Manipulating Selections

Making a selection in Photoshop Elements isolates a specific area of your image. This chapter shows you how to move, stretch, erase, and manipulate your selection in a variety of ways. You can use these techniques to rearrange people and objects in your image, enlarge elements to give them prominence, or delete things altogether.
