Magetic lasso tool

The magnetic lasso tool came in very handy with certain elements of my magazine. I used it for four things altogther across the contents and double page spread. On my contents i used it for my picture of kyle and alex and the picture of sophie. This is how i done it

Step one:

I dragged the picture from my documents onto the page. I amde sure i duplicated the background so i had a background copy to.

Step two:

This was when id jut started using the tool. Everytime you click, a black dot appears, you would normally click if your going round a tricky bit, so that the tool sticks, cause although its magnetic it does sometimes wander.

Step three:

After you have gone all the way round, you must get back to the point you started and click over it. Then a dotted line will appear round them which means its finished. Then you click ctrl+c to copy.

Step four:

Once id clicked ctrl+c, i opened a new page and clicked ctrl+v which pasted it onto the page.


This tool really benefitted me because some of the photo's were good but the background didnt fit, so due to this tool i could use it and paste them onto the background i wanted.
