The Selection Brush Tool in Photoshop is located in the Tools panel.
Locating the Selection Brush Tool
To find the Selection Brush Tool, follow these steps:
- Open Photoshop: Launch the Adobe Photoshop application on your computer.
- Locate the Tools Panel: The Tools panel is usually on the left side of the Photoshop window. If it is not visible, you can access it via the Window menu by clicking Tools.
- Identify the Selection Brush Icon: The Selection Brush Tool icon looks like a paintbrush with a dashed selection circle overlaid.
- Click to Select: Once you find the icon, click on it to activate the Selection Brush Tool.
Understanding the Selection Brush Options
Once you've selected the Selection Brush Tool, you'll notice that there are two key options available at the top of the Photoshop window, as noted in the provided reference:
- Add: (Default) Allows you to add to your selection.
- Subtract: Allows you to remove from your selection.
Using the Options
- Adding to a Selection: By default, the tool is set to Add. When you paint over an area, Photoshop will add this to the current selection.
- Subtracting from a Selection: If you want to remove parts from your selection, select the Subtract option at the top. Then paint over the areas you wish to deselect.
By using the Selection Brush Tool and understanding these two key options, you can easily create selections in Photoshop.
