Selection Tools & Copy/Paste
1) Selection tools are used to cut out parts of an image. Select the lasso tool in the toolbar.
2) Next click and hold down on the mouse while you drag around the part of your image that you would like to cut out. The green arrows show the line I drew around the dogs head which will be the area I am cutting out.
3) Now when you release the mouse button it will show a crawling dashed line to show that the selection has been made.
4) Next select the move tool from the toolbar.
5) Now when you click and drag on your selection you can move it around. Next you may want to put this part of the picture into another file.
6) Select Copy from the "Edit" menu.
7) Create a new file or open another existing picture (Click here for instructions on creating a new file). And then select "Paste" from the "Edit" menu.
8) The dog's head has been successfully cut out and pasted into another picture.
