Try Photoshop Assistant--EXTENSIS Photo Graphics
When we use photoshop, we often want to draw some geometric figures, words arranged in curves, etc. But this is often a big headache, because this function is simply not available in Photoshop. Ask prawns online, often telling you to use Coreldraw or Illustrator to complete the production. So you have to spend hundreds of megabytes of space to install the big guys like Illustrator, and then export the graphics files after drawing in them, and finally have to deal with them in Photoshop. Think about whether it is too wasteful to use these big guys just to draw some simple graphics, and it is not very convenient to use. How to do? ! In fact, it is very simple, everything is solved by installing the Photo Graphics filter produced by EXTENSIS.
First download this filter in the software download in design.cnroot.com, the size is about 3M. Then install it in Photoshop's plug-ins directory (the same as most filters are installed). After starting Photoshop, we found that there is an additional EXTENSIS submenu in the Filter menu, and there is only one command-Photo Graphics ... in this submenu. Select this command, we will find a filter interface pops up. It looks similar to Photoshop, with a toolbox on the left and a floating panel on the right. The entire interface is very refreshing.
First, let's take a look at the tools provided to us in the toolbox. Although the tools provided in this filter are not as many as those in Photoshop, they are sufficient. This toolbox contains the move tool, text tool, line tool, pen tool, rectangle tool, circle tool, polygon tool, zoom tool, color absorption tool, rotation tool, hand tool, and zoom-in tool. And the setting of border color and fill color. These tools are very similar to Illustrator, if you are a master of Illustrator, you will get started quickly.
The first moving tool can be used to move the drawn graph and the nodes on the graph. The method of use is the same as that of all the mobile tools of the graphics software, so there is no need to talk much.
The second tool is the text tool. When it is used in the general state, we will find that there is a text area limit around the text. By dragging the limit box with the mouse, we can change the size of the text area. We can also let the text be arranged according to the path. First draw a geometric shape or curve, and then use the text tool to click on the edge of the geometric shape or curve. This is that the input text is arranged according to the edge of the geometric shape, which is very convenient.
Double-click this tool text tool and we found a dialog box pops up, in this dialog box we can create or edit the text style. Press New ... (new) or t ... (edit) and Duplicate ... (duplicate) we can set the style of text in the pop-up dialog box, such as text size, font, word spacing, Font scaling, bolding, italics, etc.
The third tool is a linear tool. Using it we can draw straight lines. The method is the same as other software, so I won't talk much about it.
The fourth tool is the pen tool. With this tool we can easily draw the curve. Like Illustrator, each node has two control points. Using these two control points, we can control the curved shape of the curve.
The fourth tool is the rectangle tool. This tool is of course used to draw rectangles. Double-clicking the tool icon here will also bring up a dialog box. When we select the Enable Round Corners option, the rectangle drawn at this time is the rounded rectangle. The bottom Horizon Radius (Vertical Radius) and Vertical Radius (Vertical Radius) are used to adjust the radius parameters.
The fifth is the circle tool for drawing circles. The method is the same as other software.
The sixth tool is the polygon tool. Double-click this icon to adjust the number of sides in the pop-up dialog box. The Star Shape option allows polygons to be converted into stars. Radius is used to adjust the radius of the star.
The next tool is the zoom tool. Through it we can scale the graph in equal proportions. The method of use is the same as its graphics processing software.
The seventh tool is the color-absorbing tool. Using it, we can absorb the colors in the picture as easily as Photoshop.
The eighth tool is a rotating tool. We can use it to rotate the graph conveniently. Like Illustrator, when we rotate the graphic there is a center point, we can use the mouse to move the center point, and change the rotation method.
The ninth and tenth tools are hand tools and magnification tools, respectively. These two tools are the same as those in Photoshop, through which we can change the preview view, making it easier for us to manipulate the graphics.
Just like Photoshop, there is a floating panel on the right side of the interface. There are four labels on the floating panel-Text (text), Layer (layer), Color (color), Option (operation). Like Photoshop, we can also drag the label to make it a separate floating panel. Let's take a closer look at the role of parameters in the floating noodle class.
In the Text tab, we can see that the parameters of the text here are very much, including almost all the operations of the text that can be imagined. In the drop-down menu we can choose the font. There is a button on the right of the font drop-down menu. In this button, we can set the font to bold, italic, bold and italic. Below this button, we can see that there is an icon for a new page button. Press this button, we find that an Edit Character Style window appears. In this window, we can edit the font style, and then save this font style for our next use. A pen-shaped button next to the button allows us to edit the saved style, which is the same as double-clicking the text button in the toolbox. The next button must be recognized by everyone looking at the icon-center left, right, center, scattered alignment, horizontal text, vertical text. The eight buttons below the font drop-down menu are normal, bold, italic, underline, superscript, subscript, uppercase and lowercase letters. The following parameters from top to bottom are font size, line spacing, baseline position, font width, font height, and word spacing.
In the Colors tab, we can easily select colors. Just like Photoshop, we can select the color mode in the menu in the arrow on the upper right corner of the floating panel-RGB, CMYK, grayscale mode, HSB mode, etc., so that we can easily choose the color. In the lower half of the floating panel are the commonly used colors. Of course, we can also add commonly used colors ourselves. By pressing the New button at the end of the floating panel, we can quickly add our commonly used colors to the commonly used colors.
