Using the Lasso selection tool

When you use the Erase tool in Photo Studio, the Brush is the default tool for selecting an object to remove. However, switching to the lasso tool can give you more control and make it easier to select certain objects. The lasso tool allows you to draw a free-hand line around any object in your photo.

Step 1 – Open the Erase tool

From the Photo Studio start screen, click the Remove objects tab, then click “Edit”. This will open a new window containing the erase tools.

Step 2 – Select the lasso

Once inside the Erase tool, select the lasso from the options menu.

Step 3 – Select the object to remove

Holding down the left mouse button, draw an outline around the object to remove. Finalize the selection by coming back to the start point. When the selection is closed, it will highlight.

Step 4 – Erase

Once you have selected the object, click “Erase” to remove it.

Step 5 – Save your edit

Now that the object has been removed, click “Save a copy” to return to the main Photo Studio workspace and continue editing your photo.
