Path Curving?
have a problem with the path tool. When I do one curve and want to do another curve the same direction as the first. The second curve goes the opposite direction and if I try to twist the anchors so it goes the same direction the path goes all twisty and weird.

Curving Graphics (similar To Text Along Path)
I am trying to make a CD cover graphic in photoshop. I have a logo that has been flattened, and it is a standard rectangular shape. It would flow with the shape of the CD much better if I were able to apply a curve to it, similar to using the text tool along a curved path. I have used the Transform tool which only allows changes in angles. I have also tried multiple filters... Filter --> Distort --> Pinch Filter --> Distort --> Polar Coord Filter --> Distort --> Spherize and none of these give me the desired FX. They only massacre the image. Without redrawing the logo from scratch, is there any way to bend the graphic along this curve?

Bending Lines
if there is a technique in Photoshop that will allow you bend a straight line, but have the curves is the line be smooth. I tried Filter --> Distort --> Wave and Filter --> Distort --> Shear and it did bend the line, but the curves were jagged. Looking for smooth lines.

Bending A Pictre
way to bend a picture so it follows a path. Kinda in the way you can make text follow a patch, except with a picture. I'm designing something that will fit in a perfect circle, and I have a logo at the top, but I would like it to follow the curve in the upper part of the circle.

Bending An Image Into A Circle
Is there a way that I can bend a photographic image (or a selection of a photographic image) into a circle? For example, I might have a photographic image of a pencil that I want to bend into a complete circle so that the sharpened tip touches the eraser, essentially forming a “wheel” out of the pencil. Along these same lines is there a filter, plugin, etc that would allow me to take a selection of a photographic image and distort it into some predefined shape?

Bending/Warping Into Virtual 3D Ring
I'm trying to "bend" an image (or text) into a ring. I'm not talking about simply having the text follow a circular path, but rather more like the filmstrip on Apple's new dotMac logo, How did they get the items - like the video frames in particular - to "wrap" around the globe like that? Perhaps Photoshop is not the right tool? I've seen this same effect with text and other images on various site, and I've always assumed it was done in Photoshop.

Bending And Blending Shadows, Dual Surface
i'm trying to cast a shadow, behind this polaroidy picture, that makes it look like its resting against any imaginary vertical surface and setting on an imaginary horizontal surface. The quality of my current shadow should give you some idea of how long ive been using photoshop I've been working at it a little while and i cant seem to get anywhere. I have the feeling the trick lies somewhere in the confluence of two gradient shadows, coming together and bending to form a slightly darker area where the imaginary 90 degree angle would be.

3D Objects
Photoshop CS4 Extended and am using it partly to animate 3D objects. Models that I import made by other people I am having 2 problems, not necessarily combined. Sometimes neither of these problems are an issue. First problem is that some models that I import do not show up on the canvas. I tired all sorts of sizes that maybe it was to big or small but to no avail. Why is not showing up even though I can see that it is trying to render the image, so it is like it is there, but it is not? Second sometimes I want to animate the models, however they will only let me animate for a couple of seconds because that is the max layer length is for a few frames. Other models I have imported they have infinite lengths. Is there a way to extend it? I have combed over the web and can find nothing. By the way I am only importing, 3DS, OBJ, and Collada as instructed by Photoshop.

Smart Objects
Ok, so the title of this post sounds confusing. First off, I created a graphic in Illustrator CS3. It is to be used on a web page created in Dreamweaver CS3. I want to be able to streamline the editing process by using the Smart Object linking feature between Dreamweaver and Photoshop CS3. Obviously, the problem is, I cannot link the Photoshop source to Dreamweaver because the source is not a Photoshop file, it is in Illustrator. The obvious solution to that is to export the Illustrator file as a Photoshop file. The problem with that is, I want to maintain the source in Illustrator and make edits in Illustrator. So, my solution was to place the Illustrator file in Photoshop and make the Illustrator file a Smart Object in Photoshop. Then link that Photoshop file to the Dreamweaver page. So, basically, Photoshop is just the link between Dreamweaver and Illustrator. It works well! I click the little edit button in Dreamweaver abd it calls up the file in Photoshop. Then I double-click on the Smart Object layer in Photoshop and the source comes up in Illuistrator. Now, here is the problem. To add to the confusion, I maintain versioning in Version Cue. So whenever I change the Illustrator file, I check it in to Version Cue. The Illustrator file I linked to in Photoshop is the local file on my computer. This file is syncronized with the version of the file that gets uploaded to Version Cue. This may sound complicated, but to see how I did it is pretty straight forward. My assumption was, when I double clicked on the Smart Object layer in Photoshop, I would get the local copy of the Illustrator file to edit. But, that wasn't the case. Problem is, I got a temp file of the Illustrator graphic and NOT the original source file I linked to in Photoshop. I can still edit the temp file and have those changes automatically made in Photoshop and then update the image in Dreamweaver. BUT, when I got to check in the new edits of the Illustrator file to Version Cue, it wants to create a new file and not rev-up to the new version of the original file. That's because the file I'm checking in is NOT the original file, it is a temp file. Does anyone else use a workflow like this? If so, how do you do it?

