Please note that in Elements 1 the icon that appears on the shapes options bar will change to show the icon of whatever custom shape you last used (no longer the case in Elements 2?you?ll always see the same talk balloon shape). The default icon was the heart shape, but that will be visible only until you use any other custom shape.
Select the pencil tool and open the brushes window by going to window > brushes. Set the diameter to 1px and change the spacing to 200%. Click the "create new brush" button in the lower right hand corner. Name the brush something like "Dotted" so you can remember it easily in the future.
This tutorial is going to show you a way to create halftone custom adobe Photoshop shapes. These shapes can be used in many design projects like logo design, flyer design or even as a background for another design element. They are very versatile because of their vector nature which means that they can be used at any size. Here are a few examples.
8) We need a text to complete our shape, choose Text Tool (T) and click into our shape, Photoshop automatically creates a new layer for your text. Choose Impact as font or any other well rounded type and black as fill color. Type 100%. Then Edit > Transform > Rotate and Scale your text like in image.
2) Next, go over to your main toolbar and click on the option below the Text tool, (this option will look like one of the auto shapes which you can use)
4. Click Edit=>Define Custom Shape. Call the shape Unicorn. Click ok. To save that shape permently you must go intot the preset manager, edit=> preset manager. Set the preset to custom shapes, click on your unicorn and click save set.
Now we want to Ctrl-click the monitor layer to make a selection, then select the marquee tool and right-click the selection on the canvas and choose Make Work Path. We can leave the tolerance as 2.0 PhotoShop will then create a Path for the selection we had. We can hide the monitor layer to show it:
Now that we have our shapes saved as shape sets which we can access any time we need them, there's no need to continue having all those shapes taking up memory in Photoshop if we're not using them at the moment. To clear out all the shapes you created and leave only Photoshop's default shapes, click on the small right-pointing arrow in the top right corner of the Preset Manager and choose Reset Custom Shapes from the menu:
I came up with the idea for this tutorial after looking through a scrapbooking magazine recently and coming across pages and pages of simple, ready-made shapes, all packaged together neatly into different themes, that people could buy for ridiculously high prices, and I immediately thought, "Hey! You could create these shapes in Photoshop for, like, FREE!". You don't need to be into digital scrapbooking, though, to benefit from knowing how to create your own custom shapes. For one thing, creating them is just plain fun! Creating a whole bunch of them and collecting them into different sets is even more fun! You can use custom shapes as decorations in digital scrapbooking pages, but you can also use them in professional design work. Or combine a custom shape with a vector mask to create really interesting photo borders! Before we can do any of that, though, we first need to learn how to create them!
In this Photoshop Tips and Tricks tutorial, we're going to learn how to save and reuse Photoshop text as a custom shape. Let's say you've created a simple logo by arranging some text and then applying Photoshop's Warp Text command to it, as I'll do in a moment. Since you'll be using this text as a logo, chances are you'll need to use it more than once, but you don't want to have to recreate it every time you need it. Wouldn't it be great if you could just save the logo somehow and then access it whenever you want? Fortunately, there is a way to do just that, and as we'll see, it's very easy to do.

Thanks for the shapes! I am trying out the wax seal tutorial now. So glad I stumbled across your site. Consider it bookmarked.

This Tutorial will Teach You how to create type that follows a custom path, or fills a custom shape in Photoshop. We'll start with paths, and move our way up to filling and typing along shapes.
I have a question- what if you want a certain body of text to be fit INTO a shape. As in- instead of the shape being a window that let's you 'see through' to text, what if I want all the text to fit exactly into the shape, with none being cut-off? I am trying to design a t-shirt, and want all of our names to 'fit' into the shapes of the continents. if I use this tutorial, a lot of people's names will get cut off. so, how do i make a body of text wrap around a specific shape? thanks!!!!
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create spiffy-looking complex geometric shapes using pre-defined Photoshop shapes. The final effect looks pretty cool, almost like tattoos, and they are dead easy and fun to make!

