Paths 
About the Paths palette 
The Paths palette lists the name and a thumbnail image of each saved path, the current work path, and the current 
vector mask. Turning thumbnails off can improve performance. To view a path, you must first select it in the Paths 
palette. 
To display the Paths palette, choose Window > Paths. 
To select a path, click the path name in the Paths palette. Only one path can be selected at a time. 
To deselect a path, click in the blank area of the Paths palette or press Esc. 
To change the size of path thumbnails, choose Palette Options from the Paths palette menu and select a size, or 
select None to turn off the display of thumbnails. 
To change a path’s stacking order, select the path in the Paths palette and drag the path up or down. When the 
heavy black line appears in the desired location, release the mouse button. 
Note: You cannot change the order of vector masks or working paths in the Paths palette. 
Managing paths 
When you use a pen or shape tool to create a work path, the new path appears as the work path in the Paths palette. 
The work path is temporary; you must save it to avoid losing its contents. If you deselect the work path without saving 
it and start drawing again, a new path will replace the existing one. 
When you use a pen or shape tool to create a new shape layer, the new path appears as a vector mask in the Paths 
palette. Vector masks are linked to their parent layer; you must select the parent layer in the Layers palette in order 
to list the clipping path in the Paths palette. You can remove a clipping path from a layer and convert a clipping path 
to a rasterized mask. For more information, see “To edit a vector mask” on page 435. 
Paths saved with an image appear when you open it again. In Windows, the Photoshop, JPEG, JPEG 2000, DCS, EPS, 
PDF, and TIFF formats support paths. In Mac OS, all available file formats support paths. 
Note: Paths in formats other than those listed here generally don’t survive a transition from Mac OS to Windows and 
back to Mac OS.
