Take control of the Photoshop polygon lasso tool today!



I don’t really use the polygon lasso tool very often, preferring to use paths to make selections from because they are more precise. However, it does have it’s uses – so check out this tip to take complete control over this Photoshop tool!

The polygon lasso tool has it’s uses, but it is sometimes quite awkward to simply draw uniform angled lines with.

Simply hold down shift to make a perfectly straight line as you draw – and if you move the mouse up or down from the original drawing position whilst holding down shift, it will draw in 30 degree increments – sometimes very useful!
