Also, if you’re using a mouse, the stroke size is automatically maxed out to the brush size.Īnd here is the selection area when you switch from the Deselect tool over to, say, Marquee. Also, if you select an area with Marquee, Lasso, or Magic Wand, you can use this tool to further edit the area by taking away from that selection area. As with the selection brush, pressure effects the size of the stroke, and this is the other reason for why the Select brush is such an amazing tool for selection, because if you make an error with the selection brush, you can then bring out the Deselect brush and remove the selection.

Yeah, not really much to say…those holes in the selection were made with the deselect brush. Moving this brush over selected areas, removes the selection. When using this tool, the selected area will look the same as it does with the selection brush, effectively, this brush is just the eraser for the selection tools and brush. Now for the other tool, the Deselect tool. It is a VERY good tool, and is VERY useful for selection. If you switch over to the one of the other similar selection tools, like Marquee, then the area covered in blue will turn into the selected area with that tool, this tool is amazing for selecting very specific areas.

If you use the Marquee tool to select an area then move over to the Select or Deselect brush, the selected area will turn blue and you can change it as you see fit. If you use a mouse, then the stroke size is automatically maxed out to the brush size. Pressure sensitivity with this brush effects only the size of the strokes, as that’s the only thing to be effected. The area covered in blue is the area selected, the program somtimes decides this for the area covered in purple on the outline, I’m not entirely sure how it decides this though. Effectively, the area you you brush over is coloured in a blue transparent colour, with a purple outline. To show an example of this brush, here it is. There’s really not to much to this brush, it’s essentially a selection tool (Like Marquee select or Lasso select) in the form of a brush. Today it’s the Selection brush that I’ll be going over, I may go over the Deselect brush as well, because there’s not much at all to that.
