Selection Tools in Photoshop

Lasso Tool
The Lasso Tool is 100% freeform. Simply grab it and start drawing with your mouse or track pad to make a selection. Obviously, the result is going to be rudimentary at best and even tends to be quite sloppy.

Polygonal Lasso Tool
The Polygonal Lasso Tool allows you to click from point to point to gradually build a selection. Selections made with this tool are purely comprised of straight edges. If you don’t mind some tedious clicking, you can pull off a primitive curve, but for the most part you’ll definitely want to stick to hard edges.


Magnetic Lasso Tool
The Magnetic Lasso Tool is a lot like a cross between the Polygonal Lasso Tool and the Magic Wand Tool. It allows you to build your selection incrementally, but in a fairly automatic fashion. Simply move your mouse along an edge and the MLT will give its best guess for outlining that edge. You can let the tool build
your points automatically or manually click if there’s a specific point that you think needs to be dropped.
