Where to locate Text Scrambler & Vector Shape Generator in Boris ?

My FCE4 installation disc comes with Boris Calligraphy User Guide Version 2.0.
I printed out the pdf file of Boris Calligraphy User Guide Version 2.0.
In it, there are chapters on Text Scrambler & Vector Shape Generator but how do I access this Generator in FCE4 ? I can only see Title3D Generator and Title Crawl Generator.
Thanks

I don't know of any such generators that come with FCE. Perhaps Boris included the documentation so if you like Title3D and Title Crawl then you will purchase the newer generators. I am pretty sure that the others you mention aren't included with FCE4.

  • Ps CS5 vector shape redraw problem

    So I use vector shape layers a lot where I feather the edges to make shadows and what not; I also place layer masks on them.
    The problem I'm having is that when I move the shape around in the document, most of the time the image stays where it was originally and doesn't update to the new location.  That is unless I click on the vector mask, move it back and forth, and turn the layer mask on and off – only then does it update to the new location.
    I hope this makes sense, but if not ask away.  I didn't see any other threads regarding this issue, but if I missed it please redirect me.
    Thanks!
    I'm running Ps 12.0.4x64 on a MacBook Pro – OSX 10.7.2 – 2.3GHz Core i7 with 8GB RAM.  I've had this problem on two other Macs as well.

    Boilerplate-text:
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
    Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

  • Photoshop CC Vector Shape Fill Defaults issue

    For some reason whenever I create a vector shape the default Fill is always Pattern instead of flat color.  It used to default to whatever the last style I used in CS6, but for some reason in CC no matter what all shapes I make are default ugly bubble pattern that no one would ever use.  It's annoying to have to change the color of every single shape I make and I can't find a way to make it not change back to that pattern every time I make a new shape.
    Anyone else have this problem or know how to set what my default shape style is?

    It isn't entirely intuitive, but Chris is right, except that it's not "the last thing you used, " instead it's the last setting you changed before drawing a shape. PS will ignore the last setting you used if you change it after creating the shape.
    The trick is to change the settings before you draw a new shape. Then PS saves that as the default.
    I was pulling my hair out in frustration because I would draw a shape and it would have some rather annoying settings from a couple of weeks ago. I'd change it expecting that it would behave like the Text tool. Where the last settings you used becomes the setting for the next text box you create. But for what ever reason it does not behave as expected. I'm assuming it's because it's inheriting some behavior from Illustrator or where ever the tool was borrowed from.
    Either way, change your settings BEFORE drawing the shape and you'll be good.
    Thanks, Chris.

  • "Controlled" Rounding of Vector Shape Corners

    I know how to drag the corner box to vary the amount of curve in a rounded corner rectangle, but is there a way to set the value, similar to numeric transform?
    If you are making lots of rounded corner shapes... like for buttons throughout the site, and containers, say for content areas, it would be handy to be able to set the amount of roundness exactly, so all are pixel perfect the same.

    Starting from the rectangle "primitive" vector shape there is a box that appears at the bottom of the property inspector in the stroke section under texture labeled roundness that controls the radius of the curve as described by Pete-1967 above.
    Starting from the auto vector shape. rounded rectangle, that roundness selector in the property inspector disappears.  It would seem only natural to include that control in that location for that shape.  It may have something to do with the difference between primitive shapes, those three that appear first in menu under the vector shapes tool  and auto shapes. As noted above, the auto shapes are controlled in the auto shape properties panel, which is not opened automatically in the expanded mode, but can be found unded Window --> Auto Shape Properties.
    My initial confision over this stems from a couple of user interface issues inherant in Fireworks CS4.  Firstly, and Jim Babbage warns about this either in his greatClassroom In A Book, or his equally excellent videos located on Lynda.com.... I could just here his voice chiding me when realized my mistake after posting this thread... ( I can't remeber everthything!! )  the properties inspector has three states controlled by the little arrows next to " Properties".  The properties inspector can be completely rolled up with only the tab showing, halfway rolled up with only the top half of the properties inspector showing and all the way unfurled completely showing all the available controls.  There is NO indication to the user that there is more information hiding when it is half way open.  I had it in that state, and therefor could not find the controls pointed out in this thread by  Pete. Adobe should put a visual que, like one uses on a nested menu, for example, to que the user that there is more information hiding, and a click on the control is required to reveal it.
    Thanks to Dave, I found the auto shapes properties panel.... should have looked harder I guess, but wouldn't it make more sense from a UI ease of use standpoint to put auto shape PROPERTIES in the PROPERTIES inspector?  Oh well, now I know where it is
    These Adobe programs are great... they are also vast, so when I forget where something is, or can't find something, it's a pleasure to be able to come here get pointed in the right direction.  This post is intended clearify this thread to help others who may arrive here in the future.

