pen tool
I am new to PhotoShopCS.
what I want to do is take an image that has 3 people in it. cut out 1 person and put that person on a separate layer. I tried using the pen tool but whatever I cutout turns black. How can I get the image of that person on the new layer. Thanks in advance. -

You might have the “Shape Layer” button selected in the options bar for the pen tool…so it is filling the path w/ your foreground color. If so, click on the “Paths” button in the options bar…now when you trace your image w/ the pen tool, the path will appear in the Paths Palette…double-click it and rename it to save it…you can make this path into a selection and cut and paste your image within this selection to a new layer or mask out the background outside this selection.
