Marquee Tool (English)

 Marquee Tool 

What is Marquee Tool: 

                                     The marquee tool is a basic selection tool that allows you to choose your Photoshop layer in a variety of shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, single-pixel vertical and horizontal lines, squares, and circles, among others. The marquee tool makes a rectangle selection by default.

What is Selection: 

                                    Selection means an active area of a canvas. We use a selection to edit part of an image. A selection isolates part of an image so you can work on that area without affecting the rest of the image. 

Types of Marquee Selection:

                                  There are four types of marquee selections, which we can see in Photoshop. We can choose them by right click on the marquee tool. These are:

• Rectangular Marquee Selection:   In this type, we make a four-corner selection that may be a square or a rectangle.
• Elliptical Marquee Tool:   In this tool, we can make a selection without any corner that is maybe a circle or an oval.
• Single Row Marquee Tool:   Single row marquee tool is used to make a 1-pixel wide horizontal selection, which is not quite useful but we should know about it. Also, by pressing the shift + M you can switch to the horizontal marquee tool.
• Single-column Marquee Tool:    Single Column Marquee Tool: Single column marquee tool is used to make a 1-pixel wide vertical selection, which is not quite useful but we should know about it. By pressing the shift + M you can switch to the vertical marquee tool.

Controls of Marquee Tool: 

                                  Here is a list of some additional controls of the marquee tool that are shown on the "control panel".

• New selection:    Select a new area every time we click and the previous one will be deleted automatically.
• Add to selection:     Select a new area every time we click and add to the previous selection.
• Subtract from the selection:   It subtracts the selected area from the previous selection.
• Intersect:    In this selection, only the common area of the new selection and the previous selection will be selected.
• Feather:     Feather is used to increase the softness of selection. Softness increases with the increase of feather and vice versa.
• Style:     In Style option we see three kind of options. These are:

1. Normal Style:     In normal, we can make a selection of any size and ratio. We can increase/decrease the length and width of the selection due to our choice.
2. Fixed Ratio:     In this selection, we can make a selection of only a fixed ratio e.g. 1*1 or 2*1, etc. For example; If we select a 1*1 ratio, It will draw a square every time we want to make a selection.
3. Fixed Size:     In this selection, we can make a selection of only a fixed size. For example; 500*500 px or 500*1000 px etc.

• Anti-Alias:      Anti-aliasing smoothes the jagged edges of a selection by softening the color transition between edge pixels and background pixels. Because only the edge pixels change, no detail is lost. Anti-aliasing is useful when cutting, copying, and pasting selections to create composite images.
