2. Click the Regions button in the tool bar. (The region kind buttons will appear to the right of the tool bar.)
3. Click the desired region button (polygon, spline, or Bézier) from the tool bar.
4. Move the mouse around the photo and click wherever you want a control point. Repeat for every desired control point.
