Hi all, I'm used to the path tool in illustrator, using it now in photoshop, one thing I can't understand is why the space bar doesn't allow me move the latest anchor point, very frustrating, is there a different shortcut key?
Thanks.

on a mac in cs2 I've always used the apple (cmd) key to do that.

Spacebar? I'm sure that in *both* app's, pressing and holding space lets you drag your view around the canvas.... has done since forever, right?

draw two anchor point in illustrator, with the path tool still selected, hold down the space bar, see how you can actually adjust that very anchor point. I know what you mean with the space bar, when the path tool is active and a an anchor point in use, it over rides the move tool.
Now try it in photoshop.

btw, you need to keep your left mouse button down, when you press the space bar too.

I see the difference, I never used that in illy, I always went back and selected... doesnt seem like it saves any time

its saves loads for me, anyone know if it can be done in photoshop, maybe with another shortcut?

(Sep 26 06, 13:25)OMG, i never used that before, but that will save a LOT of time.
no more going back to move the point, then changing the angle, then moving the point, then chaning the angle.
amazing.

DOESN:T SAVE TIME!!! WHAAAAA
You know you can draw it in illuy and bring it into psd?
And spacebar move saves more time then i know, it is the most commonly used command in photoshop, my thumb is always resting on spacebar.
