: Photoshop using Marque Tool > Path > Circular But Not a perfect shape? Please consider this image below : This is happened when I have a circular shape (marquee tool selection). THen after
Please consider this image below :
This is happened when I have a circular shape (marquee tool selection). THen after that I converted to Work Path (by right click of that selection). And I add 2.0 as its Tolerance Pixel.
After applying it. The shape become not perfect, could you see the difference? I make it with a black background so everyone could see it from the image no.2.
I realized this is a problem, because If i use that path for placing a text. the text wont follow the correct path as circular (selection), instead ... the shape a bit changed (i think it's ugly shape :: see the detail of the arrow).
How to solve this case ? I'm using Photoshop CS3.

When shrinking raster shapes (or pixel-based selections), Photoshop makes its best guess with what to do with the parts of the selection that are straddling 2 pixels. Unfortunately there's no data in a raster selection that says, "Hey, I'm an ellipse, keep me a perfectly smooth ellipse."
If instead you used vector shapes, duplicated them and then scaled them down, you wouldn't see this issue.
Convert to work path is simply the wrong tool here. Pixel data to path data conversion is not a perfect process. Its a image trace which is also known as a curve fitting. Expecting it to be perfect is the problem here. Use shape tools instead of converting from selections.
