Making a Selection into a Path in Photoshop

Although you probably won’t use this option nearly as often as you use the option to turn a path into a selection, the option is, indeed, available: You can create paths from existing selections. Creating a path from a selection can come in handy if you need to save a path as a clipping path.

1. If you’ve been reading from the beginning of this section, you probably have a selection on-screen ready and raring to go. If you are just jumping in, go ahead and select the desired element in your image.

2. With the selection marquee active, select Make Work Path from the Paths palette pop-up menu.

3. In the dialog box that appears, enter a Tolerance value.

You can also create a path from a selection by pressing Alt (Option on the Mac) and clicking the Make Work Path from Selection icon in the Paths palette. If you just click the icon, you also make a path, but you bypass the dialog box.

The Tolerance number controls how sensitive Photoshop is to the nooks and crannies in the selection marquee when it creates the path:

-->The lower the value, the more sensitive it is, and the better it approximates your selection.
-->Too low a value, such as 0.5, may create too many anchor points.
-->Too high a value, such as 10, rounds out your path too much. Start with the default setting of 2.0.

4. If the path is still showing after you load your selection marquee, simply click in the gray area below the path names in the Paths palette.
This action deselects the path and leaves you with just the selection marquee.

5. Select the work path in the Paths palette and choose Save Path from the Paths palette pop-up menu. Name the path and click OK.
