Last updated on February 12, 2023 @ 8:43 pm

There is one straightforward way that you can turn a path into a shape in Photoshop. That is to create a New Fill Layer.

To do this, simply go to the Layers window and create a new fill layer by selecting the icon at the bottom of the window.

NOTE: This will create a new layer that contains your path as a shape.

In the menu that will appear, select the “Solid Color” option.

NOTE: This will let you add a solid color to your new fill layer which turns your path into a colored shape.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, we recommend that you seek the assistance of a professional while going through the procedures. The article provides instructions on how to turn a path into a shape in Photoshop but does not provide any warnings or tips on how to avoid mistakes.

Next is to pick a color in the Color Picker window. Once done, click on the “Ok” button.

And that’s it! You can experiment with this tool to see what works best for your needs.
