  Simple question: Filling paths

  Posted by Steven Galvano on May 28, 2005 at 5:44 pm

  I have an old flattened .psd that I’m trying to recreate.

  I have outlined an a complex shape using the pen tool.
  Now, how do I use the “closed path” as a normal layer that I can fill and add effects to?

  Thanks!

  Hold down the apple key and click on the icon of your path (In the paths pallette) This will make a selction from the path. Create a new layer and fill the selection. If your wanting to work with that portion of your image, do a copy and paste into, This will copy the selected portion of the image and paste it on a new layer.
