How to add a 'stoke path' using 'pen tool' on CS6 (mac)?

I'm a beginner at photoshop and I'm only 14 years old. I need to know this for my GCSE project.
I'm trying to create something similar to this:
Using pen tool and stroke path, but when i use the pen tool I'm not sure how to add the stroke path like that.
I've used CS4 previously at school and when you right clicked on the path it came up with this:
I haven't a clue how to get that up on CS6 (on mac) and when you right click it, it just seems to continue adding the path. Any help?

In addition to conroys advice here is a video tutorial that might help you as well:
enjoy,

  • Quick tip help. How to add to vector layers using shape tool

    This is something that's bugged me for a few versions and I'm sure someone has a tip for this.
    When I use Shape Layer tool, I get a solid color with a vector mask. The tool always makes a new layer every time I use the tool. So to get around that, I draw my shapes (one per layer) and then use the Path Selection Tool and cut and paste between Shape Layer layers.
    How can I draw another shape on a currently selected Vector Mask? (I want to build compound Pathfinder-like shapes)

    Yes, press the shift key to add to the current shape layer (vector mask).

  • Multiple open paths using pen tool

    I use the pen tool to ink my artwork in Photoshop. When I upgraded to CC, I found that I can't use ESC to create a new path. It just continues with the original path. I either have to add the stroke then, delete that path, and then start a new one or select the direct path tool, click somewhere on the screen and then go back to the pen tool. This is slowing down my workflow. Is there any way to shut off this auto-anchor?

    A work around for the current behavior would be to press command/control key (to access path select tool) and click instead of hitting escape to deselect the last point on the current sub path and start a new one.

  • How to reset the BRUSH of the Smudge Tool for CS6 Mac? Accidentally changed the brush, it now leaves choppy marks when all other settings were the same. Please help!!!

    I'm not sure what is going on, but the brush for the Smudge Tool is apparently gone and it leaves these choppy marks instead of its smooth blending, no matter WHAT I do to the brush. It also has this really annoying habit now of starting off with a dark spot that does get blended out, but it never did that before and the setting is on normal.
    Help in resetting the brush? What do I do to fix that?
    Thanks!!!

    In the top tool bar far left side is an icon that looks like the tool being used. Right click on it to choose to reset the menu. An alternative is click on that same icon then in that dialog box is a cog wheel icon, click it will bring up a larger menu, you can choose reset tool there as well.

  • How to add rows in tableview using javascipt

    Hi
    I had tableview and button in my page.If i click on the button one new row should be appended to the existing tableview.
    so , how to add rows in tableview using javascipt which are editable?
    Regards,
    Pydi.

    Hi,
      Javascript is client scripting language, which is mainly used for validations at the client side.
      To add new row using a HTMLB tag ucannot use javascript. Instead pass "visibleRowCount" variable to a abap variable and add the variable on every button click.. that wil increase the visible row count.
    Also the size of the table view is the size of the itnernal table, so append a blank like to the internal table or insert it at the top.
    If you are not using HTMLB tags and using simple HTML tags u can always add a row using java script.
    Regards

  • How do you change the color of the path the pen tool makes?

    There must be some way to change the color of the path the pen tool makes from that grey color to something that will contrast with the image underneath. I found one thread about this from 2010 or so and the answer led to a dead link. This seems like it would be a very helpful feature that would be easy to implement. Someone please tell me in 2014, after a zillion version of photoshop have come out in the past 30 or so years, how do we do this? Thank in advance.

    Why? When you zoom in too close sometimes it become too pixelated to see what's going on and the point on the pen become to close to each other. Why can't you change the path to a color so that it doesn't blend into the image you're trying to trace? Why is the unchangeable color one of the most likely colors to become invisible on most images? So frustrating!

  • I have noticed while using pen tool that I have to wait before the small square appears.

    I have noticed while using pen tool that I have to wait before the small square appears. Tenth of a second, but this is disturbing on a daily basis. Is there any solution?

    It seems that in your version of InDesign, the image preview is grayed out while you are editing the picture frame with the pen tool. Not the case with my version of CS5 for macintosh.
    But I think this is a bad way to work. If you want the path only to affect text wrap, then edit the text wrap path. This is more versatile than editing the frame because you can have text appear over part of the image visible below text. This of a bird in flight in a light sky. The text wrap can surround the bird so text can appear in the sky. Your method does not permit this.
    If you are editing the frame’s path because you also want to crop the image, then you’d be better off doing that in Photoshop by adding either a clipping path in the Paths panel or a mask in the Layers panel. If it’s an Illustrator file then add a clipping mask.
    I find InDesign’s pen tool and general path editing to be significantly inferior to Illustrator’s. If I need to have an editable path in InDesign that I would draw much more easily in Illustrator, then I do that and copy the path back. It comes in as a simple unassigned frame, which I can then convert to a picture frame or a text frame and copy/paste the contents into the new frame. That may suit you if the above suggestions are inappropriate.

    Steve,
    I am trying to draw a nice curvy BOW using the pen tool.How can i draw a nice curvy stroke using pen tool with thickness control.
    Can any one help me ?
    You may draw the spine of the bow with the Pen Tool and apply a custom made Artbrush to it; the Artbrush should be a fill no stroke shape reflecting the relative thickness along the relative length (the thickness (height) of the brushed path will be the thickness of the brushed stroke at 1pt Stroke Weight, and the length of the shape is arbitrary, so it can be set to 8, 10, 100, or whatever, because the brush strtches to the length of the path).
    And you may draw half the bow, reflect (Object>Transform>Reflect) and distribute (Align>Distribute), and join the halves.

  • Fill after use pen tool

    it is possible after using pen tool in path mode ifill the objetc i made with color ? I need the steps/ Thanks

    Use the path selection tool to select the path.  Then copy it: ctrl/cmd-C.  Use the pen or shape tool to create a SHAPE layer.  just make a small box or something to create the layer.  Then press ctrl/cmd-V to paste your path into that shape layer.  Select the small shape you made to create the layer and delete. it.
