This tutorial covers the technique of understanding what a selection is and how to make them and use them effectively

If you look at how many ways Photoshop gives us to create selections it should be an indicator of how important they are to our photography. Here we first explain what a selection is with simple demonstrations and then we apply those selections to real projects. We use the freehand lasso tool, the magic wand, the polygonal lasso tool and the Elliptical marquee tool in our practical demos.
