I'm not sure what you mean... but the custome shap tool sucks ass in PS. You're better off pulling out the pen tool, drawing the shape and fixing the curves, and then opening the paths window and turning it into a selection. PM me if you have no idea what I just said. ;)

Oh yes it does, it's not like they have a fantastic array of shapes you can use, the best thing though is that you cna make a shap with a certain amount of points wich is cool. But they sould improve it so you can make stars etc. instead of pentagons but whateva (loll)

I you're not good enough to draw your own paths then you need the custom shape tool but to be honest there'sjust not a lot of times I find myself using the custom shapes tool, or paths in general unless I'm extracting an image.

Sixy...

In the custom shape tool click on the arrow and there are more shapes to choose from.

I realize, I'm not complete retarded!!! :P

And out of all of those shapes I just don't ever seem to use them.
What the hell would I do with an image of a tack or an envelope???
The only things I could see myself using are the TH and R symbols because I forgot the ASCII Keys to them.

I guess I just never do anything that would even require those shape tools. I am mor eof a lineart editer.
