Is there a magnetic lasso


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @the wall. :)

 

Magnetic lasso mode is quite well hidden! When you choose the Freehand Selection Tool (on the same toolbar flyout as the Rectangular Marquee Tool) the Context toolbar acquires 'Type' buttons so that you can choose between freehand, polygonal and magnetic mode.

Once in Magnetic mode, click a start point and then release the mouse button. Trace the mouse around the area to be selected and right click out of active selection mode when you return to the beginning point. The "string of beads" means it's working. Took me a bit of fumbling to find it too,
