Using The Marquee Tools

The marquee tools let you select rectangles, ellipses, rounded rectangles (ImageReady), and 1-pixel rows and columns. By default, a selection border is dragged from its corner.

To use the marquee tools:

1. Select a marquee tool.
2. In the options bar, specify whether to add a new selection, add to a selection, subtract from a selection, or select an area intersected by other selections.
3. Specify a feathering setting in the options bar. Turn anti-aliasing on or off for the       rounded rectangle or elliptical marquee.
4. For the rectangle, rounded rectangle, or ellip-tical marquee, choose a style in the options bar.
5. For aligning your selection to guides, a grid, slices, or document bounds, do one of the following to snap your selection.
6. Do one of the following to make a selection:

• With the rectangle, rounded rectangle, or elliptical marquee, drag over the area you want to select. Hold down Shift as you drag to constrain the marquee to a square or circle. To drag a marquee from its center, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) after you begin dragging.
• With the single row or single column marquee click near the area you want to select, and then drag the marquee to the exact location. If no marquee is visible, increase the magnification of your image view.
