In today’s episode, we show you How to Use the Lasso Tools in Photoshop. We’re talking about the Magnetic, Standard and Polygonal Lasso Tools!
Standard Lasso Tool
The Standard Lasso Tool has it’s advantages and disadvantages. It’s not great for areas that require a very precise, calculated selection. The Standard Lasso Tool is great for areas that are more of random selections. If there is an area of your image or if you want to create an area of your image that doesn’t require a precise selection, the Standard Lasso Tool is the best tool to use. Selecting things like mountains or puddles are perfect examples of when the Standard Lasso Tool would come in handy. In our example, we color the inside of a flower with the Standard Lasso tool. It’s perfect for random, unpredictable areas of your image.
Polygonal Lasso Tool
The Polygonal Lasso Tool will allow you to create polygons. This is great for straight lights and sharp corners. When selection out buildings or different types of architecture, the Polygonal Lasso Tool is a great choice! In our example, we select the outline of the tv in our image. Now because this is a selection, we group it with a New Layer and place an image inside our tv selection. With a bit of transforming and perspective matching, we were able to place an image on the tv seamlessly.
Magnetic Lasso Tool
The Magnetic Lasso Tool is perfect for tracing around an object. The Magnetic Lasso Tool basically finds the edge of the selection you are trying to make. There are more options involved with the Magnetic Lasso Tool. From the Width, Contrast and Frequency, the Magnetic Lasso Tool gives us enough variety to use the tool to our advantage.
Conclusion
In conclusion, all of the tools in Photoshop can be extremely useful when used correctly. The Lasso Tools are no exception. They are commonly used to create selections. Rather that selection be a spill on the carpet, which in that case you’d use the Standard Lasso Tool. Or if that selection requires getting around corners and dealing with straight lines, which in that case you’d use the Polygonal Lasso Tool. Or if it’s just an object in your image that you want to cut out. In that case the Magnetic Lasso Tool might be the perfect for the job. These three Lasso Tools are great for creating any type of selection that you desire.
