    I dunno, I haven’t used it in years. You could create objects from layers of shapes with effects applied to them, together with masks and such, for example. TBH I almost never used the basic shapes, I’d mostly create paths with the pen.

    The thing with Photoshop is that it’s such a large software that nobody uses all of it, but every part is used by somebody.

      Thanks.

      Same with other their products. For me it’s a permanent love-hate perception of Adobe for they are making these cool tools but are very, very greedy. Yet, I still can’t really get into other tools that don’t copy them.

        Yeah I’ve got the same problems with CAD/CAM… I’ve gotten so used to SOLIDWORKS/Inventor that it’s hard to switch to open alternatives.

        Oh yah now I remember that I also used the shape tool to add or subtract from selections without having to keep the space bar pressed.
