photoshop workshop- lassoing

To lasso a part an image,select the lasso tool
you can use either free form lasso, lassoing with straight lines, or magnetic lasso.

free form lasso tool allows you to freely make any shape you want to cut out. just click and drag the tool around the area you wish to select,making sure you end at exactly where you started.it is good to have a steady hand if selecting a specific details using the free form lasso tool.


polygonal lasso,to select hold and drag across on the lasso tool to bring it up
this allows you to lasso useing straight lines
 Magnetic lasso tool, select like how you did for the polygonal lasso tool.
more accurate selection by sticking like a magnet to edges of the area you wish to select.


You can then copy and paste this area onto another selection of the image or another image. A great way to make sure you have eveything that you want selected. use quick mass mode. there you can erase parts this you don't want in the selected area, or unerase parts that you didn't select when using the lasso tool.
