using the quick selection tool
The Quick Selection tool provides one of the easiest ways to make a selection. You
simply paint an area of an image, and the tool automatically finds the edges. You
can add or subtract areas of the selection until you have exactly the area you want.
The image of the sand dollar in the 03Working.psd file has clearly defined edges,
making it an ideal candidate for the Quick Selection tool. You’ll select just the sand
dollar, not the shadow or background behind it.
1 Select the Zoom tool in the Tools panel, and then zoom in so that you can see
the sand dollar well.
2 Select the Quick Selection tool ( ) in the Tools panel.
3 Click on an off-white area near the outside edge of the sand dollar. The Quick
Selection tool finds the full edge automatically, selecting the entire sand dollar.
