I am trying to use Photohop's Pen tool to make a clean outline out of a sketch I made. I click and drag to create a curve, then release the mouse. Then I go to make my next point in the path... but I notice that this new point is affected by the curvature of the previous point. I want the new point to be rigid by default. This is what I mean:


Make a point
Make a second point, drag to make it a curve with the first point
Make a third point




See, the third point has a curve even though I didn't drag it. This is what I want it to look like:



Right now, I have to manually change the endpoint curve in the second point to be able to get a straight line between the second and third points. This is time consuming.

How can I make it so all new Pen points will be straight by default regardless of the previous point in the path?
