rectangular selection (or a square,
when used with Shift key)
Elliptical Marquee – makes an
elliptical selection (or a circle, when
used with the shift key).

by dragging
• Fixed Ratio- sets a height-to-width ratio.

a selection
using the

you can use

keyboard to
modify the

perfect square and circle,
respectively.

selection during the drawing
process.

7. 2.2 Lasso
Tool
Lasso is a freehand selection tool.
Click and hold your left mouse
button on the image and draw
your selection around the object
or area that you want to select
similar to how you would outline
something on a piece of paper
with pen or pencil.

8. 2.3 Polygonal
LassoTool
Similar to the lasso tool, it draws straight
lines between click point. It is handy for
selecting angular objects

9. 2.4
Magnetic
LassoTool
The magnetic lasso tool makes a
selection around the object by
actively detecting edges of an object,
looking for difference in color and
brightness between the object you
are trying to select and its back as you
are moving around it then snaps the
selection outline to the edge like a
magnet.

10. 2.5 Magic
Wand
The magic wand tool lets
you select the areas of color
by clicking rather than
dragging. This tool is great
for selecting solid colored
objects.

11. 2.6Quick
Selection
The quick selection tool is almost
the same as the magic wand tool
because it also selects pixels
based on tone and color.
