A shape layer in
Photoshop is a special type of layer that contains vector graphics, allowing for the creation and manipulation of shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, polygons, and custom paths. Shape layers are resolution-independent, meaning they can be scaled without loss of quality. They also come with their own fill and stroke options, enabling users to apply color, gradients, and effects easily. Additionally, shape layers can be edited at any time, making them versatile tools for design work.
