Question

Creating Paths

Hi all,

I am trying to follow a video on YouTube called ''How to Create Phone Case Mockups in Photoshop'' Here's the link > https://youtu.be/FCQ9sUKxzxA

I am struggling right at the beginning where you have to create the paths around the phone, the camera, and the flash etc. Now, the trouble comes when I go to select them all, as per the video, by holding "Ctrl" and hitting "Enter", but when I do it, only the outer path one selects and I loose the inner ones around the camera and flash.

I have spent the past 2hrs trying to figure out why this is, but to no avail. Is there anybody who could help?

Thank you!

Hi

Ctrl+Enter is the Windows shortcut to convert a Path into a Selection. Did you draw all of the subpaths onto one path or multiple paths? Please show your paths panel so we can see what you are working with and better advise.

Hi Jane,

Thank you for your Message. All of the paths are drawn onto one path as shown in the image and as per the video instructed. You can also see the areas in the image I have pathed. When using Ctrl+Enter all that happens is either all the blue lines disappear, or I get a message box saying that there are no pixals selected.

I have also screen shot the video so you can what should happen.

Paul
