Custom Shape Tool includes 30 custom shapes.
Is there a way to add my personal shape to the Custom Shape Tool? If so, how? I could not find the instruction in on-line Photoshop help. I currently use Photoshop CS2. Craig

Yes. Make your shape using the Pen tool or import a path or Shape from Freehand or Illustrator. Then go to Edit>Define Cusom Shape. All there is to it.

Thanks for the tip.
When I tried your instruction, Define Custom Shape was grayed out. What could be wrong.
The image which I tried to add to Custom Shape is our logo. I am wondering whether the problem has to do with logo color or not. Craig

What exactly did you do? Is there a path visible on your screen? I doubt the color has anything to do with it.
