So I'm using the Pen Tool in Photoshop CS5 and one thing I noticed is that I have to keep on right clicking my mouse and selecting the "Stroke Path.." option in order to apply a stroke to my pen anchor points. Obviously this gets very tiresome and annoying as it'd be a lot easier to have strokes already applied to the anchor points without me having to go back and forth and singularly clicking "Stroke Path..." for every stroke that I make. I don't have Illustrator if you were going to suggest so Photoshop is really my only option now. So I was basically wondering if anyone knows of a way on how to automatically apply strokes to the pen tool without having to continuously click the "Stroke Path..." every time in order to do it. Thanks

Press B then enter to quickly brush a path that is selected

To go back to pen tool press P

If your really keen you can create a custom keyboard shortcut to the stroke path. Edit > Keyboard shortcuts...
