Using the Object Select and Selection Brush tools
- [Instructor] Photoshop's Object Selection tool uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help select objects in an image. While I find that sometimes I need to make small refinements to the selection, it can be much quicker than starting from scratch. Plus, Adobe frequently updates the learning model, and I expect it will continue to improve over time. I'm going to start by selecting the Object Selection tool. If I hover over an object in the image, then Photoshop displays any objects that it finds with a pink overlay. If I want to select that object, I simply click in the image area. Now, the tool is set to automatically refresh when any changes are made to the image, but we can also click this icon here in order to manually refresh the Object Finder. If it's too distracting to have on all the time, you can go ahead and uncheck it, but for now, I'll leave it on. If we want to see that all of the objects that Photoshop finds, we can click on this next icon. All right…
