Straightening and cropping the image in Photoshop What do they do? If you select one of them and click once on the image you will have a 1px selection row or column.Installing Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge I almost never use the Single Row Marquee tool or the Single Column Marquee Tool but maybe if you’re a web designer you’ll have a use for them. These little shortcuts for adding, subtracting and intersecting with existing selections apply to almost all selection tools so I won’t be repeating them anymore. If you’re subtracting from a selection a little minus sign will appear at the right of the tool’s icon and a little X for intersecting. Holding Alt before dragging will subtract from an existing selection and holding Alt and Shift will intersect with an existing selection. If after you see the + sign next to the cursor you release and press Shift key you will create perfect circles or squares. To add to an existing selection press and hold Shift BEFORE using the tool – you’ll see a little + sign next to the tool cursor. If you want to move the selection while creating it, hold Space. If you want to create perfect circles or squares hold Shift while dragging with the respective tool. The Rectangular Marquee Tool is used for making rectangular selections and the Elliptical Marquee tool is used for making elliptical selections.
