How to select the stroked path so I can adjust it?

[sterile lagoon]

In the tutorials, the path gets selected and can be adjusted too, yet for me after stroking the path the circle selection remains the same. Also in the tutorials, there's no box selection around the circles as there is in mine (screenshot provided)

For the box selection, see if you got "show transform control" selected

I have mine off as I find it disturbing

To adjust the size go to the transform menu (Edit>transform> scale) or just enter the transform worklow by hitting CTRL+T
Then drag the corners to resize it

Thing is the box selection comes when I use the eclipse tool

and transforming it only adjusts the circle, not the brush stroke

Yes sorry, I forgot it was a vector shape. In that case you cannot remove it.
To adjust the size of the stroke (the width) you need to use the slider here

Works for this guy tho

You can also find it in the properties panel.

Yeah but I'd like to adjust the brush stroke with selection as the guy in the vid does

Ok this is completely different

Do you use a path or a shape?

Also can you show your whole interface like he does in the video

I want to see your layers

In his method you can't adjust the size of the brush stroke after applying it, you need to choose a different size as your last used brush

This function retrieves the last used brush as a reference

It's not like in Illustrator when the brush stroke is "live", using this method in Photoshop doesn't create a live brush stroke

So you need to adjust the size before you create and apply the stroke

Path

That's assuming you already used a stroke, with the right size

Fairsies, but I'd still like to move the brush stroke

[blissful scarab]

Now use the select tool (first one at the top)

and move that layer (the new layer you've added)

I used this option in the path panel to apply the latest brush

[sterile lagoon]

Ah, I didn't know that's how the select tool works. Got it, thanks a bunch

Now you can move that layer independently than the path

without the box

To hide the path, go to the path panel, and click anywhere in there, expect that path thumbnail (so basically in the dark grey area at the bottom of the thumbnail)

that's the issue with those 3 minutes tutorials, they omit a lot of things!
