Photoshop’s power of selection

“

- There are two ways to modify an image in Photoshop. You can edit the entire thing at once, which is known as a global modification, or you can adjust a specific region, which is a selective modification. Selective modifications are the real power of Photoshop. After all, every three dollar app lets you modify an entire image at once. But Photoshop is special in that it lets you color correct one area while keeping another the same. You can move a photographic detail to an independent layer, or even into another background. You can photograph a scene one way and then turn it into something altogether different in post. Everything in a photograph, every object, every person, every place, becomes another asset that you can mix and match as much as you like. Photoshop offers three categories of selection tools to make your job easier: geometric, free form, and automated. I'll show you all three in this chapter.
