I believe I have accidentally changed a setting inside my pen tool. I have previously been able to create a path using pen tool and when I created a new selection it was the area I created inside the path. Now for some reason when I use the pen tool and create a path when I make the new selection it selects the inverse of the path I created. How do I undo this?
