How to use the pen tool in photoshop tutorials.
![]()
"In this Photoshop tutorial we will explore how to use the pen tool.
First, we will look at the pen tool's basic controls. We will examine creating paths, curvature modification and anchor point adjustments."
"Next, we will use our new pen tool skills to cut out an image. This skill is so essential to know when using Adobe Photoshop, and it really illustrates the power behind the pen tool.
Finally we will see how a path created with the pen tool can be used to create custom shapes. Custom shapes are vectors so they will never pixelate or lose quality. Again this is such a handy skill, you'll end up using it all the time! "
