Hi people,
I am tracing around an image using the Path tool and I seem to have problem:

Basically I am used to using Illustrator to carry out such a task but wanted to try something quick in Photoshop alone, the problem is that can’t get to grips with the basics of controling the pen tool i Photoshop, I mean in Illustrator I use the Space Bar a lot when usin the pen tool to reposition the strokes … Does anyone know how I ca recreate this in Photoshop, also are there any other shortcuts i Photoshop when using the Pen tool (that are different to Illustrator).

thanks….

Also I have the setting as follows in the General Preferances Tab: Use shift key for tool switch (deselected)
How come I can’t cycle through the other Pen tools with the P key, onl the first 2 i.e. Pen tool & Freeform Pen tool

Photoshop does have different key combinations for the pen tool, and some of the modes are not available as explicit flyouts. Experiment with alt, ctrl and shift..
