Vector Shape Layers Cách dễ nhất để mô tả một hình dạng vector là một đường dẫn vector áp dụng như một mặt nạ để một lớp điền. Không giống như những con đường, hình dạng vector áp dụng dữ liệu điểm ảnh vào tài liệu. hình dạng Vector có thể được áp dụng cho tài liệu bằng cách trực tiếp vẽ các điểm ảnh hình lên lớp một hay lớp riêng của họ, được gọi là một hình dạng vector lớp | Part V Painting Paths Shapes and Text FIGURE Use the Save Path dialog box to name the path something meaningful. The working path with be changed to the saved path name in the Paths panel. FIGURE Select the path and flatness when creating the clipping path. 7. Click OK to make the path a clipping path. 8. Save the file as a format that supports clipping masks typically EPS or TIFF. The file is created with the clipping path data. Creating vector masks In this example we create a vector mask that will be added to a layer to mask part of the pixels using the following steps 1. Open an image in Photoshop. 2. Use the Pen tool to create a path around an object in the image as shown in Figure . In this case the path is a simple ellipse around the dog s face. 3. Select the working path in the Paths panel. 4. Select Save Path from the Paths panel menu to save the path. Photoshop doesn t allow you to make a vector mask from the path until you have saved the path as shown in Figure . 570 Chapter 17 Working with Paths and Vector Shapes FIGURE Create a path around the area of the image that you want to include in the vector mask. 5. If you are using a background layer convert the background to an unlocked layer by double-clicking it and then select it in the Layers panel as shown in Figure . 6. Select the saved path in the Paths panel so Photoshop uses the selected path to create the vector mask. 7. Open the Masks panel if it is not already open. 8. Select the Add vector mask option in the Masks panel to add the vector mask to the image as shown in Figure . The layer mask is added to the layer and a copy of the layer vector mask is added to the Paths panel. On the Web Site The image shown in Figure can be found on this book s Web site as Figure . It has a good shape to practice using vector paths to create masks. 571 Part V Painting Paths Shapes and Text FIGURE Using the selected path to create a vector mask on a layer
