SELECTING WITH RECTANGULAR MARQUEE:
1. Open the file Start01.psd. Choose File > Save As and save the file as Work01.psd.
2. Click the rectangular marquee tool in the Tool palette. Drag it from the top left to the bottom right corner
of the melon to create a rectangular selection around it. You can move a selection border after you have
created it by positioning the marquee tool within the selection and dragging. Notice this changes the location
of the selection border, it does not affect the size or shape of the selection.
3. Deselect the selection by either choosing Select > Deselect or by clicking anywhere outside the selection
border. Reselect the melon using the rectangular marquee tool.
SELECTING WITH ELLIPTICAL MARQUEE:
1. Select the Zoom tool and click twice on the blueberry to zoom to a 300% view.
2. Hold down the mouse button on the rectangular marquee tool and drag downward to select the Elliptical
marquee tool.
3. Move the pointer over the blueberry and drag it diagonally from the top left to the bottom right edge of the
blueberry to create a selection. Do not release the mouse button.
REPOSITIONING A SELECTION BORDER
1. Still holding the mouse button hold down the spacebar and drag. The border moves as you drag.
2. Release the spacebar (but not the mouse button) and drag again. Notice that when you drag without the
spacebar the size and shape of the selection changes, but its point of origin does not.
3. When the selection border is positioned and sized correctly, release the mouse button. Even after that you can
still position the selection border by placing the pointer inside the border and dragging.
SELECTING FROM A CENTER POINT
1. Sometimes it is easier to make selections by starting from the center point of the object to the outside edge.
Choose Select > Deselect to discard the selection.
2. Position the mouse pointer approximately on the center of the blueberry. Press ALT and start dragging
towards the outer edge. Notice the selection is centered over its starting point.
3. When you have the entire blueberry selected, release first the mouse button and then the ALT key. If
necessary adjust the selection border using one of the methods you learned earlier.
MOVING A SELECTION
1. Make sure the blueberry is selected. Then select the Move tool and position the pointer within the blueberry’s
selection. The pointer becomes an arrow with a pair of scissors.
2. Drag the blueberry onto the carrot slice.
3. Choose Select > Deselect. Choose File > Save.
