How to select an object in Photoshop?
To select an object and extract it from the background in Adobe Photoshop, you can use several methods and tools. Consider now in more detail how to select an object in Photoshop.
First in Photoshop you need to download the image,then you need to select the appropriate tool to select. Most often used lasso, magnetic lasso and polygonal lasso. The most convenient and often used is the magnetic lasso, since the tool does the work itself. However, this tool is best used for clear and high-quality objects, so that the boundaries are even. The lasso works like this: the mouse cursor just needs to be neatly guided along the edge of the desired object.
The second, already more complex way, which inthe program Photoshop you can select an object without a background, is a quick mask mode (for easy use - on the keyboard the Q key), which then automatically becomes the selected area. To select the desired object, you need to brush over the necessary area. But this method is complicated by the fact that it is hard to make even edges. Nevertheless, it is often chosen for "shaggy" contours, as working as a quick mask, the heavily allocated edges remain flat. This requires greater accuracy of movements with the mouse.
To protect yourself from unwanted and accidentalyou can step through the process (Selection - Save Selection). You need to know that the quick mask disappears if you remove the selection from it. It is important to remember that drawing with a white brush removes the mask already drawn, and black - vice versa, adds. To exit the Quick Mask mode, click the "Standard Mode" button.
Another way, how to select an object inPhotoshop, is the use of "Pen". "Pen" is needed for a more accurate selection. Many people overestimate this tool because they are convinced that it is difficult to use. He, of course, is insidious, but you can learn the tricks of working with him.
Let us consider this method closer. "Pen" is the main tool for creating contours and vector objects by means of dotted tracing. First, select the "Pen" on the toolbar (or the P key on the keyboard), then - the pen view is already on the top panel and get to work. Dot the area of the selected object. This is quite laborious, but, perhaps, more qualitatively in the final result. This method is also well suited for isolating complex and precise regions. When using "Pen" you need to be able to work with layers. By the way, to make it easier to work with selections, you can zoom in the photo (you need to press "Ctrl" and "+", and to decrease the contrast - "Ctrl and" - ".
