A rather rough selection

Adding new selected areas to an existing selection.

When using lasso to select an object, some parts of the object and its proximity may be selected either way. You can correct these defects by pressing Shift or Ctrl keys while using lasso. Here is an example: While pressing Shift, draw the new border with the lasso, close the selection including a part of the first selection. As soon as you release the mouse button, both selections are added You could so substract the exceeding selection by pressing Ctrl.

	Note
	To correct selection defects precisely, use the Quick Mask.
