Convert a path to a marquee selection

You can convert a vector shape to a bitmap selection, and then use the bitmap tools to edit the new bitmap.

  1. Select a path.

  2. Select Modify > Convert Path To Marquee.

  3. In the Convert Path To Marquee dialog box, select an Edge setting for the marquee.

  4. If you chose Feather in the Edge setting, specify the value you want to use for the amount of feather.

  5. Click OK.

    Note: Converting a path to a marquee deletes the selected path. To change this default, select Edit > Preferences > Edit, and then deselect the Delete Paths When Converting To Marquee setting.
