Photoshop :: Random Shapes Appear When Using Vector Mask
Feb 7, 2013For several months I have had random shapes appear in my files when using vector masks. The scrambled imagery only appears at random and at certain zooms (over 25%) and will disappear upon restart of Photoshop. If I flatten the file, it will retain the scrambled imagery, but otherwise it seems to not actually corrupt the data, just the view on screen. I've been fighting this for months and have replaced drives, video cards, and it still persists.

Aug 31, 2013I have created a shape with the pen tool in CS6, I have multiple shapes that I have built into what should be a single shape. Although when the path tool is not on I can see the single shape I can't seem to set a stroke to it which is an important part of the image design.

Oct 16, 2012Vector shapes, very cool! However, when I create the first shape, then choose a different shape, select Subtract Front, and create, it works fine—reverses out the fill, no problem. But if I have to redo the shape, still making sure Subtract Shape is selected, the second time, it doesn't reverse out. I've tried everything I can think of to inverse it... No luck! The only way I can get it to work on a redo, is by relaunching PS and deleting my settings. What am I missing?

Apr 15, 2013The thing is, i made several vector shapes in Illustrator, of course forgot to save the .ai and then my mac went out of power and lost the document.
BUT, before the mac went out of power i imported the shapes into Photoshop, and now their laying there as vector shape layers. Is there any way for me to export the vector shape layers back into illustrator, and still maintain vector edit ability?
Photoshop :: Vector Shapes Rasterized?
Aug 24, 2012I am using Photoshop CS6
I'm in the process of preparing vector graphics for an After Effects motion graphics project. I decided to use the new vector features in CS6 because I am more friendly with the PS interface than I am with Illustrator.
I've created several vector shape layers that now, after some work, now look like rasterized graphics. I'm not exactly sure what happened but I am sure I have not rasterized them myself.
Also, when I import the graphics into After Effects, it gives me no option to collapse transformations or continuously rasterize the layers.
Have I done something to rasterize the shape objects in Photoshop? New shape objects I create are vector. Do I need to start over?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: How To Import Eps Files As VECTOR Shapes?
Dec 12, 2005Ok I know CS2 can import eps files however it converts them to raster images at import.
I also know it can deal with Vector files - as in the 'shape' tool (.CSH format)
How can I easily get my catalogue into the shape tool? ie convert .eps to .csh?
The import is far to unwieldy as I can't even browse my library of eps files...
Photoshop :: Closing Default Vector Shapes
Dec 23, 2004To my surprise I noticed that Photoshop's default shapes like rectangle, triangle, diamond, etc are not closed shapes. Strange, because who wants to pull a corner and then discover that it's actually two points on top of each other?
Is there a quick way to close them without removing the last anchor point and then connecting the 2nd last point with the first one?

Apr 17, 2006i'll be using photoshop overlaying pictures on top of each other. when i go to use a vector mask and the brush tool, the cursor will not be the circle that indicates the size of the brush. instead it is more like the cursor for the marquee tool. and since i dont have the circle indicating the size of the brush, it takes a LOT longer to do the minute touching up of the vector masking.

Photoshop :: How To Properly Import Vector Shapes From Illustrator
Dec 19, 2012I used to be able to copy a shape in Illustrator, paste it in Photoshop, and then duplicate the shape layer, removing what I wanted from each layer.
Now that doesn't seem to work, and what's worse, strokes are all messed up - if I apply a stroke to the whole layer, it isn't all visible. If I delete parts of the layer that are unwanted, certain pieces remain invisible, even if I apply a stroke (and fill, for that matter).
Photoshop :: Vector Shapes, Text Viewing On Screen

View 5 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop Elements :: Vector Tool To Create Unique Shapes?
Dec 13, 2013I've used Photoshop 5 for 14+ years now and was forced to switch to Photoshop Elements 11 when we installed new computers at work recently. It seems to be missing an important tool (for me) that I can't seem to find. I don't know the official name but I called it a "vector" tool. You could draw custom curved and straight lines between set points to create a unique shape. Does it exist or is there a newer way to do the same task?
View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Still Possible To Delete Vector Mask In CS6?
Jun 11, 2012Until CS6, I would routinely toss in a random vector shape and would then drag it's vector mask thumbnail, in the Layers Panel, to the trashcan icon, which left me with a wonderful color-filled, maskless, vector layer that had a Layers Panel color swatch thumbnail I could easily and oh so quickly double-click to change it's floodfill.
Not so in CS6, no vector mask thumbnails anymore (yes, due to the update to overall Layers mechanics).Is a floodfilled layer still possible in CS6?
Photoshop :: Vector Mask Is Grayed Out?
Aug 16, 2013I have been reading about Vector Mask here: URL....but i am still having trouble getting things to work...i get it that i am still having trouble w/the concept but at least i'm not giving up..so, i have a BG layer > New Layer on which i have drawn a Circle and applied some Layer Styles
next, i would like to apply a Vector Mask and then Duplicate the layer and select the Vector Mask ThumbNail in the Duplicated layer so that i can use the Pen tool set to Intersect Shape Area so that i can draw a shape w/the Pen that'll create a "Glossy Effect"
i'm trying to follow to learn more about Vector Mask: URL....here's the section where i am stuck due to a lack of complete instructions and my knowledge/ understanding. how the lesson shows a Vector Mask on the Shape 1 layer and the Duplicate/Copy layer? well, no matter what i try i cannot get a Vector Mask applied in the same way.
when i go to Layer > Vector Mask it is grayed out. ??
how to use/make a Vector Mask but nothing i've read has worked out. i read on another site w/info about Vector Mask that if it is grayed out that i just need to Duplicate the layer but when i do this it is still unavailable.
i've tried using a Layer Mask too to no avail..how do i make the Vector Mask available?
