How to use Pen Tool in Photoshop

 

                 
 Today i would like to share how to use pen tool in photoshop. In this tutorial we use fantastic method to use pen tool. So, let's have a look...

             
                       
This for me is why Photoshop is the best editing software on the market. Okay let’s start by isolating or cutting out objects which just blows my head off because you can do absolutely anything you like with it.
But you need to know when you use the two different techniques. If you’re going to use clipping then you need to use this method on objects which have hard edges. If you want to use the extract filter you need to make sure your objects are on detailed backgrounds, plus you also need to know that a layer mask will help you if there is little contrast between the object and it’s background.
Okay let’s start with the Clipping method, this method like I said before is very effective for hard edges, so you need to select the Pen Tool (P), and choose the Paths button in the options bar.
Next comes the long and hard bit as you need to create a path that tightly follows the outline of your object and a good idea here is to use the zoom on your image.
You can also use the Direct Selection Tool as this will help you adjust the handlebars for the path which you are creating. See image below.

Once you have finished this you then need to select your image layer from your layer palette and then you need to Select Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path. What we are doing here is creating a halo around the object we want to cut out.
Next use the Direct Selection Tool (A), the reason you need to use this is because you will need to later get your path from the vector mask, plus you also now need to get rid of the halo. As you can see from the image below you now have a nearly perfect cut-out of your flower.
