Chapter 4 & 5: Making and Manipulating Selections

Chapter 4 & 5 covers everything about the selection tools. Selection tools are made to select wanted area. There are 4 types of Marquee tools: Rectangular, Eliptical, Single Row and Single Row. Selected area is outlined with the "marching ants". Using shortkeys u can add, substract, inverse, deselect and hide the marching ants. You can soft the edges using feathering. The other type of selection is lasso tool which consists of polygonal, magnetic and freehand tracing Lasso tools. You can also change, rotate, skew/distort the selection. In Photoshop CS 4 you can save the selected area by clicking at alpha channel and saving it.
