Opening dot custom shapes

The dot custom shapes are all stored in standard Photoshop CSH format files. The file set contains many custom shapes in a single CSH file. The dot shapes are loaded via the custom shapes palette load / replace command. Use the dot shapes with the custom shapes tool in Photoshop - you can find it on the toolbox of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.

 

You can apply the dot shape once or multiple times, to a new document or to an existing design. The dot shapes can be applied as shape layers as well as paths and selections and basic fillls.

 

polka dot shapes

example polka dot shapes from pack 117 applied on top of an image of Maidstone - opacity has been set to 50% for the fill pixels of the shape and the shape color has been set to yellow. At this point you could enter various points such as 'this is Maidstone' 'County Town of Kent' 'Pretty decent town' and so on. Up to you.

 

polka dot colors

example from the pack 117 custom shapes polka dot set - the custom shapes are not colored, they are purely one color by default but a combination of the magic wand selection tool and you can fill all the polka dots in seconds with a fresh set of random colors. Combine it with kuler and you can even get a nice harmony color set as well in Photoshop
