Another thing that I can do with this tool is that I can break the relationship between the handles. Now that I see the upside-down V, I can click and drag. How I get that tool is simply by pressing and holding the option or alt key. This let's you change corners into curves and curves into corners. In some programs, it's called the Convert Vertex tool. Now, you may have noticed that my tool changed shape to an upside-down V. Depending on which way I drag, I'm going to get a curve that goes one way or the other way. Now remember, I have a corner, but I would like a curve. For you to see this better, I am going to maximize this screen simply by placing the mouse cursor on top of the panel and pressing tilde key. But what happens if you make a mistake? So let's say I start with corners, and I have four corners, and now I realize that instead of a corner, I want a curve, say on this one here. This closes the shape, and now I have a custom mask. I'm going to single-click on the other corner, and now I'm going to close the shape by clicking exactly in the same place where I started. I do need a curve on the top, so I'm going to click and drag until this curve matches the shape. I don't need a curve here on this side, so I'm just gonna click. Let's go ahead and create a mask that is going to be half an oval for this hotel name. So if you don't have any handles, you will not be able to have curves. The originating point, the ending point, and the handle that controls the curve. You see, this works under the principle that every single curve is comprised by three points. But if you click and drag, you're creating curves. So, if you just click with a Pen tool, and then click again, and then click, you create corners. However, if instead of just clicking, I click and drag, I create not just a point, but the handles that let me have curves. If I just click, and then click, and then click, click, and then close it by clicking in the same place where I had the very first point, I actually close the mask like so. The Pen tool, which is what we're going to use for drawing this mask, works by adding points and handles to what we need. So I'm gonna go ahead and delete that mask, and I'm going to add a new mask using the free draw bezier. However, that's not going to work so well for blurring this. And I could blur just him by using the Elliptical tool. So for the man, I'm going to go ahead and select the clip and add a Fast Blur effect. We're going to blur both the man walking and the name of the hotel. ![]() In here, you can see a shot of a man walking and then the name of a hotel.
