These excerpts include sections with Jason covering the Photoshop magic wand, the lasso tool, as well as an exploration of the powerful refine edges tool. This video will not expire.

Almost everything you do in Photoshop involves and isolating selecting pixels. In this fun week, Jason takes us through the fundamental selection tools in Photoshop. You’ve used them all before, but most of us will discover one or two details in here that we didn’t know before. (I’m including myself here. I was surprised to discover one fairly basic feature that I’d overlooked in my years of using Photoshop ~Craig)

As advanced a Photoshop expert as Jason is, he still clearly loves these fundamental tools. I’ve never seen someone enjoy showing the ins-and-outs of the lasso as much as Jason does. What is most striking to me is that when I watch Jason work on real retouching jobs, I realize how important the mastery of these basic tools are for working fast and effectively in Photoshop.
