Selection in Photoshop
Why All the Options?
 Photoshop is a mammoth of an application that is
apparently ready with excess. For any given activity,
there's dependably a sensation of distinctive approaches
to go about it! This is particularly valid for making
determinations, which is an activity that Photoshop
exceeds expectations at and has huge amounts of
gimmicks to backing.
 So why try learning every one of them when you can
simply get decent at utilizing one? It is safe to say that it
is truly important to know eight or more diverse
approaches to make a senseless little determination?
Marquee
 the Marquee Tool. With it, you can draw a box or
circle to select a portion of your canvas.
 It can do the following:
 Single Row/Column
 Keyboard Switching
 Modification Shortcuts
When to use the marquee tool?
 The Marquee Tools are workhorses, you’ll use them
all the time. However, they’re only for the most basic
of selection tasks.
 time you need a slightly complex selection, it’s best
to use one of the other methods.
 Don’t fall into the trap of using these simply because
they’re the easiest, there are plenty of other options
that are just as simple and work far better in certain
scenarios.
Lasso
 Slightly more complex than the Marquee Tools are
the Lasso Tools, which give you much more freedom
over the shape of your selection. There are three
variations of the Lasso Tool: the Default Lasso Tool,
Polygonal Lasso Tool and Magnetic Lasso Tool,
which can be quickly cycled through via the “L” key.
lasso
 The Lasso Tool is 100% freeform. Simply grab it and
start drawing with your mouse or trackpad to make a
selection.
 Obviously, the result is going to be basic at best.
Polygonal Lasso Tool
 The Polygonal Lasso Tool allows you to click from
point to point to gradually build a selection.
 Selections made with this tool are purely comprised
of straight edges.
 you can pull off a original curve, but for the most
part you’ll definitely want to stick to hard edges.
Magnetic Lasso Tool
 The Magnetic Lasso Tool is a lot like a cross between
the Polygonal Lasso Tool and the Magic Wand Tool.
 It allows you to build your selection incrementally,
but in a fairly automatic fashion.
 Simply move your mouse along an edge and the
MLT will give its best guess for outlining that edge.
 You can let the tool build your points automatically
or manually click if there’s a specific point that you
think needs to be dropped.
Quick Selection
 The Quick Selection Tool is somewhat of a newcomer
to the Photoshop selection tool family.
 However, it’s already proved itself to be far more
useful than the Magic Wand Tool.
 This tool works like a brush: select your brush size,
hardness, and spacing, then start painting to create a
selection.
Pen Tool
 The Pen Tool is probably the most widely feared of
the selection tools, it also happens to be one of my
favorite.
 To be accurate, the tool is specifically for creating
paths, which can then easily be converted to
selections via a Command-Click.
