All the ways to select in photoshop - Adobe Tutorial
Today I will show you all the different ways to make selections
Here is a quick list
• Rectangle tool (basic shapes, framing)
When selecting: Shift to add, alt to extract. (modes in tool settings as well)
• Lasso tool (custom shapes, quick and not that precise, very easy)
• Pen tool (precise, curves, takes more time)
• Quick selection tool (very quick, bad at some details)
• Magic wand (quickest, only plain backgrounds)
• Color range (object stands out enough, perfect for trees, hair)
• Select subject (auto, great start of selection)
• Select and mask (details, handwork, mostly automatic)
• Ctrl+click mask (selecting layer fill)
Here are the two ways I make selections:
Not perfect but quick: select subject, select and mask for finish. Almost always works great.
The perfect one: Select subject, unless (plain background(color range) or defined shape(pen tool))
Then: select and mask
