|
|
I'm a newbie using the pen tool. I outlined a section on a photo (left photo). When I right-clicked to make the selection, the result was not where all the anchors were (right photo). It crisscrossed all over the place. Why is that? See attachments.

Here is the path created with the pen tool and the resultant selection. |

I can't say for certain why you got that result as I didn't see how you drew the path, but it's appears that you may not have all the points connected and that you actually have more than continuous single path.
However I can say for certain that are using WAY TOO MANY points. It isn't necessary to use that many, at least not for the image you posted.
The path that I posted would give you roughly the same result. As you can see it doesn't require anywhere near the number of points that you used.
