    Hello everyone. I am new to cc.

    In Photoshop, I wish to create zig-zag lines, & not creating individual line layers. Is there some way that I can create zig zag lines like Illustrator (Fill-None, Stroke-Any color). Thanks in advance.

    Photoshop has a zig zag filter, but that is totlaly different.

    Since you have Illustrator, I would make your sawtooth siz zag in Illustrator and copy/paste that into photoshop. You can choose to paste this as a bitmap, or you can paste this as a path, and in the paths palettes use the stroke path command to add the stroke.

    Thank you for your reply. But, ignoring Illustrator, is Photoshop able to independently creating a zig-zag vector shape.

    Thanks in advance.

    No Photohsop cannot create a zig zag (that looks like the edge of a band saw) in vector or bitmapped.

    Did a quick check on some of the custom shapes libraries and did not see one there, though you could add one if you often need a tool to make zig zag shapes in Photoshop.
