Saving a Work Path in Photoshop

To save a work path, double-click the path in the Paths palette. Or choose Save Path from the Paths palette pop-up menu (click the triangle in the upper right to open the menu). Then provide a name in the Save Path dialog box and click OK.

After you save your path, you can reload it at any time. Unlike layers, paths take up very little storage space, so don’t hesitate to save them. Plus, you don’t want to go through all that work again if you don’t have to. Unlike work paths, you can have as many saved paths as your heart desires.
