Working with selections 293

• Selection tool — lets you create a selection of a specific shape,

such as a rectangle, square, ellipse, circle, or star.

• Freehand Selection tool — lets you create a selection around

the edges of an object, such as petals of a flower or fingers on a

hand. You can make four types of selections with the Freehand

tool:

• Edge Seeker — finds the edges between two areas with color

differences when you click on the edges of irregularly shaped

areas

• Freehand — lets you quickly select an area by dragging

• Point to Point — lets you draw straight lines between points to

create a selection with straight edges

• Smart Edge — automatically finds the edges of irregularly shaped

areas when you click along the edges

• Magic Wand tool — makes a selection based on the color,

hue, brightness, or opacity of an object. This tool is designed to

select an area that has distinctly different pixels than those in

other areas of an image — for example, a pink rose surrounded by

green leaves, or a dark area in an otherwise bright image.

The selection tools can also be used on vector layers to create selections

from vector objects. For example, if you copy a selection and paste it

as a new image, it is copied to a raster layer as individual pixels rather

than as a vector object.

For information about vector text, see “Applying text” on page 531.

You can make a selection with one tool and then switch to another tool

to add to or subtract from the selection. For more information, see

“Modifying selections” on page 307.
