The Pen Tool

[thomasw14744956]

When is Adobe going to add the Curvature Pen Tool to the selection under PEn Tool in Photoshop Beta . I have to use the regular PS to use that tool because they haven't added it to the Beta version yet . I check after every Beta update , but it's still not there yet .

I haven't looked for it before, but it is definitely there now

It all comes down to how much screen space you have.  I use three large screen so I can have all useful panels available leaving me nearly all of the main screen for the document window.  You can  see that I don't use quite a lot of tools, and of the ones I do use, a lot have had their shortcut removed.  I want to know that the V key will give me the Move tool, and never the Art Board tool for instance.  I also have Shift disabled in Preferencxes for toggling between tools with the same shortcut.  I have been able to workout why a person would use two keys when one is enough,

What makes this so powerful is that we can save custom Toolbars, keyboard shortcuts and menus  with custom workspaces.  This is incredibly useful because it lets you repurpose shortcuts according to context. 

I have three of the Function keys set to trigger simple actions that set and reset my most used workspaces, so when I drag panels to make screenshots for forum answers, I just hit one key and everything is tidy,
