• Question about the pen tool (w / photo inside)

  Hi all! I have a question about the pen tool. I think that this picture is very useful for my question:

  

  So in this pic is an orange rectangle, and within this rectangle is a blue strip. I would like the blue band surface perfectly (not too much and not covered) the edge of the rectangle. For example, on the lower end of the blue band, you can clearly see that the band does not extend quite far to the edge of the orange rectangle. At the top of the band, he's a little more (a little hard to see). I work with some complex shapes when you use the pen tool and it's really slow me down to compensate for over/under Forms. If she could just snap to the borders of the other forms that would make my life a lot easier. Thanks for reading and please help!

  Duplicate the orange shape and change the fill color to blue. Draw your new shape on that layer, using the Intersect option.

• I use CS6 and when I use the pen tool, it removes the Interior isn't the external image of the image

  I've been using photoshop cs5 and cs6 for some time, but I've never encountered this problem. Whenever I use the pen tool to draw an object and I close the outline object, it deletes the object I have traced him and not the bottom. It's really annoying and I can't change it. I have spentt a good amount of time to try to change but I don't know how. Can someone please help I also watched online, but there is nothing to help.
  Thank you Alex

  Hello

  This is probably the path setting operations.

  The default setting in photoshop cs6 is to exclude the shapes that overlap, and you can also use forms combine.

  

• Refine the edge using the pen tool?

  Yes you can but not directly. Right-click on the canvas after you create your drawn path and in the menu, select "make a selection. You can refine that as usual.

• Photoshop CS4: Using the pen tool to add corner rather than the curved anchor anchors

  Hello people, I tried everything I could think about using different sentences, but have yet to find a way to do it or if it was possible. I'm working on a project that requires the addition of many corner anchors to paths. By default, using the feather of Photoshop CS4 adds curve anchors. Therefore I have to add the anchor and then convert it into a corner. Is there an easy way to make the PS to create corners instead of curves with the pen tool? Even using combos Shift-Ctrl-alt-click did not help? Would save me time and mental health!

  Thank you all,

  Try adding points with the normal pen, hold down the ALT key and clicking twice.

• How can I quickly turn in selection after using the pen tool?

  Is there a quick key/s to make a selection with what I come with the pen tool?

  I don't know if there is a keyboard shortcut, but I created an action to do and then assign one of the function keys to this action. I wanted a 1 feather px on my selection, that's why I've included that in the action as well.

• Using the pen tool in Illustrator

  I am a beginner and try to re - create a logo with better resolution for a client.  I have problems with the e fill with black.

  I am attaching a capture to help you see what I'm talking about screen.  It won't let me get out the color?

  

  Did you group a compound path again? It will take to make the meter of the 'e' work properly. Or yo can just cheat and do the filling of white counter, but then it will not work if you put it on a colored background. If it's a compound path, then open the attributes Panel and try to change the direction of the path.

• Make wavy/wavy lines WITHOUT the pen tool? Help! (Image included)

  I don't remember how I created free form wavy lines in the past. I do not use the pen tool or create paths. I did a straight line using my brush, and then I think that I've transformed it. But when I made waves in the line, I got control of the forms being created, I na not auto create them through a filter of deformation, I did them manually. He took every 2 minutes. But now I don't remember how. Help, please!

  That's what looked like one of my lines.

• Y at - it a keyboard shortcut to break the handles of the points while you use the pen?

  When you use the pen tool, it smooths the points that you add, but sometimes I'm not, so far, the only way that I was able to fight against this phenomenon is using pen, press V to switch to the selection tool, click to deselect the path, and then press P to use the tool pen once again and then again by selecting the end point.

  This process becomes very annoying during long projects, and I hope that someone will be able to solve for my.

  (I want more precisely the keyboard shortcut for Mac, but it would be good if you could give the PC keyboard shortcut too for other people looking at it.)

  Use the Alt key to move to the anchor-point-conversion tool temporarily. Use the command key to proceed to the last used Selection tool temporarily

• The button mask dimmed when the pen tool selected?

  Hello...

  I'll follow a tutorial on how to use the pen tool.

  The tut shows that I should be able to click the button mask to create a trans BG. However, mine is grayed out. I can't find a reason why this would be. I am able to use the layer mask in other circumstances.

  (The tut to take me a picture to draw around the image on practice of pulling/slide, twist, adding handles and so forth).

  I have the pen tool on the way, but the mask becomes not available in one of the options.

  The tut said to click on Ctrl + click on the path, and then click the button mask.

  Any ideas why the mask is gray?

  As always ~ I really appreciate your help.

  Hope you are having a great day/night

  You must convert the background layer to a regular layer by double clicking on the thumbnail of the layer in the layers panel.

  Press OK in the dialog box that follows.

  To convert the active path into a selection, press Ctrl + Enter (or right click in the path and choose to make selection), and then press the button layer mask on the bottom of the layers panel.
