Photoshop :: Paths Not Working!
Mar 8, 2009
Basically, I open photoshop, and I select the pen tool. I then make a small shape, like a square or circle or something with it. So now obviously, I have a closed work path in such a shape.
Black is my foreground colour. I right click the path with the pen tool still selected, and choose 'Fill Path' and click ok. But for some reason, it's everything but the path that gets filled with black!
how I did this, but does anyone know how to change it so that it's the area that's boxed off which gets filled, rather than the area outside it?

I have an image of a dohnut on a plate. I want a clippint path around the dohnut and one in the dohnut hole. Using the option icons does not give me a result of just a dohnut for placement over a color or image background in an Indesign page. I've tried this on Mac and it works just fine. What's the problem with my Photoshop CS4 on Windows?

Photoshop CS5 - Working with the pen tool is something I do a lot but it is such a pain because I can barely make the lines out sometimes. It can get so bad that my eyes hurt. I found, adding an adjustment layer and changing the level. This kind of works but I find it difficult to believe that they can't be made more visable. Turning off the anti-aliasing hasn't seemed to have made any difference either.

Is CS6 any better?

Since version CS it was very easy working with paths with the direct selection tool. I just upgraded to Photoshop CC, and noticed this annoying bug:
When I select and anchor point using the Direct Selection Tool, I can no longer de-select it clicking inside the shape. This is so frustrating when working with icons.
Â
I used to grab the Path Selection Tool to select the entire vector shape, then I switched to the Direct Selection Tool if I wanted to modify a specific anchor point. All I needed to do was clicking inside the shape, then select the anchor point I wanted to work with. Now if I switch from the Path tool to the Direct Selection one, if I click inside the shape it doesn't deselect anything, if I click on an anchor point, it doesn't deselect the other anchor points. I figured out that if I click on the path of a different vector shape, then I can go back and select an anchor point on the vector shape I was working with, but it's too much work for de-selecting a point.Is it a bug or a new way Photoshop CC behaves?

Is there any "view" that enables you to see the path/shape lines (not the fill, just the lines) that you have done in different layers?
I hate to keep switching opacity on and off to see where the other lines end and stuff.. I know you can turn of and on the paths with CTRL ALT H, but that is only for one layer.. and I want to see them for all the layers while Im working on one.

Having a lot of issues manipulating points on paths in Illustrator CC - this is a fundamental feature of creating vector graphics and it's very annoying I'm paying for this and it's just not working. Eating up a lot of my time simply because I can't select or convert or add the anchor.

I want to join two paths to create a shape that I can fill but at the same time retain one of the original paths (the red one in the image below). I can copy the path I want to retain but surely there is a more elegant solution. See below for for an illustration:

Since upgrading to Photoshop CS, if I try to make a selection from a complex path, only the outer perimeter of the path selects. Any interior "holes" are ignored. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just something new that I've missed. I've been working with photoshop paths for as long as they've existed, but this has me utterly baffled.

I'm trying to make some eyelashes using the pen tool. When I click on stroke path the only thing that seem to get the foreground colour are the anchor points.

Can you convert a path into a line? Like I've got a line drawn with the pen, is there anyway I can just convert that into an actual line?

CS4- I see my beautiful path on the path layer, and as a newbie what I think I want to do is to use it on a shape layer. How do I do that? Do I have to save it as a custom shape first?

We are finding that paths are not following when saving a PSD as a PNG file. We have tried with and without compression, interlaced and not. This was not an issue on CS5, but seems to be on CS6.
How to fix it without reverting to workflow on CS5 or pulling over the paths from the PSD after creating the PNG by hand?

I started creating a path, but I somehow interrupt the process and now I don't know how to continue. Whenever I try create new point I create a new path, but I want to continue with making my original (unfinished) path.

I've recently started using Photoshop CS5. For some reason when I select a path and hit command T to transform it, it doesn't work. The transform ignores that I have the path selected and trys to transform whichever layer is active.

I am trying to create a logo that incorporates a circle and a picture of a dog.
Now I want to acheive a look where the dogs legs are hanging over one part of the circle but the circle is covering the rest of his body as though he had put his head througha hole in the wall.
I have been trying to acheive this with clipping paths but I can't see how to recreate the smooth lines of the original circle.

In some tutorials they make selections and store them into a channel. In others they use the pen tool and store the selection as a path.
Are these two ways or doing the same thing or they have different uses?
What are the pros and cons of each one?

The thing is this: I have some paths (shapes) that I want to combine into one path and trim all the excess path lines. I can put the paths into the same path-layer by just copying/pasting that works fine, but the paths are still NOT really combined.
I have made an example to illustrate my point, please have a look at that.
1) I've created paths 1 and 2
2) I combined them into another path-layer
3) Thought the thing I need is anchor points at the intersection so I added those
4) When I delete the anchor points whithin the combined shape, the whole shape distorts and it shows that it really is not a combined path but just two separate paths in the same layer! I can't seem to trim the red marked lines off the path.
My question basically is how to remove the red marked part of those paths and combine them into a 'really-one-path' shape that follows the outline of the combined shape?
I have tried to create an outline path by turning the combined path into a selection and then create a path from that selection, that doesn't produce a nice smooth path when the shape is more complex...

I am working my way through both Martin Evenings "PSCS for Photographers" and Barbara Obermeiers "PSCS for Dummies" (thats me I think) and I'm really struggling to understand curved paths.Does anyone know of a site that explains them in very basic terms i.e. kids stuff?.
As I understand it when I drag from a straight segment to create a new path for a curve and release the mouse and I should get an anchor point and one direction line and one direction point,but all I seem to get is what appears to be a tiny plus sign at the end of the line.

I'm using the Pen Tool to draw several paths; I need to draw each path with reference to the other, previously drawn, paths. This is where I encountered a problem with Photoshop CS3: whenever I create a new path, the old ones become invisible, and I can only see one path at a time - the one that's selected in the Paths panel.
Is there any way to control the visibility of the different existing paths (as you can, for example, with layers) and to make several (unstroked) paths be visible simultaneously?

I am taking stills from an animation of a land based radar setup for monitoring sea ice. In photoshop, I use the path tool to delineate the edge of the landfast ice, and I want to save the line only with the pixel coordinates, so I can put that line on any image from the animations and it will be in the same place.

What does someone want when they say "send me some images at 300 DPI with clipping paths" ?
I get the resolution, I'll make them 300 PPI...but what is a clipping path? Does that just mean that they want them cropped? They have not specified a size or aspect ratio.

even though I will mostly be taking a break from hobbyist graphic design (I'll actually be taking a course on it so I wont be away from it completely), one of the games I play is running a contest that involves graphic work. I decided to do it and am stumbling into a problem that I've had before but never asked about:
Is there a way for me to add on to an existing path with the pen tool and build from there IF the path is closed?

I have a document in which I need to outline several objects seperately, when I do so and place the Photoshop file into Illustrator nothing shows up. It seems as though when I outline one item it will work but as soon as I outline multiple items (seperately) it will not work.
