@mikecox_ Are you referring to being unable to increase the border of the object mask? You can add or remove specific portions to the object mask by using the "+" or "-" in the program monitor while your object mask is selected.

You can access pen tool by long pressing on the masking item in the tool bar.

Please let us know if you are referring to something else.

    I want to adjust the mask; to unselect the boy at her neck. But I can't select any part of the mask.
     
    know, or knew, how to do it with the Pen took; that no longer works.
     
    The Pen tool used to have a flyout sub-menu, but it no longer does; none of the toolbar Icons has the flyout menus they used to have
     
    That's the problem! the Object Mask tool icon has no sub menu.
     
    What's happened to the flyout sub-menus?
