140 CHAPTER 5 Selecting To deselect selections: Do one of the following: • Choose Select > Deselect. • If you are using the rectangle marquee, rounded rectangle marquee (ImageReady), elliptical marquee, or lasso tool, click anywhere in the image outside the selected area. To reselect the most recent selection: Choose Select > Reselect. Using the marquee tools The marquee tools let you select rectangles, ellipses, rounded rectangles (ImageReady), and 1-pixel rows and columns. By default, a selection border is dragged from its corner. To use the marquee tools: 1 Select a marquee tool: • Rectangle marquee ( ) to make a rectangular selection. • Rounded rectangle marquee ( ) to select a rounded rectangle such as a Web-page button (ImageReady). • Elliptical marquee ( ) to make an elliptical selection. • Single row ( ) or single column ( ) marquee to define the border as a 1-pixel-wide row or column. 2 In the options bar, specify whether to add a new selection ( ), add to a selection( ), subtract from a selection ( ), or select an area intersected by other selections ( ). 3 Specify a feathering setting in the options bar. Turn anti-aliasing on or off for the rounded rectangle or elliptical marquee. (See "Softening the edges of a selection" on page 147.) 4 For the rectangle, rounded rectangle, or elliptical marquee, choose a style in the options bar: • Normal to determine marquee proportions by dragging. • Constrained Aspect Ratio to set a height-towidth ratio. Enter values (decimal values are valid) for the aspect ratio. For example, to draw a marquee twice as wide as it is high, enter 2 for the width and 1 for the height. • Fixed Size to specify set values for the marquee's height and width. Enter pixel values in whole numbers. Keep in mind that the number of pixels needed to create a 1-inch selection depends on the resolution of the image. (See "About image size and resolution" on page 92.) 5 For aligning your selection to guides, a grid, slices, or document bounds, do one of the following to snap your selection: • (Photoshop) Choose View > Snap or View > Snap To then choose a command from the submenu. The marquee selection can snap to a document bound and more than one Photoshop Extra. This is controlled in the Snap To menu. (See "Working with snap" on page 152.) • (ImageReady) Choose View > Snap To > Guides.
