Stroking A Path with A Custom Brush

 

Lately I have had a few people asking me if it is possible to create dotted lines in the shape of an oval. I thought, “why not go the extra mile”, and show you how to apply a custom brush to any shape! Why not add a few stars for Christmas.

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
