Adobe Photoshop/Opening a closed path?

Advertisement


Question
I've drawn a very complex path around a product and the client realized they left 3 parts off the product. Is there any way to open the path to add to it?

Answer
Yes, you can use the Path Tool to edit, add, delete, move, (etc.) the different anchor points of the path. I cover it in detail in my Photoshop 203 tutorial:

P.P.S. I volunteer my time at AllExperts to help people, and I get a LOT of questions, so I can't take an hour to answer each question. If you need more DETAILED HELP, come to my TechHelp web site at http://www.599cd.com/TechHelp/AllExperts and I'll take as much time as you need to answer your question.

Are you out of work and looking for a new job (or know someone who is), but find that everyone who is hiring is looking for someone with computer skills? You're not alone. It's hard to find a job without knowing how to use a computer.

In today's offices, you need to understand how to use Microsoft Windows, write a document in Microsoft Word, or even work with spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel. Unfortunately, classroom-based computer training can be expensive - sometimes hundreds of dollars a day. If you're out of work, it's hard to afford!

I want to do my part to help people in this tough economy. I have put together a special training CD that includes over six hours of video tutorials that I'm giving away absolutely FREE to anyone who's currently out of work and looking for a job. If this describes you, click here:

Expertise

I can answer any and all questions regarding Adobe Photoshop. If you need help with layers, masks, channels, paths, fixing photos, drawing by hand, or even filters, feel free to ask me.

Experience

I have been teaching Photoshop in the classroom and online for almost a decade. I currently teach online at http://www.PhotoshopLearningZone.com

Education/Credentials
I am completely self-taught with Photoshop - which I believe is the best way to learn. A good book, tutorials, and experts (such as those here at AllExperts) to ask question of is the best way to understand a subject. I have been an Expert here at AllExperts in several other catgeories (MS Word, Excel, Windows, etc.) for a long time.
