Hi, Pretty new to Photoshop so forgive a basic question. I am trying to create a "hill" for a design. I would actually prefer to do this in Illustrator but can't figure out how to do it. Anyway, have CS3 Photoshop 10.0.1. I can't get the Custom Shapes Tools to work. I did locate the Custom Shapes Manager and saw that there are contours, but can't get them to load. What step am I missing? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Again, I would prefer to do this in Illustrator so the "hills" will integrate nicely into the design. Thanks for helping a very confused person!

I don't have Illy so no help there. I did locate the Custom Shapes Manager and saw that there are contours, but can't get them to load. What step am I missing? Contours aren't custom shapes. Contours are curve settings use in styles. Contours...CS3 Help document: <http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/10.0/WS9BDAC2D2-5D38-4eb5-B57D-04981BB663EB.html> FWIW, there isn't a "hilly" shape in the prepackaged shape set. I don't recall seeing any on the exchange either. Input Custom Shape in the live doc search bar box to find out about them... As for a "hilly" custom shape, it would be easy enough to draw one using the pen tool. If you just hate using the manual, try looking at this link: <http://www.myjanee.com/tuts/shapes6/shapes63.htm> HTH, Terri
