On the left at the top are three icons: the first is a square, and when you hover, it says Shape Layers. The second has a pen nib in the center and is Paths. Make sure the icon for Paths is selected. If that didn't help, you'll have to post a screenshot so I can take a look ;) With the pen tool selected, look at the toolbar at the top.

This tutorial helped me come to basic grips with the pen tool. Thanks Chire-san. This tutorial is a life saver for noobs like yours truly. Cheers!

If you plan on doing any extensive redrawing of lines, then the Pen Tool is a must. If you're just doing some basic black inking, speck checking, and simple clone redraws, then you don't need the pen at all. I'm not sure what features are available in Elements and which aren't, but you could probably poke around GIMP (free image editing software) for the few things that Elements might not have. Good luck! It largely depends on what you want to clean, how well you want to clean it, and the quality of the raws.

Photoshop can be intimidating when you don't know where to start, but it really helps having a goal (like cleaning manga)! LOL glad you’re having fun!

I was wondering if the pen and pencil tool are the same, and found out that they are not. I also found out where the pencil is. I'm so noob. lol. But, I'm having fun learning. So, thanks again. :) I am really glad i checked out your site and went through the tutorials. I was wondering if the pen and pencil tool are the same, and found out that they are not.

I was trying to do the level 1 in the Maximum7 Cleaning Academy. I got stuck in the border tutorial (as part of level 1). I can't find the pencil tool, but I found the pen and I have absolutely no idea how to use it. Glad I ventured here in your site and found this photoshop tutorial. This training for cleaning is my first time to actually use photoshop. (When I use it, I always go to filters, the only option that makes sense to me - before.) You are a lifesaver.

Long time ago I really hate Pen Tool because of its difficulty but now it was very easy to get hang with. I can make curves with no effort at all. Without you chire maybe I doesn't know how to use Pen Tool forever. 2 thumbs up for you. ;) Thanks for the tutorial.