  • Help Trying To Remove Part of a Vector Shape?

    Hey guys,
    -New Here-
    So I've been playing around with some stuff on PS, and I'm struggling to fill/edit a font, while having the image remain completely vectorized.
    The problem I'm finding is, I have a font that has an empty area within it. I wish for that space to be white
    When I was dealing with rasters before this was easily fixed and I had no problems.
    I just don't have much experience with vector shapes.
    This is where I'm stuck currently:
    The top, I toggled the view of the Copy I made, or what it would look like without the copy.
    I made the copy, as a solution to add white, however I'm left with white in the rest of the background as well, with no way of removing it.
    The bottom, is what it looks like with the copy over (it the inverted areas of the text, but white rather than red)
    Any suggestions guys? Help is really appreciated!

    One solution (not really the best) is instead of a white rectangle use white letters the same size as the outer edge and make sure it is below the red letters. Select all and group.

  • How to programmatically create this vector shape?

    I have a cardboard cut-out of something I want to create.
    See picture?
    I've  taken a picture and made a vector outline that I'm satisfied with.
    Initial vector shape!
    Now  to get those holes, there's a variety of ways to do it... but I want  accuracy, so does anyone have a suggestion how to pull it off?
    Methods  to achieve the evenly spaced holes inside the piece?
    1 - SLOPPY -  Draw each segment by hand, using photo as a background reference.
    2 -  SLOPPY - Draw a rounded corner rectangle then duplicate/scale/edit it  for each segment.
    3 - SLOPPY - Bring prepared photo in and use  Illustrator's LiveTrace feature to convert the shapes into vector. I  tried, with variations. Have to tweak each individual segment after.
    4  - PREFERRED - Somehow tell the computer to generate X number of objects  along Y path, making them smaller and smaller.
    Method 4 can almost be  done in a number of ways...
    4a-Make a rounded corner rectangle,  duplicate it off in a straight row, group them together, then use  something like Warp.
    4b-Make a rounded corner rectangle, duplicate it  off in a straight row, group the together, then use 3d extrude &  rotate and extract the results.
    4c-Make a rounded corner rectangle,  use Transform and replicate it X times and adjust horizontal/vertical  positioning and scale.
    I like 4c but still not close. How can I  restrict it to be along a pre-determined path (an arc)? Like  text-on-path tool, but with shapes, and scaling down progressively like a  warp.
    Anyone have any advice?
    I need/want precision  because this is a part that will be cut out of a CNC machine for  something that'll be at a tradeshow.

    We need a better understanding of your understanding of terms like "accuracy," "evenly spaced," and "precision."
    If I interpret "accuracy" to mean "true to the original raster image," then I would use method #1. It's "sloppy" only if you do not know how to use Illustrator drawing tools.
    The blend tool might get you to method #4, but you will be constrained as to spacing and shape progression.
    Note that you can replace the spine of a blend with a path you've created.

  • Getting the text and the shape to play at the same time in Keynote '08

    Searched FAQ without any luck. I put text into a shape. When 'played' however, the text comes in on first click, and shape on the second click. I would like both to enter slide simultaneously. How can I accomplish this ??
    THanks Fred

    Hi Fred,
    There are two ways to achieve this. Firstly you can group the two objects and they will then appear at that same time once you select a build for the group.
    You can use the Build inspector to do the same. Once you've chosen the build for the two objects click on the More Options button at the bottom. Select one of the objects (most likley listed as 'Text' and 'Shape' and chose from the Start Build sub menu 'Automatically with build X' where build X is the number of the build of the first object.

  • How do I automate global vector shape, mask & path transfers to Illustrator?

