There are so many threads about this issue, I really do not understand why it is not deemed useful to add legacy shapes/gradients/etc. in the option bar local menu, when it was done for the brushes...

However, I am unable to do that in Photoshop 2020 as there is no "shapes" category in the preset manager in Photoshop 2020! The only categories that are available in preset manager in Photoshop 2020 are "contours" and "tools". There is NO other categories in the drop down box.

Photoshop 2020 will not let me delete the shapes from the toolbar when the shape tool is selected and since there is no shapes category in the preset manager, I am stuck with two of everything and every folder.

I accidentally appended all the default shapes thinking that it would give me new shapes instead but it was the same ones that were already there and because of this problem, I cannot deleted the duplicate shapes.

I have several custom made outlines that I named and saved as Custom Shapes. I have used these shapes repeatedly in the past, but now when I click on the Custom Shape Tool they are no longer listed - they have unexplicably disappeared. Normally I would just redraw the shapes, but these are complicated outlines that took hours to draw the first time around. Is there anyway to figure out how to recover these? I don't understand why Photoshop would have deleted them? Thanks for your help!

The Shaper picker in the option bar is what I typically use, and that's where I would previously find my custom shapes. But as of this morning, the list of shapes has been dramatically reduced and most of my saved custom shapes are missing (two of them remain).

Apparently all of the earlier (legacy) shapes are in a folder by that name. Here's how to find them: In Photoshop -Go to the "Window" option in the top menu bar of your screen (between View and Help). 2) Click Shapes to add it to active panels (or the panel dock). Click the menu icon in the upper right corner and scroll down to "Legacy Shapes and More" You'll find the shapes from previous versions there I had two subfolders: "2019 Shapes" and "All Legacy Default Shapes" - each with its own subfolders. The simple and complex shapes I've used for years were in the "All Legacy Default Shapes" in recognizable folders (tiles, arrows, symbols, music, nature, etc.)

Hope that works for you!

Combine vector shapes on different layers

Select the layers within the Layers panel. Select contiguous layers with the Shift key and discontiguous layers with the Command/Control key.

Layer > Merge Shapes (Command/Control + E)

Anyone know how to get to the legacy custom shapes? I don't really need a silhouette of a gorilla, but some of those geometric shapes and word bubbles were things I used all the time and now they seem to be gone. Thanks!

I don't have this as an option on my version of PS (v21.0.1). When I clicked "Restore Default Shapes...." it just doubled the folders "Leaf Trees, Wild Animals, Boats, Flowers". I also can't find a download or import of the legacy shapes... any suggestions?

Yes, it is the case because you are not in the shapes panel, but in the option bar, and you did not select the legacy shapes, but restore default shapes option.

Lynette, you mean it is important that you use the shapes panel that you get from the menu Windows>Shapes, and NOT the drop down visible in the option bar.

Yes, I made a feature request about this very issue, please vote and explain how baffled you were not to find the option where you expected to find it in this discussion: -ecosystem-ideas/add-legacy-shapes-patterns-gradients-swatch...

Any suggestions for the Mac version of Photoshop CC 2020? I still have the application support files for CC2019, so I suspect the shapes will be somewhere in there but some help on the folder location would be most useful if anyone can point me in the correct direction.

Sadly the location for custom shapes in PS CC 2019, which I found under Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2019/Presets is empty, so must have been deleted during the update to 2020. Removing the sensible custom shapes like arrows and replacing them with things like flowers and trees seems a retrograde step for professional photographers. I downloaded a free set of custom arrow shapes from -abundant-arrow-shapes-pack and then used the import custom shapes tool (in the "cog" toolbox when you open the custom shapes tool) to import the csh arrows shapes library file.

Seeing lots of posts regarding SHAPES in latest PS CC 2020 (21.1.3) but no joy. I have grayed out shapes and nothign I do solves the issue. I have copied the shapes files to multiple different spots with no resolution.

