an opacity mask instead, then flatten transparency. Keep a copy of the text and a copy of the wave on hidden layers so you can go back and edit the text or modify the path.

Print Module: Auto-Rotate to fit and Photo Info Text

When in the print module with "Auto-Rotate to fit" selected, A landscape images correctly rotates to fit the page, but the text that is selected in the "Photo Info" setting does not rotate. Thus, the text appears along the left side of the image .
Any suggestions to get it to appear correctly on the bottom?
Also, Font size is selectable but not font type.

I have a PDF with a diagram, I need to translate the text so I open it in Illustrator. The document opens up vertically oriented I try to put it horizontal to be able to read and change the text However everything I have done is not working The artboard does change, but the diagram stays vertical.....Please help I need to finish that for today..Please help

A PDF usually consists of one to an indefinite number of clipping masks inside each other.
You need to be very carefull with selecting stuff.
So you need to read the manual on how to select stuff and on the basics of Illustrator.
On top of that: because of the complex hierarchy of PDF files, it is kind of difficult to help you without seeing anything.

Aligning two divs and centering them.

so i am running into one main issue with my website. As of now the only two things on my site are a gray image and an image slider. I managed to get them into the same div and next to each other but i need them to both be static and centered by the webpage. I have put them into the same div with class="col-xs-6" and what you see happened. I know that my slider is responsive. They basically need to be next to each other and centered. I am new at making websites but this would help me a lot.
My site: http://rootforsite.azurewebsites.net/ (f12 for code)
I just need them next to each other and centered. Any thoughts?

Ease of rotating and cropping images in CS6

There is much I like about the new crop: Rotating the image instead of the box is SO much easier and the straighten option is a great time saver.
But in one instance, I'm finding cropping in CS6 to be harder: Cropping images that are not correctly oriented in the first place. Rotating an image 90-degrees was a snap in CS2: Alt-I/E/0. The shortcut keys are gone in CS6, so using the rotation command is no longer quick.
But I can do it in the crop box, right? True -- but not easily. The image is landscape, the crop box is portrait. With the crop tool selected, holding the shift key down to get fixed-increment rotations doesn't work: Pressing the SHIFT key changes the cursor from rotation to the crop cursor. To get the rotation, I have to start rotating the image and then press SHIFT to get 15-degree increments. A few moments later, I have rotated the image into portrait orientation -- and the crop box is now centered on the image, but it is set to crop the middle. I have to drag the handles out to get approximately what I want: The full image in the crop box. (What I want is what I would get if I rotate the image with the Rotate command, then control-zero to fill the screen, and then select the crop tool.)
We rotate a lot of images. It's easy to do in CS2 and the two approaches I've found for CS6 are both awkward. The new crop tool has replaced the dual arrows in older versions (to swap the horizontal and vertical sizes) with a rotation arrow. I think you should restore the arrows (and their function) -- then use the rotate button to rotate the image, not the crop box. (Isn't that the design center for the new crop box? We're moving the image, not the crop box.)

Howard, thanks for the tip about the X key; didn't realize it worked that way when the crop tool is active. But in this case I had set the crop box dimenions, so the crop box starts out with the correct orientation. Having played with this for a day, I conclude that the best approach for this task is to restore the old keyboard conventions for image rotation and rotate the image before launching the crop tool.
I stand by my observation that the rotate key should affect the image, not the crop box because that is consistent with the new cropping paradigm: We rotate the image, not the crop box. I realize making a change this late in the development cycle is awkward -- but if CS6 ships with this behavior, it will become even harder to change later -- and the user interface should be as consistent as possible.
Noel, you are correct: The images are coming from scanned film. All frames get scanned with the same orientation. I want to avoid the "Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Then don't do that!" scenario. Granted: If images are "correctly" oriented, this issue doesn't arise. But not all images are oriented correctly and CS6 should be at least as graceful in handling the task as previous versions.

