In a previous article, I posted on the benefits of using the pen tool in Photoshop to create quality cutouts of people or object on a complex background.

With there being many different ways in Photoshop to achieve this effect, I personally have found that using the pen tool is the best tool to use in this situation. You can refer to that blog post here.

Expanding on that post, here, I’ve created a video tutorial on using Photoshop’s pen tool for making precise, quality cutouts of shape and images on various backgrounds.

Although, you may have your own preferred method for making cutouts in Photoshop, this method I have found to be the best at creating high quality cutouts for use on other projects or design.

Thank you and I hope this tutorial video on Photoshop’s pen tool is helpful and informative.

So the 4th of July is tomorrow and I’m going to our annual bbq at Patrick’s parents house. I wanted to do a fun little design for it this year. I’m still recovering from my broken leg so I have plenty of time to do fun stuff like a bbq flyer. Every year Patrick’s mom does pulled pork and we shoot each other with fireworks. It’s a blast. No reindeer games for me this year tho. I’ll watch everything from a safe distance this time. I wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July. Happy Birthday, America!
