Thanks for the video!

Just a note, you put "learn" instead of "master" in the title. :)

did the direct selection tool change in CS5? I can't do what your doing with it in CS5.

@MizClayton make sure to highlight the point you want to drag first

My direct selection tool doesn't create a new shape. It does the exact same operation as the select tool... what is going on?

after working the rectangle a while you said ok, let's go back to the original rectangle. what did you do? delete? esc.? back, back? how did you go back to the original rectangle?

[JoshuaObi]

@royalconcrete1 Ctrl + Z (Undo)

[royalconcrete1]

@JoshuaObi thanks JoshuaObi for the answer! how to go back....

Very clear info for the beginner. Most other demonstrators click things way too fast without explaining. Thanks for your understandable and clear teaching style.

[ZawadiSimone]

This works only sometimes. Why does it (not) happen? Are you supposed to use specific keys as well?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

1:10 during video you "went back to starting shape" but didn't show what keyboard commands you used?

or how that was accomplished?

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

@eyedownload I pressed CTRL + Z several times until I went back to my starting shape.
