This is a basic tutorial that explains the use of the Lasso Tool in PSP.  The Lasso Tool is used to select portions of an image you wish to modify with other filters and image altering tools.  It is one of the most used tools while processing images with PSP.

My demonstration tutorial of the technique is scaled for a browser resolution of 1024 X 768.  If the viewer is using Internet Explorer for a browser, I suggest pressing F11 before starting the tutorial.  This will allow the browser window to show the tutorial without having to use the scroll bars.  After the tutorial finishes, press F11 again to restore the browser display to normal.
