Adjust My Pen Tool Path?

Once you have a path in place, you can adjust it using two different arrow tools, both found in the Toolbox, a couple of spots below the Pen tool. The first is called the Path Selection tool (A; its icon looks like a solid black arrow), which is used to pick up and move your entire path (in case you want to move it to a new location) or, if you have more than one path in the same image, it lets you switch between paths. The second tool is the Direct Selection tool (Shift-A; its icon looks like a solid white arrow), and it’s the one you’ll use the most. It lets you click on any point created by the Pen tool and adjust that one point. So, for example, if you traced along an edge with the Pen tool, but part of your path wasn’t snug up against the edge of what you were tracing, you'd click on one of the points and move it up, so the path was flush against the edge. Also, if you created a curved point, you’ll see one to two little levers (handles) coming off that point—those are there to let you adjust the amount of bend on the left or right side of that curved segment (it kind of works like a teeter-totter). To adjust the bend, click on the little dot at the end of either lever and drag up/down to adjust the curve until it fits the edges of the object you’re tracing around. If there’s too much bend, click-and-drag that lever in toward the point in the center. To add more curve, pull the end of that lever out away from the point. So, in short: the solid black arrow moves your entire path; the solid white arrow adjusts individual parts or points along your path.
