The Polygonal Lasso tool

The regular Lasso tool can be difficult to control with a mouse, but the Polygonal Lasso tool is another easy way to draw a complicated path. It only draws straight lines between clicks of the mouse.
- Select the Polygonal Lasso tool.
- Click once in the image.
- Click a second time and a selection line appears between the two clicks. Every time you click, another straight line connects that point to the previous point.
- To close the path and make the selection, click on the original first-click point. Or double-click—wherever you double-click, that line will snap to the beginning point.
