  Converting a path to a shape layer .. and retaining the brush stroke.

  Hello,

  Hope someone can help.

  I have been trying to convert a path to a shape layer but every time I do it, I loose the brush stroke I applied on the path.

  I am using the pen tool on a new layer. (on the pen menu, i choose path)
  I draw out the path that I want and close it
  I then activate the brush tool and set the brush stroke that I want.
  I choose the pen tool again, right click on the path and choose stroke path, brush.
  My brush stroke appears.
  From the pen menu, I then choose shape – to turn the path into a shape layer.
  The shape layer appears but I have lost the brush stroke that was applied to the path. I just have a regular solid black stroke..

  Thanks
