Hi.
Whenever I try to use the "stroke path" option for my pen tool, the stroke path only goes to where the anchor points are, so I end up with a whole bunch of dots. Can anyone help? I'm still kind of new to CS4.
Thanks. :)

When you stroke a path, PS uses the last tool setting. Before you stroke, open the brush engine and set it the way you want (size, opacity, spacing, etc.).

Yeah.
I tried changing the settings and retrying the stroke path, but I'm still getting the same result. Frown

Make certain of your settings... Make sure the spacing box is not unchecked in the brush engine. If it's unchecked, look at the result I get when I stroke the path. See the screenshot.
