Phosphor.Digital, "Does Photoshop CS1/2 have the "Cookie Cutter Tool"" #1, 20 Sep 2006 10:46 am </cgi-bin/webx?14/0>

I came across a tool in Photoshop Elements 3 called Cookie Cutters. Can anyone in this group tell me if that function is available on any other subsequent Photoshop offering? Thanks in advance,

Yes, in Photoshop you can use the Custom Shape tool to get a similar effect to Elements cookie cutter. You create a path, and then either use it to clip the image, or create a selection and delete the outside, to get a cookie cutter effect. There are additional effects Photoshop can do, using paths, that element’s cant.

Thanks, Mike, for pointing me in the proper direction. I’ll try to study up on paths and Custom Shapes.

Good answer dickhead…. Since google is the way foward why bother with NGs?

Assholes like you are ten a penny, why not try to be a bit more helpful for a poor sod who may not be as apt at photoshop as yourself?

You know nurture and teach… but i suppose ripping is the easy solution rather than lend a hand…

Or are you one of those elitist types who scorn anyone who knows less than you about software….

Try this:
Open an image in Photoshop.
Tap the "D" key on your keyboard to return Photoshop’s Foreground & Background colors to their default state.
Hold ALT and Double Click on Background in the Layers Palette to turn it into an actual layer.
Add a Layer Mask to this "Layer 0".
Select your Custom Shape Tool [U] and choose "Custom Shape" (the rounded-off "star/blob") up in the Options Bar
From the 3 modes of Custom Shape creation at the left side of the Options Bar, choose "Fill Pixels."
Select a shape from the drop down menu.
Drag out the shape in your document window.
You will see that the inside of the shape has been "cut out" (masked, actually) from your image.
Making sure that the "focus ring" is active on the Layer Mask icon in your Layers Palette, hold CTRL and tap the "I" key to invert the black and white colors in the mask.
See how that affects the "Cut Out?"
Now, with the focus ring still present around the Layer Mask icon, bring up your Filter—
