Pen Tool (advanced functions and how to use advance functions)

This is the second part of Pen Tool tutorial. Here we are going to explain advance features of pen tool. In present pen tool is widely use as a multi purpose tool. Ok 1^st we are going to use pen tool as a selection tool.

1. Using Pen Tool as a selection tool.

To use pen tool to make selections you need to create path around the object that you want to select. Usually pen tool paths automatically filling with fill color while drawing paths. We should create paths without fill color. Because we can’t see the image we are going to select. To remove the fill color you need to enable the path only option in the option bar. It will only allow you create path without fill colors.

Now we are going to convert the drew path to selection.  Right click on the path using pen tool. And select the make selection option in the drop down menu.

After that you can see the path is converted to a selection.