    Using: WIN7, Adobe CS5, PS, AI (but others may appreciate answers for CS6, etc.)
    When I need to move a project from  Photoshop to Illustrator, I need an automated way to prep shape and vector mask items for export--preferably preserving the structure and layout that already exists as layer names and order, character and paragraph settings, and of course global registration. My scripting is limited to recording actions, so I need to find an existing script or get coached on this. Any recommendations?
    I have googled and waded through numerous forum posts trying to research this on my own, so I know about the ability to export my path collection, but that's usually inapplicable in reality. It only deals with vectors from the Paths pallette. In Photoshop, I use the Paths pallet to store master and WIP paths, but all the working paths are either shapes or vector masks--or active type layers. Often enough that it's become an issue, I'll need to move the whole project to Illustrator. Obviously, the process has issues; I'm not expecting the rastor layers or Photoshop styles to carry over, but I see no reason why I can't capture text, shape and vector mask elements.
    They all have a vector component, but simply opening a PSD in Illustrator flattens (badly) the layers. I select the "Convert Layers as Objects" but have yet to see it extract editable text. I'm not sure if it even attempts to do anything with vector shapes or masks. I've got a process for moving a project one element at a time, using registration marks--but this requires turning text into shapes most of the time, especially if I am trying to preserve kerning and leading crucial to the layout. Maybe I just have not found the right info, and there is a way to transfer editable text without losing character and paragraph settings. I'd love to hear about it.
    For now, I'd be happy to stop wasting time doing a ton of conversions and renaming by hand, just so I can preserve the work I've already invested.
    One suggestion, posted under a multiple path export question, was to use scripting... but no one explored or explained how to go about it. I'm not asking for the impossible, however. I simply need help working out my own solution: if there is no application method for transferring the elements, try to script a method to prep those elements for export. Before I even attempt to reinvent someone's wheel, I am putting the question out there:
    Does anyone know of a solution that already exists?
    I appreciate hearing your advice and thank you for giving this some attention!
    edit:  I kept at it and managed to open my current project PSD in AI with text and shape/mask vectors successfully--not as cleanly as I'd hoped but the relative positioning of things was acceptable. I am still interested in hearing people's suggestions on better ways to transfer work from one tool to the other, though. I know this is going to come up for me again and again...
    Thanks!

  • Replacing bitmap text with vector graphic text

    In a layout for an ebook I have some important black and white bitmap illustrations in tiff., 300 dpi. These have appeared ok on print, but on screen, reading the same pdf-file, they´re unacceptable, especially some texts in fontsize 5-6 pt are unclear. People tell me I have to convert the drawings, or at least the texts, to vector graphics.
    Question: Can I open these tiff.s in Photoshop, change only the texts to vector graphics and then save in a format, that can be inserted in the Word2010 layout? (You might wonder why I use Word, but it was a question of economy, when the project was started up). Or are there other ways? Thanks for any answers!

    You are right, there are no layers, some geometric shapes with texts in and around. It´s possible to mark or lassoe the bits of text, since spaces were made in the figures for the texts. And then delete them, and then insert new ones. That will be in another layer, I guess, but from that point I don´t know what to do :-)

  • Vector shapes suddenly looks jagged when exported from InDesign to pdf

    I've read several discussions on pdf export topics but none of them seem to solve this issue. I have an indesign document with multiple pages, its both vector shapes, text and pixel graphics. I worked on this for weeks and I exported this document to pdf numerous times and it all looked good every time I did it. All of a sudden I started to get a very bad looking export, just out of the blue the shapes, logos etc got this jagged look and it looks aweful - see my enclosed examples.
    I have done nothing to my pdf export setup, InDesign setup or any screen preferances. It's just a mystery to me. It seems to be hurting all my sirculare shapes and not my text in general! Every pixel image / photography exports perfect to pdf. My page display is set to smooth text rendering in my pdf preferences. What's up? What puzzles me is this happened so sudden after numerous fine exports.  I'm using InDesign CS6.
    This is the O in a logo that's been placed on a page. The right one is what I get when I export to pdf now, the left one is what I used to get

