When applying text wrap to an image (PSD, TIF, JPEG) the user can select a path to apply text wrap to. This allows the user to edit the path within the image using Photoshop’s path editing tools. This is much better than InDesign’s pen for editing a text wrap path. This is probably the worst path editing feature in any professional graphics program. So it’s a good thing we can edit that path somewhere else.

You know what program has the best pen tool? Illustrator. It also has excellent operators for paths, such as expanding paths and merging them. I would love to be able to create and edit a contour using Illustrator’s pen and path tools.

TL;DR: There should be a way to save a path in Illustrator to use as a contour just as we can in Photoshop.
