Magnetic Lasso Tool

[field4kids]

Is there a way to move (expand or contract) the lasso'd area after creating a selection with the magnetic lasso tool? For instance, when I crop, I can the make it larger or smaller by selecting one of the sides.

Is there a way to do this with the magnetic lasso tool?

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,

Yes... on the tool bar that appears when you use the Magnetic Lasso Tool, there are options to "Add To Selection" and "Remove From Selection". Just the select you want:

Hi Larry ...

Pnce you have made the selection then you are able to modify it ... but only to expand or contract it. (Select>modify) Its really not very versatile ..

If you have Grant's tools installed then you do get a little more flexibility by using transform selction ...

Here is a link to Grant's tooos :)
