What is the BEST Selection Tool in Photoshop

[@alancolledge1936]

Hi Terry, thank you so much for taking the trouble to make this extra video. It does demonstrate why you would use the pen tool and the quality of selection that can be achieved. Looking forward to your next lesson.

Glad it was helpful Alan. It really is the best tool for accuracy, it just takes time to work with.

Thanks Terry, I really enjoy all your videos...its my first go to, I'm very much a beginner but really enjoying learning this wonderful software 👏👏

You are very welcome Colin. You'll get the hang of it after a little practice and you can get quite proficient.

You bet!

Hi Terry, Do you think it would be an OK technique to do an initial selection using one of the "automated" selection tools (such as the Quick Selection Tool) and then use the Pen Tool to get more accurate selection? Might save a lot of time...

I have tried that. For some subjects it works pretty well, but for many I find myself going back and making so many refinements, I think it takes longer. Best to give it try first, if it works, great. Just learn when you should just start from scratch and take it from the beginning.

Could this be a situation you would OBJECT SELECT and edit with pen?

[@tv510]

Many times, yes, depending on the subject matter.
