                   Magnetic Lasso Tool



                  as you move your mouse pointer around the object. It makes the selection on the edges

                  and clings to it. It works best when there is a high contrast between the foreground and
                  background elements, such as a basket of fruits against a light-coloured background.

          98      Perform the following steps to use the Magnetic Lasso Tool:

                  Step 1:  Open an Image in Photoshop.
                  Step 2:  Select the Magnetic Lasso Tool from the Tools panel.

                  Step 3:  Click anywhere on the edge of the object to start the selection.
                  Step 4:   Move your mouse pointer along the edges of the object. Small squares called anchor

                            points appear along the selection line to indicate where the tool is detecting the
                            edges.

                  Step 5:   To close the selection, return to the starting point. Similar to the Polygonal Lasso
                            Tool, a small circle appears next to your cursor indicating that you are at the
                            correct place to close the selection.

                  Step 6:  Click on the starting point to finalise your selection. Your object is selected.
