Convert Text to Shape Photoshop


Why would you want to do this?

Answer: To create a Vector Graphics file of any size. When you increase the size of the image, there is no loss of clarity as the shape is made by a calculation

When is this useful?

1. Create some text in a Layer
2. Press and hold CTRL Key then click on the Layer containing the Text
3. Now click the Path Tab (Bottom Right)

5. This can now be converted into a shape using Edit --> Create Custom Shape
6. Now if you hide the TEXT layer
7. Select the Custom Shape Tool
