QUICK SELECTION TOOL
Paint over objects to select them in seconds
This is one of the most useful selection tools on offer in Photoshop. It works like a paintbrush, so – like any brush-based tool in Photoshop – you can use the ] and [ bracket keys to resize it. As you paint over an area, the tool will seek out edges and similar pixels, so as long as the area or object contrasts with it’s surroundings, making a selection is a cinch.
