The Selection Tool is a feature commonly found in graphic design and photo editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop and GIMP. It allows users to choose specific areas of an image for editing, copying, or deleting. By using this tool, you can isolate parts of an image, making it easier to apply effects or adjustments only to the selected area. There are various types of selection tools, including the Rectangular Marquee Tool, Lasso Tool, and Magic Wand Tool. Each type offers different methods for selecting areas, whether by drawing freehand, selecting shapes, or choosing pixels based on color. This versatility makes the Selection Tool essential for precise editing tasks.