Photoshop will NOT tell you that there is a maximum number of shapes you can have loaded. Nothing complains there are too many. I found out by double-clicking the Shapes .CSH file and Photoshop displayed an error saying too many shapes were already loaded.

Deleting the shapes from the folder and restarting

Deleting the shapes from the folder and restarting does not change things. You have to manually DELETE the Shapes or Shape Groups in the panel.

Well, I had a collection of 12,000 shapes loaded from previous versions of Photoshop that had seemingly no issues.

I did not test how many was the upper limit. I just deleted the folder

Yes, I am aware of the resource consumption but I have a 96GB HP Z800 Dual Xeon system with a 2TB SSD Scratch disk so I am not that starved for RAM or Scratch...

Hello Pierre --I have three problems, I can't download new shapes into presets, I can't download historical presets, and I can't delete duplicated presents. For example, I find all 4 presets duplicated at least once, some three times. The delete button is grayed out in all cases.

The expected behaviour is that it would paste into that same layer as another object.

Now it pastes it as a new layer.

I'd understand if that's a behaviour change, but I can't find any method to paste into a layer now. Edit > Paste Special > Paste Into is greyed out, and using the "Path Operations" button in the top toolbar doesn't allow me to combine shapes when no object is selected. I can't think of any other methods.

So basically I'm asking if it's a bug, or has the behavious changed and there's no way to combine shapes by pasting anymore? Merging layers is an option but it's much slower when working with many shape objects in one layer.

This is using Photoshop 21.1.0 on MacOS 10.14.6.

Thanks!

I do not understand how one Paste shapes into existing shapes. I know how to combine and merge shapes but not paste and combine. What steps do you use to Paste an shape into an existing shape layer. Paste normally add a layer to a document. When I have a shape on the clipboard on windows the only paste options the seem to be available is Past and Paste in place. Both add an new shape layer.

In Photoshop 21.1.0, it's automatically pasting it into another layer, doing exactly the same technique as above. That may sound useful, but I'm often copying shapes from one layer and wanting to place it into another layer, where the previous behaviour of pasting into the layer was super helpful.

I'm on the latest version of Photoshop CC 2019. I select custom shape (I want to create a talk bubble) but my basic shapes seem to be gone. All I get is Tree Leaves, Wild Animals, Boats and Flowers...what gives? I tried to reset default shapes and it just gave me the same choices.

This might bee too late but I had the same issue as you until I did the following. Go to the menu, then Window>shapes. Once that box is there you will only see options for useless things like animals and what not, but lick on the three lines at the top right of that little box. There should be an option to select legacy shapes and then you'll have it in your selection!

Thank you for this answer. What a curious decision to replace the default shapes that have been there since before I can remember with a selection of trees and boats. Why not just leave the "legacy" shapes in there by default in their own tidy folder so people don't have to scratch their heads and go to help forums?

Some of the things that software developers (generally) do, never ceases to amaze me. Why on earth, would Adobe not have put the legacy shapes as default in the dropdown selector? Why? Yet another waste of my time trying to figure out what went wrong! I'm guessing that developers at Microsoft and Adobe are one and the same thing, right?

I'm starting out with illustrating in Photoshop (beginner) and I simply created some art using the basic square, circle marquee tools, and filling them with colors. When zoomed in, these shapes are pixelated. But my image resolution is high if I'm not mistaken. What am I missing here? How do I get these to be vector shapes? I appreciate your support.

Learn the basics of drawing shapes using the shape tools in Photoshop! Covers the geometric shape tools which include the Rectangle, Ellipse, Triangle, Polygon and Line Tools. Updated for Photoshop 2022.

Vector shapes are drawn using points connected together by straight or curved lines, and they remain scalable and editable without ever losing quality. A path is also scalable and editable, but it's simply the outline of the shape without any fill or stroke. And a pixel shape is made of pixels, just like images. e24fc04721
