Dear Freesurfer Experts,

I have read the advice on the wiki regarding what to do when pial surfaces extend into the cerebellum.  I had a few questions to clairfy things:

1) If I have made other (non-cerebellar) edits to the brainmask.mgz, and added control points can I simply do

cp brainmask.mgz brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz
edit the cerebellum voxels out on the brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz
run recon-all -autorecon2-cp -autorecon3 -subjid name

Will this then apply non-cerebellar and cerebellar edits (as well as control points) and give appropriate segmentations ?

OR

Do I have to

make non-cerbellar edits to brainmask.mgz
cp brain.finalsurfs.mgz brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz
make cerebellar edits to brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz
run recon-all -autorecon2-cp -autorecon3 -subjid name

Thanks.
