The Basics.

The Pen Tool is probably the most headache-giving tool in all of dear old Photoshop...But fairly now,it's probably the most wonderful one in there too :D

If we would be sure of what we belive in,it would not be faith anymore,it would be knowledge.

um I have a question.
when I close the path, and click outside the the canvas to do the "fill path" and Stroke Path (only these two)" they are grayed out, and I can't click on them. I can follow the rest of the tutorial up till there.
(I use Photoshop 7.0)

Use the Direct Selection Tool to click on the unselected path. Then the selection points will become visible again.

just one question though. On my old photoshop (7.0) i could see a line from the first anchor point to where i was going to set the next point... if i remember correctly, that's a setting, but i can't remember where to change it :/ hope you can help, i've been fighting with this for like 4-5 hours now :(
