Introduction to the Pen Tool

One of the most enduring of Photoshop?s tool set. Stuff of legend and misinformation. The fact that the pen tool has remained nearly unchanged since the earliest versions speaks to the fact that Adobe has this gem just about perfect.

Tedious but Necessary Introduction:
(You are probably accustomed to and expecting a ?show and tell? tutorial. This tutorial doesn?t begin the ?show? part until page three. Hang in there.)
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.

I won?t undertake an exhaustive exploration of everything the Pen Tool is capable of. As with just about everything having to do with Photoshop, different individuals will use the same tools in different ways. I?m a commercial product photographer, and I?m going to show you how I use the pen tool in a commercial graphic arts environment.
