Tools
In the last chapter, you were introduced to the most common selection
tools in Photoshop through a short exercise. This chapter expands on
that walkthrough by drilling down into all the selection tools available.
A number of these selection tools will remain a mystery or be forgotten
unless you experiment heavily with them. Eventually you will develop
your own method for selecting complex areas. Photoshop and Elements
are so flexible that you can choose from a host of powerful selection
tools besides the traditional Rectangle and Lasso:
■Advanced Lasso tools. Polygonal Lasso and Magnetic Lasso.■Specialized Marquee tools. Single Row and Single Column.
