" My name is Dan Kallenberger. I am an instructor at a technical college teaching Visual Communications and Photoshop as well as other Adobe products. I am going to be showing you Photoshop CS2 today. Right now, I’m going to use the selection tool I’ve talked a little bit about that. You can use the marquee tool as a rectangle and you can simply cut a portion out of an image. I just used shortcuts but I will try to do that again without the shortcuts. Basically what you can do with this is you can do the marquee tool. You draw around an area that you want to cut out, you can do edit copy, edit paste and it’ll lay it into a new layer over here in the layers menu. So you can move that around and enlarge it if you want. Another way you can use selection tools of course you’ve got the other options. You got circles so if you wanted to cut this out and do it this way you can actually cut out the sun and have that and use a specialty background, there’s other ways you can cut out images. The marquee, also there’s a lasso so you can use the lasso tool and you can kind of cut around things if you wanted to do this that way copy and paste and we can see that it reveals that. If we wanted to do a marquee tool or a polygonal, which means that you just draw lines you click down as a random. Then when you’ll join it at the end it’ll make your selection tool you can copy and paste out of that and make specialty photographs, so that’s the selection tool."
