PhotoLine Tip 18: How to edit a lasso
 
1. Start with an image of your choice.  
 
2. Create a Lasso, for example using the AutoMask function.  
 

3. Your Lasso is not perfect, but you don't want to create a new one, because the rest of it is very fine. There are two ways to edit the effect:  

4a. Press the SHIFT key and draw a free lasso a little greater around the defect  
 
When you are ready, press the right mouse button. 

4b. When it's more difficult, select Layer/Convert Lasso to Layer. Now you have a vector layer and the tool bar changes to the vector toolbar.  
 
Here you can select the Nippers and cut away the points. 
 
You can even move the points with the Arrow or create new points with the Hammer
When the path looks like you want, select Layer/Convert Layer to Lasso

5. The result is a good placed lasso
