There are a few different ways that you can create a custom path in Photoshop. One way is to use the Pen tool. With the Pen tool, you can click and drag to create anchor points, and then use the Direct Selection tool to fine-tune the shape of your path. Another way to create a custom path is to use the Shape tools.
With the Shape tools, you can click and drag to create shapes, and then use the Pathfinder panel to combine those shapes into a single custom path. You can also use the Brush tool to paint a custom path. Just be sure to select the “Stroke Path” option in the Brushes panel.
Creating a custom path can be useful when you want to create a mask or selection outline that follows a specific shape. It can also be helpful for creating text effects or for tracing an image. Whatever your reason for creating a custom path, the process is relatively simple and just takes a little practice.
