I had a simple idea in mind and thought I would give it a shot but I seem to be having issues at the first hurdle. Im not an expert in photoshop but I was testing out the 'Content Aware Tracing Tool' thing and was hoping to select the simple outlines (I will use Bender as an example)

As you can see below, after I used the Pen tool I then went on the Paths layer to hopefully select the outline and add a stroke on it. However - the stroke option will not show up. I have got it to work once but I'm not sure how?

Does anyone have any ideas and suggestions or am I just missing something simplistic?

Many Thanks ♥

I think you are describing Adobe Drawing Pen Tool. I did not find it very useful and removed it from my tool bar. Contact aware drawing pen tools It may be my machine is slow so it does not perform the way it is designed to. It seem to be better now in 23 adding a temp level adjustment to increase the edge contrast help the tool, You should be able to outline what you want perhaps with some gaps you can connect by holding the shift key down.

Hi, once you have drawn the outline, click on the shape button in the option bar (seen on your first image), then give it a no fill and the wanted stroke, if you want to keep said stroke as a vector.
