Tips on Using Lasso Tool in Adobe Photoshop

Video Transcript

Hi! This is Kyle with Expert Village. I am going to give you some tips on using photoshop. Let’s say for instance if we wanted to create a background that was smudged let’s go to really big, let’s go to like 2000 so it is huge. So what we are going to do is we are going to smudge at the background. Now if you do this typically it takes a little more rendering time, that is one of the little mouse button you come up here. Now one of the other last things that I want to show you is your lasso tool, outside of anything else you use this is very vital. Let us say for instance we had to go here and we wanted to cut out. What we want to do is take the lasso tool when you want to go around the edge and when you right click then it stops and so from that point on let us say for instance you want to grab her hair, let us just do a real loose one, let’s say we grab the hair. Now edit, copy, edit, paste. We just created a new layer here. Now we have the ability to right click the layer, layer 1. We can pull her hair up. So if we want to look like it is more blowing in the wind, I want to add some hair down here, wherever I want to add the hair I will do it here.
