CREATE FREEFORM SELECTIONS WITH THE LASSO TOOL
When you create a selection with the Lasso tool, you use the mouse to draw a
freeform selection around the area you want to select.
1. Select the Lasso tool.
2. In the options bar, which appears below the Full Edit and
Quick Fix tabs, type a value between 0 and 250 in the
Feather field. This setting determines how much feathering
Photoshop Elements applies to the selection. When you
feather a selection, you determine how soft the edge of the
selection will be. The default value of 0 produces a hardedged
selection, while higher values gradually blend the
selection into the surrounding pixels.
3. Accept the default Anti-Alias option. Anti-aliasing smoothes
the edge of the selection.
4. Click to define the starting point of your selection and, while
holding the mouse button, drag around the area you want to
select.
5. Release the mouse button to close the selection.
