I have the below situation and I am trying to remove the right part of this character (background color + working path).

What I've tried:


Layer mask but not so happy with the result when we have another visible element over the masked area, there are some visible thin strokes; Please find the exported pdf result.
Using the delete anchor point tool, I've managed to redefine a specified zone but I can't loose the background color. Actually I thought that this will be enough to have a new shape but not. In the same time, I can't use the erase tool because first I should rasterize and I don't want that.





Using the direct select tool (A) selecting the right unwanted area + deleting but I came back to the previous phase, being unable to delete the color that fill that path, or at least I don't know how to do it without rasterize the layer.

It would be much easier to use a vector image editor for creating or editing vectors, either Adobe Illustrator or even the free software Inkscape.org - Photoshop on the other hand only has very basic vector capabilities.

In any case, it can be done in Photoshop.


Add anchor points using the Add Anchor Point tool, where you want to cut it
Use the Direct Selection tool A to click drag a selection box around the anchors you want to delete.
Press Delete
Change the shape fill to No Color - or choose a different colour fill.
