How does the pen in photoshop work?
I've recently started using photoshop. I"m trying to use the pen function to separate the parts of the pic that I want to edit, however its working backwards. Every time I circle the desired area, that area becomes untouchable and the rest of the picture is in edit mode. But every tutorial I find says that its as simple as circling the desired area, none of them mention this happening in reverse
Well, I always use pen tool in every of my works.
But the problem is, I learned it by myself. Nobody thought me how to. I just tried to push alt, control, shift, and other buttons while using it.
But if you're still in need for some tutorials, here, I've got some...

3. http://www.melissaclifton.com/tutorial-pentool.html
4. http://www.photoshopbuddy.net/pentool.html
But remember, don't just stare at those tutorials, try to do it by yourself! It'll enhance your ability in using the pen tool
