    It’s a simple thing but it has been cursing me.

    How can I re-add points into an mask?
    No, I am not talking about re add points IN the mask, what I want to ask is how can I re-add pointss TO the mask after I un-selected it, and it is not closed yet.

    The way I did was, press Command+Z ( Mac ) and it would take out one point and then I was able to add points again.

    Like this:

    The Problem now is that I closed the project, and I need to keep building the mask.

    How can I add new points to it?

    Remeber: Not IN it.

    Not Yet.

    That was not what I meant.

    What I am trying to say is that, I want to keep Building the mask, not adding verticles to it.

    Here, this is what I am working at:

    Mask

    Now when I want to try to keep building it, it ends up by creating a new mask:

    1)click off of the unfished mask with point(anywhere on the comp
    )
    2)click on the beginning of the open mask(with pointer tool)(has filled circle with a same colored ring around it.)
    3) it turns into filled square now select the pen tool (use to create masks, looks like an old quill pen tip)
    4) hover over filled square, you’ll see ur pen tool turn into an arrow.
    click the fill box now and you can continue adding to your mask.
