Aside from the usual plethora of features,Photoshopoffers tools for anyone ranging from budding photographer to astrononomer.
Throughout the years, I’ve known Photoshop to be ultra powerful in the pathing arena.
First, the base shadow and the shadow reflection on the actual oranges.
We will be removing the base shadow and leaving the shadow reflection on the orange for now.
Secondly, let’s choose our pen tool (
).
In this case, it’s on top.
Click once there as shown to create your first anchor point.
Next, follow (with your eyes) along to the right around the circumference of the orange.
Don’t be afraid to take the tool outside of the white work area.
it’s possible for you to now release the mouse button.
Drag this handle point into the origin of the anchor point as shown and release.
You’ve just created your first path line!
Bezier Curve
Note: The Bezier tool is only capable of creating partial circles with each pair of path points.
Continue these 3 steps while following snugly around the oranges.
confirm not to spread your anchor points too thinly.
Once you follow around the oranges, taking care to exclude the base shadow from your path as shown.
You now have a completed path.
Thanks for reading folks.
