The Lasso Tool allow you to draw and pinpoint specific areas of a document.

Fig 1.2 Lasso Tool

There are three different tool options: Lasso ,Polygonal Lasso  and Magnetic Lasso.

After that, we learned how to use the lasso tool in a video.

2.Pen Tool

There are four ways to use the Pen Tool：Straight line paths，U shaped curves，Simple S curves and Complex S curves.

Next, we watched three videos to learn how to use the Pen Tool. Next, the pen tool was used to compare the lasso tool to analyze the commonality of the two.Although commonly used to make selections, the pen tool was not natively made as a “selection tool”.

3.Magic wand tool

The pen tool is also used to introduce the Magic Wand tool, which can be clicked and automatically selected for the object area.

4.Layering

Layers are different images stacked on top of each other. You can use each layer without affecting another one to make adjustments. 

The advantage of using Layers is that you can save a Photoshop file with all the layers included. This means you can use layers for non-destructive editing. 

Your adjustments in Photoshop will never destroy the original image.
