bitey Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I'm a concept artist and often start a piece by blocking out large shapes using the Lasso tool. However, when drawing organic shapes, Photo's Lasso tool does not give the clean edges that Photoshop does. I whipped up THIS quick demonstration video, showing results of the Photoshop lasso vs the Photo lasso. Gackt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted January 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hi @bitey, Photoshop might have some sort of stabiliser, and also they do not seem to take into account the pixels, and they average your selection based on the pixels AFTER you make the selection. We lock the selection on pixels, so there is no "on the fly smoothing" applied. I have moved this to feature requests. Thanks, Gabe.

bitey Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 thank you @GabrielM for the explanation. I get much smoother Lasso selections with Lazy Nezumi's "Speed Smooth" activated, so it looks like you're probably right about Photoshop using some kind of default stabilising behind the scenes. For now I'll use Lazy Nezumi with Photo's Lasso tool. Gackt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the "jaggy effect" on other types of selections, for the same reason of "selection lock on pixels" and it often requires editing of the mask, to remove this irregularity. Smoothing the selection still keeps a very "wavy" line, unless considerable smoothing is being applied, but then the selection gets affected everywhere. So, this should be improved in a future release. Thanks for making AF better! Gackt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Same here, as a concept artist AP has room to grow. Maybe photo hobbyists don't care so much, but concept artists use lasso quite often So having a dependable lasso tool is essential. Hopefully you gets addressed by the team bitey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
