Photoshop ships with a pretty good selection of custom shapes.  But what if you want more?  Or what if you want to delete some that you've never used?  Or what if you want to save a copy of your shape collection to use on another computer or share with a co-worker?  It's easy to do!  Watch the video, "Photoshop: Loading, deleting, or saving custom shapes."

OK, so now that you can work with vector shapes in Photoshop, what can you do with them?  The graphic designs below were found on http://www.envato.com, an online shop for designers to sell their works.  Look how they use shapes to form dynamic layouts.  Think about semi-transparent shapes.  Think how shapes can be combined. You've learned how to take a photo and "paste into" a shape. The vector shapes in Photoshop add powerful design capabilities.  So, now you can create your own design templates, and sell them on Envato's marketplace.
