# Selecting Pickers and Softness Vertices

You can select pickers or softness vertices using the following techniques. Pickers are an element of the Tracer tool, which is only available in the GMask node in Batch and the Modular Keyer. See Applying Softness Using Pickers.

To select a single picker or softness vertex:

1. Click the picker or vertex that you want to select.

To select multiple pickers or softness vertices:

1. Select the mask vertices that the pickers or softness vertices are associated with (see previous section).
2. Click a picker or softness vertex corresponding to one of the selected mask vertices.

   The pickers or softness vertices are selected for all the selected mask vertices.
