Edit shapes

A shape is a fill layer linked to a vector mask. You can easily change the fill to a different color, a gradient, or a pattern by editing the shape’s fill
layer. You can also edit the shape’s vector mask to modify the shape outline, and apply a style to the layer.

To change the color of a shape, double-click the shape layer’s thumbnail in the Layers panel, and choose a different color using the Color
Picker.

To fill a shape with a pattern or gradient, select the shape layer in the Layers panel and choose Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay.

To change stroke width, select the shape layer in the Layers panel, and choose Layer >Layer Style > Stroke.

To modify the outline of a shape, click the shape layer’s vector mask thumbnail in the Layers panel or Paths panel. Then change the shape
using the Direct Selection and pen tools.

To move a shape without changing its size or proportions, use the Move tool.
