Q1 –
The four kinds of selection tools in Photoshop include the marquee tool, the lasso tool, the magic wand tool, and the object selection tool. In the marquee tool, you make a selection in the shape of either a rectangle, elliptical, or a single row and column. There are three lasso tools that allow the user to either make a freehand selection(lasso tool), connect lines to make a selection(polygonal lasso tool) or make connections that automatically connect to the edge of an image(magnetic lasso tool). Next, the magic wand tool selects the area with the same color. Lastly, the object selection tool automatically finds and selects an object.
Q2 –
The magic wand tool selects an area with a solid color.
The four kinds of selection tools in photoshop are the marquee tool, object selection tool, lasso tool and polygonal tool. Each selection tool has a different function, for example the rectangular marquee tool makes a square or rectangle border around an object. Compared to the elliptical marquee tool that makes an oval or a circle border around an object. The lasso tool select object free hand and polygonal tool select an object to make straight edges. Finally the object selection tool, can select a thing in a photo like a person, place or thing. The selection tool that only pick solid color is the magic wand tool, it selects an area and then you can change that selected area to a different color.
