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?

  • When I click on Define Custom Shape, I get an error message: "could not complete your request because of a program error."

    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014. When I click on Define Custom Shape, there is an error box that says "could not complete your request because of a program error."  How can I solve this problem or work around it? I've looked on the internet for answers but could find no solutions to this. The custom shape tool is 99% of what I use!

    Consider resetting the Pen tool by right clicking here
    and if that doesn't solve the problem a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
    To reset Preferences:
    If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
    A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.
    By the way, if "The custom shape tool is 99% of what I use!" have you considered Illustrator?

  • Could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error

    I am using the pen tool to draw a shape and then select it to create a custom shape. I use path: edit - define custom shape = "could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error"
    The error message appears once I click the define button.

    Also, I solved this another way, seems to happen to me often. I click on the path panel, near layers panel and clicked on 'load path as a selection' (3rd icon on bottom from left), then click 'make work path from selection' (4th icon on bottom from left). Then you will see that the whole work area is part of the selection, including your desired shape/path. In order to change this, just select 'path selection' tool and highlight each corner and delete each point from each corner, then you are left with the desired selection to create a shape. I am self taught and this seem unorthodox, but it works.

  • Define Custom Shape doesn't work in Photoshop CS5

    It seems to be impossible to Define Custom Shape in Photoshop CS5. This option in Edit menu always remains grayed out...
    Can anyone check and see if this is the case in your own installation of the program?
    Very same procedure works in Photoshop CS4 just fine, but not in CS5...

    Hi Fox,
    I think you might just have found a bug there. I've reported it upstairs.

  • Define Custom Shape Option is Greyed out

    I'd appreciate any help that could be provided, I have not been able to define custom shapes in CS6. I'm using the pen tool in shape mode, I've used the path selection tool and switched between the path operations. I've made sure that the shape is selected in the paths work bar. Nothing seems to open up the define custom shape option. Is there a setting I'm neglecting to check? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    I just tried deleting first just the tool preferences, and then all the photoshop preferences. There has been no change...Still unable to get define custom shape as an option.
    I've also tried using the path option instead of the shape selection and that also makes no difference.
    Just as a note I have used the same steps on another computer running CS6 and it functions 100% properly.

  • 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

  • Why do I get an error when creating a custom shape

    I have a student version of Photoshop CC  and it seemed to be working just fine until I had to create a custom shape. When I try and create a custom shape I receive the following error.
    Did something go wrong during installation or am I missing an addon??

    Before you draw the shape with the Pen Tool set to Paths, ensure that you have the Path Operations set to either Combine or Exclude
    Looks like yours is set to Subtract, which will produce a program error when trying to define a custom shape.

  • 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
    Nick Garnett

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

  • Import multiple photoshop custome shape at once

    Hi,
    I have about 100 CHS files. how can I load them all in photoshop at once instead of clicking individual files which is time wasting?

    The CSH file simply stores a Custom Shape for Photoshop to re-use.
    By its nature you can only have one active at any one time but you can view them all together in the drop-down from the Options Bar or in the Preset Manager.

  • Can anyone tell me how to load an image to custom shape in Photoshop? I can't save it as csh...

    I've made an image, as the watermark of our photos, but I can't load it to Custom Shape in PS CS4 as I can't save it as csh. Do you know how to upload an image type file that is not csh? Or how to convert the image to csh? Thanks.

    As Chris says, you can't make it into a custom shape unless you create it as a path. But you can save it as a Custom Brush (in monochrome).

  • Where can I download free custom shapes por photoshop?

  • Installing custom shapes in PSE 7

    I have some .csh files I used when I had PSE 4 and have just upgraded. I've been able to successfully edit the meta data files and install layer styles but can't figure out how to access the custom shapes files. I had expected to click on the double arrow from the custom shape dropdown to get to a "Load shapes" menu but I don't see one. I have Windows XP.

    Well, I figured it out by trial and error I guess. Here is the path where you put the custom shapes (Windows and PSE 7.0).
    C:\Documents and Settings\Lisa\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Presets\Custom Shapes
    The difference is that we put the layer styles in the path C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Photo Creations\shapes.
    Note the difference between "Lisa" and "All Users".
    After doing this and deleting the ThumbDatabase.db3 and MediaDatabase.db3 files, PSE rebuilt them and my custom shapes now showed up. WHEW!!!! What a pain. I guess the confusing part was the difference in that some things are for A user and not All Users.

  • Define custom JNDI entry

    Hi,
    I would like to define an ear/war that is independant of the deployement plateform.
    That's possible when I use only DataBase or JMS external connectors. In these cases I do it by defining JMS Queue or Data source in my config.xml file and referencing them in the deployement descriptors of my applications.
    But I don't find how I can define a custom property in the config.xml, for example I need to have a remote IP adresse for calling a specific service.
    I find how to add JNDI entry in the deployement descriptor of my applications, but that requires to modify my war/ear before deploying them on the servers.
    On Tomcat for example, that can be done using this configuration:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <Context displayName="MyApp" docBase="wsp" path="/wsp" workDir="work/Catalina/localhost/wsp">
    <Environment description="My custom entry" name="url.SpecificService" type="java.lang.String" value="http://192.168.0.1/"/>
    Does anybody know how to add custom entry to the JNDI tree in the config.xml file or any other resources that is not buddle with the EAR/WAR ?

    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).
