    Hey everyone, I’m having a problem that I can’t seem to resolve. Hopefully someone can help.

    I’m trying to create just a simple mask with the pen tool. I select the pen tool from the menu and go to click a point. As soon as I do that, a point appears, but then my curser switches to the Add Vortex Tool (the pen tool with a little + next to it). So if I try to click again, nothing seems to happen.

    Is this a bug? I’ve tried everything I can think of including restarting the computer. I’ve searched and searched and could not find anything. Please help!

    Thank you! I’ll try that next time I run into it.
