Curves - Setting Anchor Points

FJ
I am doing my best to transition from an Adobe workflow to alternatives and hope Capture One 7 and beyond will eventually allow me to make a complete break. I am at a loss as to why I am not able to set additional anchor points in Curves. The Curves "eye dropper" is highlighted and yet when I click within the image it will not set any additional points on the curve. I had set four points and made initial adjustments and then needed to add a fifth point and I am not able to do so. I thought maybe there is a limit of four points (I sure hope not) so I removed one and can still not add an additional point. I am seeing the orange line move in the Curve window as I move the eye dropper over the image so I do not why I am unable to add any more anchor points. Also I am not able to select more than one anchor point at a time to allow me to move them simultaneously - Photoshop: Shift + Click would be the "normal" way to do this. The joys of getting up to speed with a new tool, this is very basic stuff and a little frustrating to have to deal with.

    I'd just make sure that you have the "Pick Curve Point" tool selected.
    To my knowledge there is no limit, I suppose the limit comes when the curve is simply too full.

    Thanks Drew - "Pick Curve Point" is selected. I ended up Quitting Capture One and relaunching and I am able to add additional points again. This might be something for QA to take a look at.

    By the way is there a way to select and then move two or more anchor points simultaneously?

    Sorry but no.

    I really like C1 and prefer it over Lightroom but I do find it incredibly buggy. I've encountered dozens of little niggles and the only solution is to restart C1. I really hope C1P8 will be more robust in this regard.
