I've been googling and searching for an answer to this question. I would like a view where I can see my paths over the image I'm working on (see screenshot)
Anyone that can help me with this?

You can set the layer with your paths to outline mode by command+clicking on the layer in the layers panel. If you have your image in another layer you should still be able to see it.
You can give the path a thickness of 0.5px (or thinner) so that the path shows up.

That's a workaround that I can use, but I'm actually looking for the solution to see the paths as in the image. I see the paths when selected, but when I work on a new path, the selection goes away and so do the paths. Aug 13, 2018 at 9:42

@ThomasvanTil you need to give the path a stroke as the answer says. YOu can apply a default stroke then next time you make the path it will be visible, or you can apply the stroke to the layer, then all paths in that layer would have a stroke that you can toggle. Paths that dont have strokes arent supposed to be visible that's kindof the point of the software. Its not really a workaround just the way the sofware works.– joojaaAug 13, 2018 at 10:34

@ThomasvanTil yes that is outline mode, your image must be set on a separate layer and that layer set to tomplate (double click on layer to access layer mode)– joojaaAug 13, 2018 at 13:42
- Make sure nothing is selected
- Press D to get the default colors
- Set the front color to none
- Add a stroke width
- Get the Pen Tool and start making the path
