6. Marquee Tools  The Photoshop marquee tool, a relatively simple feature, is essential for several tasks. At the most basic level, the tool is used to select areas of an image, which can then be copied, cut or cropped.  There are four types of marquee tools:  Rectangular  Elliptical  Single row  Single column

7. Lasso Tools  The lasso tool creates a custom, free-hand selection. It is usually used to cut out, or select specific sections of a pre-existing picture.  There are three types of lasso tool:  Lasso  Polygonal lasso  Magnetic lasso

8. Magic/Quick selection tools  Clicking with the magic wand tool creates a selection on the image. The selection depends on the tolerance setting located on the options bar as well as the contiguous check box.  The quick selection tool is used to ‘paint’ a selection on an image either to delete the background or to isolate an object from its background.
