ok here is a link to a video i've made, <http://www.abstract-forms.com/Mask_video_1.mov> I don't have a mic but as you can see I cannot select outside of the mask with the direct selection marquee tool. The video also shows that yes I can select by hitting the points indvidillualy but this is not practical for complex linework and the marquee is preferable. It also shows that I can use the lasso tool if I desire but when working at high speed this is also not preferable. I can do a CS3 video if you like but i'm sure you are aware that this was possible in CS3. Am I doing something wrong or is this how it should work?
