    Never seen this method before, seems somewhat convoluted in my opinion. A better alternative which is similar would be to make a selection of the subject then just convert that selection into a path. You can then move the handles to get a better selection or add/ remove parts of path to improve it further.

    • @fightlikabrave
      @fightlikabrave Год назад

      yea, but the case of defined edges, I think you can use this to make paths faster and you can still adjust the handles etc of the path..

    Really enjoyed this adventure in to the 'dark' nether regions of PS! :-) Just when you foolishly think you've started to figure things out along comes another magic, secret tool. Definitely going to have to practice but your instructional techniques are very effective at answering the 'what-ifs' Thank you. Got frustrate at first as the pen selection would not show up after rebooting PS but found a tip to also go to Edit/Toolbar and Reset to Defaults. Magic presto!

    if its not working go to the "edit" menu at the top of ur screen, at the bottom of the menu you'll see an option that says "toolbar". This menu allows u to hide/move around ools in ur toolbar. content aware tracing may be hidden. drag it to the area u want

    this method is literally a thousand times more difficult than just using the polygonal lasso tool

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  Год назад +1

      Yes, but you cant select rounded shapes with polygon lasso. For the fastest selection, use auto select.
      This method produces print quality edges with paths, which are unmatched in edge definition. If you don't need that quality, use auto select. I have dozens of selection tutorials on my channel.

    • @chasebros4948
      @chasebros4948 Год назад

      Using the polygonal lasso tool is one of the worst ways to select a person or objects with curved edges. The pen tool, although time consuming to use, will give you the cleanest/sharpest edges possible.
