i'm trying to complete a vector i started a long time ago, but i forgot how to use photoshop 7

i'm trying to continue to add on this mask, but everytime i try to, it creates a new one
AND
i thought i was adding to it, but it doesnt fill in my pen, what do i do? (as you can see, the filled in part was what i did, and the open part is what i just did, it's not filling)

Open up the path menu/box thing. Paths act alot like layers -you can rename them etc.

Select the path you want to add onto or manipulate (in the path menu/box). Then go to your canvas, it should not create a new path this way.

As for filling the path -there are 3 options:

A: stroke the path (uses currently selected tool)

B: Fill the path. (kinda like the paint bucket)

C: make a selection using the selected path.

--- You must select the path(s) you want to use before filling. use 'CTRL mouseclick' to select multiple paths.

it's a miracle some idiot hasn't shown and said that you don't really want to use PS for vectors...

Well it depends. Personally I prefer Illustrator for all the base vectors, then export to PSD and bring into Photoshop for the final touches. But it really doesn't matter what you use, as long as you're comfortable using it.

ok, i'm trying to use cs2, but it's really annoying me

every time i click a free space, i get annoying error beeps, which happens alot because i'm fucken trying to click on the line and it's very thin
plus, when i scroll with my mouse wheel, error noises again (but diff from above)

and i'm trying to manipulate the fucken lines, but it doesnt work, i need to access the path point, and when i do that, it resets the line
i cant click on the line and manipulate from there, wtf is up with that

inkscape, adobe illustrator

photoshop is not for vectors since it can't save in a vector format, and while you can make paths and stuff and resize them to produce an infinitely large image, you can't do stuff like that with e.g gradients since they're not defined by vectors, and so on.

I use photoshop for vectoring. I have illustrator, but I hate its tools. Seriously, how the fuck do I make A LINE.

Besides, I don't plan to make any use of vector files. Then again, I vector for aerts, not animus.
