In this tutorial we are going to look at how to use one of the most common tools in Photoshop, the selection tools. As you begin to create in Photoshop, you will find that one of the most fundamental tools are the selection tools.
The selection tools allows you to make and control particular selections in your canvas area. The created selections work as a focus which will allow you to make a whole series of
creative decisions.
Enjoy

Best teacher ever, can not believe this is free course. Thank you !!!!
I am doing some selection with pen tool. When I do Alt + Click on the last anchor, for smooth selection, the cursor changes to direct selection tool as soon as i press Alt key. why is that happening? it was working fine before a while.
I owe my life to you! If you want I can be your slave.
You make the world better place to live. Capitalism runs only after profit – mankind cannot be a constant focus of getting out money. I love your socialism in sharing such good materials to push the world go forward and better. That is everyone deserves to be happy.
