I have created a shape with the pen tool in CS6, I have multiple shapes that I have built into what should be a single shape. Although when the path tool is not on I can see the single shape I can't seem to set a stroke to it which is an important part of the image design. Can anyone help please
I don't exactly understand what you wrote.
I could be wrong but what it sound like to me is that you created a path with multiple close pen segments that you combined in a shape layer and the your trying to stroke the shape layer using your mutipal segments path. Which is not possible for a shape layer is a fill layer. That is either not filled, or filed with a solid color or pattern. Strokes on a shape layer are strokes around the shape layers edge or edges. You can stroke other non shape and text layer with you multiple segment path. Add an empty layer on top of your shape layer and stroke the path on it.
Next shape layer solof black fill and red stroke
next add empty layer and stroke the path yellow
