| Apr 16, 2014 at 14:02 | comment | added | harryg | Yeah I figured it would be easier in illustrator (which I unfortunately don't have...) I actually got OK results by first using greyscale then levels and threshold to emphasize the pattern. Then much easier to make a selection from the channel. After tidying it up a bit I have a pretty good path to be turned into a shape. Thanks for the suggestions though | |

| Apr 16, 2014 at 9:47 | comment | added | harryg | I don't want to do anything sophisticated with it; just create a custom shape from it. There are quite a few vector tools in photoshop (pen tool, path from selection etc), I just want to know the best way to get a simple vector shape for scaling/colour fill. | |
