Picture Frames arranged on Circle Path


NotMyFault

Recommended Posts

Hi,

if you want to create a photo collage of images, arranged along a circular shape, you may download my assets file.

Usage:

  • Download asset file
  • Import Assets into Designer or Photo
  • Drag one of the example assets (3, 4, 5, 12 picture frames around a circle) to you file
  • Place images directly into the picture frames by drag and drop, from Stock Panel, or from file system

There are 2 variants:

  • rot: Pictures will be rotated when placed
  • hor: Pictures stay horizontally when placed

I added color tags to the layers (blue: picture frames, red: curves used for masking crescent shape)

  • You can use "Select Same Color Tag" to adjust multiple layers, e.g. removing or changing the stroke to the crescent

If you need different  count of images, or different shapes, or sizes, all can be created in about 3-5 minutes.

  • The asset contains a helper shape. Drag it on your canvas
  • Select shape tool, adjust the number of points for star. Adjust star size and/or circle size
  • Activate snapping for objects (deactivate snapping for grid / pixel)
  • Add the shape you want (e.g. circle)
  • Add a layer color tag to shape
  • Select move tool
  • Activate center anchor point
  • activate "Enable Transform Origin", move origin to star center (this gives rotated images. Use lower center anchor point if you need placed images unrotated)
  • duplicate
  • rotate by 360/number of star points
  • select both shapes
  • geometry>subtract
  • add picture Fram from asset library
  • set other layer color tag to picture frame
  • nest picture frame to shape
  • use power-duplicate to create required number of copies, and rotate them
  • group or nest to a "vector layer" / layer layer, rename to taste
  • add to assets
  • have fun

Here you find the updated version with helper. It is just a star shape.

Align to canvas center (when using 8 points, otherwise bounding box will be asymmetrical).

I would probably be asymmetrical after using 8 pints! (Thought I would get in there first before Alfred noticed it.)

I shouldn't write tutorials without grammar correction after downing 1/2 bottle of wine.
