7. Open the Path Operations menu and choose the
Combine Shapes option.
These options define how a new path will interact with any
existing paths.
• New Layer, available when Layer is selected in the Tool Mode menu, creates a
new shape layer every time you draw a new path.
• Combine Shapes adds new paths to an already selected path or shape layer. Each
path’s shape is maintained as a separate vector path.
• Subtract Front Shape removes the area of secondary shapes from existing shapes.
Note:
• Intersect Shape Areas results in a shape that is only the area where a new shape
overlaps an existing shape. If the Subtract Front
Shape option is selected,
• Exclude Overlapping Shapes is similar to Subtract; overlapping areas are
removed from the existing shape, but non-overlapping areas of the new shape are the vector mask you
filled with the shape color. create later will
essentially be reversed,
• The Merge Shape Components option, available when a single path contains
more than one shape, results in a single (possibly compound) shape. Any hiding the areas within
overlapping paths are combined into one shape/path. the shape you draw.

bottle. Click to add an anchor point and drag down and to the right before
releasing the mouse button.
When you click and drag with the Pen tool, you are defining the handles for the anchor
point. Without getting too heavily into detailed explanations of geometry, you should
simply understand that the anchor points determine the ends of line segments, and the
handles determine the curve shape of the segments that are connected to that point.
