Making selections is one of the most important skills in Photoshop. That is because the selected areas can be edited separately. Let's try just one method of selecting.
1. Open your image.
2. From the Toolbox, choose the Polygonal Lasso
Tool.
3. Step by step make needed selection. This is time consuming, but a required part
of working in Photoshop. Each time you click the mouse, it will set an anchor point for
the polygon you are creating. Close the contour up or double-click to complete selection.
Tip. While selecting, use zoom in [Ctrl+"+"] and zoom out [Ctrl+"-"]
shortcuts. It will help you to select precisely.
4. To close the contour up, click on the starting point (movie) or double-click somewhere else.
5. Activate (choose from the Toolbox) the Move
Tool and drag the tower to a safer region on Earth (movie)
6. Activate the Brush
Tool and make a few strokes on the image. As you can see, the Move
and Brush
(as well as all the other tools and commands) affect only the selected area.
