Brynley Jones Pen copy

[roadrunner465]

I have tried to use the pen instead of the lasso to outline my subjects. The pen works fine but I have a couple of questions.
I do not know where auto add/delete is on the tools bar.
I am also having problems with the colors.
I use the correct paths icon, I outline no problem the next thing I need to do is to go to the paths tab on the layers, double click to name the path and save it. I have a problem here. Once I right click and make a selection I am supposed to just get my selection with lots of dots, but instead my background and all are colored instead.
Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong. Maybe if you look at my pic you might see something that I am not.
Again thanks
No work today just Roots and this type of work
