You can make the Image Resolution 1024 for better display in your backdrop images.
Do this within the Display Options panel, under the OpenGL tab.
8. Using the Pen tool from the Create tab, create a polygon in the shape of the
planter, as shown in Figure 16.8. Just click to create points around the planter
in the image. Feel free to zoom into the view, and make it full frame to easily
align the Pen tool.

Figure 16.8 Using the Pen tool, you can quickly create a mask for any area of an image.
9. After you??™ve laid down the necessary points with the Pen tool, press the spacebar
to turn off the Pen tool. Then, using the Drag tool (Ctrl+t), shape the points to
better fit the image, if needed.
