Custom shape tool in photoshop CS4

I want to change what looks like a stroke on a "hollow" shape. I don't want to change the overall dimensions, just the width of the outline. Does anyone know how to do this?

Rhonda,
Use the little "camera" icon on the forum editing screen to attach your JPEG image:
For changing the width of the outline, you can probably do that by chaning the Stroke of the Shape, but an image might tell us a lot more about what you wish to do.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Custom shape tool missing from Photoshop CC tool bar

    Hi
    I am a subscriber to Photoshop and Lightroom CC and have just noticed (I need to draw a circle) that there is no custom shape tool in the left hand side tool bar; I've always just assumed it was there before. I've checked around and it seems as if it should be there but mine just isn't.
    Any help gratefully received

    Hover your mouse over the line tool (just above the Hand tool) and select the Custom Shape tool from the menu which appears.

  • MY CUSTOM SHAPE TOOL HAS DISAPPEARED

    The tool CUSTOM SHAPE all of a sudden disappeared from the tool bar on the left. (where you can add text, crop, clone, etc.) I uninstalled Photoshop Elements 2.0 and reinstalled it and it's still not there. Can anybody help this grandma before I go into cardiac arrest?

    Mary,
    This might be your problem.
    Refer to this screenshot of my PSE2 desktop:
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1ubxepKqYpQJZwRWoXkClf5otuL1Ah1
    The toolbar item indicated by the red arrow activates the 7 shape tools. Whichever of these tools is active, that icon will show on the toolbar. In my example it is the Rectangle Tool. If you click on the Custom Shape Tool icon in the options bar (blue arrow), the Custom Shape Tool icon will then show on the toolbar.
    If the shape tools icon on the toolbar has totally disappeared I have no idea what happened. Try resetting your preferences file (similar to shat VkSharma said). To do this, press and hold Alt-Ctrl-Shift immediately while starting PSE. The timing is critical, you may have to try this several times. A dialog box will pop up with the question "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings file?". Click YES.

  • No custom shape tool color option

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and I'm trying to use the custom shape tool to make a black music note.  However when I make the music note, it has no color to it.  I cannot find a color option for the custom shape tool anywhere.
    Where is the option that would change the color so the note is black?
    Thanks.

    Look at the three options in the options bar!

  • Custom Shape Tool

    I've had to upgrade to Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 and can't find the Custom Shape tool .
    I'm specifically looking for the "starburst".
    Is something not loaded in this version of Photoshop?
    Sandy

    Can you clarify what you mean by Photoshop 13?   Is it CS6, or do you mean Photoshop Elements 13?
    You could try
    Reset Preferences
    Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
    Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop

  • Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

    Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
    It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

    The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
    Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

  • I cannot save custom lighting effects in Photoshop CS4

    Under Filters>Render>Lighting Effects.
    Whenever I try to save a custom lighting effect in Photoshop CS4 an error message pops up saying "An error occurred while trying to save the style."
    I am using an iMAC.
    Video display card / driver version: ATY,RadeonX1600
    Thanks for any help.

    I solved the problem by deleting my original user account, but saving all my files first.  I created a new account with adminstrative access, then opened up my old user files from the Deleted User folder and dragged them over to my new user account.  The problem with saving custom lighting effects in Photoshop is fixed.  Thanks for the tip leading me to realize it was the user profile causing the problem and not Adobe PS.

  • Is there a 3D rotate tool in Photoshop CS4 (non-extended)?

    I have just installed Photoshop CS4 of my new iMac.  Although I had been led to believe that even the non-extended version came with the 3D rotation tool, in fact, I can find no evidence of it!  Was I misled? If so, I am sad.  Please advise how I might find it, or even add it?

    Yes, you are probably right about how I was led to believe the 3D tool was on the "basic" CS4 Photoshop.  Thanks very much.

