Vector Canvas |
|||||
In Photoshop Elements 13+, the Pen tool creates a vector path that afterwards can be converted to a shape layer. "Vector Canvas" script lets you start drawing on a shape layer immediately. 1. Open "Script Events Manager" dialog and make sure that "Enable Events To Run Scripts" option is enabled (fig. 1). 2. Choose "Tools" category (fig. 2/1) and select "Pen Tool" event (fig. 2/2). 3. In the scripts dropdown menu, choose "Vector Canvas" item (fig. 3). 4. Click "Add" button (fig. 4/1) and make sure the new "Event: Script" line is available in the upper list (fig. 4/2). From now on, every activation of the Pen tool launches the "Vector Canvas" script. In case the current layer already has a vector mask, the script activates it, so, you may proceed to editing it. If no vector mask is available, the script creates a new (empty) vector layer, so, you can draw a new shape from scratch. NB The Pen and other advanced vector tools are discussed here. |
