    What??!! You can press Ctrl and just drag the curve without the handle?! No one else said that! I bow to you Photoshop Sensei.

    Oh my gosh, I can actually understand this!! My brain can make sense of it! Thank you so much; I've seen so many tutorials on the pen tool and read everything about it, and it still didn't make sense to me. This does though. Thank you so much!!

    I have been fighting a losing battle with the dreaded pen tool in Photoshop for longer than I care to remember.
