Which statement describes valid uses of the Lasso Tool?

• A. To remove a selected area from an image, to make a selection and use content-aware fill, and to make a non geometric selection
• B. To adjust color balance globally
• C. To create precision curves with the Pen tool
• D. To resize a layer

Answer: (A)

The Lasso tool is about creating freeform selections. It lets you draw around any irregular area, producing a selection that isn’t restricted to geometric shapes. Once you have that selection, you can remove the selected area or fill it with Content-Aware Fill to blend it into the surrounding pixels, or use the selection to edit only that portion. These are all valid uses of the Lasso: making non-geometric selections and applying edits to the selected area. Other actions described—adjusting color balance globally, creating precision curves with the Pen tool, or resizing a layer—are done with different tools or commands and don’t involve making and using a freehand selection.
