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

Anti-aliasing

This toggles whether or not to give selections feathered edges. Some people prefer hard-jagged edges for their selections.
