Tue, 30 May 2006 This week I'll show you how to remove a background using the pen tool. Yes, it's the dreaded pen tool! This tool takes time to master but once you get it, you really GET it! And once you get used to it you'll find yourself using it a lot.
The pen tool is simply a tool to create a path. It operates on the premise of Bezier curves. I won't go into a long explanation of Bezier curves, I'll just show you how they work. I hope you get a better understanding of the pen tool with this tutorial. Like anything, it takes practice to achieve good results. Note: This week's episode is longer than usual, therefore larger in file size. It may take a few minutes to load the video. NEXT WEEK: Using the Channel Mixer to improve an old photograph.
