Making selections in Adobe Photoshop Ep9/33 [Adobe Photoshop for Beginners]


https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B25I4ZzJepM/hqdefault.jpg



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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. hey, thank you for the amazing tutorials!!
    I have an issue, when I press CTRL + D to deselect the selected area it does not work for me.. Same goes with CTRL + Shift + N, for layers. Could you please
    tell me why is that? Thank you

  4. You are saving my life with these, man. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a competent and comprehensible way. I'm sure it was a lot of work to put these together, and I really appreciate your generosity. I've subscribed to your channel and will be liking each one of these videos as I watch. Again, thank you so much, and my best wishes to you!
