How to use Polygonal Lasso tool ?

The Polygonal Lasso tool draws straight-edged segments of a selection border. You can create as many segments as you need to draw a selection border.

1. In the Editor, select the Lasso tool from the side-bar.


2. Set Polygonal Lasso tool options in the options bar located above your image:
   • Specify whether to create a new selection, add to an existing selection, subtract from a selection, or select an area intersected by other selections. See details.
   • To soften the selection border so that it blends into the area outside the selection, enter a Feather value. See details.


3. Click where you want the first straight segment to begin, and click a second time where you want the segment to end and the next one to begin. Continue clicking to create segments.
   If you make a mistake, press the Delete key to erase segments. You can switch from creating straight-edge segments to drawing freehand by pressing Alt


4. Close the selection border by doing one of the following:
   • Positio the pointer over the starting point and click. A closed circle appears next to the pointer when you are over the starting point.
   • If the pointer is not over the starting point, double-click, or Ctrl + click. A straight selection segment is drawn from your pointer to the starting point of your selection.
