Hey I'm not sure if you will reply to this, but I've been having problems with my pen tool.

I do everything right but when I right clink to stroke the path I can't click on it, I can only make it a selection.

is there something i need to do to be able to do to make the pen tool stroke the path?

@FreezingNightmare I think you have the wrong type of Pen tool once you select the pen tool, at the top of the program you can see File then Edit etc... Just unner that should be a new section with some options for the Pen Tool, yours may be on the first option (Shape) or the 2nd (Path) i used Path in the video path allows you to create a selection and then right click that static selection and choose to fill it with a colour etc... hope thats helps.

Heyo, thanks so much this helped me a lot. Was going bloody crazy as I did have the shape instead of the path selected.

@itouchedabee its a very common mistake xD, glad it helped.

@yuk... Are you using a PC? I suspect the lesson is made on a mac... Maybe.

@HiroKun10 I press Alt, but I get a plus sign, instead of a " < mouse sign". Do I have to change the shortcut keys?

[cgisby]

Oh my God, I feel like such a dick now XD

I didn't realise that's how you used it, I just used the pen, then clicked the paint brush thing and went round it, this has made things so much easier XD

THANK YOU :D
