The PEN TOOL: All the information you need!

I've collected some links for those who still have a hard time using the pen tool.

All these links will also be added to the first thread (called "Sticky: 214 links: Photoshop/Photography/Drawing/etc...") in the Links forum ( http://www.photoshopgurus.info/forum...pic.php?t=1232 ).
