00:00:01,200 –> 00:00:03,260
Welcome to Pen Tool Photoshop
This tutorial is another exercise file for

2
00:00:03,260 –> 00:00:05,840
you to practice on
I’ll be cutting around this image

3
00:00:05,889 –> 00:00:09,660
Being sure to include the inside areas
This image has a slight complexity to it

4
00:00:09,660 –> 00:00:13,080
I that it has long curves
Long curves can sometimes be difficult to

5
00:00:13,080 –> 00:00:15,160
cut out,
whilst maintaining a nice curved shape to

6
00:00:15,170 –> 00:00:16,930
the image
I’ll now cut this image out

7
00:00:16,930 –> 00:00:19,330
I’ll also speed the footage up
so the video is not so long

8
00:02:31,520 –> 00:02:34,720
So that was using the Pen Tool
to Path around an image, convert the Path

9
00:02:34,720 –> 00:02:36,960
into a selection
by holding down command and clicking on the

10
00:02:36,960 –> 00:02:37,840
Path
and then while the selection is loaded

11
00:02:37,840 –> 00:02:39,680
clicking on add a mask it will convert the
background

12
00:02:39,680 –> 00:02:40,840
into a layer and it will automatically add
the mask

13
00:02:40,840 –> 00:02:42,960
Wherever is white on the mask is where the
image shows through

14
00:02:42,960 –> 00:02:45,360
Whatever is black is transparent
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial and
