I need some help. I'm tryin to chop of picture of a car to lower it, trying to practice and get better ya know? so, I'm using the polygonal lasso tool to outline the car right, and when i close the lasso or whatever, PS rounds off all my edges, and totally changes the shape of the lasso! what the hell? Maybe thats just the way it is supposed to work, except that the FIRST time i used the polygonal lasso tool it kept its edges... so, naturally, i am confused about the whole situation. if anyone has any tips related to this particular photoshop question, that'd be awesome. didn't find this question in a search, or photoshopjunkie.com or any other tutorial... thanks for your help.

 

is your feather box set higher than 0?

 

yeah... brand new to photoshop so don't know what that does, it's currently at 28 px...

 

figured it out, thanks...

 

the higher the feather is, the more "rounded" the picture will look. if you set it at 0, its rigid.

looks like you know what youre doing

Try the PEN tool. A lil tricky to use but, you'll get the hang off it.

waaaay much better then Poly Tool
