How to use Rectangular and Elliptical Marquee tools ?

The Rectangular Marquee tool draws square or rectangular selection borders, and the Elliptical Marquee tool draws round or elliptical selection borders.

1. In the Editor, select the Rectangular Marquee toolor Elliptical Marquee toolfrom the side-bar.


2. Set 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. Drag over the area you want to select. Hold down the Shift key as you drag to constrain the selection marquee to a square or circle.
   To reposition a marquee tool selection border, hold down the spacebar as you drag with the selection tool. Release the spacebar once the selection border is in the correct area.
