Using the Lasso tool is the digital version of tracing an outline around an object on a piece of paper. It’s that easy. And you have only two choices on the Options bar — Feather and Anti-alias. To find out more about these options, see “Applying marquee options,” earlier in this chapter.

Here’s how to make a selection with the Lasso tool:

The leading point of the cursor is the protruding end of the rope, as shown in Figure 7-5. Don’t be afraid to zoom into your object if you need to see the edge more distinctly. In this figure, we started at the upper-left corner of the butterfly’s wing.

3. Hold down the mouse button and trace around your desired object. Try to include only what you want to select.
