Wrap Texture Around Object.

I have a problem with photoshop. Everything I do gets pixelated.

When I paste or place an object from Illustrator CS6 I choose place as smart object and as soon as I pace it it gets pixelated. I have tried with and without the anti-aliased box checked. When the box is checked photoshop pixelates the image and when the box is not checked the image looks really strange and digital with the pixels showing. All curves that were smooth and nice in Illustrator looks jagged and strange.

When I try and draw a shape in photoshop it looks in the layer-list like it's a shape layer but the object is heavily pixeled.

I have tried opening a file created in Autocad (by using dwg to PDF) and opening it as a smart object in Photoshop. Everything is pixelated.

When starting a new file in PS I have a 300 pix per inch resolution, 16 bits RGB color, sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as my color profile and square pixels as my pixel aspect ratio.
Under general preferences I have the box for "Place or drag raster images as smart objects" (I have also tried without it). I have also tried with the box for "snap vector tools and transform to pixel grid" on and off.


Regardless of what i do photoshop still pixelates everything. I have no idea what to do. Could there be some sort of setting that I have overlooked?

hey guys i'm trying to create an artwork for a cone shape cooler with sizes (top: 1555.75mm , bottom: 1244.6mm, height: 368.3mm).

My problem is if I just drew a shape with the dimensions above and create my artwork with that shape would my artwork be distorted when it is placed on the cooler?

I'm really new in dealing with cone shaped labels, so I would be happy if someone could guide me through this process. I'm using photoshop cs5
Awaiting your response.

Dear people smarter than me,

I need to do some rotoscope work on a piece of video in Photoshop. I can't use After Effects in this instance, I have to use Photoshop. So I want to cut out the image of a submarine as it is sinking slowly. The sub is slightly rotating as it sinks, so it's basic shape changes only slightly from frame to frame. What would make my life much easier in working with all 200 frames, would be if I could use the lasso tool to draw around the sub and cut out the shape, the copy that shape of lasso selection, and apply it to the next frame around the sub, and then just alter the shape of the lasso, to the now slightly changed shape of the sub. This would speed up the process infinitely, so I don't have to redraw the shape on every single frame. Is there a way to do this? Help, advice, tutelage in this area would be so very much appreciated. Thanks in advance, and I am glad there is a place I can go where people smarter than me are willing to help. Thank you so much!

Cheers,
Carlo

Hii everyone,

I'd like to create a cube, but unfortunately, I only do have the normal version of Photoshop.
How can I create an exact cube? I played along with Skew..Distort, but the result won't be exact. :(

Is there even a way to create a 3D shape in the normal version of PS?


Thanks

Hi all

I need to redraw this shape in photoshop. I started by created rounded rectangles, and moving one under the other.

However, I can't re-create the edges between the 2 squares so I expect I am going about it wrong!

I want to learn to do it myself really rather than ask someone else to do it.

I have tried 'creating 3d squares in photoshop' but all I get is how to make cubes, which isn't the same.

Any pointers please?

thanks

Edward

I have a single smart object which will act as a texture layer. This texture layer is linked to over 100 documents, when I want to put a new texture in this smart object I save it then open up 1 of the 100 documents, it has the yellow warning symbol and I have to click "Update All Modified Content".

My question is , is there a way to automatically update the content so I don't have to open 100 documents and click update on each one? I thought the whole point of a linked smart object is so that it saves time by not making me open up each document and clicking update.

If you know for certain that this is impossible then also let me know so I can stop searching.

Many Thanks
Tom

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with ideas of how to make the sun shape from this image I attached. I have made one of the squiggly tails (lets call them tails for now lol) and transformed it by 15 degrees, then did the duplicate+transform again. I came out with the squiggly tails looking correct, but now I want to seamlessly mesh them together. Do you see how inbetween each tail there is a "U" shape that looks like they used the pen tool to blend it together? How could I do that more easily rather than going to each gap and using the pen tool? I hope that I explained it well enough. It's tough to get this across! Thank you so much.

Hi all.
I'm no newbie to Photoshop but today I came across something that annoyed me as it should be easy, but I just can't seem to make it work.
Ok, so let's say I have a load of text - lorem ipsum x 200 words - and I want to put that text in a shape and have it fill the shape.
Now, I know that I can make a path and click within it with the text tool to fill that path. However, I want to fill a shape that has a complex hole in the middle of it, which I want the text to flow around and past.
For example, let's say that I need to fill the area marked in green in the image below with text, leaving the white areas (there is also a white border) clear.
I have made a path but when I use the type tool it just fills in the rectangle and ignores the central area.
Any ideas?

I am sorry if I don't use the correct jargon throughout this post, I am a very occasional user of Photoshop!

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended.

I want to create an "inverse" layer.

Here's what I mean:

1) create a new canvas.

2) Choose a large, bold font and write on the canvas (E.g. "Hello World").

3) Select all the letters (using the magic wand tool, click on each letter while holding down the shift key)

4) Invert the selection.

5) Get stuck, no idea what to do next. Try various things and get nowhere!

I want to make a new layer that contains the inverted selection as a shape that I can do things to like any other shape (e.g. in the shape library).

So, for example, I could fill the surrounding area with red and the letters will be transparent.

I've tried converting the inverted selection to a clipping mask, but after that I get in a bugger's muddle.

Perhaps I am going about this in completely the wrong way? Perhaps there's a better way?

Once again, I apologise if I sound like a three-year-old trying to explain something to an adult, but that's the extent of my knowledge of Photoshop!!

Hello!

I am trying to reshape a round image, with a very distinct texture and edge quality, into various different shapes. Most shapes will just have a small section knocked out of the circle (like turning an O into a C), but I want to maintain the edge quality and interior texture. I've played around with a few things but can't figure out the best way to accomplish this. Any ideas? What would you guys do?

Here is an image of a coffee stain to use as an example.



I'd like to turn it into a rounded "C" shape, like this:


Thanks so much for your help!
