A stunning toolkit of Photoshop designs. All the designs are by graphicxtras.com (Andrew Buckle)
Tutorial: Subtraction of custom shapes
1) To use the subtraction / intersection etc of shapes, create the custom shape design as a shape layer (or as a path). Select the shape tool and on the top bar you will see the shape layer / path / fill option.
2) Draw a quick square (a shape layer) with the current foreground color.
3) The custom shape tool can be found 'under' the square / ellipse etc tool.
4) Now go to the top bar and select the 'subtract from shape area' (note, this does have a tendency to keep returning to create new shape layer option, so check before you draw the shape. Once the subtract has been selected, all shapes drawn are now subtracted from the existing shape layer (there are other options such as intersect and exclude)
5) Multiple shapes are drawn, removing the shape design from the square custom shape. More and more of the underlying color can be seen (red is the background, black the color of the custom shape)
6) Once the shape has been created, you can now use the shape as you would a normal custom shape. You can also define the shape as a custom shape for future use. While the shape is selected, go to the edit menu and 'define custom shape...'. The shape is then saved to the current custom shapes palette. The shape library will need to be saved to a CSH shapes library file otherwise on resetting of the shapes, the shape will be lost
7) The shape design now has a drop shadow and bevel added via the layer > layer style menu
The tutorial shows the the original custom shape can be seen just as a starting point for designs. The original shape can be added, subtracted, modified, warped and distorted, points added and removed and more. A single shape can be used as a source for millions and millions of different designs. The custom shape can also be turned into a brush or a displacement map / distortion / texture or pattern as well.