CS2 Smart Objects
A lot of the hype about CS2 has been around the Vanishing Point tool; Certainly it's cool, and it's probably the easiest feature to awe an audience with. But I think there is a new tool that is waaay more useful: Smart Objects. This is a feature that Adobe has done a terrible job of advertising and explaining—looking at most descriptions of it, it seems to be relevant only to those who often import work in from Illustrator or other apps. I use it just within Photoshop and I'm totally blown away by its power. What exactly is it? Smart Objects allows you to take a layer or group of layers and treat them as a single unit—a unit that you can scale, warp, and transform in any way you like without losing any of the data from the orginal layers that make up the "smart object" set. This smart object can be duplicated as many times as you want, and then it is possible to edit the master smart object and see all the changes applied at once. Here I have a set of four layers—the white shape, the green square, the red circle, and the blue squiggles, which I have combined into a smart object. I then duplicated the smart object and applied different transformations to each one. Now I double clicked on one of my four smart objects, and in the sub-document that opened, I moved the green square layer up, and added a new layer with a black yin-yang. I saved and closed the subdocument, and all four instances of the smart object in the main document updated with my changes. The other cool thing that smart objects allows you to do is undo a transformation without losing any of the original resolution. In this image, I took a raster graphic, duplicated it, and put one inside a smart object and left the other a regular layer. I transformed both of them the same way, and they looked identical. But when I transformed them each again, to try to regain the original shape, the smart object looked significantly better. How to get smart objects Select one or more layers in the layers palette, and ctrl-click or right click and select "Group into new Smart Object." Now, you are free to transform and duplicate this new object however you wish. (Note: To duplicate a smart object so that all instances update together, duplicate it in the layers palette as you would any other layer; to duplicate it so it is independent, use "New Smart Object via Copy" in the Layers Menu.) Now, when you wish to edit the original set of layers, double click the Smart Object in the layers palette, and it will open them in a new document. Save and close it when you want your changes applied to your main document. Smart objects are an incredible tool to add to the arsenal of "safe photoshop practices." Always use adjustment layers, not direct adjustments; always do everything on separate layers; save important history states; use vector art for clean, scalable shapes and text; and convert layers to smart objects before transforming them. (There are certainly more, but these are the ones that jump to mind.) A little sidenote: This is a little animation I did using smart objects and the new Warp transformation. It's fairly ugly, but the point of it was to demonstrate another use of Smart Objects. I won't go into how it was done here,

3D Objects :: Appear To Pop Out Of The Background
if there was a way to make objects appear to "pop" out of the background. use the frame to make the object appear 3-d. I'm trying to do that with out the frame. I'm taking a cutout of myself from one picture and putting myself in another background. I want myself to appear to melt into the background, but i want my arm to pop out and look like i'm reaching out. So far, it just looks like 2 images blended together.

Smart Objects?
I have created a smart object in cs2 to help me create a webpage, but when I transfer the file to image ready it says it does not understand the smart object. When I go back to photoshop it has turned my smart object into a flat image that can not be altered anymore. Can anyone help me or give me some advice with this please. I know its an older version of photoshop, but it dosen't make sense that they have not made the two programs compatible for smart images.Â

Removing Objects
I've been looking for a tutorial I saw some time ago dealing with removing objects from photos, such as people or vehicles. It was a round-about technique, but seemed to work really well. Unfortunately, I can't find again, thought maybe someone here might know the technique, or know of the tut. If I remember right, it wasn't something simple like the lasso or magic wand. It seems that it had to do with duplicating and inverting, then from there you could make the selection of the object you wanted to remove, and it made a much, much cleaner selection, and looked very natural when it's moved to another background. Take for instance, a woman with long hair blowing in the wind. This technique selected all of the person, hair included, but left out the background, including the background that shows through strands of hair. I found this technique was much cleaner than other methods, and am hoping to find it again.

Smart Objects
I often work with stock photos, and they are never in the correct orientation for the front of the books I work on. Generally, my procedure has been to drop the stock photo into a 300 ppi photoshop doc that is the exact size that I need for the front of the book. I then convert the stock photo to a smart object and size it up or down as needed. (This way I won't lose any data by sizing the image down.) Then if necessary, I do any color correction or photoshop work that might be needed. I then import the Layered tif into InDesign and when I have finalized the design, I usually flatten the tif and update it in InDesign. Is this a good way to work?

Combining Objects In A Layer
I'm going through some tutorials and I'm trying to make an object using some shapes. I'm putting them all in the same layer. I have my object, but now I want to add some layer styles (beveled edges). When I go to apply them, I only do it to one of the 3 shapes that make up my object. How do I combined all the shapes to make an object, so that I can then apply the effect? I'm on PS7.

Smart Objects Save On RAM?
The help doesn't mention this as a benifit (that I can find), but I'm wondering if I can save on RAM by keeping a dozen layers in a smart object rather than keeping those dozen layers in the image itself. I'm starting an image that's 30,000x10,000 pixels (8'x24' banner @ 100DPI), and I know my system is going to choke on all these layers even with 4GB of RAM and dedicated RAID 0 scratch disks.

Smart Objects - Save As PDF
I've got a PSD file in which I have pasted some vector paths from Illustrator as a Smart Object. Everything works as expected. When I save the PSD as a PDF, the PDF that I receive is entirely raster based. The vector based paths are not preserved as vectors - they are rasterized. Is this a limitation of the Smart Objects, or is there some way to yield a PDF which would include the Illustrator generated artwork as vectors?

Resizing Using Smart Objects In CS3
I'm looking at now is described as a 15in by 10in file in the Info Panel. If I'm going to be printing to 4x6 photo paper should I use Smart Objects to downsize this image or does Photoshop print utility automatically do this without affecting the original file quality? If that's the case, then when exactly are Smart Objects even needed?
