I wanted an easy way to convert existing non-vector layers in Photoshop into vector shapes. Couldn't find anything online to do this so just made myself an action this morning. Be interested to see if this works and is useful for anyone else.
You can download the action and read more about why I felt the need to create it here:
It's probably worth mentioning that this works well for square objects and content blocks. Not so good for small rounded corners or complex shapes as you would imagine.
