Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud (CC) is the premier photo editing and graphic design software for Windows and Mac computers. With Photoshop CC, users can create, edit, and manipulate digital images. One of the powerful features of Photoshop CC is the ability to create paths from selections and export them as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files. In this tutorial, we will look at how to create paths from selection and export them as SVG files in Photoshop CC.
Creating Paths from Selection in Photoshop CC
Creating paths from selection in Photoshop CC is an easy process. To begin, open the image you would like to create paths from in Photoshop CC. Once the image is open, select the area you would like to create a path from by using the selection tools, such as the lasso or marquee tools. Once the selection is made, you can create a path from the selection by going to the “Paths” panel and clicking the “Create Path From Selection” button.
Once the path is created, it will appear on the Paths panel. You can then use the pen tool to modify the path as needed. After you have finished creating the path from selection, you can then export the path as an SVG file. To export the path as an SVG file, go to the “File” menu and select “Export” and then “Paths to SVG”. This will open the Export Paths to SVG dialog box where you can select the options for exporting the path as an SVG file.
Exporting Paths as SVG Files in Photoshop CC
Once you have opened the Export Paths to SVG dialog box, you will need to select the path you want to export and then select the options for the SVG export. On the left side of the dialog box, you will see a list of the paths that you have created and you can select the one you want to export. On the right side of the dialog box, you will see the options for exporting the path as an SVG file.
You can select the resolution of the SVG file, the color mode, the font type, and the size. You can also select whether you want to include a background or not. Once you have selected the options for exporting the path as an SVG file, click the “Export” button to save the SVG file to your computer. You can then use the SVG file in other applications or upload it to the web.
