Hi, When I've placed the last node before the starting node in a magnetic lasso selection, I move the crosshair to hover over the first point—expecting some sort of color-change that indicates that the selection is closed—but I get nothing, If I just pull the cross-hair off, it sets another point. If I click on the initial point, the selection disappears and can't be command-z'd or reselected—just gone! So, 1) How do I close the magnetic lasso selection and regain use of the cursor w/o setting more points with every move? 2) Can I edit point placement by clicking and dragging selection nodes after closing the selection? 2a) Can the nodes be "nudged" with finer control than possible with the mouse? How? I've experimented and can't figure it out. "Help" file is no help. Thanks, lettergothic

Hi! I’m in the pixel persona. I want to select an area of the layer I’m working on and delete it. I choose the Free hand Selection Tool. I draw the shape of the area I want to delete. Now I want to close the shape. At this point I have two options: a) I hover over the starting point of the shape I’m drawing. The info-bar at the bottom of the screen says ‘Click to add closed selection’. I click. Result: The shape I’m drawing disappears. b) I hover outside the starting point of the shape I’m drawing. The info-bar at the bottom of the screen says ‘Double-Click to close the selection’. I double-click. Result: The shape I’m drawing disappears. Question: How do I close a shape drawn by the Free hand Selection Tool? And, ultimately, how do I manually select and delete an area of a pixel layer? See screencast for a demonstration. how to close selection?.mov
