I've had this post over on the Adobe website for two weeks, but no one has answered, so if anyone in this intelligent, responsive news group can help, please let me know
The following is how the Pen Tool works in Photoshop 4, and what I wish to duplicate in Photoshop CS.
I select the Direct Selection Tool by pressing "p" enough times to cycle through the pen tool options. I hold down CTRL+Alt to get the add/subtract point tool; or I can hold down just the Ctrl key to get the convert point tool. Ctrl+shift allows me to convert a point and constrain the direction in which I can drag the new handles. Releasing these keys returns me to the Direct Selection tool.
My guess is that if I can create any of the key combination plus click shortcuts, I can do them all. I tried on the demo, but could not make the desired changes. Barry in Adobe Sales assures me that I can make the changes I want within the full version, but I
thought I'd ask you folks first. And I am always wary of customer service (not tech support) people who say yes without actually trying (or sometimes comprehending) the thing I wish to accomplish.
If anyone has the time or inclination to follow this up, I will be most grateful.
