Hi Helen,
That's a good question. You don't have to start at autorecon1, however.
When you run -autorecon2-wm or -autorecon2-pial one of the first steps is:
mri_mask -T 5 brain.mgz brainmask.mgz brain.finalsurfs.mgz
which is changing the brain.finalsurfs.mgz to take into account the
changes you made to the brainmask.mgz. Your edits are not lost.
