Outline Selection Tool¶
Make Selections by drawing freehand around the canvas. Click and drag to draw a border around the section you wish to select.
Hotkeys and Sticky keys¶
- R sets the selection to ‘replace’ in the tool options, this is the default mode.
- A sets the selection to ‘add’ in the tool options.
- S sets the selection to ‘subtract’ in the tool options.
- Shift +
sets the subsequent selection to ‘add’. You can release the Shift key while dragging, but it will still be set to ‘add’. Same for the others.
- Alt +
sets the subsequent selection to ‘subtract’.
- Ctrl +
sets the subsequent selection to ‘replace’.
- Shift + Alt +
sets the subsequent selection to ‘intersect’.
Note
You can switch the behaviour of the Alt key to use Ctrl instead by toggling the switch in the General Settings
Tool Options¶
- Anti-aliasing
- This toggles whether or not to give selections feathered edges. Some people prefer hard-jagged edges for their selections.
