Hello viewers! I am Rakib. In this lesson, I will show you the use of Pen tool. As I said before, if you choose some other tools and try to make selections then There will be some cases, when you will not be able to get the result you want. In those cases, Pen tool will be your solution. Using the pen tool, first we will create the path and Then we will make the selection using those paths. To create path, we can start from anywhere. With the pen tool we will click here for once and that's our start point and If it was a straight line, then we could click once like this to make straight lines But as it's a curve, then we will click here and hold it and then We can drag any direction you want. If we want the curve on the left, Then we will drag right like this, If you drag it left that will create the curve on the right, if you drag it up, then it will create the path downside and vice versa. So in this case, we will drag it up-right like this to create this curve and then we will release it and hold alt from our keyboard and click here for once that will break it to half and then we are good to go. So when clipping path, always try to cover the highest possible area that you can. Like I will start another point here. If you try from these other points, then you can do this, but always you have to try to reduce the number of anchor points to make the paths smooth and crisp. Let's click here and drag it like this to make the curve and when you want to make a straight line you will just click like this and then again when there is a curve you will make the curve dragging it. If you are clipping paths for the first time using the Pen tool, then you will need to practice a lot and it will be handy. Pen tool is very necessary even if you are doing your personal work or if you are interested in freelancing job, then there are a lot of jobs where just need to use this Pen tool for clipping paths and erasing backgrounds. So when it's done, we will click in the Pen tool again to close it. When it's done, our first task will be to save this path in the image. To save it, we will go to File, Save as. Always save paths in JPEG or PSD formats, file formats. Not all file formats can contain paths like PNG file formats can't contain paths. In here, we will choose JPEG and click Save, let's replace it, Okay, and if you close this file and You will see nothing here, but if we insert the file in the Photoshop again then we will be able to see the path here and If you can't see it for any reason, then you will go to: Paths Palette, that will be here. If you click outside, that will deselect and you can also select it by clicking here. Now, if we want we can make selection using this Path. If we press ctrl Enter from our keyboard that will make the selection using that path and then we can make a copy and create a new layer. Let's select a color for it and now you can see how sharp the edges are. In this way, you can draw the path and make selections and Pen tool can be used for other purposes like currently it is selected as path. That's why we can create paths. If you select it as shape, then you can create shapes using the Pen tool so Whenever we want to create paths, we will always make sure this one is selected as path. So that's it for this lesson. In the next lesson, we'll work with this path and you will see how we can modify or use them for some other purposes. So hope to see you guys in the next lesson. Thanks for watching.
