: Photoshop path operation problem I have a little Photoshop-Problem and couldn't find a solution for it by searching the web. I guess I'm doing something wrong, so it would be brilliant if someone

I have a little Photoshop-Problem and couldn't find a solution for it by searching the web. I guess I'm doing something wrong, so it would be brilliant if someone could point me into the right direction.

The problem is: I'd like to subtract one shape from another. But every time I try to do this by clicking on the respective button in the toolbar, I get a very queer result, where all of the background is suddenly filled with the colour of the first shape. But when I use the same operation via right-click, everything works. Why could that be? I'm very confused.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance

: Increase the number of Anchor points on a circle in Illustrator? By default the circle has 4 anchor points. Is there a way to increase it? Not manually adding them with the Add Anchor Point

Create two shapes in one layer and select shape which you want to subtract (but confirm that your selected shape must be in front of other shape). Apply "Subtract Front Shape" (command from the option bar).

Use the shift key to select two layers. Go to your layers panel by pressing shift, select the two layers and then go back to the screen and then right click your mouse.

When you use Subtract front shape (from the tools options bar) it subtracts the front shape from the whole document and it uses the color of the front shape as default which is the circle.

When you use subtract front shape by selecting the two object(circle and rectangle) the front shape(circle) is subtracted from the rectangle.
