Range Selection Tool

What is the Selection Tool?

The Selection tool is a tool that allows you to freely select a range of areas. You can paint only in the selected area, leaving the rest of the canvas untouched.

Let’s use the Selection Tool.

Tap the icon on the toolbar to activate the Selection Tool.

Tap where you want on the canvas, hold and drag. Release your finger when a black square line encloses the area you want to select.
When the area definition is complete, a “Deselect” button will appear on the canvas.
