Photoshop presents a fairly wide range of tools and the possibility of its multifaceted customization, it allows you to quickly and efficiently perform operations for editing and improving images, to embody the most daring ideas and creative ideas.
Instructions
Step 1
When drawing vector elements or creating complex selections, you will need vector tools skills. Even complex operations take little time when you own them. There are several tools available for working with paths in Photoshop, including the Pen toolkit for drawing and editing paths.
Step 2
Indeed, cutting out an object in Photoshop is required quite often. This is also called clipping, in the process of which one of the elements is separated from the image.
Step 3
There are several methods for clipping in Photoshop, one of which is the Pen Tool. With its help, simple objects with a perfectly even contour are cut out. Use it instead of the usual Lasso Tool (Lasso), and you will get a high quality clipping. Of course, at first, the process of using the Pen Tool (Pen) may seem long and inconvenient, but do not be too lazy to master this tool, and you will not regret it.
Step 4
So, in order to cut, you need to learn how to draw a contour. First select the Pen Tool on the toolbar, then switch the mode to "Contour" and start mastering the pen.
Step 5
It is enough to click at the desired points to draw a polyline. To create smooth lines, you need to start by holding down the mouse button and dragging the line in a certain direction. A point will appear on the screen, from which the line will move in opposite directions, which will be the control one. The contour will be constructed in relation to this line. After clicking elsewhere and drawing the line again, both points will connect, and you will get a smooth outline.
Step 6
In addition to smooth lines, you may need to make a sharp transition. Set a point again, hold down the "Alt" key and set a line at any angle. By connecting the path to the first point, you will close it.
Step 7
To make adjustments to the already finished contour, hold down the "Ctrl" key, in this case the pen takes the form of an arrow. Now you can select the desired points of the contour separately and change the size and direction of the components.
Step 8
Try to click on the path with the right mouse button, and you will see a menu from which you can select "create a selection", "outline the path", "fill the path with color". Now the image that remains inside the selection can be easily copied to a new layer, and then change the background under it using the key combination "Ctrl + J" or successively "Ctrl + C" and "Ctrl + V".
