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.
