As soon as you make the first stroke with this tool the tool sets itself to the Add To Selection option. Don't worry if you don't get the whole mannequin on the first stroke. Click hold and drag across part of the mannequin and Photoshop automatically selects - at least part of it. Let's say that we want to select the mannequin so that we can apply an adjustment to it. So, it will do a lot of the selecting work for you. This tool can detect edges of objects based on color and tone. Go to the Tools panel and click on the Quick Selection tool. To make sure the layer with the content you want to select is highlighted there. If you're working on an image with multiple layers first check the Layers panel. You can give them a try on this image from the practice files for this tutorial or on an image of your own. The Quick Selection tool and the Lasso tool. Let's get familiar with a couple of selection tools you'll probably use often. You don't need to master all of them when you're just getting started with Photoshop. There are quite a few selection tools and methods. So, stay tuned for the rest of the videos in this tutorial. But there's lots more to learn about making and working with selections. When you save this image go to File, Save As. It's one to remember because you'll use it often. Or, you could use the keyboard shortcut Command + D, or Ctrl + D on Windows. To do that, go to the Select menu and choose Deselect. So that the next thing you do to the image isn't limited by the selection. Finally, when you're finished with a selection it's important to deselect. And this time, let's increase the Brightness. With this selection active, let's go to the Image menu and choose Adjustments, Brightness/Contrast. To do that, go up to the Select Menu and choose Inverse. Instead - you can invert this selection to select everything, except the building. In that case you wouldn't have to start again creating a new selection. Let's say you wanted to make a different Brightness/Contrast adjustment to affect everything, except the building. As you can see that change is affecting only the area inside the 'marching ants'. And drag the Contrast slider to the right to increase contrast. In the Brightness/Contrast dialog box drag the Brightness slider way over to the left. Which we covered in more detail in an earlier tutorial in this series. Let's go up to the Image menu and choose Adjustments and we'll use a Brightness/Contrast. So, now that we have the building selected let's make an adjustment and you'll see that your adjustment affects just the area inside the 'marching ants'. I'm also going to subtract a little from the selection down here to remove the parking lot. Then come into the image and click and drag around the area that you want to remove from the selection. How do you subtract from a selection? For that, go up to the Options bar and click on the next icon the Subtract from selection icon here. Now, let's say that you go too far - like this. If you don't get it all you can come in and Add to the little bit that you didn't get the first time. Click the Add to Selection option in the Options bar and then come into the image and click inside the top right corner of the existing selection and drag to encompass more of the building and the parking lot too. Let's say we want to Add to our selection to include the entire building. You'll use these often and you'll find them in the Options bar for many of the selection tools. There you'll find an icon for Adding to a selection and one for Subtracting from a selection. Before we do that take a look at the Options bar for this selection tool. If you were to do something to the image now like make an adjustment it would appear only inside the area defined by the 'marching ants'. They're sometimes called 'marching ants'. The animated lines you see represent the edge of the selection. Click on that tool and then move into the image and start at the upper left corner of this building and click and drag out a rectangular selection of part of the building and include the parking lot below too. This tool is used to make rectangular and square shaped selections. So, let's just use the first selection tool in the Tools panel. We're not focusing on selection tools in this video. Let's jump right in and make a selection. You can follow along with this image from the practice files for this tutorial. In this video, we'll cover some basics about working with selections. Whether those involve making an image adjustment, applying a filter, painting or lots more. Once you've made a selection only the selected area will be impacted by your edits. So, you can make adjustments to that part, or work on only that area. A selection is a way to isolate part of an image. You may have heard of selections, but you may not know exactly what they do.
