Convert shapes to paint
 
 
 

In the Canvas Layer Editor window select the shape layer and choose Edit > Rasterize Layer.

After you have finalized a shape, you may want to convert it into paint. You do this by converting the shape layer into an image layer. You cannot convert an individual shape within a shape layer into paint.

Tip

To convert an individual shape within a shape layer into paint, first re-create the shape on its own shape layer. Then convert the shape layer to an image layer.

To convert a shape layer into an image layer (and delete the original shape layer)

  1. Select the shape layer, or mask shape layer, that you want to convert.
  2. In the Canvas Layer Editor window, choose Edit > Rasterize Layer.

    If the active shape layer was an image shape layer, a new image layer is created containing a painted representation of the shape.

    If the active shape layer was a mask shape layer, a new mask layer is created containing a painted representation of the shape.

    The original shape layer is deleted.
