Hey all

Amazed to see we FINALLY have coloured paths on photoshop... although, it doesn't work for me! the options seemed to be greyed out, unable to change anything!


Help much appreciated

    Correct answer Barb Binder

    Try resetting the tool

    Dom said he did that, Dave.

    And Dom, I can't seem to do anything to get the commands to gray out like yours. Unless Dave sees something we don't, the next steps I would take would be:

    a.) reset preferences

    b.) uninstall/reinstall

    Hi! I'm here with the same problem.
    I followed all the solutions you mentioned.
    It all failed in the end 😞
    I'm using Windows 10 Pro, Photoshop cc 2021.
    Is this a technical error?

    It's hard to tell what you have going on with the closely-cropped screen shot, but I think you have the Pen tool selected, and the mode is set to Path or Shape? How about resetting that tool (or all tools) by right clicking the tool icon at the far left of the Options bar?
