Hi cardinal
Shape tool is generally use to create Path, Shape layer or filled pixel depend on tool setting at option bar. Basically it work similar to pen tool.

To use shape tool to delete the portion of object, you need to covert it to selection. You can create selection from shape only when you use shape tool as Path or Shape Layer.

If you create shape as path, you can go to Path Palette and Ctrl(Command) + Click the path layer you just create. To make a selection from it. The new path layer usually name as Work Path, if you need to keep it for later use you can double click its layer to save path layer.

If you create shape as shape layer you can Ctrl(Command) + Click at Shape layer to make a selection.

I hope this might be useful.

whenever i attempt to delete a portion of an object that was created with the rounded rectangle shape tool or rectangle shape tool, the entire shape is deleted, instead of the piece that i have selected.

when i create an object with the marquee tool and attempt to delete a piece of it using the marquee tool, it works fine. i only have this problem when working with the shape tool.

any tips on what i might be doing wrong? thank you.
