Introducing the Star Tool

Report · Jul 31, 2025

The Star tool is available in Photoshop Beta

Photoshop now has a bespoke Star tool that includes a Contextual Task Bar and updated on-canvas controls similar to what Illustrator is currently shipping. Additionally, if you copy a star shape from Illustrator and "Paste as Layers" shared properties will copy as live and editable shapes in Photoshop.