[10] Thanks for reading, I hope this photoshop tutorial has taught you few photoshop tricks and techniques and you can use them in your website design project. Your final image will look like this.
3) Choose a custom shape that you want to transform to a halftone photoshop custom shape. For this tutorial I used this flower like shape.
Often you will want to break up the hard edges of photographs of solid shapes like rectangles or photographs. By applying a mask you can do this easily.
Images are often a responsibility that is overlooked by the design team. Image quality has many meanings but here we mean that the image is crisp and that contrast, levels and colours are as good as they can be. Often the brightness or contrast means that the image is unusable. In a few cases the image cannot be improved but in most if not all there is a simple trick in Photoshop to rectify problem.
Until recently I'd been using desaturate to convert photographs to black and white in Photoshop. In fact there is a much better non-destructive method.
A well designed promotional graphic can be a great way to drive traffic through your site. Here's one way to do it.
In creating a website branding is as important as any other discipline. One of the techniques I like to use to evoke brand messages is to use captioned images. Using a photoshop and a bit of knowledge of masks and opacity you can have a powerful brand motif in no time.
Creating a grid to base your designs on is invaluable for giving structure to the page. Here's a quick introduction to grids and how you can speed up creating them in Photoshop.
One day you might just be insane enough to want to write concentric text in Photoshop. It is quite illegible and likely to give you a headache but if you still want to do it read on.
Here's an image of my new desk taken with my camera phone. You can see that the quality is not great. Really it needs to be sharper. Thankfully photoshop allows a simple way to quickly sharpen images.
Photoshop doesn't come with the same one-click ability as Illustrator to make the fill of shapes or objects transparent. Here's a workaround.
If you are using CS3 you can open JPEGs as RAW files via Adobe Bridge. Make sure you take a copy of the file you are editing first as this is a destructive method. Then right click the copy and choose Open in Camera Raw..
You can quickly make some good effects with even the simplest pattern. Already using patterns? Why not share how you use yours and leave a comment.
Then bring the opacity back to 100% by hitting 0. Then in the layers palette hold shift and select both layers. Make sure the background to both is blue showing it is selected. Then go to Edit > Auto-Blend Layers. Photoshop does some magic and you have blended your images.
We can also use layer styles to add a second stroke. Here's how to do it. Right click the layer again and choose blending options to get the layer style dialog again. This time select Outer Glow. By default the Blend Mode of Outer Glow is Screen. You need to change this to Normal. Move the Opacity up to 100%. Under Elements change the technique to Precise. Move the Spread to 100% and the Size to 20px. Remember that Photoshop draws this from the edge of the shape so if we want our second stroke to also be 10px we need to allow for the 10px of the first stroke.
Here a simple tip that will save time if you need to sample colours from outside Photoshop for use in your artwork.

Let's start designing the logo. It's very simple. Step 1: Open a new file by clicking on File>Open. Step 2: Create a new layer. Name it logo.
Designing a graphic interface for your website usually involves creating a lot of unusual shapes -- something Photoshop does not come ready-made to do per se. Vector graphics programs (ie: Illustrator) are far more versatile for shape creation, but there are many ways of using the built in features of Photoshop to get what you want.
This little trick is a neat way of creating detailed custom shapes. We're going to start with a image like this:
A) In the Layers window, hold down Ctrl, and click on the layer you want the shadow applied to. In this case, it's the text object phong. This will load the layer transparency.
1 Create a new image, and on a new layer, fill in the shapes you want rounded, or use the Type tool to draw a letter. Select the layer transparency of the layer you want rounded, by holding down Ctrl and clicking on the layer.
Here I wanted to display some techniques that you can use on a custom shape and turn it into an art form.
Next, make a fractal design with the Pen Tool, similar to the one shown. You can really be creative with the type of shape you make. Now make your foreground color white (#FFFFFF) by pressing �X�. Then, click the �Paths� tab.

Custom Shapes And Layer Styles If you are a regular user of custom shapes in Photoshop, here are a few tips on using them when combined with layer styles. The benefits of using custom shapes for smaller work are the ability to scale losslessly and to experiment with color and effects by way of saved layer styles. Getting Artwork From Illustrator Into Photoshop To paste a path from Illustrator make sure the AICB option (Preserve Paths) is switched on in Illustrator (File Handling and Clipboard Preferences). This will allow you the option of pasting the path as a shape layer. Saving New Shapes With the Path selected, go to Edit> Define custom shape. It is then added to your library. Getting New Shapes Use the great Adobe Exchange Studio to find great new shapes. Working With Layer Styles When adding some depth to a custom shape, consider experimenting with building up layer styles one by one. Often taking an existing layer style from the Styles palette and adapting certain settings, you can get a feel of how the layer styles interact with each other. Using The Pathfinder To work with the Pathfinder tool in custom shapes, make sure the tool selected is the custom shape tool. You will not be able to paste the path otherwise. Once pasted it works in the same fashion as it does in Illustrator with the ability to save the combined/subtracted etc. shape as a new custom shape. You can use the direct selection tool to move a point or the whole path if you need to fine tune any effect. Blending Effects Using a layer mask with a custom shape is a powerful way of isolating an effect or area. However the layer style automatically will follow the new outlines of the custom shape if a mask is applied. In the Blending palette, clicking the option 'Layer Mask hides effects" ensures you can do masking without influencing the layer effect. Applying Effects To Multiple Layers. Simply click on the word effects in the layer palette and drag it on top of any layer you wish to apply the current style to. If you have multiple effects applied to a shape but want to apply just a single style such as "Inner Glow" to another shape, simple click on that effect in the layer palette and drag in the same fashion. For multiple layers, it is best to link the layers, control click to "copy layer style" and then choose "paste layer style to linked." Styles Palette & Variations...
