Selecting an area in the shape of a polygon
To select an area in the shape of a polygon whose sides aren’t necessarily the
same length, follow these steps:
1 Click the Polygon tool to select it.
The Polygon tool becomes highlighted, and the pointer changes to a crosshair
when it’s over the image.
2 Click at the point where you want to begin the first side of the selection.
3 Without holding down the mouse button, move the crosshair pointer to create one side
of the selection.
4 When the side of the selection is the length you want it, click to fix its length.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional side.
6 To finish selecting the area, double-click the starting point.
If you don’t click the starting point exactly, PhotoFlash completes the
selection by drawing a straight line between the point where you started and
the point where you double-clicked.
