Selection tools

What are selection tools?

The selection tools allow us to select a portion or a subset of an image to work on. Most of Photoshop’s other tools and filters can then be applied to this selected area, altering its color, shape, texture, position and/or other attributes, while leaving the rest of the image untouched.

If us understand how to effectively use selection tools in the software it will work wonders for our image.

Photoshop contains three types of selection tools: 

1.Marquee Tools

 2.Lasso Tools 

3.Magic Wand

 

The marquee tools are used to select a specific regularly shaped area. The marquee tools include the Rectangular, Elliptical, Single Row and Single Column Marquees

The lasso tools are used to select an irregular area. These tools include the Lasso Tool, the Polygonal Lasso Tool and the Magnetic Lasso Tool.

The Magic Wand is used to select areas of an image based upon color; the Magic Wand does not have additional tools.
