lasso tool

Hi folks,

I am trying to figure out the best way to use the lasso tool, so that I can edit a subject i.e. person, piece of furniture, trees etc. I find it hard to trace the subject without also editing other parts of my photo. What's the best way to do this?

Thanks,
Steve

If you use the lasso tool, work in magnified mode, then just make small clicks as you work your way around the object. Don't try doing large areas.

The other way is to use a mask and paint out the unwanted areas.
