You can make selections in many different ways inPhotoshop CS3. You can select a rectangular or ovalarea with the Marquee tools, select freeform orgeometric areas with the Lasso tools, or use theMagic Wand tool to select similarly colored areas.You can also use the Quick Selection tool as shown inTask #16 to select specific areas and add to orsubtract from selections; however, some images canstill require a more detailed or precise selection tool.Using the Brush tool in the Quick Mask mode, youcan make a detailed selection or adjust any previously selected area.The Quick Mask mode is an editing mode in whichprotected areas are covered with a translucentcolored mask. Painting with the default red colordirectly on the areas you want can make selectingdetail more precise, while enabling you to see whatyou are selecting. Using this masking technique, youare actually masking the areas you paint, so youmust inverse the selection before making anyadjustments. The areas you painted in are thenselected, and the rest is now masked.
