P: Please let us change the Pen tool path size and color

I use Photoshop almost every day and not having control over the color of the pen tool path is a source of constant frustration. I'm slowed down because so often they grey color become invisible over the color of the thing I'm traciing.

With every new version that comes out, this is the thing I most hope they've fixed and I'm always, always, always disappointed.

Please Adobe, the sooner the better.

I can't believe why they don't give you choice to change the path color in PS. So close to be the perfect software. What a pity.

I came looking for a way to change the path color also. I take product pictures and sometimes it's very difficult to see where the path line is in order to adjust a curve especially. Seems it would be a simple thing to be able to choose the (path) pen tool, right click (as it brush, clone or many other tools) and instead of a size or shape option, choose a different color. Problem solved.

Clarification; picking each branch is difficult so a tool that could approximate a branch with some settings for width, curve, node shapes or whatever and that you could drag out multiple branches before creating the selection is what I mean. I guess this could also be a 'loop pen' tool.

I am sure this is not a new idea and may have been requested in the past and it has to do with the Pen Tool. I have been using Photoshop for years and currently and using CS6 Extended and just love the program and the only gripe, if you will, I have is with the line/path that the Pen Tool creates when used. It has become increasingly difficult to see this line/path as it has become so very fine and almost blends in with the colors I am trying to work around. I would love to see the ability to either change the color of the line/path being created or the ability to increase the size of the line/path. The size of the Pen Tool cursor is and never has been an issue but the line/path is. On the newer high resolution screens, such as the Retina Displays, this problem seems to be even more pronounced. Do not know how difficult it would be to make something like this happen but I would really like to see you folks at Adobe look into it and I am sure that many others besides myself would be extremely happy. Thanks

I like the cut of your Jib Suzette!

I use the pen tool a lot and this is a great feature request!

I can't believe there was so little improvement on the Pen tool and Paths panel with the JDI initiative in CS6. It has been almost a decade since I have seen any change with the Pen tool. I have been asking for Path improvements with every Beta testing session.

I have figured out dozens of work arounds but it is frustrating and time consuming. For example, i have been making Vector masks so i can see what i am doing, and so i can organize all my paths into folders, and transform them together, etc...

I should be able to do that stuff in the Paths Panel.

Additionally, when you have so many paths that you can't expand your paths panel anymore, and you click on a path, it is very hard to de-activiate it (there is nowhere to click off the path).

Please please please Adobe... realize that nearly every professional retoucher (especially car retouchers) will create a path before using some of the selections tools. The pen tool needs to grow up!
