Another great option in our Lasso Tools is our Lasso Polygonal Selection Tool. Let's have a look at it. As you can see, right here we have our Lasso Tool already selected. We hold over, you can see a Lasso Tool with a quick key L. So if I press down on hit, and hold down, you can see it brings up a couple options here. The next one down is the Polygonal Lasso Tool. So if we click on that, there we go, now we can take our Lasso Tool and select like these mountains here look square. So I could actually select a squarish pattern for quick cut out, like so. Then I could just take it and bring it back over. We're getting close around here whenever that little zero pops up; it means that you've hit the other anchor point. You click it and there you go. There's your selection right there. So your Polygonal Lasso Tool is great for doing square objects or if you just want pull something out really quick to edit it later. Like this boat here, I'll select on it, skip those oars, I don't care them dirty oars. So I'll select down again, select over and bring it up. There, there you go.
