The Pen Tool in Photoshop can become your go-to tool every time you need to isolate a portion of an image from its surroundings. Photoshop’s Pen Tool is an excellent way to remove a product from its background or select a portion of a product image to change its color. And you can modify, store, and reuse the paths created with the Pen Tool as often as you want. In this tutorial, we’ll be using the Pen Tool to remove the background and add a new shadow to this image of a sock.
