To quickly access and use a path repeatedly in different Photoshop files, you should define the path as a custom shape. This allows you to save the path and easily insert it into any document using the Custom Shape tool.

Regarding your question about how to quickly access and use a path repeatedly in a Photoshop file for a client's logo, the best option would be to Define the path as a custom shape. This will let you store the path in the Custom Shape tool, which can then be used in any Photoshop document without having to recreate or copy and paste the path each time. Here's how you can do it:

  • First, make sure your path is selected in the Paths panel.
  • Go to the 'Edit' menu, and select 'Define Custom Shape'.
  • Give it a name that you'll remember, and click OK.
  • Now, whenever you need to use this path in any document, you can select the Custom Shape tool, choose your saved shape from the options, and simply draw it onto your canvas.

By defining the path as a custom shape, it saves you time and ensures consistency in the use of that element across various projects for your client.
