Selection Tool

Use the Selection Tool to select a portion of the image for copy, cutting, pasting, image effects, etc. Selections may be rectangular, elliptical, polygonal or freehand. You can use this tool for moving selected areas within an image.

The Selection Tool Properties allow you to select from one of four different shapes:

Rectangle Selection
Rectangle Selection selects a rectangular area. (Holding <SHIFT> creates a square. If you are selecting multiple areas of your image, this only works for the first selection.)
Ellipse Selection
Ellipse Selection selects an elliptical or circular shaped area. (Holding <SHIFT> creates a circle.If you are selecting multiple areas of your image, this only works for the first selection.)
Free Hand Selection
Free Hand Selection allows you to define any closed loop you specify. The loop automatically closes when you release the mouse.
Polygon Selection
Polygon Selection allows you to define any polygonal shaped area, the sides of which are all straight lines. The area must be a closed shape. Each time you left-click, a new line starts. Continue clicking to complete the shape. Double-click to finish the selection.

To select multiple areas of your image, hold down <SHIFT> as you select multiple areas of your capture.

You can set the Paste Mode of the Selection Tool to use either an opaque background or to set the background color as transparent, allowing you to move only the image portion of your selection without moving a solid color background with it.
