How to reposition a pen anchor point and show anchor points?

Question

Hey guys,I am using windows.This got me stumped in Photoshop.  1st question: ANSWEREDWhat is the shortcut to reposition a pen anchor point?In Illustrator, lets say you make a square with the pen tool  - you can hold down CTRL and left click one anchor point and move that ONE anchor point to whatever location. But in photoshop holding down the CTRL and left click moves ALL anchor points. 2nd question: ANSWEREDLets say I make a shape with the pen tool and then I go to another layer to edit but go back to my pen tool shape layer and select the pen tool again, the anchor points doesn't show anymore, it's now a shape. But in Illustrator, if I go back to that pen tool layer, the anchor points show every time I click that layer.It's quite fustrating.

Ok I figured it out. 1st questionIn photoshop, you need to hold down CTRL to select or deselect the anchor points then hold down CTRL to move that one/two/three anchor points. 2nd questionSince if you select another layer then the pen shape layer, the anchor points don't show. In order for me to get the anchor points to show, you need to hold down SHIFT+CTRL and create a selection box around the shape/path for the anchor points to show.Alot of testing but I got there
