1. Lasso Tools.
a.

Symbol and description.

The lasso tool behavior is more or less identical to that of the marquee selection tools and the same modifier key rules
apply. To use the standard, freehand lasso tool, just drag around the area to be selected holding down the mouse as you
draw. When you release the mouse, the last point of the lasso selection drawn will join up with the starting point to form a
complete selection.

2. Polygonal Lasso Tools

a. Symbol and description.

When the polygon lasso tool is selected you can click to start the selection, release the mouse and position the
cursor to draw a straight line, click to draw another line and so on. To complete a polygon lasso tool selection,
position the cursor directly above the starting point (a small circle icon appears next to the cursor) and click on
the start point. Note that with the polygon lasso tool you dont have to keep the mouse pressed down as is
necessary with the lasso tool. If you want to temporarily revert to freehand lasso mode operation, hold down the
Option/Alt key and drag with the mouse. Release the Option/Alt key and the tool will revert to polygon mode
again. As with the marquee selection tools, you can hold down the Shift key and then drag with the lasso or
polygon lasso tool to add to an existing selection. Or you can hold down the Option/Alt key to subtract from an
existing selection or hold down the Shift+Option/Shift+Alt keys to intersect with an existing selection.
