How to work with the Selection Tool

To work with the Selection Tool

Step1

• Click the Selection button on the Tool palette.

Step 2

Place the mouse on the image at one of two places:

• To create a rectangular, square, or rounded rectangular or square selection, place the cursor at a corner of the area you want to select.

• To create a circular or elliptical selection, place the cursor at the center of the area you want to select.

• To create a selection using the other shapes, place the cursor at a point that would form the corner of an imaginary rectangle enclosing the shape.

Step 3

• Click and drag the mouse until the selection is the size you want. As the mouse moves, a line appears to indicate the border of the selection.

Step 4

Release the mouse button. The selection border will become a marquee.
