Help with Photoshop Pen Tool!

Hello all, I was using photoshop at my school's lab, and I have a bit of problem with the pen tool. You see, I usually use the pen tool only in illustrator, so I don't know whether some of the pen features are available in photoshop.

So, here goes. Take a look at the pic. Its a simple bezier curve. In illustrator, I can click on the point to change it so that the point has only one handle. But in photoshop, it seems impossible. Any tips to solve this? Or is it a buggy photoshop that's the problem?

P.S. Heh I was using Windows in school 'cause my school lab has only ONE Mac lol.

a little tut could solve your problem.

I know how you feel about the pen tool in Photoshop, I couldn't get use to it myself. I instantly opened Illustrator after a few clicks with the pen tool.

Thanks a lot for that tut! I didn't know that I had to hold a key to convert the points. Really useful tut, thanks again for recommending!
