Hi! New member, first post, so if this question is covered in a FAQ somewhere just jump all over me, OK? (heh, I know you will!)
I was almost finished selecting a large and complicated area with the pen tool. First pen click, Painter jumped out of the layer I was working in and created a new shape layer. I wasn’t worried because in the past when I converted a completed pen-tool outline “shape” into a selection, the shape layer went away and the selection ants appeared in the original layer I wanted it in. So that’s OK (though not exactly intuitive.) This time, though, somewhere in the process of clicking all the umpty little line anchors of my will-be-selection I got shifted into a second shape layer. I didn’t notice this happening, just went on my click-happy way. Now I’m finished making the long wiggly line surrounding what I want to select, but half the line is in one shape layer and half is in another one.
Is there any way to merge or combine these two shape layers so that the ends of the two halves of the whole pen-tool outline can be connected into a completed shape?
Thanks very much!
