Earlier this year, during some conversation on the excellent Photoshop and Lightroom Facebook Group, I proposed that one of my objectives for 2014 would be to create a good set of instructional videos for the Photoshop Pen Tool – a series that would be thorough, yet accessible. One mention of the Pen Tool makes many Photoshop users quake with fear and dread, and I think this is unfortunate – the Pen Tool is powerful and is the “right tool for the job” in many circumstances – I wanted to demystify this tool and make it something that anyone can learn to use.
I’m glad to say that I’ve put the wraps on a 7-part course covering the Pen Tool, from the basics of paths through to creating complex shapes and using those shapes as selections.
