Tutorials Tutorial 1 ]Using the custom shape as a selection
1) Basic fill using the current connection custom shape. 2) While the custom shape tool is the current tool, the toolbar palette displays a number of options related to the custom shapes tool. The first option is use the shape as a layer, the second as a path, the third as a fill. Select the second button, the path option. 3) Apply the 'path' custom shape to the image, the image remains unchanged but you will see the outline of the shape (path) displayed. 4) Go to the paths palette and select the right drop down menu and 'make selection' command. The path will be turned into a selection based on the feather etc setting 5) Copy the selection (which covers part of the image) and then clear the image or open a new document. Paste the selection (part of the image) repeatedly, re-scaling as required, rotating as required. Use this to build up a complex design based on the original image.
The selection (path) can be modified by the various commands in the selection such as border, expand, smooth, feather. The selection can also be transformed: scaled and rotated. The selection can also be combined with other selections using the 'add to selection' 'exclude' etc. The selection can also be moved using the marquee selection tool. The selection can have a stroke applied via the edit menu; the interior or exterior can also be filled via the same menu. Effects can be applied to the selection or inverse. |