    John, your are very wrong about post #2. I personally had a rendering problem that was all solved by setting the opacity to 99.9% - it was exported horribly but fixed by this operation. You can read other user stories that confirms this too. But this is not the same issue so let's leave it at that. I just wanted to mention it in terms of having jagged exports.
    There's been no updates thats been changing the Acrobat settings. Acrobat has a default setting in terms of page display that I haven't changed ever as a matter of fact. I shared that info in case someone asked. I'm not connected to any printer, the file is for screen view and third partie receivers can print if they need to (I'm not connected to any printer at work, there's a no print policy). Watching the corporate identity material look terrible on the screen is hardly something a marketing manager likes to do and I don't wanna be the designer responsible for that. So all I want is to solve this mystery and get things back to how it was just two days ago. As described nothing is changed in terms of technical things AND the same terrible results occur when opening a new indd file with a new vector file and exporting that. So the error is not connected to a spesific document or file.
    I remember having export rendering problems of all kinds in CS3, CS4 and CS5, it was all sort of quirky operations I had to do to solve them. Once I actually sat on the phone talking to a technical advisor at Adobe in Ireland while he was trying to explain that this was one of those weak spots of InDesign vs Acrobat. I was emailed a script, if that's not a bugfix I don't know what is. He tried to explain how to embedd the file into the installation setup but the end of the story was a full CS4 MA Collection refund. I'm trying to avoid placing foreign calls this time around and nothing has helped so far. I've been reading endless forum threads different places that describes the problem I have but they never end up with a solution for InDesign CS6 and export routines. It's just a series of errors and questions. I've turned the stone a million times, but all I see is...stone

  • Saving PDF from AI causes TIF images to be 'intersected' by vector shape behind it

    Hi,
    I am encountering this issue frequently and would appreciate any insight...
    When I have a design made up of both embedded TIF Images and vector shapes which overlap, the shape of the vector beneath 'cuts' or intersects the image laid on top and produces a white area there.
    It is seen in the full color PDF's I send to the printers at the local newspaper. The PDF is saved at 180dpi. The 'save illustrator editing capabilities' makes no difference whether it's checked on or not. It does not occur in 300 dpi PDF's Saved from AI.
    The problem is the printers save all artwork to 180dpi PDF's no matter what format I send.
    Can this be avoided by doing something on my side? or has anyone else had this before?
    Thanks,
    TJ

  • CS4 Vector shapes look pixelated

    I'm new here. In fact I just signed up to get help with this issue.
    Anyway. In school last semester, I took a computer art class in which we made things in Photoshop CS4. Now that the semester is over, I took my work home with me (I also have PS CS4). Anyway, one of the exercises we did was creating vector art. In school, the vectors that I made turned out fine. The edges were clearly defined and there where no real issues to be see. However, when I took it home to look at it, I noticed that all of the vector shapes and lines look pixilated... as if I drew them with a brush or something.
    Here is a screenshot of what it looks like in CS4:
    Also, for clarification, here is another example:
    First, the new image settings:
    Red elipse:
    Zoomed in:
    Anyway, I admit to not being 100% knowledgeable in the program... so it might just be a silly simple mistake or setting that I don't have checked or something. Any help would be appreciated as this issue is really annoying me.
    Also, if it matters, my computer is much better standing that the ones we used in school.

    Two things:
    First, if the Vector Mask path is active in the Paths panel, the path will be visible. This can cause the edges of shapes to look raggedy.
    The main culprit, though, is that you need to view the image at 100% (Control+Alt+ZERO, 'Actual Pixels' in the Zoom tool Option Bar) for the shapes to look smooth. Very often, viewing at other than 100% can cause visible artifacts to appear on the screen that aren't actually in the image.

  • How to replace text with vector image in 3d space

    Hello,
    I want to replace the text in this template http://vimeo.com/15026094 with a vector image logo.
    Any ideas would be helpful. Btw, I have CS4.
    Thanks,
    td

    I finally took a look at your Vimeo example and I'd guess that the animation of the text was created with Text Animators and range selectors. As Mylenium said, and as I said
    Reveal all of the animated properties that you want to transfer to your new layer. Usually pressing the U key will suffice.
    Note: Text animations and shape animators will be ignored unless the new layer is a text or shape layer.
    You need read up on Text Animators so you can understand them.
    Type a question in the search field at the top right corner of After Effects.
    And you'll find all of these resources. (providing you have the Adobe Help preferences set to search the web)
    Animation presets will save all animated properties applied to a layer, but they will only apply the keyframes to properties that exist on the layer. Text Animators only exist in text layers so you'll have to animate your logo by hand or grab yourself a font creation tool and recreate your logo as a font.
