I love to use the pen tool, but had no idea that this level of accuracy could be achieved on curves. Excellent presentation and well presented. Thank you.
Thanks SO much for this Aaron, i've tried many tutorials and have never managed to get to grips with the pen tool. It's true, under 8 minutes and I have it nailed!
Ive used Photoshop for a number of years, but usually avoid the pen tool as all the previous tutorials and books don't really give a clear instruction. Just in the space of this short tutorial , I now fully grasp the pen tool and it will now be my go-to for complex selections. Great work, thank you.
I've been using Photoshop for nearly 14 years and I've *never* been able to get my head around the pen tool; it has always frustrated me immensely when it wanted to curve and I didn't want it to! In 8 minutes you've finally helped me conquer it where no other tutorial ever has! Thank you SO much!! :D :D
Man... I have been trying to figure out the pen tool in Photoshop for like 20 years. I didn't fully get it and learn how to use it properly until this video. Thank you so much. You definitely won a new fan.
Thank you. Years of picking the pen tool up, only to be frustrated and putting it down again was swept aside with your 8 minute lesson and sample image, I have now mastered the art of the pen tool.
Dude, i have struggled with the pen tool for years, i would stare at it and think oh no, then go back to the eraser tool. I watched loads of tutorials but none explained it better then yours. I was immediately able to cut out some very complex shapes. I can not thank you enough. Cheers!
One of my top 5 photoshop resources on youtube (since im broke :D), been learning photoshop for the past month or so and i´ve learned sooo freaking much from you, keep those coming, cheers.
Lovely video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Riddleagan Made Masterpiece Remedy (do a search on google)? It is a great exclusive guide for learning professional photo editing minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.
Awesome tutorial! I always have been struggling with the pen tool and ended up using inaccurate alternatives like the lasso and quick selection tool...I can finally use the pen tool with ease and precision! Thank you!
With your wonderful energy, experience and practical methods, you are unrivaled. I follow you for years. Thank you for sharing PS wonders for free. I appreciate!
I just stumbled onto this tutorial after suffering through several others on the pen tool. I wish I'd found yours first! You made this skill relatively easy to learn in a very short period of time. Providing the bird download was inspired as it let me work along with you. Thanks!
wow, you made understanding the pen tool sooo easy!! I'm getting into photoshop at the moment and this tutorial was perfect for an absolute beginner like me - thank you!
I really like your videos, I've done this exercise twice and your explanation of how a simple and complex curve works with the pen tool simplifies the process for alot for me. I've subrscribed to phlearn, and am really digging it. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! In 8 minutes I learned what I couldn’t in 4 years studying Industrial design (-.- yeah my university sucks! 😒) You are a great teacher! You videos are awesome, easy to digest and fun, I used to hate photoshop now I’m in love .... 😊😊
Thanks for the insight, it seems there's many that explain how to do it however not everyone can break it down to a science like the way you did excellent instructions thanks for the help!
This is a really great channel. There have been too many incidents where TH-cam prioritizes content that does not give back to the community. Your channel should have way more subscribers, Aaron. The fact that you give people free and in depth tutorials and get recognition for it is a really good thing. This is what TH-cam needs more of, people who give back and are ready to help. Thanks Aaron!!! Btw I’m brand new to the channel and have already watch a lot of videos! Great personality
I cannot thank you enough for this short and extremely helpful video, you were the only people who taught me how to mask and actually make it clear, simple and doable. Thank you guys so much it means the world
Omg! This tutorial amazing! Hey Aaron, thank you for this video. I learned a lot of things from you. Keep going tutorial and we will continue to learn ☺
Lol i learned a lot from this. Undoubtedly, there's a lot of good tutorials out there. But this one right here is exceptional and straight to the point. Also, the witty sense of humor is a big plus! Thanks and keep it up!
Great and simple tutorial, Ive been strugglin with paths for years and this improved my skills so quickly, thank you for your nice and talented way of teaching your wisdom to the world :)
