Make sure that you are starting and end points are within the first selection. To do this, with Lasso Tool still selected, press the Shift key and draw again around the area that you need to correct. To bring my selection close to the edges of the flower, I will have to add the part that I missed out during my initial selection. You can notice that I was not very precise while making this selection. Let’s take a look at the image below for example. The best way to work with this tool is to first draw an initial selection without worrying too much about being precise and then make corrections. The only thing that saves the day while working the Standard Lasso tool is Photoshop’s ability to add to and subtract from selections. It is definitely not the most accurate tools of Photoshop and even a slight shake of hand will ruin the entire selection. If you do not circle back to the starting point, Photoshop draws a straight line to close the selectionĪs I mentioned above, you do need to have a steady hand to draw using the Lasso Tool. You do not have to necessarily circle back to your starting point but if you do not, Photoshop will automatically close the selection by drawing a straight line from your starting point to end point. Once you have circled back to the starting point, release the mouse button and Photoshop will highlight the selection area. You select a starting point, left click, keep the mouse button pressed down and start drawing around your subject.
Using Lasso Tool is fairly easy to understand. You will have to again either right click on lasso tool or left click and hold for a few seconds for the drop down to pop up. If last used tool was Magnetic or Polygonal, pressing “L” will again reselect it. Keyboard shortcut for selecting the Lasso tool is “L” however it is the same shortcut for all the Lasso tools. To go back to Standard Lasso tool then, either click and hold for a few seconds on the lasso tools and then select from the drop-down or right click and then select. For example, if the last used tool was Magnetic Lasso Tool, this will be the one that will show in the toolbar.
Photoshop by default highlights the last used tool in the tool bar. T o select the Lasso Tool, click on the rope shaped icon. This tool, though very basic, does require a very steady hand, lots of patience, decent drawing skills and a good quality mouse. Lasso Tool comes in handy when you have to make selection around a complex subject. The one that we are going to discuss here is the Standard Lasso Tool. There are three different versions of Lasso Tool in Photoshop.
