How to select things.
||There are four main selection tools we will be working with in these tutorials.|
| ||The main selection tool is the first tool. It selects entire paths or shapes together. The video below shows what you can do with this tool.|
| ||The next selection tool is the direct selection tool. This tool is extremely useful because you can select one point in a path or object and manipulate it. A good way to move a point a small amount is to use the arrow keys. |
|The tools below the selection tool is the magic wand tool. Use this to select one region of the same color.|
| ||This is the lasso tool. With this tool you can select large groups of objects by drawing a path around the objects you want to select.|
When resizing items, you may find the Shift key useful. Holding this key while resizing an object will constrain it to its original ratio.
