Cannot move or modify a mask in Classic 13.3

Hi, it has been days since I cannot move or modify a mask after creating it in Lightroom CC. When I create a mask, there is no lines to modify it (to modify the feather of a radial mask for example) and I have no "point" to move, extend or rotate it. This is really frustrating, can someone help me with it? Thanks

Correct answer Conrad_C

If you don’t see the on-image mask controls, their visibility is controlled by the tool overlay settings. These appear in two places: The Tools > Tool Overlay submenu, and the Show Edit Pins menu in the toolbar (when the toolbar is visible).

 

The H key shortcut tip that Ian provided is a popular single-key shortcut for toggling between Auto and Never on those menus (the shortcut is listed by the command Tools > Tool Overlay > Never Show).

 

If it changed and you don’t remember doing anything, what might have happened is that the H key got hit by mistake at some point.

Have you tried tapping on the 'H' key to unhide the pins and guides?