Time and Date mask

Hi
I need to display time in SAP Script according to following format:
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Right now its showing 8:00 to 17:00
Moreover I need to display the date as February 26, 2007. I have checked Set Date and Time masks but it didnt work.
Your guidance will be appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Pl.refer following material.
Formatting Date Fields: SET DATE MASK Edit section
To define the formatting of date fields, use the SET DATE MASK control command. Executing this command causes all subsequent date fields to be printed using the specified format.
Syntax:
/: SET DATE MASK = 'date_mask'
In the date mask, you can use the following codes:
DD: day (two digits)
DDD: day name - abbreviated
DDDD: day name - written out in full
MM: month (two digits)
MMM: month name - abbreviated
MMMM: month name - written out in full
YY: year (two digits)
YYYY: year (four digits)
LD: day (formatted as for the L option)
LM: month (formatted as for the L option)
LY: year (formatted as for the L option)
All other characters found in a date mask are interpreted as simple text and are copied straight into the output.
Assuming the current system date is March 1st, 1997.
/: SET DATE MASK = 'Foster City, MM/DD/YY'
&DATE& -> Foster City, 03/01/97
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
&DATE& -> March 01, 1997 The date mask may be reset to the default setting by using an empty string:
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '
The abbreviated and full forms of the names of the days and months are stored in the language dependent TTDTG table under the following keys:
%%SAPSCRIPT_DDD_dd: abbreviated day name
%%SAPSCRIPT_DDDD_dd: full form of day name
%%SAPSCRIPT_MMM_mm: abbreviated month name
%%SAPSCRIPT_MMMM_mm: full form of month name
dd: day number 01 = Monday,..., 07 = Sunday
mm: month number 01 = January,..., 12 = December
Formatting Time Fields: SET TIME MASK Edit section
To format time fields to your needs, use the SET TIME MASK control command. Executing this command causes all subsequent time fields to be printed using the specified format.
Syntax:
/: SET TIME MASK = 'time_mask'
In the time mask, you can use the following codes:
HH hours (two digits)
MM minutes (two digits)
SS seconds (two digits)
All other characters found in a time mask are interpreted as simple text and are copied straight into the output.
Assuming the current time is 10:08:12,
/: SET TIME MASK = 'HH:MM'
&TIME& -> 10:08
/: SET TIME MASK = 'HH hours MM minutes'
&TIME& -> 10 hours 08 minutes
The time mask may be reset to the default setting by using an empty string:
/: SET TIME MASK = ' '
Reward, if useful.

CS3 rotating and cropping video

Hi there
Please can someone help me? I have a video sequence that I need to rotate and then export as a MPEG file. I have managed to rotate it and crop it, however I still have large black margins. I want to show this video in a powerpoint presentation and I cannot get rid of the black margins at all. I am going crazy!!

ADR LE 2.5 Page rotation and Re-flow

Hi, can someone kindly confirm on the Samsung Omnina 2 (i8000 running Windows Mobile 6.1) whether the pre-installed Adobe Reader LE 2.5 supports page rotation and text re-flow ? and if not, what is needed to support these features ?
How and where does one upgrade Adobe Reader LE 2.5 ?
Thanks very much.

Big fan of adobe - however adobe reader le 2.5 on windows mobile 6.1 and 6.5 has done my head in. No page rotation, no reflow and as per your problem not opening all files. I have all these problems on my Omnia II and there are no solutions out there that work apart from installing the adobe reader for PPC which quite frankly is ugly and shite.
FIX - Install foxit reader for windows mobile from www.foxitsoftware.com sorts all the above problems

Why won't my iPhone 4 screen rotate and why do my apps launch upside down?

Hi, I've had my iPhone 4 for maybe a month now and it's been working completely fine until today some problems developed.
1. My screen won't rotate when using apps, text, etc. even though I have screen rotation unlocked.
2. When opening some of my apps (example: Cleverbot, Bejeweled) they launch upside down for some reason, but only when I have screen rotation unlocked. If I lock screen rotation they launch upright.
P.S. Screen rotation and the apps were working completely fine up until today all of a sudden they stopped working right and I have no idea what I could have done to cause it.

To be precise:
Check to see if Screen Lock is ON, then turn it OFF. Press Home Button twice quickly > scroll new bottom row to the right > Tap Screen Lock icon on left side.
NOT the little icon at the top of the screen.

Is there any way to rotate and scale type live?

I'm using cs6 and I want to rotate and scale individual letters. Whenever I try to do it I am only altering the text box. Is there any way I can do the same thing with the text itself without rasterizing it?

Carlos has a script that divides text frames into individual characters. You can use the transform tool to edit the individual text objects.
the script can be found here, the .jsx version reply #6 is what you would use

Simple centering of text on page?

I am new at using Buzzword, and am trying to center individual lines on a page of a new document I am typing. How do I do this? I see that on this screen for the creation of a new discussion topic on the forum, a quick and easy icon to click onto that centers text, but nowhere on my Buzzword document screen do I see such a icon, or reference to a drop-down file to "center."

Thank you Michelle, very helpful! One more question: how do you close the toolbar (paragraph or otherwise) once it has been opened? I assume that it automatically closes if a function is selected, but if this is not the case, I cannot find the way to close what has been opened!

Subject: Simple centering of text on page?
Hi,
Thanks for your post. The center text option is somewhat hidden - it's on the Paragraph toolbar (not the default Font toolbar). To select the Paragraph toolbar, choose the small orange paragraph symbol on the far right of the screen. It will open and slide over to the left, then you will see the text - alignment options.

Let me know if you have additional questions as you get used to Buzzword.

The import is working fine, however is there any way of centering the text vertically with the text paragraph box upon import?
I really dont want to have to go through every exported psd and manually reposition.
Any Idea?
