While holding the mouse, drag to the left or the right, "scrubbing" the house with the cursor. Click and hold on the tan house in the middle of the picture. Click the icon that resembles a paintbrush painting a selection in the toolbar to the left of press "W" to select the Quick Selection. Notice as you drag, the selection actually snaps to the boat as you move! Click and hold the mouse button with the cursor pointing at the waterline of the bow (front) of the boat, and drag around the boat slowly. The Magnetic Lasso tool is similar to the Polygonal Tool except it tries to guess the shape you are trying to select and automatically snaps anchor points to the edges of the shape.


When you get to the bottom, release the mouse button-the selection will auto-complete. Click and hold the mouse button, then draw a selection around the small white sailboat that's left of center in the window.

Click the icon that resembles a lasso, or press the "L" key on the keyboard to select the lasso tool. You can use the Lasso tool to draw a freeform selection around a shape or area of your image.
