Combining the tools
You can use the Selection tools separately or in combination. For example, you can use the
Magic Wand to select most of a particular color, then switch to the Freehand Lasso to add to, or
subtract from, the selection. Or you could use the Marquee to select a large general area, then
refine it using the Freehand Lasso.
To use the Freehand Lasso:
1. Click the Freehand Lasso to select it.
2. On the image, click and hold down the left mouse button as you draw around the area you
want to select.
3. Release the mouse button to complete the selection.
4. To clear the selection, click anywhere on the image (for the Freehand Lasso or Marquee )
or click Clear.
5. To add to an existing selection, hold down SHIFT and draw a shape that includes any part
of the original selection line.
When you release the mouse, the original selection expands to include the outer edge of
your addition.
