32 Manipulating Images
PhotoPlus offers a very wide range of selection tools, and a variety of
commands for modifying the extent or properties of the selected pixels.
The standard selection tools are located on the Standard
Selection Tools flyout on the Tools toolbar. There you can choose from
the Rectangle, Ellipse, Freehand, or Polygon tools.
To select a rectangular or elliptical area, select the Rectangle or
Ellipse tool from the flyout and drag to define a region on the image.
Rectangle / Square Ellipse / Circle
The selected region is bounded by a broken line or marquee, and the
cursor over the selection changes to the Move Marquee cursor, which
lets you reposition just the marquee as needed without affecting the
underlying pixels.
Holding down the Ctrl key during dragging constrains the selection
shape to either a square or a circle.
To select a freehand (irregular) area, select the Freehand selection
tool and just drag to draw around the area to be selected, making a
closed area.
Or use the Polygon selection tool to draw a series of line segments
(double-click to close the polygon).
