Modifying Shapes Using Anchor Points in Photoshop CC

[misstevious]

I have some shapes in my PSD project that were orignially ellipses, and I ended up cutting the bottoms off (image below). What I want to do is be able to access the anchor points to pull in the lower parts of the circular shapes (like with the curvature or pen tool in Illustrator). I cannot figure out how to do it. I did it on accident before I cut the shapes. Tried a workpath but it's not what I'm looking for. Can't find a way to convert the shape to a path the way I need, either. Any ideas?

Are you using the Direct Selection tool or another tool? It shares space with the Path Selection tool (black arrow), and the keyboard shortcut for both is "A".

Tried that, but nothing is happening. All I am able to do is draw a blue box that looks like it will select something.

Is your shape layer selected?

[misstevious]

It is (hypothetically). I select the proper layer, then hit the path selection tool icon and nothing. This is how my setup is currently in PS:

Did more looking and retraced my steps, turns out I fiddled with the layers in a way that they no longer were shape layers. D'oh. Ended up redrawing. Sorry and thank you, everyone!

Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad it's working again! 😊
