            MAGNETIC LASSO TOOL

            Magnetic Lasso Tool is an edge detection tool which searches for the edge of the object as you
            move your mouse pointer around the object. It makes the selection on the edges and clings to it.
            It performs best when your image has a lot of contrast between the foreground and background
            elements—for example, a basket full of fruits with a light coloured background. To use the Magnetic
