Pen Tool Draw lines and shapes

Vector curves (lines and shapes) are easily created using the Pen Tool. The tool has several modes that change the way the curve is drawn.

Photo Persona Pen Tool To draw precise curves with the Pen Tool:
  1. From the Photo Persona, select the Pen Tool.
  2. On the context toolbar, select one of the modes:
    • Pen—tap-drag on the page to create repeated nodes; off-curve control handles at each node defines the shape of the next segment as you lay down nodes.
    • Smart—tap repeatedly on the page to lay down each node; a best fitting curve between nodes is created without the need for control handle adjustment.
    • Polygon—tap repeatedly on the page to lay down each node; a line is created with sharp nodes made up of straight segments.
    • Line—tap and drag on the page to create a simple single-segment straight line.
  3. To complete the curve without closing it, double-tap on the last drawn node. To close the curve, tap on the starting node.
To continue an existing curve:
  1. Tap once on the final node on the path that you want to continue editing.
  2. Continue to place new nodes as needed.
