Introduction to Composition 2

Lasso Tool (L)

Lasso tool allows us to draw and pinpoint areas of document, preferably used with a graphic tablet. There are 3 different lasso tools:

  • Lasso (where we trace it manually, according to our preference)
  • Polygonal Lasso (a lasso tool with sharp edges)
  • Magnetic lasso (like magnet, it sticks to the object as we go)

To create a path from scratch, the fewer points, the smoother it will be. It is versatile to create extremely precise shapes and paths.

Pen tool

Layer

Layers are used for non-destructive editing, meaning, we will not destroy the original image by putting layers in the file.