    Hi Meredith,
    Illy aka Adobe Illustrator aka AI.
    Photoshop CS4 (non Extended) has a Rotate view tool that works with support video cards to rotate the document canvas. Could that be what was mistakenly called out as 3D rotate tool. (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/?view=topnew) Depending on the configuration/age of your iMac model you may not se this.
    All the 3D features in Photoshop are for Extended only. (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/?promoid=DRHXB)

  • Custom shape tools

    Windows Vista Ultimate, PSE 6.0 I am trying to find out where to go to download additonal custom shapes and incoporate into the custom shape tool. Reference ELEMENTS TECHNIQUES magazine Vol. 5, #1,article on page28 uses the custom shape tool but the menue shown contains considerably more preset shapes than the one in my PSE 6.0. If there are more shapes than the 30 shapes shown on my menue somewhere in PSE 6 then I don't know how to access them. When I go to downloads where I would have expected to see "freebies like this" the only thing that turns up is a free trial of PSE6. If there is a source to buy from then that would be helpful. What about other plugins beyond those included in the original PSE6?
    I hope this is the right place/forum to post these types of questions

    Thank you very much Barbra, they are there just like you stated. The way my screen was tilted I could not see the arrows. I actually find the grey on black format of this program a bit hard to see, I wonder why they did not put items like these little arrows in a more contrasting color like pink or green or red. Another issue.
    thank you again and have a good day

  • Move tool crashes Photoshop CS4

    Hey =]
    I have quite a large problem with  PS CS4,
    Whenever I use the move tool, I get the message "Photoshop CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    I'm running Vista 32-Bit.
    It worked fine until about a week ago when I de-fragged my HDD, I've tried Uninstalling and then Re-Installing, no luck.
    So I tried to delete my preferences, again nothing, so then I tried resetting the tool preferences, once again, no luck =/
    I also tried Installing my old copy of CS3 and the same problem occurred.
    I have the latest version of CS4, my drivers are up to date and so is my version of Windows.
    Any Ideas? They'll be much appreciated.
    Thanks =]

    Look in the Vista event log and post the crash information please.
    Update PS CS4 to 11.0.1?
    Did you try to delete the prefs the MANUAL way? Here is how to do it in case you didn't.

  • Missing tools in photoshop CS4

    Hi there,
    I've just taken the plunge and bought Photoshop CS4.  I installed it but when I first went to use it it appears that the tool palette is incomplete.  The magic eraser isn't there.  The plain old eraser is, but there is nothing behind it.  The same thing occurs for the other layered tools in the palette.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Is it easily fixable?  Or did I get a lemon???
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you... That worked.  I thought I was going 
    crazy there for a while.

  • Question about custom color swatches in Photoshop CS4 Mac

    Hello.
    I have about fifty or so custom color swatches and wanted to back them up.  Where are they located in Photoshop CS4 for Mac?
    Thank you.

    They would be stored where you saved them to.
    If you have never had the foresight to save them (Edit > Preset Manager) they would only be in the Preferences (»Swatches.psp«), I guess.

  • Define custom shape error in Photoshop CC 14.2.1

    whene I try to define Custom Shape I got this message

    Those errors are from February 7, so not helpful.  (and they were probably due to bugs in Generator that got fixed in 14.2.1).
    Hmm, not sure why you aren't getting an error logged.
    And I can't seem to get any errors when defining a custom shape.
    What sort of shape/path do you have selected?
    What sort of document are you using?

  • PS tutorial using custom shape tool - why is shape so huge?

    I am following a PS tutorial to create a simple spot pattern. When I open the new doc and click on the custom shape to select a spot shape & place it in centre of grid, the shape is massive - way bigger than the document even. What am I doing wrong please?

  • I downloaded Photoshop but the custom shapes tool isn't there, some of the others aren't working, and I get this box saying I'm a trial user when I've paid.  Any suggestions?

    Hi, A couple of days ago I purchased and downloaded the creative cloud photoshop but now that I'm using it some of the tools aren't there.  Also, when I open it I get a message saying that I'm a trial user even though I'm not.  Is it me, or did the person downloading it not download everything?  What do I do.  I need to put some arrows in a picture to point something out but can't.  Thanks.
