All right, welcome back.
So in this lecture, we're to talk about the lasso tool.
So in Photoshop here we're in I'm going to right click on the lasso tool here.
So we have the lasso tool, the polygon, all Laszlo tool and then the magnetic lasso tool.
So let's do a file save.
And then when I'm going to do the machine, how to use the lasso tool first.
OK.
So basically it's gonna be a free drawing selection tool.
OK.
So once you see the.
And if I had to leave it, it's going to delete it controls you don't do that.
I can control C control access to cut and copy and then control shift.
And for a new layer in control v the pace that whatever I highlighted with the lasso tool.
That's what it's going to select.
So think of the lassos.
A free selection tool.
Right.
So I can go around here and I can highlight this whole thing.
It's going to grab everything inside of my canvas.
Now, if I use the polygon or lasso tool, let's talk about something to.
Right.
Click on the Lassalle tool and go to that.
You can see if I hold Scheft, it'll draw straight line.
If I hold Sheft, it'll be a straight line.
Still Scheft.
OK.
And then I can draw it until I see this little circle, which means I've reached the end point.
OK, so again, the same thing is I can control C, control X, and it's going to copy, cut and copy
whatever layer I'm on.
So layer three.
I could control v layer three and then I'll make another layer.
Mario.
And that's the Billy the Polygon old tool.
It just it lets you.
Just like her.
It's more for straight objects.
You don't have to do straight objects with it, but it's very angled.
So it's.
That's really what it's designed for.
Is that so if you're going to do like a polygon, let's say I control Z. here.
OK.
The real control D I mean, if I was into a polygon.
Mary Engle oriented or a triangle?
Right.
So if I wanted to do a triangle or something.
It's very easy to do because it's.
Polygon, polygonal.
Create straight edged selections.
So, again, that's the idea.
Now, the last one is the magnetic lasso tool, which is more for makes a selection by snap into image
edges.
So for this example, what it's going to do and it's going to create points.
You see the points here.
And the reason why it does that is that it knows where it is and it's magnetic.
So it's going to make phonetically attach to this rectangle because it's realizing that it's an image.
Right.
And then so this is the end point with a little circle.
That's one way to do it.
Now, the other way I'm doing this oval here, same thing.
It's going to be magnetic and it's going to attach to it.
But you don't want to go too far off because then it's not going to catch it.
You have to kind of.
This is more of a sensitive tool because like I said, if if we're trying to select this, OK, then
you have to use some precision here and you can do it as long as you are kissing the edge, so to speak.
OK.
As long as you pull it towards the edge, it's going to, for the most part, work on its own.
Can you see how it kind of went off?
The rails are a little bit.
Which is OK.
I mean, you could.
We'll try it one more time here.
Just to get up to.
So it does take some practice to get used to it.
Not exactly where I want to, but that's all right.
You get the idea.
That's the whole point.
This is just to show you how the tools work so that you can utilize them for your projects and be efficient.
OK.
So thank you so much for watching us in the next lecture.
