Microsoft Digital Image Standard User’s Manual
Using Selection Tools
Selection tools give you more control and more options for editing images.
They allow you to fix problems that exist in only part of the picture. You can
also use selection tools to create new objects that can be duplicated or pasted
onto other pictures.
Selection tools help you to isolate any part of a larger picture, which enables
you to:
• Turn part of a picture into a separate object.
• Apply filters or other effects to a limited area of a picture.
• Duplicate part of an image within a picture.
• Combine parts from two or more pictures.
The selection tools are located on the toolbar next to the Selection options
button. There are five selection tools available, and each one works well for a
specific editing scenario. Select the method that best fits your picture and your
intended use. In addition to the Object tool mentioned above, the other four
selection tools are:
• Marquee tool
• Freehand tool
• Edge Finder
• Magic Wand
