How To Use The Quick Selection Tool In Adobe Photoshop?

Using the quick selection tool and select and mask options in Photoshop is not very difficult, and it is an essential tool in the software. In this software, I will teach you how to use it efficiently.

Step 1:

On the left we have the quick selection tool. Click on the quick selection tool.

Step 2:

Make sure you got the right size depending on the image. So here at the top you can pick the size.

Step 3:

If you click select and mask, you’ll have a preview of the cropped image and on the right under view.

Step 4:

You can change the overlay colour. The default is usually red with lower opacity.

Step 5:

Click OK and now we can use our cropped image. We can see the original image and the cropped image separately.

And this is how easy it was to use the quick selection tool! Check out more of our videos for easy tutorials such as this.
