I have come to grips with some of the basics of the pen tool (thanks to a couple of fantastic tutorials recommended at RTP.) I am stuck though on one thing - how to make a path with the pen tool, and then subtract an area from within the first path I've created. eg how to extract a smaller circle path from within a larger circle path.
Currently I do the outside with the pen tool, convert it to a selection, and then do a plain minus selection to subtract an area from the inside. The result is therefore a smooth selection on the outside, and a jaggardy one on the inside.
Help would be much appreciated.
