How do I turn this selection of "Tim Hortons" into a vector mask such as the character in the forground that I did with the brush tool?
I would do the sign with the brush, but if I can get that nice clean selection converted into a mask, that'd be great!

Thanks

Hi northernsoul,
- Go to the Paths palette and convert selection to path
- Pull down "Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path"
- Done

I dont get the option of choosing "current path"

I did find a way though. I just left my selection on, went to my layer mask, and went over the selection with a brush and the selection was the only thing to fill. Anything outside of the selection wasn't touched.
Don know why I cant select "Current Path"....oh well, so much to learn still..............endless.
