PhotoShop tool

The tool that I decided to look up was the pen tool. I don't think that we have used it yet in this class, but I am also in a communication class that I am also using photoshop in, and recently we have been using and learning about this tool a lot. It can be a tricky tool when you have to use the alt and shift, but once you get the hang of it, it can be very beneficial. I have used it in my class to cut out objects out of all shapes; but it can be very useful when you want to use the least amount lines- it is very accurate. When cutting around edges and corners it can be useful because you can easily contour the line to be angled around tight edges.

The above website and youtube video does a great job of explaining how to use the pen tool best.

The above picture is one that I made in class where I used the pen tool to cut out the duck and put it behind the tub.
