Convert selections into shapes

You can convert selections into shapes and continue working on them as you would with regular shapes — edit vector paths, combine them with other shapes, or save them to the Shapes palette.

  1. Make a selection using any of the selection tools.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Choose Format > Convert into Shape from the Format menu at the top of your screen.
    • Control ⌃ – click inside the selection and choose Convert into Shape.
