Although it is an old post, I still hope to go here and discuss with you again, because PS is also to be warm so as to know the new.

When I wrote this practice post to explore the object is the first brother, so this post is suitable for the beginning of the Goche elder sister to see, pen tool has been very familiar with xueyou will gently drift over it.

Before we get to the point, I want to dispel some people's concerns, the pen tool is actually just seemingly difficult to learn, or relatively simple, patience to learn a few days you will be proficient, and once you have mastered it will feel that the tool

Absolutely fantastic,

Rely on the path of dots and lines (fragments), from drawing a simple heart-shaped contour, to making a huge workload of beauty hand-painted, the role of pen tool is simply not to be underestimated! I once said that the latter is to see the picture first,

Look at the picture what? Of course, it is a careful look at the picture, see how it comes to PS? What is the right tool? What's the first p? and so on, and so on.

If you have a safe or mature idea before you start, you will have more effort. Blind p, that's not going to work.

Pen tool is easy to learn, but not to despise him, it is simple, but the effect is very powerful. Let's go through a simple picture-drawing exercise and learn the pen tool.

This sports car's picture is randomly downloads from the Baidu, the pixel is not too high, the background is more complex, suitable uses the pen tool to be able efficiently quickly safely to pull out. Can I use the channel? Yes, but you have to rework along the edge of the sports car,

In addition, the separation in the channel is also very cumbersome. With the extraction line is not good, also, if this background and sports car similar color, pull out the tool is dumbfounded. Of course, you can also use the polygonal lasso tool or the background eraser tool, etc.

However, the former is prone to error, the latter trivial. Therefore, the pen tool must be a pick for complex backgrounds or images that are difficult to distinguish from the background of the human eye.

Then have a friend asked, beautiful hair picture with pen tool can not?

Of course not, hair with channels, extraction, plug-ins or edge adjustment tools can generally let hair and background in a certain way to separate and pull out, this is their strength. If you use a pen to dig, by its fine hair,

Will pull people to the exhaustion. We can also like this for example, extraction channel plug-ins, such as repair capillary experts, absolute meticulous work; The Pen tool is an expert at repairing muscle tissue, a broad strokes of work.

Fine things coarse, or coarse things, are not worth the candle, indicating that the choice of tools seriously improper.
