Hi, I would really like to know how to make my own vector shapes (custom shapes in PSE).
I am filled with ideas, and this would help me so much, and of course I will share! ;) java script:add_smilie(%22;)%22)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Zephyra,
Keri Schueller (Paper Maven) just wrote a great tutorial on this exact topic. Check it out in our recent newsletter issue: [url="http://scrapgirls.com/Chit_Chat_042806.htm"]http://scrapgirls.com/Chit_Chat_042806.htm[/url] (it's at the bottom). Make sure you sign up for the newsletter at: [url="http://www.scrapgirls.com/Newsletter3.html"]http://www.scrapgirls.com/Newsletter3.html[/url] There are featured freebies in each issue. :)

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, I think the tutorial is misnamed. I don't believe it works for PhotoShop Elements. At least it doesn't for my PSE 3 (Windows).

This tutorial doesn't work for PSE because we don't have a "define custom shape" option. (pse4)

Does anyone know if there is another way to do it?

I have a question about this technique. Do the custom shapes you make with that tutorial resize without image distortion? I know if I make a shape in Illustrator it can be adjusted to any size or shape without messing up. Does this also?

Thanks!

I believe that tutorial was misnamed and I apologize for that. I don't use PSE but I believe there is not an option to create custom shapes.

To answer your question Ashley, custom shapes in Photoshop are vector objects so you should be able to scale them without sacraficing any quality.

HTH! :)
