Distribute Shapes Evenly for Graphics and Logos in Adobe Photoshop
Learn how to distribute shapes evenly along a path in Photoshop. This isn't something that Photoshop can do easily so you have to employ a workaround and this is it! I'll show you how to space objects along a path and even rotate them as you do so if that's what you want to do.

If you are using a version of Photoshop that has the scripted pattern fill option, you 'might' find a solution in that tool. Check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNWCgKeb28vIcZs.html Play with the option and let me know how you go!

What version is your Photoshop

@catherineheadey6381 7 жыл бұрын

Neat! Thanks! What do you do if you want the stars' fill to be transparent? I tried using Pathfinder to do this the usual way but I'm guessing that won't work where the open path forms part of the shape. Any suggestions?

@HelenBradley 7 жыл бұрын

Catherine. I am not sure I understand what is the issue here. The open path should have no effect on the fill for the stars. Make your stars with a stroke and a transparent fill and it should work just fine. If I am totally missing the point, let me know where the problem is and I'll try to help.

@sheadey1 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Helen, sorry I meant to add this question to the video on how to do this in Ai. When I applied the technique shown in 'Make a Circle of Stars in Illustrator Quickly and Easily' i created the stars with transparent fill, but obviously the background ring showed through. So i tried to select all stars so I could apply Pathfinder>minus front and cut them out of the background (starting with same scenario as you have with stars on a ring), but they would not be selected. So I couldn't make the ring of stars transparent to the background when they were on the ring. this is for a T-shirt so the background colour of the shirt needs to 'shine' through the stars. thanks for any advice :-)

@HelenBradley 7 жыл бұрын

Ok, if you made your stars in Illustrator using a blend, then you have to expand the blend to be able to select the stars. So, select the blended stars, choose Object > Expand and then try Minus Front. See how that goes.

Thank you for your helpful video. But please tell from where do you take the colour pallet which is at the right containing square boxes of colour shades.

@HelenBradley 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Rajesh, sorry for taking so long to reply but I had to watch the video again to see what you were talking about. The colour palette which you see on the screen is a built in Photoshop Extension. In the most recent versions of Photoshop you see it by choosing Window > Extensions > Adobe Color Themes. Choose Explore and then type a word like icecream to view colour schemes which are tagged as icecream colours. If you encounter problems, let me know - I think this might make a good video topic - what do you think?

What if you just want a few or one star evenly aligned across from each other on the circle? How would you remove the other stars?

@HelenBradley 9 жыл бұрын

KhaoticKim I would select the set of stars and then choose Object > Expand to break it into individual stars. Then choose Object > Ungroup to ungroup them and finally remove the ones you don't want. Let me know if this doesn't work for you?

@HelenBradley 8 жыл бұрын

+Nick Doe Nick, if you would like to share this knowledge, please feel free to do so. Just saying there is an easier way isn't really advancing the conversation - I would be interested in hearing how to do it more easily. That said, I do have another video that shows an alternate way: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7xxiaWhtM7LZ6M.html&lc and if you watch it, you will see that there is a subtle difference in the resulting rotation - so, perhaps this is your recommended way? If so, we should note that the result is different and, if you want a rotation like the one I show in the video above, then this is the way to do it and whether it is easy or not not really isn't the question - it would then be more about achieving the desired result or not.

@cmosleytsx 7 жыл бұрын

not sure is the way was ever explained but if you make the shape one a separate layer then do define brush it will automatically make a brush for the shape

@alexsoph 7 жыл бұрын

That's definitely no the way to go about it!! 1.You Create the pattern that you desire (Star, Circle, Pokemon) and place wherever you want your pattern to start 2.Click, Ctrl + Alt + T and drag the anchor point to the center of your canvas 3. On the top bar, type in the number of degrees you want your patterns to be apart of each other(360/number of patterns desired) and then press enter 4. Click, Shift +Ctrl + Alt + T as many times required to complete the circle (this copies your previous pattern with the degrees of separation)

@HelenBradley 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your added information Alex. Your process is simpler if you want the stars to rotate as they go around the shape. If you don't - then your process won't work. Yours will not result in the stars all pointing the same direction. The example shown can be used for either result, but yours is, of course, the simplest if you want the shape itself to rotate at the same time it rotates around the central point.
