When we finish the selection press right click on mouse and “Make Selection” then create layer mask..The simplest path you can draw with the standard Pen tool is a straight line, made by clicking the Pen tool to create two anchor points. By continuing to click, you create a path made of straight line segments connected by corner points.
  • Select the Pen tool.
  • Position the Pen tool where you want the straight segment to begin, and click to define the first anchor point (do not drag).
  • Click again where you want the segment to end
  • Continue clicking to set anchor points for additional straight segments.
  • The last anchor point you add always appears as a solid square, indicating that it is selected. Previously defined anchor points become hollow, and deselected, as you add more anchor points
  • Complete the path by doing one of the following:
  • To close the path, position the Pen tool over the first (hollow) anchor point. A small circle appears next to the Pen tool pointerwhen it is positioned correctly. Click or drag to close the path.
  • To leave the path open, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) anywhere away from all objects. To leave the path open, you can also select a different tool.

    Applying human thought/morals to a shark biting a human while swimming in the ocean as trespassing. I guess we can go further and ask the shark why it bit the human if the human is just harmlessly swimming. It’s not like the shark owns that part of the ocean since the shark didn’t pay/purchase it. Who’s to say the shark wasn’t the one trespassing on another fish’s property?

      The Diver picture requires creating an account on the Pixabay website. But you can find alternatives that don’t require an account here: https://pixabay.com/images/search/diver/
