You have created a path you will reuse; what should you do to access from any Photoshop file?

• A. Save Path as Layer
• B. Export Path as PNG
• C. Convert to Selection
• D. Define the path as a Custom Shape

Answer: (D)

Saving the path as a Custom Shape is the way to reuse it across any Photoshop file. When you define a path as a custom shape, Photoshop stores it in your shapes presets, so you can access it in every new document by using the Custom Shape Tool. After you have the path selected, choose Edit > Define Custom Shape, name it, and OK. In another file, pick the Custom Shape Tool, open the shapes picker, and select your new shape to place it as a scalable, editable vector shape. This keeps the asset available across sessions and documents. The other options don’t preserve the path for use in multiple files: saving as a layer stays in one document, exporting as PNG rasterizes the path, and converting to a selection removes the reusable path data altogether.
