The Magnetic Lasso Tool

The third type of Lasso Tools is the Magnetic Lasso. This enables us to make a more detailed selection than the other two Lasso tools without too much effort, providing there is enough contrast between our selecting area and background.

The Lasso tools

The Lasso Tools are a group of selection type tools. Three Lasso tools are available in Photoshop. This video tutorial introduces us the Lasso tool and the Polygonal Lasso tool. With the first one we can make a free-form selection just enclosing the desired area by dragging and returning to the starting point. When we want to make a more detailed selection we use the Polygonal Lasso. This one enables us to create straight line segments by clicking and in this case the enclosing area is our selection.

Magic Wand and Quick Selection tools

When we want to select different areas of our images that have the same or similar colors, the basic tools that we use are the Magic Wand and Quick Selection. These are very useful when we are going to select the background of an image where the background and foreground colors have a high contrast.

The Move Tool

This video tutorial introduces us to the Move tool, the first tool in our toolbar and the most important and handy one in Photoshop. Obviously we use this tool when we want to move an element in our image, but we also use it to select an element (or a layer) to rotate or transform it…

The Marquee Tool

The second group of tools in our Photoshop toolbox is the Marquee Tools.
The Marquee Tools include four selection types: the Rectangular, Elliptical, Single Row and Single Column Marquees. These are our first choice when we want to select rectangular or elliptical areas in our image. The Single Row and Single Column Marquees have the same use as the first two tools, expect that they select a 1-pixel row or column which extend the full height or width of the document.

Photo Filters

Here we can see the way that we use the Photoshop’s photo filters. With photo filters, we can quickly change the color of an image. It’s similar to using camera lenses to produce special photographic images.

Workspace

Photoshop Workspace is our working area. So if we want to work more efficiently it’s obviously very important to arrange our palettes and tools in the right place for each job. The customization of the workspace is a good way to gain priceless time. On the video above we can see the choices that we have, so that we can customize our working area.
