Making Selections with the Lasso Tool
Use the Lasso tool when you want to select shapes that are too close to shapes you don’t want to select. This tool allows you to draw around the shape, selecting everything contained in the shape you draw. In the default mode, you can draw a freeform lasso around the object you want to select. You can also choose the Polygon mode for defining the selected area with a series of straight-line segments.
