Color Picker: The most complex of all color selection options, the Color Picker lets you specify 

numerical values for RGB and HSV color selection.  While it may seem difficult, you’ll probably 
want to play around and see what kind of colors you can create. 

Select Tool: This tool allows you to select a certain section of an image.  You may want to edit 
only a part of an image, or crop out a specific area; this tool will help you choose that area.  

Right-clicking the icon gives you the following choices: 

•  Ellipse Select 

•  Square Select 

•  Circle Select 

•  Rectangle Select 

 

Once you’ve selected the desired shape, click and drag on the image.  You’ll notice a transparent 

shape appear.  The shape will vary depending on the option you’ve chosen (the default is 
Rectangle Select). 

 

Don’t worry about making your selected area perfect the first time.  If you make a mistake, just 

click the Undo Tool on the Quick Access Bar and start over.  Or, if your selected area is roughly 

the size you want but not in the right place, click and drag within the area to move the entire 

selection shape. 
 

Select Tool Options: The following appears in the Tool Options Palette when using the 

Select Tool: 

 

 

 

•  Use the pull-down to select the shape of the Select Tool. 

•  New: Creates a new selection whenever you click, automatically removing any other 

selection. 
Add: Lets you add to the currently selected area. 

Subtract: Any area that you select will be removed from the currently selected area. 

•  Draw from Center: typically, clicking and dragging from one corner of the area to 

another create a selected area.  Checking this box creates the selected area from the 

inside out; as you click and drag, the shape will appear from the center and expand 

outward.
