Yes. Draw a flat shape.

Drag it to the Panel forms.

Choose the model of brush, and then click OK. Then click OK in the second window.

Now draw a circle, and then click the brush that you did in the Panel forms.

  • How to create a circle of multiple segment?

    Hi guys,.

    I need some advice on how to create a circle segmented as shown in the picture as an attachment. I have it as a jpg, but I want to create it in Illustrator so I could have more control over the parts. For example, while the image shows three segments, I may have to add another in the image (this is the part of a demo of process).

    Advice/help greatly appreciated.

    See you soon

    Carl,

    You can (all circles are concentric):

    (1) create two circles, indoor and outdoor, and oppose > compound path > make.

    (2) create an auxiliary outside circle, extending outside the extreme parts to make arrows

    (3) create a tip of arrow in the center of the circles; to avoid its pointing outwards (too), you can place its Center (rather than the part which can / base) in the Center.

    (4) move a copy of the arrow by the width of the desired interval, cut to side anchors and remove the base segment (and filling) If you have a path composed of two curved segments.

    Movement 5) a copy of 4) at the top of the arrow Tip 3).

    6 move 3) 4) and 5), in position with the centre between the two circles (from the average of the rays) and turn all of them as well as the circle auxiliary so that you get all the arrows placed in the right way (120 3, 90 degrees to 4 degrees, etc.).

    (7) hide/remove the auxiliary of the circles,

    (8) hide arrowheads,

    (9) select (Ctrl / Cmd + A) and Pathfinder > divide and remove unneded parts, namely the gaps and the funny thingy in the middle.

    Now you have the parts of the circle in a simplified version since they would be without the sides of arrow sticking out (some do),.

    (10) show arrowheads, and then select each with the corresponding part of circle and Pathfinder > unit (or Add to shape area or whatever it is called in your version).

    (You can color the parts as desired in connection with 9 arrow/circle) or 10).

  • How to create a circle from the Center?

    Hello. I'm using PS CS3 and I want to create a perfect circle around the Center. How do you do that?

    I know not pressing SHIFT while dragging makes it perfectly round. I also read that pressing alt at the same time he draws in the Center, but it does not work, it just all just with the eyedropper tool. Am I missing something or is there another way to do it?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If you click and hold the mouse pointer and press the Alt key and drag, it should work.

    In addition, once you start dragging, add the SHIFT key to constrain to a circle.

  • How to create a fuzzy circle of which the text is transparent

    Hello

    Relatively new to the PS and Fireworks used for years. I've seen the effect often and I was wondering how to create myself. After a lot of time that I can't get my head around it.

    Does anyone know how to create a circle bluffed with the text when the text is transparent it please? (like the picture below)

    I have a slider on a website with a number of images where I add this fuzzy circle so that any image behind can be seen.

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    blur circle clear text.JPG

    Yes, this is why you need the mask to the group. It masks the blurry image as well as white. I have your layer 1 copy completely filled with white. To make the layer mask, you can do it several ways. To make one with the form you all ready in layer 1 copy, ctrl-click on the layer icon to make a selection (you can also make a new selection using the Oval Marquee tool). Select the group, and then click the layer at the bottom of the Layer palette. You can also use the shape tool and create a path (you want a path and not a form or pixel layer). Once the path is created and active (still selected), select the group, but this time hold down ctrl/cmd key when you click on the mask icon. This will make a vector mask, which is easier to change and move later.

  • How to create a form of clipping as a slice of circle paths?

    I want to make a DVD label by dividing the circle into 8 equal slices (like cutting a pie 4 times). In each installment, I'll put a photo of an actor in it.

    I think I need to create 8 layer with 8 slices of picture, each layer Gets a clipping path that has the shape of a slice of 45 degrees of the circle. Once I have this setup I can paste photos into layers and adjust photos up to what it seems good in confines of each slice.

    The question is how to create these paths of clipping in the form for a share of the cake? I've already drawn a circle of 120mm (using the elipse tool), indicating the outer limit of the dvd label. But I do not know how to cut in 8 specific increments of 45 degrees of each. Help?

    Basically, fair value guides on tangents bounding the circle four and also two it crosses both horizontally and vertically. The intersections of the guide resulting allows to draw the eight sections of the circle. Then, just use the intersect mode in your tool path overlap each of these 8 triangles with a copy of the original circle.

  • How to create a film of time

    I use 10.1.2 Imovie, how to create a period film. It is easy to add the photos of the project, but how shorten the exposure time, its default value is 4 sec. There are lots of tips for previous editions of iMovie.

    Hi, Don ground

    In the timeline, select all your clips in batch (Edit/Select All).  Then click the Info button in the toolbar at the top of your screen.  (One that has an 'i' with a circle around it).   In the duration box that appears on the right type, in any length of time of the clip you want and press the return key on your keyboard.   All your clips will change the duration that you set.  I was able to settle as fast second que.1.

    With respect to the default setting of 4 seconds, which can be changed by clicking iMovie/preferences, then change the default time in the dialog box that results.   You have to do this early in your project, before you add clips, so that the new default touch.

    Have fun.

  • How to create a photo striped double exposure?

    Hello!

    Does anyone know how to create a picture like that? (:

    Kind regards
    Lina

    First get the picture of how you want it to look with curves B & W, etc.

    Go view > presentation of the new Guide and increase the columns to give you the required width.  You need to do to keep him still, or it won't work.

    Make a new layer and make sure Snap is on. Then use the marquee tool to make a rectangular selection between each second guide and fill it with black.  This layer is there to allow you to reload the selection.

    The portrait layer must be above the layer of black lines.  CTRL, click on the black lines to load selection

    .. .and add a layer mask to the layer portrait

    Copy the layer of portrait

    Turn guides on (Ctrl);

    Drag the layer of picture copied to the left until it snaps to the guides

    Select the original layer of the portrait and drag to the right until it snaps

    Turn guides (Ctrl);

    Select the layer mask on the portrait top layer and invert (Ctrl I)

    The overal and contour shape will depend on the priginal portrait and the width of the columns.

    You can refine the alignment using free transform on the layers of two portrait but you must ungroup layer masks (where the red circles are).

    1. create a circle with a black outline and the transparent fill

    2. use the scissors tool to create a Groove in the circle. Adjust the ends to your taste with the direct Selection tool.

    3. create a black oval thin and convert it into an art form. Select tints colorization method.

    4. draw the original shape of the circle with the art brush. Color as needed.

    If the ends that overlap are not necessary, you won't have to break the way, but I think it looks better this way.

    If you use CS2, you can use the layer style > stroke and adjust the opacity of fill to 0. It would be more difficult to make a dotted line. Most likely, you will need to create a mask for this.

    Simon,

    If you mean less than a full circle, you can select directly one of the 4 segments and press DELETE to remove 25%; for the other angles, you can use the scissors tool or a path as described below.

    If you want the part circle to be filled, you can add straight segments of the Center to the ends of the circumference, otherwise the fact already in connection with the cut that in the solution below.

    You can click where you want to cut with the scissors tool, or you can create a straight path that goes from the Center to the circumference, turn then a copy around the center of the desired angle, then select both and Ctrl / Cmd + J to join them, then object > path > divide objects below, and then delete the unwanted path. The remaining part will take place through the partial circumference and in the Center.
