Transforming Rectangular Photo Shape to Circle Photo Shape

Does any know how to take a rectangular photo shape and transform it to a circle photo shape? Basically do a circle crop of a photo....
Any help would be much appreciated and is needed ASAP.
Thank you in advance!
Danielle

Danielle:
1- Make a circle and put it on top of the photo.
2- Select both.
3- Object> Clipping mask> make.

Invalid transform on JavaFX shape after creation

Hello,
I am working on a UI in JavaFX and create several instances of a custom control class. The control consists of a Pane which wraps several other containers, one of which contains a Circle shape.
At one point, I instance this control and access the Circle shape directly. I transform it's center coordinates (which are always {0.0, 0.0} ) to Scene coordinates. The problem is, the transformation always yields coordinates that correspond to the upper left corner of the control's root pane.
In other words, it's as if the Circle is positioned at the upper left corner of the custom control (when, in fact, it's positioned near the lower right corner).
I have other instanced controls already in the scene, and they do not have this issue - converting the Circle's coordinates to scene coordinates works as it should.
It seems obvious that I'm accessing the Circle too soon - that perhaps the scene graph hasn't been fully traversed for the control and the Circle's position within the control's hierarchy hasn't been updated. I've verified that my attempt to access the Circle's center coordinates occurs after the control's initialize() method is executed, so I'm at a bit of a loss to figure out how to ensure the control's scene graph has been fully updated before I try to manipulate the control...
Any thoughts?

You can read up on how to generate a layout pass.
Most of the time, you don't need to generate a layout pass.
You could probably modify your logic so that an explicit layout pass request is not needed.

Doing one transform on a shape after another...

Hi - I am writing a program to create computer artwork and have run into a problem. If I start with a shape (such as a square) and then do a rotation on it I get a diamond... fine... but now what I want to do is stretch the diamond in the x and y directions. For this I'd use scale, but, my problem is that, because the coordinate system was shiftted by the first transform, when I scale in y (for example) the diamond doesn't become stretched, but instead stretches along the old co-ordinate system, so in fact you can see that it is in fact stretching the original square, rather than the new diamond.
I thought about creating a buffered image from the shape and then stretching that but it's not really great to do that in terms of the rest of my program. Is there any way of doing one transform and then resetting the co-ordinate system so that any further transform I do will apply to the new shape rather than the old one?
Thanks in advance for any help - I'm really stuck here and I can't believe that you can't do this in Java!

How can I create non-rectangular page shapes?

There's probably a simple answer to this, but I can't figure out how to create a document with a custom page shape in CS4 (or in anything, for that matter). I'm not even looking to do anything that odd, just a 5x3 facing-page layout with rounded corners. I know I can draw rounded rectangle guides for the printer to trim, but I'd also like to produce a PDF showing the actual shape. Any nudge in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Pages are that shape there's nothing you can do about it.
The best you could do is perhaps take a sample of the background colour of Acrobat and then use that as a background for the page.
Then you can place a White Frame on top with rounded corners.
Then place your text and graphics it.
It will be very Faux Pas.
To add to the illusion, you can select the background grey frame and conver it to a Button. Under the Button options you can set it to Not Print from PDF.
That means when it's output it will have no grey background.
You might want to add a small stroke to the white frame so that people can see the page edge when printed themselves.

Best way to transform an object into a circle?

Let's say I have a long rectangle I want to warp into a circle, what would be the best way to go about doing this?

Drag the rectangle into the Brushes palette.
In the resulting dialog, define an Art Brush.
Draw a circle.
Apply the Art Brush to the circle.

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.

How to transform photos in this 'look'?

How can i transform normal photos in this 'look'?

Hi Celta2000,
I'm not sure exactly what about the photo you are trying to recreate, or what 'look' you are going for. It looks like the photo has a soft painted feel and isn't trying to be photo-realistic. If that is what you are trying to achieve here is a tutorial that demonstrates how to do exactly that: Photoshop New Oil-Paint Filter and Skin Tone Selection Tool.
The key is to use the Oil Paint Filter in Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Creative Cloud (CC). To do this, go to Filter --> Oil Paint.
This dialog box will appear and you will be able to make adjustments according to your image.
This is the end result:

Hope this helps!

Is it possible to transform a Paint but not the Shape it fills?

Is it possible to apply a transform (i.e., AffineTransform) to the Paint that is used to fill a Shape, without applying the transform to the Shape itself? I don't see a way to do that.
I.e., when the Graphics2D transform is modified, it applies to both the Shape being filled and to the Paint that fills it. I would like a way of leaving the Shape alone, while still rotating or scaling the Paint effect within it.
Thanks for any ideas!

You do the transform on an image, then clip that according to the shape, then use that clip for the fill, or make a mask of the shape and have a transparency for the shape--over lay that onto your image that has been transformed. In any case you have to have discrete objects--an image and a shape, not an image with a shape in it already.

How can I randomly deform / wobble a shape?

Hi there, I was wondering if there is an easy way to slightly, randomly deform a shape or vector mask.
I wanna suround objects with circles and have these circles wobble. At some point the circles will transform into another shape and while transforming and reaching the new state, they should keep wobbling.
I hope my explanation is somewhat comprehensible.
Best, T

There are a number of distort effects that, when tweaked with, could provide a wobbly-looking deformation. I'm not quite sure what you're asking for though.
Now, if it's their position you want to wobble, the wiggle expression is your friend.

