Path selection tool in Photoshop is used to select and move Paths.Paths can be created with the Pen Tool. Once you've created a path, you can select and move it with the Path Selection tool. Located in the Tools panel, it looks like a plain black mouse pointer.
First, open your current Photoshop project, and choose the Path Selection tool from the Tools panel (or press the A key). Then find the "Select" setting in the top options panel, and make sure it's set to "All Layers". This will allow you to select any path in the project, even if it's not currently active.
Click anywhere inside the document with the Pen Tool, then drag a short distance away from the anchor point.You’ll see an anchor point with lines extending out from it.It looks like we have three anchor points, one on either end and one in the middle, with two path segments connecting them. If we look a bit closer though, we can see that the points on either end are a bit smaller than the one in the middle, and that they're actually a different shape. The one in the middle is square, and as we've seen, an anchor point is square, but the ones on either end seem to be diamond-shaped.
So what exactly are those lines then that are extending out from the anchor point? They're direction handles! Direction handles are used only when creating curved path segments. There's no need for direction handles when creating straight path segments. There's usually two of them, although sometimes there's only one, and as we've already seen, they extend out from anchor points. You will understand better with shown example in video.
