Lesson 4. Working with Selections
Learning how to select areas of an image is of primary importance—you must first select what you want to affect. Once you’ve made a selection, only the area within the selection can be edited. Areas outside the selection are protected from change.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to do the following:
- Select parts of an image using a variety of tools.
- Reposition a selection marquee.
- Deselect a selection.
- Move and duplicate a selection.
- Constrain the movement of a selection.
- Choose areas of an image based on proximity or color of pixels.
- Adjust a selection with the arrow keys.
- Add to and subtract from selections.
