Figure 5-2. To make a perfectly circular or square selection with the Marquee
tools—rather than an elliptical or rectangular one, respectively—hold down the Shift key
while you drag. After you draw a selection, you can reposition it by dragging it or tapping
the arrow keys on your keyboard. You can also adjust it with Elements' Transform Selec-
tion command, which is explained on page 173.

Drag within your image to make a selection

Wherever you initially click becomes one of the corners of your rectangular selection
or a point just beyond the outer edge of your ellipse (you can also draw perfectly cir-
cular or square selections, as
Figure 5-2
explains). The selection's outline expands as
you drag.
