    SELECTION TOOL

                     Selection tools are used to select those areas of an image that we wish to modify. A selection isolates
                     a part of an image so that we can work on the highlighted area only without affecting the rest of the
                     image. Krita provides us with different types of selection tools. Let us take a look at how these tools work.

                     RECTANGULAR SELECTION TOOL
                     This tool is used to select a part of an image using rectangular selection.

                     To use the Rectangular Selection Tool, follow the given steps:

                                                                2  Click the left mouse button and drag it over
                                                               the part of the image you want to select.

                            1  Select the Rectangular
                           Selection Tool.

                     The image  gets  selected  and  the  area  inside  the  dashed/dotted  border  (also  referred to  as
                     “marching ants”) represents your selection.

                     You can deselect an image by clicking on the Deselect option in the Select Menu.

                           SHORT KEY  To deselect a selected area: A         SHORT KEY  To reselect a selected area:  D

                                                     +
