Pen Tool in Photoshop – Converting Points

We continue to progress through the tricks and details of using the Pen Tool in Photoshop, and today we look at ways of converting anchor points from corners, to smooth curves, to cusp points and back. This final skill, combined with what we’ve learned in the previous videos, will give you everything you need to manage creating and editing of virtually any complex path in any image.

If you haven’t already viewed the previous videos in this series, I recommend watching them first to bring you up to speed with our current progress:

1. Pen Tool in Photoshop – Path Fundamentals
2. Pen Tool in Photoshop – Straight Paths
3. Pen Tool in Photoshop – Adding Paths and Anchor Points
4. Pen Too in Photoshop – Smooth Curves
5. Pen Tool in Photoshop – Cusp Points

Next week, we’ll wrap up this series with a start-to-finish project using a complex subject, creating multiple paths for selections. I do hope you’ll stick around!
