I love to use the pen tool, but had no idea that this level of accuracy could be achieved on curves. Excellent presentation and well presented. Thank you.
Thanks SO much for this Aaron, i've tried many tutorials and have never managed to get to grips with the pen tool. It's true, under 8 minutes and I have it nailed!
Ive used Photoshop for a number of years, but usually avoid the pen tool as all the previous tutorials and books don't really give a clear instruction. Just in the space of this short tutorial , I now fully grasp the pen tool and it will now be my go-to for complex selections. Great work, thank you.
Man... I have been trying to figure out the pen tool in Photoshop for like 20 years. I didn't fully get it and learn how to use it properly until this video. Thank you so much. You definitely won a new fan.
I've been using Photoshop for nearly 14 years and I've *never* been able to get my head around the pen tool; it has always frustrated me immensely when it wanted to curve and I didn't want it to! In 8 minutes you've finally helped me conquer it where no other tutorial ever has! Thank you SO much!! :D :D
Thank you. Years of picking the pen tool up, only to be frustrated and putting it down again was swept aside with your 8 minute lesson and sample image, I have now mastered the art of the pen tool.
Dude, i have struggled with the pen tool for years, i would stare at it and think oh no, then go back to the eraser tool. I watched loads of tutorials but none explained it better then yours. I was immediately able to cut out some very complex shapes. I can not thank you enough. Cheers!
One of my top 5 photoshop resources on youtube (since im broke :D), been learning photoshop for the past month or so and i´ve learned sooo freaking much from you, keep those coming, cheers.
Awesome tutorial! I always have been struggling with the pen tool and ended up using inaccurate alternatives like the lasso and quick selection tool...I can finally use the pen tool with ease and precision! Thank you!
Lovely video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Riddleagan Made Masterpiece Remedy (do a search on google)? It is a great exclusive guide for learning professional photo editing minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.
I just stumbled onto this tutorial after suffering through several others on the pen tool. I wish I'd found yours first! You made this skill relatively easy to learn in a very short period of time. Providing the bird download was inspired as it let me work along with you. Thanks!
wow, you made understanding the pen tool sooo easy!! I'm getting into photoshop at the moment and this tutorial was perfect for an absolute beginner like me - thank you!
With your wonderful energy, experience and practical methods, you are unrivaled. I follow you for years. Thank you for sharing PS wonders for free. I appreciate!
I really like your videos, I've done this exercise twice and your explanation of how a simple and complex curve works with the pen tool simplifies the process for alot for me. I've subrscribed to phlearn, and am really digging it. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! In 8 minutes I learned what I couldn’t in 4 years studying Industrial design (-.- yeah my university sucks! 😒) You are a great teacher! You videos are awesome, easy to digest and fun, I used to hate photoshop now I’m in love .... 😊😊
Lol i learned a lot from this. Undoubtedly, there's a lot of good tutorials out there. But this one right here is exceptional and straight to the point. Also, the witty sense of humor is a big plus! Thanks and keep it up!
Hi #phlearn love to learn from your vid tut..... I have a question to ask, In ps 2019 n above, when am typing ctrl + enter to make the pentool selection ..... It's inversely selecting.... Which shouldn't be happening or in other ps vers usually this doesn't happen, can you tell me does this feature change in cc 2019 version?
Thanks for the insight, it seems there's many that explain how to do it however not everyone can break it down to a science like the way you did excellent instructions thanks for the help!
This is a really great channel. There have been too many incidents where UA-cam prioritizes content that does not give back to the community. Your channel should have way more subscribers, Aaron. The fact that you give people free and in depth tutorials and get recognition for it is a really good thing. This is what UA-cam needs more of, people who give back and are ready to help. Thanks Aaron!!! Btw I’m brand new to the channel and have already watch a lot of videos! Great personality
I always start pen tool with "click and drag" end up with "click click click click click click click click click click click". Thanks for the tutorial Phlearn. You're amazing.
Hi Phlearn, how do you combine separate paths created using the pen tool and select them together to cut out from an image eg 3 separate subjects in same image. Worth a video ?
I cannot thank you enough for this short and extremely helpful video, you were the only people who taught me how to mask and actually make it clear, simple and doable. Thank you guys so much it means the world
Aaron Just been having a play with this Tutorial in CC 2018 and under the Pen Tool found 6 additional options including the Freeform and Curvature Tools I personally found those easier to use than the straight pen tool for editing paths Could you do a tutorial on those for the beginners amongst us
I love to use the pen tool, but had no idea that this level of accuracy could be achieved on curves. Excellent presentation and well presented. Thank you.

This have never been explained to me so comprehensively!!! I cut the bird out easily because you explain the simple curve concept so well!!!

OMG it's just ALT!!! I can't believe I've been missing out on that all these years... THANK YOU!!!!

Best photoshop teacher right here!
Is it possible to use the quick selection tool and use the pen tool for difficult parts?
Just finished up 101-301 and now this is here too. Please don't stop what you are doing, it's real amazing work. PHlearn you later!

This tuto is a huge help. I don't cut out using pen tool but I draw over my line art but am never able to do it properly. Thanks.
Thank you so much for making the intimidating Pen Tool so easy to master, Aaron!
August 11 2021, and PHLEARN is still amazing, thanks for your great tutorials, fantastic, easy and professional :)

I really like your videos, I've done this exercise twice and your explanation of how a simple and complex curve works with the pen tool simplifies the process for alot for me. I've subrscribed to phlearn, and am really digging it. Thanks!
I’ve tried a couple of times to use the pen tool and both times I’ve failed, after another great tutorial I’m going to try again
I was able to use it effectively only after learning the shortcuts.
Nikola Tesla yes the same for me once I took on board the short cuts it started to come together
Basim Miller thanks I’ll check it out
Just how much time I wasted cutting around objects using polygonal lasso tool. Now this is super easy and fast. Thanks a milli.

I understood the pen tool more in the first 2 minutes of your video than every other video I've watched
Thanks a loot sir, I can't understand this tool 1 week in classes but u teach just a mint. I m really thank full sir. I love you soooo much sir
In this case, how would you compare to quick selection tool in terms of accuracy and effiency?
This is a really great channel. There have been too many incidents where UA-cam prioritizes content that does not give back to the community. Your channel should have way more subscribers, Aaron. The fact that you give people free and in depth tutorials and get recognition for it is a really good thing. This is what UA-cam needs more of, people who give back and are ready to help. Thanks Aaron!!! Btw I’m brand new to the channel and have already watch a lot of videos! Great personality
Love how you showed the examples with the pc or Mac good video ! Very convenient
Ahhh, you made it look so simple! Thank you so much!!!
why would people give dislike to this video? I think it is a great video, thank Aaron so much for making all the awesome videos. I love you.
So basically it works like the path tool from Illustrator, right? Good video and explanation by the way.
I always start pen tool with "click and drag" end up with "click click click click click click click click click click click".
