hi,
I am a new student at Central Georgia Technical College ,we use Photoshop in our Digital Imaging Class .Creating-a-gear was one of our assignments , following the instructions was a little difficult . On step 2 , Now switch to the Elliptical Shape tooland taking notice of the path window .I was using the wrong tool ,I don’t know if the names are the same or not but I’m new at this (Elliptical and Ellipse) and I know you did’nt say Marquee but I figured it out it was the Ellipse Shape Tool not the E lliptical Marquee Tool .I downloaded the 30 day trial and was able to try different things until I got mine to look like yours.
In Photoshop, add a layer mask to exclude the cup, masking out the inside. I used the pen tool to create the mask. Next, duplicate the layer, invert the mask on the duplicate, and reduce the opacity of that layer to 45%. Then export as PNG 24, with transparency. running a Mac Pro & cc2015. Kept getting the path too complex warning, both using vector shape (star)path or shape tool. I had extruded a 20 point star long ago, smooth indent set to 99%. FINALLY remembered the fix. I was working full screen (2560 x 1440 @ 300 dpi. New file @ 1000px square & 72 dpi.
Thanks , Vanessa Harris
Paths In Photoshop
How to draw in Photoshop: Check out these tutorials Understand shapes and paths. This might be one of the best tutorials to start with. It teaches you how to make a straight line in photoshop to complex things like paths. The format is video, and it is a great foundation in understanding the basics you can do with this program. I had also lost files from Photoshop CC 2019 on my Windows PC. Then I used a quick and easy method to recover Photoshop files from Mac or Windows PC is with the help of a PSD file recovery software – Stellar Photo Recovery. The software recoups your lost Photoshop projects and files without hampering their original quality. Favorite Answer It means your path has too many anchors. Remove the path (cut it), right click on your layer (an image, most likely) rasterize it (convert it to a bit-map image), then re-drap.
