selection tools: Photoshop Selection Tools: This Post Is NOT About The Magentic Lasso - 12/05/07 06:52 AM
The next tool up in my little series on Photoshop Selection tools is the magnetic lasso.  This is NOT that post, but it is related.

Caution: CAT BLOG AHEAD

Including random thoughts on life, art, business, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate.

Enjoy!
