Overview

The "Shape Tool " lets you draw lines, curves, or solid shapes, and it is accessible through the ++d++ (like Draw) key, as well as to the left of the Viewer.

The Shape Tool offers 5 modes

• Fill: the created curve is filled with a constant color.
• Stroke: the curve is rendered as a stroke only.
• Fill and stroke: a combination of the two preceding modes:
  • Two layers are created and the Path group is shared between them.
  • This mode is only accessible from the Option Bar at the top
• Fill and feather: shape with a shaded ramp defined by an external outline
• Follow path: the curve is used to transform to layer. A detailed description and workflow can be found in the Drive Layers By Curve section.
