blend the outline.

If you want to make adjustments to the shape of a region inside a Photo Group then just
switch back to a mask or region tool and make your changes ensuring that the region or
mask is selected (shown with marching ants outline). Again, even while in the
Region/Mask tools, you can select regions inside a Photo Group using Ctrl+click.

If you want to be able to work on selected regions inside a Photo Group without
seeing the marching ants outlines, you can temporarily turn off the outlines
using the button on the InfoBar of the region and mask tools.

The outlines are turned on again as soon as you clear the selection or move to a different
photo or document.

Resizing color points

Selected color points are shown in red and have resize handles shown around them.

Color points with resize handles

Drag on the resize handles to change the size of the color point. This is useful if you
need to be very accurate with your selection and you find that it’s difficult to place a color
point over just the color that you want to select. Make the point smaller to make this
easier.
