Better Selections with the Zoom Tool
It is far easier and more accurate to make a selection while we are zoomed in on our subject,
but we can only see part of the object that we wish to select. Fortunately, we can add to
our original selection by making another selection. This only works if we choose the
Add to
Selection
icon on the
Options Bar
. The Icons are different for the
Lasso Tools
when com-
pared to the
Quick Select Tool (Figure 78)
. We can also
Subtract From Selection.
With the ability to add and subtract from our original selection, we can zoom in as much as
necessary to see the details of our selection and improve it. The yellow outline in the next
image indicates what might be our first selection for this particular subject.
