I revamped the old Pen-Tool tutorial, because it was missing some explanation. Also I found it may be a bit hard for some people. Right now I have explained EVERYTHING about the different pen-tools and did this at a level, even people who are new to photoshop can understand!
�The Pen Tool can be a hard and frustrating thing to learn.� I didn't have any problems with learning how to use it, but that differs from person to person how fast they learn to use it.
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to use the Pen tool in Photoshop to create your own custom shapes. I'll take you through a series of exercises that will guide you through the basic, essential functions of the Pen tool.

Although the pen tool is intrinsic to illustration applications such as Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand, it is not the most intuitive tool for Photoshop born�and�bred artists. The familiar, fluid selection and painting tools don't apply. I hope to shed some light on the Pen Tool and dispel some of the myth because this really is an industrial strength power tool. I'll admit that when I'm evaluating a fresh�eyed art school graduate who struggles to make a selection with the Magic Wand when the Pen Tool could do the job better in a fraction of the time, it just screams to me � �no real�world experience!�. Get friendly with this tool.
This Photoshop tutorial will show you how to use the pen tool. You will learn the basic controls of the pen tool, how use the pen tool to cut out an image, and how to make custom shapes.-Melissa Clifton
In this tutorial we'll learn how to use pen tool and will create a cutout of an old man to knock out the background.
When it comes to making selections in Photoshop, there's really two types of people - those who know how to use the Pen Tool, and those who struggle.
On the picture you see the "Pen" tool selected. (hotkey p). The drop down menu will appear by left clicking and holding down your mouse a second. -The most upper tool is the "regular Pen tool". -The second tool is the "free transform Pen tool". This tool allows you to add selection to your current selection just by clicking, holding down and moving your mouse. -The third tool is the "Add anchor point tool" this tool adds another anchor point between two anchor points points. -The fourth tool is the "Delete anchor point tool" this tool deletes an anchor point. -The last tool is the "convert point tool" this tool allows to change the corners from one anchor point to another. Does this look confusing? No worries everything will become more clear in the tutorial.
3.If you don't want to work with many layers (that must be confuse), work with the shapes - witch has the same color - in the same layer, just mark the option "Add to Shape Area (+)". You have others options, to create a new shape, to subtract, to intersect and exclude overllaping shapes. As you have with the others tools on Photoshop. Sometimes, is useful to reduce the opacity, to see what you have under the shape.
Creating a Shape The shape on the left is a finished shape whilst the shaper on the right is not. I will explain the shape on the left using the right as a reference. First, select the pen tool from the tool palette on the left. When you left-click on your canvas you will see a dot. This is called an Anchor Point. (labeled as 1) It also consists of two more points called Control Points. After click to add a second anchor point if you where to click and drag, it automatically changes the control points to change the curve of the line. If you are still not happy with the curve of the line, hold alt + click on the control point on the INSIDE of the line, (labeled as 2) drag it to change the curve till your happy. The other control point, (Labeled as 3) controls the curve of the next portion of the line (yet to be drawn). Usually you don’t want to mess with this point. Sometimes it is necessary for making sharp turns in the line. You will also notice that I drew an arrow over to the Layers Palette. It is pointing at the new shape layer that was created automatically for the new “Blob�? shape I created.
8. In this step, we can use "Add Anchor Point Tool" in any place we wanted to start first. a. So I'll gonna start first at the side-head of maori. b. Use “Add Anchor Point Tool�? - Click the path where you wanted to drag to form a ‘line bend’ - just use 1 click to have a point c. Now click and HOLD the point area and stretch and drag to the edges of Maori. d. Now do the same thing with the other lines,click and drag. Until you form the shape of Maori
Open the image up in Photoshop and blow it up to 300%. Select the pen tool by hitting the (P) key. Follow around the edge of the circle by clicking with the mouse and setting �anchor points�.
Good thing about cutting images with a pen tool is that you can be very precise and you can save shapes from cut outs.
The Pen Tool Okay, this week I am going to show you the basics of the Pen Tool. As a Photoshop Artist, I am asked to explain the Pen Tool more than anything else. I will show you how to create a neat little star using it. It requires a great deal of patience, as we will be using very specific coordinates to gain a perfect star. I would set this tutorial at a Beginner's Level, but one with a great deal of patience. First, we begin by starting a new image, 640x480 with a white background - and then turn on the Grid Option (Control + ").

