Adding color to paths 
Filling and stroking paths with color 
A path created  with  the Pen  tool  does  not become an image  element until  you stroke or fill it.  The Fill Path command  
fills a path with pixels using a specified color, a state of the image, a pattern, or a fill layer. 
Path selected (left) and filled (right) 
The Stroke Path command paints the border of a path. The Stroke Path command allows you to create a paint stroke 
(using the current settings for your painting tools) that follows any path. This is completely different from the Stroke 
layer effect, which doesn’t mimic the effect of any of the painting tools. 
Path selected (left) and stroked (right) 
Important: When  you fill or stroke a path, the  color values appear on the  active  layer.  Make  sure  that  the layer  you want  
is active before beginning. You cannot fill or stroke a path when a layer mask or text layer is active. 
To fill a path using the current Fill Path settings
Select the path in the Paths palette.
Click the Fill Path button
 at the bottom of the Paths palette. 
To fill a path and specify options 
Select the path in the Paths palette. 
Fill the path: 
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the Fill Path button at the bottom of the Paths palette. 
Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the path to the Fill Path button. 
Choose  Fill  Path  from  the Paths  palette menu.  If  the selected path is a path  component,  this  command changes to  
Fill Subpath.
