Selections in photoshop



Photoshop selection tools
One of the strongest feature of photoshop is its ability to selectively manipulate images or parts of images. For this to happen, one key thing to do is selection. In this post, i will be uploading content about different selection tools ways to use them effectively in photoshop. Some tutorial videos might be for CS4, but i have checked them and the techniques displayed work the same way in CS5. One of the great adobe design resources for designers is Adobe TV. You can go there and check things out. One major limitation of Adobe TV is that its not a very structured environment (content wise) and seems to be a great place for people with advanced or some knowledge of Adobe design software but may seem a bit confusing and out of reach for beginners.
