1. Re: can I use photoshop path effects like illustrator?
Mylenium Feb 22, 2011 8:34 AM (in response to TF22Raptor2)Not really. That is why they are different programs, after all. if it's jsut a simple solid stroke, you could however create a shape layer and use the stroke layer stile combined with the layer blending options - hide the layer, render only the stroke.

Hi all, just wondering is there anyway I can apply a stroke to a path and then later alter the paths bezer curves and have the path retain its stroke or effect (say 1 pixel), if I wasnt happy with how it originally sat instead of redrawing the path again each time?
Can I do this inside of photoshop without having to go into illustrator?
* Apply stroke to path: Yes ! At bottom of paths panel click on Stroke Path with Brush icon (pre set your brush)
* Alter the path with Bezier control handles: Yes! Use the path & direction tools (white arrow tool to adjust control points)
* Apply effects: Yes
* Do in Photoshop instead of Illustrator: Yes ! Dealing with the paths and getting the results on layers takes a little bit of doing, but quite workable. MUCH better done in Illustrator, however.
