I once knew how to delete just one adjustment point while masking in CS4. I'm not talking about an anchor point, but an adjustment point (the points you get when you click and drag to shape your mask). I did this all the time, but now I can't remember how. It was a very simple key command/click combo.

I've attached two png's to show what I'm talking about.

I don't want to change the adjustment point into anything else, just delete it. Anyone know this command?

Thanks ahead of time.

I'm watching this because I'd like to know too.

I'm sure in the old versions of the Adobe software (pre CS) a simple Alt-click or something would delete it. Now I don't know how it's done.

Hi simonphotographic,

To delete the handle you've circled in you illustration you'll need to ALT click the point that is attached to the two handles.

Hope that helps

Thanks, Matt, I was just signing on because a friend of mine just told me the same thing today. I knew it was something really simple. I can't believe I forgot it! I'm on a Mac so I'm Option Clicking.
Thanks again...
Frank
