Master Selections With The Pen Tool πŸ”₯


Hey Reader!

The Pen Tool is probably one of the most daunting tools for beginner photo editors. It just works differently than any other selecting tool, BUT it's one of the most powerful and underutilised tools to make pixel perfect selections.

This tool works best when you're selecting a subject without fuzzy edges (i.e. fur, hair) and I'll show you how to do this with just your mouse or even trackpad (no pen tablet needed!)

In this tutorial we'll cover:

  1. The most efficient way to make a curve around your subject
  2. Tips and tricks that will make using the pen tool easier
  3. How to then shape your curve using the Node Tool
  4. How to subtract shapes from your curve
