Merge shapes in Photoshop
Merge shapes in Photoshop
Question
I used cmd+J for two perfectly symmetric shapes to join them (points are tied to the pixel grid and that shapes are close to each other with no space between). Works fine if we'll use fill color. But something weird happens when I set the stroke:
How to merge / unite two shapes in Photoshop to avoid that? I found only one way to fix that: overlap one shape over another, but it won't work if we'll have more complicated shapes.
Accepted Answer
The way you merged the shapes (width Cmd+E I would assume) is just fine. It just needs another step. You merged 2 shapes into one, but your shape still contains 2 separate paths
You need to have one of the shape tools active. For example Path selection tool A. And obviously the correct shape layer.
In Path operations, choose Merge Shape Components.
