e.g. : if stroke thickness is 5pt, now i want to convert stroke to fill.
When you use the Photoshop CS6 new function stroke on the path of a vector shape, how can you convert the result in a vector shape ? Merging multiple vector shapes doesn't work. The strokes outlines are not vectorized in the new vector shape.
It's possible to convert in pixel and keep the stroke drawing, but no way to convert in vector. Illustrator has a similar function in order to vectorize the stroke.
I just thought I would ask... and it may be impossible... Is there a way to convert text to a stroke/strokes instead of a filled path?

I tried using the line selection tool to create a stroke path in the shape of the design I wanted, but I can't get it to emulate this brush (it always just fades to opaque instead of tapering to a point).
Seeing this in several tutorials, but I don't know how. Am I missing something? (Google won't tell me either)

For instance, I have a regular line with a stroke of 5 and then add a brush profile, which then converts the original stroke to whatever the brush was made at.
I'm trying to stroke my work path with a brush I tailored myself. now, when I create a workpath from my text layer and switch to my top layer to try and choose 'stroke path' the option is shaded out.

"Load path from selection" is not an option because it deforms my path.
Having made a (ex circular) closed path within a (ex square) path, I want to turn this into a selection in which the inner circle is omitted from the selection. But when choosing "Make Selection", only the first option,"New Selection" is available, the other three are grey (Add to, Subtract from and Intersect).
This used to work in CS7,
I've tried every permutation of copy and paste; I renamed the path to path. It looks like a path when I add stroke, but it does not behave like one. I can't cut it or join it to any other path. It remembers it's text path status. I'm running OS X 10.7.5.

The answer I found said to select the path and hit Command+C+F. This gives me another text path! I now have at least 6 copies of the path in my files but they are ALL text paths and none are visible with a stroke.

Basically ive gone to paths selected the workpath then gone to the bottom and hit stroke path with brush. Ive got a 6px round brush on but all its doing is stroking the bits where the path points originated. This has left me with a join the dot type situation.
I am having problems creating a stroke path in Photoshop CS. I will create a new path, and then apply a stroke path with brush tool setting. For some reason it only is stroking each anchor point and now along the line (path).
So basically I have a basic wave path. It has 3 anchor points, and the stroke path is only making a circle around each anchor point rather than stroking along the path. It is real frustrating because I tried all different settings on the pen tool. Are there specific settings I should have set when creating my path? What am I doing wrong?
I created a path using the pen tool, but when I try the stroke path option it just doesn't do anything. I have selected my brush, changed the width of brush, etc. But when I stroke the path and choose brush and click ok, the path always looks the same as before.

I used the pentool to draw a path, but the stroke path option isn't available.
I am using Photoshop CS6. I am not in quickmask, I am using the essentials pallete I am creating a path not a shape, and I have a new blank layer selected. When I right click on my path, stroke path is available but it just won't do anything. I have been able to get it to work by going to my paths palette and selecting stroke path from there but that is a lot more time consuming.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've created a rectangle and a shape with the bezier tool. I've tried to make the stroke thicker but can't. I've tried selecting the path/mask several ways and chosen different tools in the toolbox but no matter what I do, the Stroke option in the menu is greyed out.
is there a way to do this?
either edit the stroke afterwards - or even specify the width before drawing a path?
I use the pen tool to set the points then right click to select stroke path, select the brush and click ok.
Nothing happens. The blue tube appears so it's processing the command but still nothing happens.
I created a brush and I have created a path. What I want to happen is for the brush to follow the path and keep the angle of the path. What I mean is the brush should stay perpendicular to the path. So that on angles...the brush takes that angle. Does that make sense? Let me explain exactly what I have done. I created a brush that is just a rectangle that is about 1px wide and about 7px tall. I have created a path around some text. I want the brush to follow the path around so that it looks like stitching. But what is happening is on the vertical sides..the brush is staying vertical.

I've been following instructions and it's all been working until I try to make a stroke path and it's disabled. I've read through these forums and have done everything suggested (ie. made sure the pen tool is set to paths in option bar, made sure the pen icon is chosen when I right click to 'stroke path', ...)
Here's what I did...
1. Set the pen tool to create new work paths
2. Used pen to outline the face in the photo. Finished the shape so the path joins up.
3. Right click to choose stroke paths
I'm using PS CS3 Version 10. Can anyone tell me why I can't access stroke path when I right click?
I mostly use photoshop for lineart on some pictures I do but the biggest problem is that the lines are not really smooth. I want to Use Illustrator just to ink the pen tool paths and then return it to photoshop to color. This is a recently finished picture I did using the Pen tool traced on top of a sketch I scanned. I want to know if there is any way I could do something similar to "Stroke path" in Illustrator so that I could get this picture done with crisper lines and if not.
