How To Create Curved Lines Of A Bowl

I did find a post to this but the solution did not help me and it was over a year ago so I did not want to bump an old thread. Here was the post I came across


"I'm having a bit of a strange problem with the text tool on CS4 at the moment.

When I have drawn a work-path with the pen tool and then attempt to type along it the text does now show up and I cannot edit it.
The cursor changes when I hover over the start of the path to indicate that the type path is available but once I click and start typing nothing seems to happen. The name of the text layer changes to what I've just typed however so it is definitely inputting it somewhere."



This is exactly what I am dealing with now. The solution in the original thread said make sure the text is not white on white background ( mine is black on transparent ) and is left justified and not center or right. My text is left justified and it still does not show up. My text is Wet Dynamite. The odd thing is my font size is currently 72, if I drop it down to 48, the W shows if I go smaller it disappears again. Even at 48 when the W shows, if I try to retype, I still can't see the rest of the phrase. I have done this method before and had no issues in the past with this technique. This seems like a bug in CS4 to me.

Any help with this would be great as I can't get past this stage in my design and can't use the warp tool for text because it looks like crap.

Thank you for your time. Ive saved my project out into a test file so you can see. If you can load it and easily see or add the text in the top curved path, then I know there has to be an issue with my CS4

Hey Guys , hows u all doing ? good afternoon from india
I have a small difficulty with an image i came accross the web



now if you look closely the squares that have text on them , they are not exactly flat , rather they are kind of curved on the edges , i tried adding a drop shadow and doing skew , perspective etc . but could't really figure out how to get the curved shape .

if somebody can just vaguely describe to me how should i go about creating such awesome squares it would be great . no need to post or something , if someone can just give me a fair idea , i'll try it and post the result .

Thanks .

Gautam,

Hello guys,

I need your help because I am a total noob and I don't know how to draw this line on ps.

As you can see the right one is my work and it should look like the left one. I need that curved line from the top to the bottom. How can I do that???

i am sure this should be relatively easy , but just don't know how ?? , i basically want to create something like this :



notice the "dots" are actually rectangular .

now this can be achieved with the pen tool and than using a brush and doing "stroke path" but there is a problems :

-- with the pen tool its difficult to get the circular shape .

is there a better way of doing this ? or does it just require better precision with the pen tool ??

i wanted to create such lines and use it like in a picture like this :



if somebody can give me a really vague idea , as to how i could , it will be great .

Thanks .

Gautam.

Hello,

This is the tut:

http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials...hop--psd-37680

I'm attaching a screenshot, too.
In step 3 of this tut, I only get a white fill when I follow the instructions. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi everyone,

I am buliding a werbsite for my wife and I like to draw these type of lines in Photoshop (or Fireworks).

I am using CS5.1

Can someone show me a easy way to do it?

I am doing a tutorial that calls for dotted lines. I believe this tut is done with the newest version of Photoshop out there, so it has no problem making dotted lines. But I just cannot find a way to make them with my CS3. Dotted lines have always been easy in other graphics programs I've used.

I tried going to Style/ Dotted Strokes and I get a halfway decent result by using "no fill". But I can't get the lines in any color except white or black. It's not very editable, either.

Is there a way to get dotted lines or strokes with CS3?

Thanks,
pslane

Hello folks, my name is John and I am new to the forum! I mainly use PS for photography but wander into the graphic design side of things now and again.

Right now I am struggling big time angle text in a precise way. As you can see below I am to trying to have text follow around the angles of the surrounding box but I am having big problems lining up the text correctly and ensuring it remains the right height (via free transform) and creating the angle in the right place whilst keeping the height and text the same on both sides (via vanishing point).

Any potential solutions would be a massive help! I've spent the last 3 hours trying to find/create a solution and I am at me wits end

oh and I am using CC

Hello,
I am trying out PS for video for the first time and want to create a zoom effect from a photograph. I want to zoom in on teh eye of the cat, but all PS is offering me in the option is to click a point in teh 3x3 grid to select as a zoom to point. Can I not set my own point that I want to zoom to?

We are attempting to create a design for an ad, either print or digital or both preferably, that appears differently when the person viewing the ad puts on a glasses with tinted lenses, like bright red or deep purple. So in the case of using red lenses, we are looking to have icons that clutter the design, with various shades of red, orange and yellow. We would like a message that is hard to decipher until the person viewing the ad puts on glasses with red lenses. Then most of the clutter disappears and the only thing that really appears is the message. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
