I’m using CS2, love it and this tutorial. Right now I’m trying to figure out how to make each brush stroke on my document create a new layer. I’m using the brush and would like each line I draw to be it’s own layer. I thought my install use to do this but now each stroke is rastered onto the background. Is there some way to have this done without having to create a new layer before each stroke?

If you click away for the path in the paths panel, it should hide the outline

Just recently I attempted and succeeded to create a selection with the pen tool and saved it to paths. However I now have an annoying constant selection outline present that is evenly on both sides of the actual pen line when zoomed in. Feathering was set to 0.5 pixels and I set to path not shape.

The artist did use the stroke path function to create an array of lines similar to a vanishing point. The thing I noticed was that he only ended up with the Stroke Path box once and the rest of the time it seemed to duplicate the preferences he used in that box repeatedly without having to go through the menu over and over again. Is there a way to do this via hotkey or something that I seem to be missing? Not sure what version they are using or if there are any possible plugins that may be providing them with that specific outcome but this seems quite useful for some things.

Is this a passive aggressive way of asking a question? (Seriously, don’t complain, just ask and more people will help ypou) What version are you on and where is the menu item that’s grayed out?
