Still not sure why it wouldn't work when I just set the paths to add instead of subtract... | |

However, I need to create an actual visible shape, not just a path of the shape. If the selection is wrong, I know I can go back in and edit the path. | |
| Jun 23, 2016 at 15:15 | comment | added | Thomas Reinstate Monica Myron | Unfortunately I still have the same problem. I made the outside path 'new shape area' and the rest 'subtract from shape area,' but I still have the same result. I believe I've gotten a shape layer with a vector mask containing the path properly, which is great... but I can't do anything if I want to actually make a visible logo (like fill the pixels). | |
