Optimizing Lasso Selections
Many users (even professionals) prefer the Lasso Selection tool to the Path
tool for uncomplicated selections. To switch to the Polygon Lasso tool for a
short stretch, hold the Alt/Option key while working. To switch back to
the regular Lasso tool, just release the Alt/Option key while depressing
the mouse button.
Switching between the Lasso and Polygon Lasso tools is easy.
