Click on this tool. Afterwards, go to the bottom of your screen to change it to the Polygonal Lasso Tool.
If you can't find it on your screen, press L as a shortcut.
The Polygonal Lasso Tool creates selections with straight edges.
Begin clicking somewhere along the edge of the object or the area you need to select.
Then release your mouse button.
This adds a point, commonly known as an anchor or fastening point, to the document.
As you move the Polygonal Lasso Tool away from the point, you'll see a thin straight line extending out from your mouse cursor, looking a bit like a spider weaving a web with the other end of the line attached to the anchor point.
Click again to add a second point, then release your mouse button.
The line will become fastened to the new point with both points now joined together by a straight line.
Continue moving around the object or area.
Click in to add a new point anywhere where the line needs to change direction, fastening the end of the line to each new point as you go along.
There is no need to keep your mouse button held down as you move from point to point.
Simply click to add a point, release your mouse, and move to the next spot where the line needs to change direction.
Then click to add a new point.
Go all the way around your image and go all the way to where you first made your first click.
