Using the Marquee Tool

The Marquee tool selects rectangular portions of the bitmap.

With the bitmap selected, from the Bitmap Edit toolbar:

1. Select the Marquee tool.
2. Click and drag the cursor over the bitmap.
3. After creating one marquee, you can add or subtract areas:
   • Hold Shift and drag to add additional sections to the selection marquee. A small + appears near the bottom of the cursor to indicate Add.
   • Hold Ctrl (command in Macintosh) and drag to subtract sections from the selection marquee. A small - appears near the bottom of the cursor to indicate Subtract.
4. Once drawn, click inside the marquee and drag it to move the marquee to the desired position.
