I predominately use the pen tool to make my selection rather grossly, then fine tune the selection with the ‘add a point’ or subtract a point pen tool with dragging etc. I have not found a way to toggle between the Pen Tool(P) and the add /subtracta point tools.
Its a pain, going back to the menu every time.

Thanks,

Jay

Select the Add a Point and hit Alt to turn it into Subtract a Point.

Actually the "normal" pen is an Add by default if you hit the Path right, and if you are right on a point and hold down Alt it will delete. So there’s two ways with my previous post.
