Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 3:31 pm

If you’re a graphic designer, chances are good that you use Adobe Photoshop on a regular basis. Photoshop is a powerful program that gives you a lot of control over your images.

One of the things that you can do in Photoshop is to create custom shapes. If you want to use a custom shape that you’ve created in another program, or if you want to use a shape that someone else has created, you’ll need to know how to import it into Photoshop. Here’s how:

1. Start by opening the image that you want to import the custom shape into. You can also create a new Photoshop document if you prefer.

2. Next, open the file that contains the custom shape.

This file will likely have a .csh extension. If it doesn’t, that’s OK – you can still import it into Photoshop.

3. Once the file containing the custom shape is open, select the shape with your mouse and copy it.

4. Now go back to your image in Photoshop and select the “Paste” option from the Edit menu. This will paste the custom shape into your image.

5. You may need to resize or move the custom shape to get it positioned just the way you want it. Once you’re happy with its position, you’re done!

That’s all there is to importing a custom shape into Photoshop!

There are all sorts of reasons why you might want to import a custom shape into Photoshop – maybe you saw one online that you liked, or maybe you created one in another program that you now want to use in Photoshop. Whatever the reason, it’s easy to do! Just follow the steps outlined above and you’ll have your custom shape imported in no time at all.

PRO TIP: When importing custom shapes into Photoshop, it is important to be aware that there may be potential compatibility issues between different versions of the software. It is advisable to check for updates or compatibility packs from the manufacturer before proceeding.
