What is Pen Tool?


In Adobe Photoshop, the pen tool is frequently made use of in the creations of smooth-edged selections, yet is not a type of selection tool. The Pen Tool develops vector paths that can be converted into selections that in turn can be utilized to extract or mask group of pixels.

Photoshop provides several Pen tools. The basic Pen tool draws with the greatest accuracy; the Freeform Pen tool draws paths as if you were drawing with pencil theoretically, and the magnetic pen option lets you draw a path that snaps to the sides of defined areas in your image. You could utilize the pen tools along with the shape tools to create difficult shapes. When you use the standard Pen tool, the following with options are available in the options bar:

  • Auto Add/Delete, which allows you add an anchor point when you click a line section or delete an anchor point when you click it.
  • Rubber Band, which allows you preview path segments as you move the pointer between clicks. (To access this option, click the pop-up menu to the right of the custom shape symbol.).

Note: Prior to drawing with the Pen tool, you could create a new path in the Paths panel to automatically save the work path as a named path.

Let's take exactly what we've discovered until now, and use it in some standard design. If you're making use of the same sized file as I am (with default Photoshop grid choices), you must be able to Copy + Paste these templates in your file, and also follow my anchor points quickly.

  1. First make a Rounded Rectangular shape. We already have a custom shape that does this, but often design makes require changed rounded boxes of kinds. pen-tool-example7

    The Rounded Rectangle Forming usages basic curves, and also is really simple to create. With some minor adjustments, we could make rectangular shapes with only 1, 2, or 3 of the corners rounded, while keeping the rest sharp edges.
