826 Chapter 12 Using Shapes and Masks
• Press Return to finish an open shape at the last point you made.
• Double-click anywhere in the Canvas to define the last point of an open shape,
creating a line with a default width of two pixels.
Note: You can press Esc at any time while drawing a shape to cancel the entire
operation and delete the shape.
How to Edit Shapes
There are two ways to edit shapes. You can edit them in their entirety like any other
object using the Transform, Pivot, and Shear Canvas modes, or you can adjust them
point-by-point using the Adjust Control Points tool. The shape-editing techniques in
this section apply to both shapes and masks.
You perform most of your detailed editing using a shape’s individual control points. The
Transform, Pivot, and Shear transform modes are better for overall transformations of
an entire shape.
