How to work with the Lasso tool in Photoshop

The Lasso tool is a great way to select a larger area out of any image. Here is how to work it

• Click on the Lasso icon
• Make your selection of feathering and aliasing in the option bar. This is to make the actual borders way lighter and more blurred, to make the later outcome more natural
• In the options bar there are further icons to edit your selection ( add, subtract, intersect)
• Use your mouse or other hand tool to make your „ Lasso” selection.
• You can switch between free-hand and straight selection by holding down Alt and mark both points which you want to connect with a straight line.
• You can easily reverse by using the Alt + Delete shortcut
• To end the drawing simply release the mouse
