Saving Custom Shape Sets
Creating customized sets of shapes is an excellent way to get organized. The next time you need a specific shape all you have to do is select the shape from your organized sets. Organization can save you time, but it also lends a sense of consistency to designs. Using the same customized shapes repeatedly helps to tie the elements of a design together, and Photoshop gives you the perfect way to maintain that consistency with customized shape sets.
Save Custom Shape Sets
- Select the Custom Shape tool on the toolbox.
- Click the Shape list arrow to see a list of the current shapes.
- Create new shapes, and then add them to the current list.
- To add preexisting shapes, click the Options button, and then click Load Shapes, or choose from the available predefined shape lists.
- Click the Options button, and then click Save Shapes.
- Enter a descriptive name for the new set in the File Name (Win) or the Save As (Mac) box.
- Click the Save In (Win) list arrow or Where (Mac) popup, and then select a location to save the new set.
