Using selection tools in Photoshop

The selection tools are the workhorses of Photoshop. They allow you to capture and isolate pixels so that you can edit or manipulate just a portion of an image. Marquee tools capture rectangular, elliptical or single rows or columns of pixels. Whereas the Lasso tools make freeform selections, the Magic Wand tool creates selections by picking up pixels of similar colors. And the Move and Crop tools do just what their names describe — move and crop images.
