Editing with Selection
Tools
Have you ever cut out parts of several pictures and pasted them together
into one image? Or have you ever had a portrait in which you wished
you could somehow eliminate the background? Ever receive or take a
photo and wish you could lighten a shadow on the face of a friend?
The first step to making changes like these is to tell the imaging soft-
ware what parts of the image you want to work with. This process is
called selecting an area of the image, or simply making a selection (see
Figure 10.1). This chapter explains in depth all the selection tools avail-
able in Photoshop to budding digital photographers.
