very true but it takes him for fucking ever to get to the point. there are many other ways to get this done faster and just as precise

Rudy Gold Yes the step and repeat method is quicker. I've updated the video in Feb 2015 to include that method. "Divide a Circle into Equal Segments using the Step and Repeat Method." kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gayIdZOGybHKXWQ.html I do like to go step by step to help the beginners. Thanks for bringing it up as this video is outdated and really should be replaced by the new one mentioned above.

MagicalFruitTuts Keep educating!!

Thanks for your comment. I just experimented with this and experienced the same problem. I have found the solution. It seems that for very small arc angles, the radius needs to be drawn with vectors. So to draw the Radius use either the line tool with Paths as the method NOT pixels. Or you can draw the radius line with the pen tool. I tried both ways and it worked. By the way, You can greatly speed up the process by using an updated video I made: Photoshop Divide a Circle into Equal Segments using Step and Repeat: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gayIdZOGybHKXWQ.html

Thanks! Before you answered I figured out how to do it by going around at 12 degrees, and then copying all of those and rotating them 6 degrees. Worked out well.

teamsiems You're welcome.

+Ryan Walsh Thanks for your comment. You probably have the ellipse tool pick settings set to Pixels. There are 3 choices in the settings: shape, path, or pixels. You should be using the "Path" setting. If you are using CS5 there are 3 icons. You should choose the middle one which has a pen tip inside a square. Regardless of what version of PS you are using, the elipse tool options should be set to "path" for purposes of this tutorial

Thanks for your comment. By "Arc", I assume you mean similar to a slice of pizza cut out of a pie. First you need to measure or know the angle of the slice. For example, if the slice was 1/4 of the pie, the angle would be (360/4) or 90 degrees. Then divide the 90 degrees by 12 to get 7.5 degrees. 7.5 degrees would be the angle of each of the 12 divisions of the slice. Follow the video procedures and use 7.5 degrees as your angle of rotation. When you come to the part where you use the Carl-Alt-Shift-T, press that combination 12 times and you should end up with a 1/4 slice divided into 12 segments. Hope this helps you. It's a little hard to explain and really deserves a short tutorial. Test it out first with my example numbers and you should be able to figure it out.

MagicalFruitTuts Alrighty, I'm going to look at it now. I managed to create a printed circle divided by 5, then put it on my wooden circle and drew the lines on there. Didn't have to be 100% perfect but it was still quite accurate. www.fotothing.com/photos/6b9/6b9c8c022e93a8bccdd89655baa7d635_451.jpg www.fotothing.com/photos/705/7052e070d1d46595e520c4dde93d9d98_451.jpg

Ray Tejada You're welcome.

Thanks for your comment. I think I see the problem. The radius line has a horizontal line of 6 pixels and is lined up exactly to the center line. This also will line up exactly with segments of 90, 180, and 270 degrees as they are at right angle to the radius line. Any lines in between,for example a 45 degree radius line will not just cover the quadrant that it is in but also cover some of the other 3 quadrants. Sorry to be so technical. One possible fix is to use a smaller radius line either 4 pixels or 2 pixels instead of 6 pixels. Anyway my Main recommendation is to follow my tutorial "Divide a Circle into Equal Curved Segments Using Photoshop". Here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gL2jadGSt97DcaM.html at about 2:40 in that video, I deal with fixing this issue. Anyway, you can make your lines straight instead of curved as is done in that video. To summarize, liken the problem to trying to make circle with equal segments of 45 degrees using paper with a pencil that only has a square end, not a pointed one.

Thanks for your response, I did your other tutorial and it worked!! =D I'm still confused as to why my lines were /really/ far off the first time though - and some of them were getting shorter in length. o,o Not just a matter of it not dividing up perfectly...
