  • Expand & Contract Shapes Accurately to create Nested Vector Shapes in Photoshop
    Learn to perfectly scale any shape! It sounds easy to do but it is not easy to create perfectly nested shapes in Photoshop when you are working with complex shapes. While circles and rectangles nest easily - fancy shapes such as paisleys and organic shapes won't reduce correctly so you can't simply shrink or expand them by dragging on their sizing handles. This video shows you a way to reduce and expand vector shapes in Photoshop so you can create a series of shapes of decreasing size quite quickly and easily.

    @prakkari 4 роки тому +2

    How about selct>modify>contract. Make an emty layer and then fill the contracted selection. After that its possible to convert to shapes.

    @psiops277 9 років тому +1

    This was cool.... kinda similar to what I was doing. Everything i was doing is the same except that i would make a selection and either contract or expand the selection with giving th object a stroke. Now i have two ways... Good stuff

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  9 років тому

      psiops277 Awesome, I am glad you found a second way - it will help when you want more than just a second scaled down version as you can't add two strokes to a shape in Photoshop.
      Oh, and thanks for stopping by my channel!

    • @psiops277
      @psiops277 9 років тому +1

      No, you can not... I do find myself using Ai and Ps in conjunction for some things, but mostly Ai for print projects...

    Need to size shapes so they fit neatly inside each other - if your shapes are organic - (think paisley, elephant, umbrella) simple resizing doesn't work - the shapes don't nest. My method shows you how to achieve this nested resizing in #Photoshop #photoshoptutorials #photoshopcc #photoshopcc2014

  • @jorisbonson386
    @jorisbonson386 7 років тому

    And what''s wrong with selecting the shape path > make selection > contract selection > shape from selection? :-/

      Hmm, but it isn't impossible. That is what this video is all about.