The Pen Tool You've all heard of it. some of you try to keep your distance... Thats not good. here, in this simple tutorial, you'll learn easily how to use the pen tool. These are all of the seven pen tools. The most important one is the actual pen tool. The first tool in the pen's drop down menu. This tool is used to create the anchor points for your path. Anchor points are the points that your lines/curves will be guided by. The curve of you line depends on the direction lines of your anchor points. But more on that later. Any active anchor point will be solid (or a filled in square), while non-active anchor points will be hollowed out (or an outline of a square). A closed path is a solid shape and an open path is a line/curve. The Freeform Pen tool. The second tool in the pen's drop down list. This is used to draw freely (freehand) were it's much like the lasso tool. I dont like to use this one mainly because i dont have a steady hand. So the outcome is worse. Add Anchor Point Tool. The third tool in the pens drop down menu. This tool is used to, of course, add anchor points to existing paths. If you hover over a path, your mouse pointer will automatically turn into this tool if you have the "auto add/delete" option checked. Delete Anchor Point Tool. 4th tool in this group of tools. This tool is to delete anchor points on paths. This will also automatically show when hovering over an anchor poiont if the auto add/delete option is checked. The Convert Point Tool. The last of the pen tools, thi is used to modify the curves on paths by editing the direction lines. To remove the curves of a line, just click on an anchor point with this tool. Next, are the Path Selection Tool and the Direct Seleciton Tool. Path Selection Tool. This tool is used to move full paths. Just click on the path to select it, and drag to move the path. Direct Selection Tool. Used to move line segments, anchor points, or entire paths like the Path selection tool. To move the anchor points or line segments, you must click on whatever it may be, and start dragging.

This tutorial explains how to master the pen tool in great detail, carefully walking you through all it's features as you trace a penguin image.
But wait! I still hate that eye, so I go back one more time to fix it. Now is the time to fix anything you hate before coloring. As you can see, I'm a bit of a sloppy inker, but that's just part of my style: half-assed ;]
I painted with light and came up with this ??? you can increase or decrease the effect with the exposure control on the top toolbar?????????I used 11% - change it and see what happens. Do the painting to the car only you need not touch the background.
In this tutorial, we take a look at the pen tool and how to use it, by following a technique called vector tracing. Vector tracing means you're tracing over an existing image (in our case a photograph of a pepper) with the pen tool. Vector tracing as we're using it, allows us to create a very realistic representation of the photograph we're tracing.

1. Accuracy. There is no way you are going to get the same level of control using the lasso tool or other selection methods. Using the pen tool enables you select partial pixels. This means that the edges of your selection will always be smooth (no jagged pixel edges). The pen tool literally puts transparency on the bit of the pixel that exists outside of the selection.
So, let's select the Pen Tool from the Toolbox. It's the button that looks like an old-fashioned Pen. Tool.
Create a new document 600�400 pixels with any background color, create a new layer above your background layer called �nib pt1? (nib part one). Select the polygonal lasso tool, firstly create a rectangle fill with the color black. Still with the polygonal lasso tool make a diagonal cut on the left chopping off the end of the rectangle.
Step 1 Firstly create a new document and fill the background with a light color and select the pen tool .You'll also need to check your pen settings, once selected they are located below the 'File', 'Edit' and 'Image' tabs.
If you fail(by releasing the mouse and didn`t have the wanted result),the command to get one step back is Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Alt+Z for more steps back.
