What is the practical use of fountain pens in PS? What is the main purpose of the pen tool in PS?

After clicking the pen tool, look at the status bar above, which is the one below the menu bar, and there are three icons in the second small column on the far left, select the middle one (the one with a pen tip in a box), so that the path is ticked, and it will not be connected in black

When modifying this path, you need to select the path in the path panel and use the Path Selection Tool to directly select the tool to adjust it.

The main purpose of cutout is hehe.

The pen tool (P) is a shortcut key, (two points become a straight line) Use the pen tool to click a point, and then click the next point along the contour of the ** clothes to draw, and then do not let go of the mouse, the left button press the left mouse button and drag down to change the amplitude to control the contour and technique of the edge of the clothes. Zero-based learning PS points it, it's all ready for you.

After changing the amplitude, you need to determine it, press the alt key and click the middle arrow key with the mouse, and click it to determine it, so that the outline cutout above the whole is operated like this (and so on).

After selecting, click on the first one and it will be closed (the closure is also to ensure that you are sure that the picture is deducted), so the path presented on the ** will be presented.

Click Ctrl+Enter (change from path to selection), then click Select-Modify-Feather (1 or 2 values), and the shortcut to feather is Shift+F6. The feathering is just to make this ** edge not stiff, and play the effect of silky edges. So it's important to remember why we feather every time we cut out.

After selecting the characters, press the copy key (Ctrl+J) to copy a layer, that is, copy the characters in the place where you just cut out, and present the place expressed in the picture (but you have to turn off the eyes of the background layer to see it), and a perfect cutout will be presented.

Pen Tool: p

Convert the path to a selection: Ctrl+Enter.

Feather: shift+f6

Copy: Ctrl+J

To deselect a district: Ctrl+D

The Pen tool is a vector drawing tool that draws smooth curves that remain smooth whether you scale or deform. The shape drawn by the pen tool is usually called a path, and the path can be open or closed. All the lines drawn by the pen tool are Bézier curves, as shown below, which are composed of line segments and nodes.

And each node has two controls.

1.Disconnect a line. Hold down the Ctrl key and click outside the path.

2.Remove the fulcrum and get the corner. Hold down the AIT key to click on the pivot point.

3.Split lines. Hold down Ctrl to select the line, then click to add two points when the mouse cursor appears "+" where you want to break, then hold down the Ctrl key and drag the line between the selected two points, and then press the Delete key.

The pen tool is very flexible, if you hold down the left knob, there is a handle that is supported by this handle, it will become an arc, such as press alt to remove a side, if you click not to hold it up, it will be a straight line, if you press ctrl+alt to click on the fillet anchor point will turn the fillet into a right angle, on the contrary, press ctrl+alt to click on the right angle to make a rounded corner.

The fountain pen is used to make the path.

The pen tool method – the most precise and laborious method.

Scope of application: The image boundary is complex, discontinuous, and the processing accuracy is high.

Method intent: Completely* manually place the boundary points one by one to cut out the map.

Method flaw: Slow. If you pick out a picture and even pick your hands and feet, it takes about 15 minutes.

How to use: The steps of the pen tool method are as follows:

1. Establish a rough path for the noose.

1) Use the "Rope Sleeve" tool to roughly circle the outer frame of the figure;

2) Right-click and select "Create Working Path", and fill in "2" for tolerance.

2. The pen tool fine-tunes the path.

1) Select the "Pen" tool and select the second "Path" icon in the pen toolbar;

2) Hold down the Ctrl key, click and hold each node (control point) with the mouse, and drag to change the position;

3) Each node has two arc adjustment points, adjust the arc between the two nodes, so that the line is as close as possible to the edge of the figure, which is the key step of smoothness;

4) Add nodes: If there are not enough nodes, you can release the ctrl button and use the mouse to add nodes on the path. Delete a node:

If there are too many nodes, you can release the ctrl button, move the mouse to the node, and click the node to delete it when a "—" sign appears next to the mouse.

3. Right-click "Create Selection", fill in "0" for feathering, and press Ctrl+C to copy the selection;

Create a new layer or file;

In the new layer, press Ctrl+V to paste the selection, and you're good to go!

Deselect the shortcut: Ctrl+D

Note: This tool is not useful for loose hair.

Introduction to Photoshop fountain pens.

Photoshop offers a variety of pen tools. The standard pen tool can be used to draw images with the highest accuracy; The Free Pen tool can be used to draw a path as if you were drawing with a pencil on paper; The Magnetic Pen option can be used to draw a path that aligns with the edges of a defined area in the image. You can use a combination of the Pen tool and the Shape tool to create complex shapes.

When using the standard Pen tool, the following options are available in the options bar:

Auto-Add Delete option, which allows you to add an anchor point when you click a segment, or remove an anchor point when you click an anchor point.

Rubber Belt" option, which allows you to preview the path segment between clicks as you move the pointer. (To access this option, click the pop-up menu to the right of the Custom Shape icon.) ）

Before drawing with the Pen tool, you can create a new path in the Paths panel to automatically save the working path as a named path.

Photoshop pen to use.

You can create a curve by adding an anchor point where the curve changes direction, and then dragging the direction lines that make up the curve's shape. The length and slope of the direction line determine the shape of the curve.

If you drag curves with as few anchor points as possible, curves are easier and they are displayed and printed faster. Using too many points can also create unnecessary bumps in the curve. Draw widely-spaced anchor points by adjusting the direction line length and angle and practice designing curve shapes.

Select the Pen tool.

Position the pen tool at the start of the curve and hold down the mouse button.

The first anchor point appears, and the pen tool pointer changes to an arrow. (In Photoshop, the pointer doesn't change until you start dragging.) ）

Drag to set the slope of the curve segment you want to create, and then release the mouse button.

You can make paths, cutouts, and shapes. That's all I know.

The PS section of the eBook Tech Forum has a detailed tutorial on the Pen Tool.

To make good use of the pen tool in PS, in the final analysis, it is necessary to practice diligently.

The general use of the pen tool is as follows:

Click the Pen tool (or press the shortcut key P) to select the layer you want to cut out (when you cut out), or create a new layer (when drawing). For example, if you want to cut out a character in a shape, select the layer corresponding to the figure and use the pen tool to draw according to the outline of the figure. If you want to draw a separate vector illustration, you need to create a new layer and use the Pen Tool to draw the shape you want.

The left mouse button needs to start the screen as the starting point, and then click again in another place to draw a straight line. If you want to draw a parallel straight line, hold down the shift key while drawing and release it when you are done drawing the line.

Click the left mouse button again at a certain distance, do not release the mouse at this time, drag, a control handle will appear, drag this control handle, you can adjust the arc of this line. When you release the mouse, you get a curve.

Sometimes the control handle will extend the arc too much, so you can hold down the alt key and then click on the point, and the control handle will become a one-way handle. The purpose of this is to make the path depicted more accurate and natural.

When the path drawn by the Pen Tool is closed, press the shortcut Ctrl + Enter to load the path into the selection. This is where the constituency can be conducted. In short, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, tools are often used, and some skills and methods are naturally mastered.

Steps to use the pen tool in PS:

First of all, we must practice more, and secondly, we must start with the simplest learning, drawing lines;

Then read more tutorials on the Internet, and follow along as you go;

Finally, do example drills such as mouse drawing, precise selection, and path cutout.
