Photoshop Custom Shape to SVG path string

Question

Is there any way to get the SVG path string off a Photoshop custom shape or path? Or is there another way to get/construct similar data? I\'m looking to do something similar to

Answer 1

1. Select and copy the path in Photoshop
2. Launch Adobe Illustrator
3. Create a new Document
4. Paste
5. Save as SVG

If you have Illustrator and have not created all the paths, however, it is probably easier to create them directly in Illustrator.

If you do not have Illustrator, you are probably better off using the free Inkscape SVG editor to draw your paths.

If you do already have the paths in Photoshop, and do not have Illustrator, the best I can think of is to turn on the Info palette in Photoshop select the path points one at a time and manually record the positions of the point itself as well as its handles, and from those manually create the path using absolute curveto commands, 'C' (for the points with handles) and absolute lineto commands, 'L' for those points that have no handles.
