This tutorial gives just a quick basis and overview of the pen tool and will hopefully give you enough understanding that you’ll be willing to delve in and start practicing yourself.  The pen tool definitely needs practice, but once you get a handle on it, you’ll find that it’s a very easy and effective tool to use in your Photoshop arsenal.

And on a quick note, I’ve still got some practicing to do when it comes to creating and producing tutorial videos.  Hopefully it’s not too apparent, but I’ll get better.  Enjoy.

Color correction, like many other things in Photoshop, is something that can be accomplished in different ways.  This way isn’t the only way, it isn’t necessarily the best way, and it’s only ever just a way to get you close.  If you’re working on your own images, then you’ll have to rely on your memory to know what the colors should look like or how you’d like them to look.

The one thing you should definitely have, though, before you start trying to correct the color of your images is a properly calibrated monitor. Hope this helps you.  And if it does, then be sure to Digg it!!

NOTE: I make reference in the video to the K in CMYK standing for Kelvin.  This is incorrect.  K actually stands for the color black.