In Layer, we can control the layer. The layer control here is quite similar to Illustrator's layer control. Press the New button at the bottom of the floating panel to create a new layer; the Delete button next to it is of course to delete the layer. Each layer has a different color. When we select an object, we can clearly know which layer the object is on. In front of the layer, there are two buttons marked with eyes and pen. Through these two buttons, we can hide the layer and prohibit editing the layer. The Opacity slider is used to adjust the transparency of the layer, which is the same as most graphics software.
The Options tab contains the adjustment of the edge parameters. Stroke is used to adjust the thickness of the edge; Miter is used to adjust the angle of the corner; the three buttons in Caps are used to adjust the shape of the end point of the line segment; the three buttons in Joints are used to control the shape of the corner; the Close option behind is used to control Whether the closed graphic is closed; Opacity is used to adjust the transparency of the line; the last slider is used to adjust the degree of anti-aliasing of the line.
Now let us look at the commands in the menu bar. The menu bar of this filter contains seven menus-File, Edit, Graphic, Text, View, Windows, and Help.
In the File menu, we can see that most of the file operations are included here. The New command is our most common command, and we will not spend much time here; Open From Image ... command we can open the file with Save With Image. The advantage of this is that we can save the edited graphics and images, so that we can repeatedly edit the graphics drawn by EXTENSIS Photo Graphics in the future (note that this is a special graphic format of EXTENSIS Photo Graphics); Open Last Applied commands can Open the last graphic we edited; the Save With Image command is of course the previously mentioned saving the graphic and the image together; the Save as ... command is of course a save file; the Revert command can restore all your drawings to the original state This is the same as the Revert command in Photoshop; the Edit Drawing ... command can be used to perform the Rename and Delete operations on the image file saved by Save With Image. The Save To Disk ... command can save the graphics drawn by EXTENSIS Photo Graphics as a separate file with the suffix xdf (note that only the graphics can be saved here, and the images cannot be saved at the same time as Save With Image; Open From Disk. .. Of course, the command is to open the saved xdf file; the Apply command is to apply the drawn graphics to the current image; the Apply With Erase command can erase the image on the current layer, leaving only the drawn Graphics; Apply to New Layer command is to build the drawn graphics on a new layer; Cancel will not need me to talk about it.
The Edit menu contains some editing commands. Undo, Redo, Cut Copy Paste Delete are the most common commands, so I wo n’t go into details here. The two commands Past In Front and Past In Back in this menu can paste the copied graphics in front of or behind other graphics; the Duplicate command can duplicate the graphics in multiples; the Select All and Select None commands are of course all selected graphics Or give up the choice; in Preferences we can set the Extra Workspace workspace size, the number of Undo / Redo and the color of the borders of the Guides grid and Image Border in the pop-up dialog box.
The Graphic menu contains some commands for graphic operations. The four commands of Bring to Front, Bring Forward, Send Backward, and Send To Back are used to organize and arrange the order of the graphics. They can make the graphics be placed to the front, forward, back, and back. ; Group group command is also a common command in graphics processing software. It can group graphics and facilitate the management of graphics; Ungroup's role is to ungroup; Lock and Unlock All commands can lock or unlock. Use these two commands to prevent the inadvertently changed graphics from being inadvertently modified; the Hide and Show ALL commands can hide or unhide the graphics;
The Offset command allows us to move the graph precisely. In the pop-up dialog box, we can adjust the position of the figure according to the values ​​filled in Horizontal and Vertical, and we can also arrange the position of the figure according to the distance and angle of movement.
The Scale command allows us to accurately scale the graph. In the dialog box that pops up, we adjust the scale of the graphic precisely according to the values ​​filled in Horizontal and Vertical. There is a Constrain Proportion option below. After this option is selected, the zoomed graphic at this time is the proportional zoom based on the aspect ratio.
The Rotate command also allows us to rotate the graph precisely. The method of use is also very simple. Filling in the precise angle in the pop-up dialog box will allow the graphics to rotate according to this filled angle.
The last few commands are relatively simple, they can make the graphics flip horizontally, vertically, 90 degrees clockwise, 90 degrees counterclockwise, and 180 degrees.
In the Text menu, you actually move the commands and parameters on the floating panel to this menu. There won't be much effort here.
The illustrated commands are concentrated in the View menu. The commands of Zoom In, Zoom Out, Zoom 100%, and Fit In View can enlarge the icon, reduce the icon, and zoom to 100%, suitable for preview; the Display at Resolution command allows the drawn graphics to be displayed in the most accurate way ; The Default Preview default display can only show the layer being drawn in the illustration; the Composite Preview command can display all layers and drawn graphics; the Drawing Only command only displays the drawn graphics, while hiding other Image; Hide Edges command can hide the boundary of the selected object; Hide Rulers command can hide the ruler in the filter; Hide Guides command is used to hide the guide line; Snap To Guides command can let the object suck the guide line; Lock Guides and Clear Guides You can lock the auxiliary line and clean the auxiliary line.
The indows menu allows you to hide or show the toolbar and various floating panels.
Help is to help. After reading this article, you can take a look here.
