Drawing Masks and Shapes Using B-Splines
This section describes how to draw a B-Spline shape. These methods are identical whether
you’re using the shape or masking tools, but this section focuses on drawing shapes. For
more information on drawing masks, see Using Masks to Create Transparency.
To draw a B-Spline shape

Note: If the Bezier tool is selected, pressing B once selects the B-Spline tool. If another
tool is selected, such as the Text tool, press B twice to select the B-Spline tool. The B-Spline
Mask tool is located in the mask pop-up menu in the toolbar.
