Workspace for Selection Tool

What is Selection Tool?





The selection tools allow us to select a portion or an area of an image to work on. 
Most of Photoshop's other tools, effects, and filters can then be applied to the selected area changing its color, shape, texture, position and other attributes, while leaving the rest of the image untouched.



In Adobe Photoshop, there are 3 types of Selection Tools:
