Question
Deleting path segments - instructions are wrong.
In Ps2025 on Win11 Home 24H2, the instructions found at https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/editing-paths.html?x-product=Helpx%2F1.0.0&x-product-location=Search%3AForums%3Alink%2F3.7.2-dev.2: are incorrect:
"Delete a segment
- (Optional) If you’re creating an opening in a closed path, select the Add Anchor Point tool
, and add two points where you want the cut to occur. - Select the Direct Selection tool
, and select the segment you want to delete. - Press Backspace (Windows) or Delete (Mac OS) to delete the selected segment. Pressing Backspace or Delete again erases the rest of the path. "I discovered by trial and error that the second new point is ignored and the direct selection tool will select for deletion the segment from the first new point to the next prior existing point in the direction of the second new point. If the path is filled to 3 px, the selection is not visibly highlighted.
