Hello friends welcome to tutorials point in this video we are going to
lesson lasso tool in Adobe Photoshop so friends the lasso tool in Adobe Photoshop is a
selection tool Photoshop actually gives us a three variant of lasso to work with in the
tool panel you can see here there are a three type of lasso tool which is lasso tool
which is a standard lasso tool, polygon lasso tool and a magnetic lasso tool
By pressing a L from your keyboard you can select a lesser tool
For example right now I am in Move tool. If I am pressing LL it will be automatically select a standard lesser tool
Now if you want to switch to a polygon lasso tool or magnetic lasso tool
you have to press SIF plus L from your keyboard so as you can see
the icon will be changing like it is a polygon lasso tool. Now it is a magnetic lasso tool
So like this you can interchange your lasso tools. So Photoshop provides a various type of selection tool and the lasso tool is one of them
It helps us in making a free hand selection. Probably the lasso tool is the easiest to use and understand the selection tool in Photoshop
Now this tool is very handy for selecting a small complex area For example if I want to select my laptop or I want to select my logo or these ears eyes or anything from the image if there is a
complex or a small area then this lesser tool is very useful so friends let's
see practically how this lesser tool is working and all the properties of
lasso tool and after that we are going to remove this window from this train
footage and exchange that with a real background So friends let's do it
So for that first of all we have to create one new document
So first I will show you the all properties of LASSO tool. So I'm just creating one new document
Lesser tool fine. So I'm creating one new document to show you practically how this Lesser tool is working and all the properties of Lesser tool
So from here you can activate your Lesser tool or you can also press L from your keyboard
Now friends to make a selection we just have to return to the same point with our cursor from where we started and it will make a selection
For example, I started my selection from here. Okay, so you need to make sure that you are coming to that start point like this or else what happened? I will show you
Now friends in case you creating these kind of selections and if we release the pointer at any other point the lasso tool will automatically complete the selection by drawing a straight line between the point from where we started and where it ended
Like this you can see a straight line. So I am just show you once again if I am creating one selection like this and if I am ended over here then it will be fine
But if I am selecting like this and ended from here then it will be creating one straight line from this end to a start
start like this so friends now we are going to see some properties of this lasso tool okay so
friends now I'm just creating one random selection like this now we are going to see in the
property there are lots of property first property is new new selection if I want to
create a new selection just select this new and once I'm creating this shape then my
previous selection will be gone okay so I'm just creating one new shape like this
And friends beside that new you can see a other property which is called add to selections
means if you want to add some more selection to this footage then just select the selections
and once I'm creating these selections over here and as you can see it will be added
to my previous selection. Now the next property is subtract from the selection
The name it suggests it will be subtract from the selections So if I don want this part I am just selecting this part like this and it will be subtract from that previous selections right and the next property is that intersect with selections so it will be intersect with my previous selection for example
I am just selecting this part so what happened it will be just selecting the previous part of this area
so this is a properties of this lasso tool so friends next is feather
So I'm going to this footage and I'm just applying a tan feather fine and I'm just creating a new selection to my Photoshop
Okay, I'm just selecting my Photoshop text layer and now I am selecting a lasso tool and apply a tan feather
I'm just selecting this little part of P and I'm just copied it
So as you can see, the feather is applied to this particular text
So like this you can also apply a feather to a footage as well as text or any object in Adobe Photoshop
For now I'm just deleting this and enable my Photoshop text. So guys, this is all about a property
