2.Polygonal Lasso Tool

a.Symbol and description of the tools

Polygonal Lasso Tool, another of its basic selections tools, is a bit like a cross between
the Rectangular Marquee Tool and the standard Lasso Tool, both of which we looked at in previous
tutorials. It allows us to easily draw freeform selection outlines based on straight-sided polygonal
shapes. But while the Rectangular Marquee Tool limits us to drawing 4-sided polygons (rectangles or
squares), the Polygonal Lasso Tool lets us draw as many sides as we need, with as much freedom as
the Lasso Tool gives us to move in any direction we need.

you can choose to retain the cropped pixels to optimize the crop boundaries later. The Crop tool also
provides intuitive methods to straighten a photo while cropping.

wherever you paint.
