    I'm not sure why nobody else's adobe photoshop pen tool tutorials cover this. this really helped me out.
    just in general, when i had a shape connected, like the outline of a horse, but wanted to break the path/line at the tail to add hair, upon using the delete node pen tool, the path would always stay connected and the overall shape of the horse would morph. from this, i learned that to BREAK a hole in my outline, i need to use the direct select tool, make sure only one specific node is highlighted, and hit the delete key on my keyboard. whew! i could not find this information for the longest time. thank you!

    how do you cut a slice of a path shape? like in Illustrator there's a tool for cutting a path line, but on photoshop i guess it's not available. also, how do you start drawing a new path shape remain in that same layer (without ps creating a new layer for it?)

    Add an anchor point and delete it... thank you. It was driving me insane trying to figure out how to delete a segment without deleting the entire shape. Everything else I've seen just use the direct select tool and hit delete but that doesn't work. Your method on the other hand is quite lovely.

  • @bobcharles2093
    @bobcharles2093 4 роки тому

    very useful and well spoken, what version of pshop is this though, need to say,as you are accessing premade paths but where are they in CS6 ? However two adverts appear over the last part I wanted to view and are not removeable, no x to click on, rerun it and they appear again.

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  4 роки тому

      Sorry about that. I moved the ads so you can see the end of the video better. I hope this helps? I am using pre-made paths which are shipped with Photoshop. In CS6 just select the Custom Shape tool and then the shape from the dropdown list on the control bar at the top of the screen. I hope this helps?

  • @nmarks
    @nmarks 8 років тому

    OK, so how would you use the pen tool to draw the outline of shape THEN draw a line across it, and join them together?
    By the way which version of PS are you using? I am using Photoshop CS6.

    I don't see the need of adding anchor points before deleting a segment. You can just select the segment with direct selection tool. Only the selected segment will be deleted. I use CS6, but I think it has been this way for many revisions.

    you do not cover what is in the title... i have to circles that do not connect on the inside and th outside i want them to be the same path so i can connect them with vertices

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  Рік тому

      You can make two circles on the same path by making each circle as a path then copy and paste one into the other. I don't understand what you mean by connecting them with vertices though?

    It's just doesn't work! :(
    I have a closed path with 8 anchor points.
    I've selected 3 anchor points with Direct Selection Tool.
    I've pressed a delete key and... the whole path disapears :/

      I bet even creators of Photoshop doesn't know that this bug exists.

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  4 роки тому

      Oh Yeah! I would have had trouble reproducing that issue because I would be unlikely to have selected more than one layer but I can totally see how that might happen. I'll look into actually making a video for that problem/solution.
      Thank you sooooooooooooo much for taking the time to swing back with the information - I so appreciate it and so will the next person who encounters this issue :)

    • @HatchosShapes
      @HatchosShapes Рік тому +1

      I figured it out, you go into the 'convert point tool' and add the tangents or handles or whatever they are called and then delete the points. I think it wouldn't let me delete the line segment because I drew it with the curve line tool.

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  Рік тому +1
