    [..YouTube..] Thank you very much. Very well done. Question. If I notice later that one of my anchor points is off, can I somehow “push” it into place? For example, if I’ve just spend 15 minutes working around an object and then see when I’m done that one part is not exactly touching where I wanted it too – can I take that anchor point and move it?

    [..YouTube..] I would like to see your answer to Empowermentvisio’s question about moving the cursor “without having the lasso tool following you all over hell and back?” This is my biggest frustration when using the magnetic lasso feature. Thanx!

    [..YouTube..] Very helpful, thanks. Always been a frustrating tool to use for me.

  24. [..YouTube..] Hey there Redhead, got a question for you!What if you have a large image and want to lasso a very specific area and need to have it zoomed in? Then you have to move the image to another part so you can work on THAT part. How do you do that, without having the lasso tool following you all over hell and back? Thanks for your video: hugely helpful!
