There are a few different ways that you can create vector objects 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 handles to adjust the curves of your lines. You can also use the Pen tool to trace around an existing image, and then turn that into a vector object.

PRO TIP: This article provides instruction on how to create a vector object in Photoshop. However, it is important to note that vector objects are not always compatible with all versions of Photoshop. Additionally, vector objects can be difficult to edit once they have been created. As such, it is important to save a copy of the original image before creating a vector object.

Another way to create vector objects in Photoshop is to use the Shape tools. With the Shape tools, you can create basic shapes like rectangles, circles, and polygons. You can also use the Shape tools to trace around an existing image, and then turn that into a vector object.

Once you have created a vector object, you can then adjust its properties using the Options bar. For example, you can change the stroke width, change the fill color, or add a gradient fill. You can also add special effects to your vector object, like drop shadows or glows.

When you are finished creating your vector object, you can then save it as a Photoshop file (.psd), or as a separate file type like .eps or .ai.
