Lecture 8 & Chapter 11: Drawing Shapes

               Firstly, i learned how to used different type of shape tools & three different types of shapes can be created with shape tools. Which are Rectangle tool, rounded rectangular tool, ellipse tool, polygon tool, and custom shape tool. Then option to select before using the shape are clipping mask is a shape that acts like a cookie cutter, path shape is like the paths created with the pen tool, and fill shape is created with pixels.
 



            Secondly, i learned how to work with shape & what is a path layers. Paths are lines and curves that make up the outlines of vector graphics, shape layer acts like a cut out – cutting the shape out of a layer, two thumbnails on a shape layer, the thumbnail on the left is a fill layer, which contains pixels of color, the thumbnail on the right is a vector mask, which contains a vector-based circle shape,that shape acts as a mask, and hiding all the fill layer pixels outside of the white area of the mask. You can load custom shape libraries by using the drop down menu on the options bar.
