Dilligas Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'm trying to design a new tatoo, but I'm having a little trouble with part of it. I want to put 3 zodiac signs in a circle. so basically I need to cut the circle into 3 equal segments. I can't figure out how to do it. I drew a 5 pixel ring in PS, and I can bisect the ring w/ a 5 pixel line, but I can't figure out how to make 3 equal shapes in the circle. Needless to say I want the lines 5 Pix wide. Hopefully I'm explaining this right so someone will understand. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Dilligas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Find the centre of the circle, draw your 5px line from centre to the outside, triplicate the layer containing the line, and rotate the second and third layers at 120 and 240 degrees, clockwise? You may have to manually recentre them to align to the circle. Just an idea. Not sure if it would work, but it seems appropriate, in theory.

IDIWA Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Do it in illustrator or freehand (as they will give you a lot more control in setting up the 120 degree segments) and then import it as an eps into photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
