path keeps on turning off. please help asap

Question

ok so this is really annoying and slowing down my work. This is the first time I'm using Photoshop CC. I've used cs6 before and never had this problem. can someone please tell me how to fix this issue. I have a path which I created in illustrator and brought into Photoshop. I now want to fill individual paths in different colours. Every time I click on the path and click "make selection" my paths become invisible and I have to re-select it from the path panel.

sorry to bother you again.. I've added the stroke to the path, but now I can't select the individual areas of the path, which puts me back to square one. I still have to re-select the path to add a fill to an individual area.

A couple things:

1. You might have to press Ctrl+H to unhide the paths. They may be hidden. If you're on mac, it's CMD+H. You can also enable paths in the view dropdown and select Show Extras.

2. Make sure you have your path selected in the paths tab. If you don't have this, you can select it from the Window drop down. Use the path or direct selection tool to select the shapes.

3. Instead of selecting the path and doing "make selection", simply select the path you'd like to fill, and the color you'd like to fill the path with and click the fill path with color button in the paths window. It's a solid white circle on the bottom of the panel. Secondly, there is no reason to stroke each path. There is no reason the paths should be deselecting using the method I've just explained.

Let me know if this works for you.

Really not the most efficient program to do this in. I'd suggest using Illustrator if you want a faster workflow for this type of art.
