The Direct-selection tool allows you to modify the shape of the path.Use this toselect a point along the path.You may move the whole path by selecting it andclicking on a part of it and dragging.Tip: When using the Pen tool, you can switch tothe Direct-selection tool anytime by pressing the Ctrl.key.(Mac: Command)The Convert-direction-point tool lets you convert a smooth curve to a sharpcurve or to a straight segment, and vice versa.Pen Tool TutorialI've put together an exercise for you to try.Firstly save this image and load it up inPhotoshop.To save it, Right Click and choose"Save As" to download (Mac: Press and holdmouse button on the image, Select Save fromthe popup menu). Select the pen toolClick on Point A.Now Click on Point B.When you do, makesure you click and drag, this will make a curve.Drag until the curved path lines up with theimages curve.Doesn't have to be perfect.Now click on Point C.Remember to dragwhen you click to create a curve.Shape thepath to the images curve as close as you can.I ended up with a little space.There aretimes when it's not always perfect.To fix it, Holddown the Ctrl.key (Mac: Command) this willmake it switch to the Direct Selection tool, clickon the anchor point I have circled and move itup a bit so the path meets the edge of theimage.This will help you understand how the Direct-selection tool works.Click on Point D.Drag to fit the curve. Now click directly on Point A to connect thepath.Remember to drag and match the curveclose as you can.Again lets make another adjustment withthe Direct-selection tool.Hold down the Ctrl.key(Mac: Command) and click on the anchor point Ihave circled, now move it to the right so itmatches the path with the images edge.Try adding an anchor to the path usingthe Add-anchor-point tool.I have an example onthe left of a spot that needed improving.Once you have added a point, Press the Ctrl.key (Mac: Command) and move the new anchorto the images edge.After you're done, you can export thepaths to Illustrator or store the path in the PathPallet.For more options, select the pen tool andright click in the center of the image, you'll nowsee more options such as Delete Path, SavePath, Fill, Stroke Path or even make it aselection like I have below. Tip: A quick way to make the path a selectionis by pressing the Enter key on the keyboard [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