Can't rotate individual letters in a text shapes layer

So I created some text in After Effects and converted them to shape objects. I can do X, Y, and Z rotation on the whole phrase but not on the individual letters. Is there any way to fix this?

You will have to move each shape layer to a new layer so you can use the layer rather than the shape transform controls. Shape transforms are only X and Y. Unfortunately there is no automatic way to 'release to layers' as there is in Illustrator. You have to cut (ctrl/cmnd + x), create a new shape layer (sorry no keyboard shortcut), and paste (ctrl/alt + v).

How do I open the square photo books from iPad in iPhoto Mac ?

I began creating a square photo book on iPad (iOS7) and decided that I would create the book on my Macbook instead (Mavericks) - so I could access my full photo library. However I can only see rectangular photo book templates on the Mac.
Questions:
- Is it user error or are the templates totally different on Mac and on IOS?
- Is there any way to transfer a square photo book project from iPad to Mac via iTunes or iCloud?
Thanks :-)

Just about the only thing iPhoto for Mac and iPhoto for iOS share is a name.
So, no, it's not user error, the templates are different
and
No, there's no way to transfer any book project.

How to set an image pattern as backround for a Shape + Copy shapes

1.)
Is there any way to set an image as background for a geometry shape (eg. Shapes.AddTriangle) similar like setting a 'Brush#' as background with LDShapes.BrushGradientShape ??
In the image below, eg. the yellow triangle is a rectangular image shape with transparent regions, and therefor can with 'LDShapes.GetAllShapesAt(mouseX,mouseY)'
also be accessed/grabbed in its transp. regions eg. green or red points etc., etc, aso.. and not only in the filled 3angular area, while a real 3angular geometry shape (like on the left side) would NOT (here only
inside the triangle area itself). I tried 'LDShapes.SetImage' but this is for image shapes/controls and did'nt work here.
Or maybe anyone has a better solution for a more natural looking wooden 'Brush' (as alternative for a real triangle shape with gradient).
2.)
Is there a way to copy an existing shape/control (with its basic properties like color, text, size, vertices count, ..) to another, like LDImage.Copy does for images ??
eg. i can simply copy an array and an image from one variable to an other variable, like
' arr1 copied to arr2
arr1 = "1=1;2=2;3=4;4=8;5=16;6=32;"
arr2 = arr1
TextWindow.WriteLine(arr2)
TextWindow.WriteLine(arr1)
or
' img1 copied to img2 (ImageList1)
GraphicsWindow.Show()
img1 = ImageList.LoadImage("picPath")
img2 = img1
GraphicsWindow.DrawImage(img2,50,50)
GraphicsWindow.DrawImage(img1,200,200)
but following does'nt work
' Ellipse1/Text1/Image1/Button1/... is just an object with two names: shp1 and shp2
GraphicsWindow.Show()
shp1 = Shapes.AddEllipse(10,10) 'or Shapes.AddText("ABC") or Shapes.AddImage("picPath") or Controls.AddButton("Demo",0,0)
Shapes.Move(shp1, 100,100)
shp2 = shp1
Shapes.Move(shp2, 50,50)
Shapes.Move(shp1, 200,200)
Not so important (only for interest), but maybe anyone has a trick for this, to copy such objects instead of creating them new.

Yep, that made the rest of my whole day!! Works excelllent in the demo, and i'm just replacing all the Image<->Triangle commands. Wonderfulll & thanks a lot, LitDev. (enjoint the sb sample in your Test-DL :-))
PS:
Controls.SetTextBoxText(Controls.AddTextBox(10,10), "Enter your name here...")
Controls.AddButton(".. then press the Button", 180,10)
LDGraphicsWindow.Capture("","")
GraphicsWindow.Clear()
GraphicsWindow.DrawImage("ImageList1", 0,0)

Shapes remain selected in Photoshop CC a big nuisance....

Ok so the issue I am having is that when I have a shape layer with multiple shapes and I group that layer with other layers, transforming the group gives unexpected results. Currently what is happening is that all none shape layers are getting transformed uniformely and shape layers only transform uniformely shapes that are selected with the path selection tool. Previously transforming a group ignored shapes that had been selected using the path selection tool and transformed the entire group uniformely.
So for instance I create a shape layer with 3 elipses and I select one elipse to work on. After I create three other layers while working and I put all four layers into a group. I transform the group and what happens is that everything in the group except for 2 elipses are now being transformed.

There is a workaround to this problem other than just going back to each shape layer and selecting or deselcting shapes with the path selction tool.
First you pick the path selection tool then click and drag around the entire canvas. All shapes are now selected. You can click on a new layer and exit the selction or simply go to the group you are transforming and now everything should transform as expected.

Smart shape callout pointer behavior not that smart

when moving the pointer on rectangular smart shape callout it jumps from one corner to the next. Why can't I position the pointer at the middle of the box (or anywhere I want it to be)? Is there a way to do this?

Hello again
Thanks for the links. I think I sorted it.
Click the slide in question and look at the properties. You have the option "Master Slide Objects on Top" enabled. Something about that is preventing the shape from sensing the rollover.
Click to clear that option and the mouseover should then work.
Cheers... Rick
