    Newbie looking for some direction

    I appears that the leaf is isolated on it's own layer, all you need is Edit-Stroke.

    importing files

    Short answer is no, it will no longer be a vector file when you bring it into Photoshop. Photoshop is a raster program. The only way is to import as paths, alter them, fill, etc., then save as a SVG or PDF.

    importing files

    Thanks for pointing that out I forgot about SVG, being an old Photoshop CS6 user it's not an option for me. Thus when I need vector I use Illustrator.

    importing files

    The first thing you need to understand is that Photoshop is a raster based program and regardless of what you put into it, it will display it as raster. Secondly while there are vector tools in Photoshop (shapes, paths, vector masks), the only way you can save as a vector is in a PDF file...

    Changing multiple duplicated layers at once

    The user would be better off using Illustrator for this type of work. In Illustrator you would create a symbol for the smoke detectors. If required you can change all instances of the symbol by simply editing the main symbol.

    Changing multiple duplicated layers at once

    I gave this some thought and the best solution I can think of is make a circle and fill with white, then stroke it with red. Add the text in red, rasterize and combine the two layers. Transform the resulting image into the correct size to cover the existing SD circles. Select the new "HD...

    I am a traditional artist transitioning to digital art.

    When I taught Photoshop one of the biggest questions I got was, when should I use a new layer? My answer was and still is, almost always. You can merge layers later if you wish, but once done they can seldom be easily separated. If you don't already, it's a good idea to learn about the use of...

    Specific Cutting a background out

    Make a selection of the man with the Quick Selection tool. Don't worry about getting all of the shoes. Use the selection to make a mask and manually paint with white to get the parts of the shoes that you may have missed. Paint with black to cover any parts you don't want. (black conceals, white...

    Please need help with luminosity masks

    Luminosity masks are used for masking tonal values. This will explain it: https://digital-photography-school.com/luminosity-masks/

    Please need help with luminosity masks

    For masks, white reveals, black conceals. Grey will yield semi-transparency. If you want the sky to show, paint the mask with white.

    You have to add your own highlights and reflections. Photoshop is the perfect tool.

    How to convert any dress to leather/latex looking dress?

    Materials are defined by the manner in which they react to light. Leather/latex would be somewhat reflective, versus a fabric which would absorb light.

    Specific Grid Template

    I don't know how experienced you are with Photoshop, but... I'd add a photo, and convert it to a smart object, then add a vector mask to create a section. Un-link the vector mask so the image can be moved independently with the move tool. Do the same thing for each section on it's own layer...

    Filling Text with image

    It sounds like the mask is your problem. You need to clip the image layer to the text layer.

    Beginner Help Please?

    There are various ways to add a mask but the simplest is with the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel. Paint with a black brush to conceal and white to reveal. A vector mask uses a path to mask. Create from Layer-Vector Mask and choose Reveal All. Hide All or Current Path. With a...

    Beginner Help Please?

    Without seeing the image it's difficult to comment accurately. However, the first thought that comes to mind is rather than cutting, you should be using a layer mask or a vector mask on the background copy to remove the parts. Place the replacement parts on separate layers above the background...

    Need Data Set Variable Help

    The first thing I see is that your text file needs to be comma separated. My advice is to start simple. Make a folder with 2 images and 2 names just to get things working properly. Like this:
