Use the Path Tool to Edit Selection

You can use the Path tool to edit selection. Create a selection and use the Select > To Path menu item to convert the

selection to path. Use the Path tool to edit path as described below.

To move the control points:

Click on the control point while holding down the Ctrl key, and drag it to the new location or select the Move Pt

function on the Path toolbar to drag and move it.

To move the curve:

Click on the control point while holding down the Alt key, and drag the curve to move it to the new location or select

the Move All function on the Path toolbar to drag and move it.

To delete the control points:

Click on the control point while holding down the Esc key, or select the Delete function on the Path toolbar to delete

it.

To adjust the curve:

All controls points are initially connected by straight lines. You can click on a control point to move it. When you move

a control point, the two control handles for the clicked control point will appear. Click and drag one of the control

handles to adjust the curve. The two control handles and the control point control the degree of curving. When you

move one handle, the other handle will move with it to keep the two handles in a straight line. If you want to move

only one handle and keep the other one staying where it is, you can hold down the Shift key to do so.

To add a control point:

Press the Insert key and click at a point between two control points will add a new control point.

Once it is done, you can double click, right click, or click the first point again to close the curve. Click inside the closed curve

to create a selection.
