With All Of The Photoshopping I've Done My Entire Life I've Never...
 

Used the pen tool until today and man, am I ever loving it!

That little thing comes in handy! Not sure why but I have never used the pen tool or learned how to use the pen tool. I got into it today trying to turn a photograph into vector and it rocks! :thumbsup

Just thought I'd share. :thumbsup

lol - you learn about masks yet? Now that comes in handy!

you should buy one of those "Teach Yourself Photoshop 7 in 24 hours" books (by SAMS)

its actually 24-one hour lessons, and it shows you how to use all the tools and some tricks & tips.

i know i didnt fuck around with a few tools till i bought myself that book lol

Congrats, you are head of me in photoshop. Thats for sure. :thumbsup

I just really never had the need for it. If you know Photoshop then you know that any effect you get from the pen tool can be accomplished with the combination of other tools. However, the pen tool makes it SOOOOO much easier! :thumbsup

upgrade to the illustrator pen!

I was loving it when I larned that also lol
