Using Shapes for Corporate Branding Hello everybody, and welcome back to Adobe Photoshop CC Working with Shape Tools. In this module, we'll be looking at using custom shapes for a corporate branding exercise. And in this clip, we'll be capturing a custom paint stroke. So we'll start off here with just some real media materials. I've got a paintbrush and some acrylic paint and a couple pieces of paper. I'm just going to take that brush, and I'm going to create a paint stroke that I think might be useful for a type of corporate logo for a creative type of company. Now I want the paint stroke to be a little bit deeper than this original stroke is, so I'm just going to thicken that paint up a little bit. Then we'll go into Adobe Capture again on the phone, we'll frame the paint stroke, adjust the slider a little bit to get some good contrast. I don't think smoothing is required on this one, so we'll just go ahead and save this to our Shapes library. And we'll call this one paint stroke. Tap on the checkmark, and then it gets added to our Photoshop shapes. In our next clip, we'll go into Illustrator and start cleaning this up and turning it into something that looks like a corporate logo.
