I hope you’re referring to Photoshop Elements. If so, you’re in the wrong forum…Elements is down the hall.

The Lasso is not a drawing tool ordinarily. I think you are leaving something out. Also, what is the "Output Level"? Are you talking about Levels? That would not affect a Lasso selection. Pixels are required.
it’s photoshop 6.
PHOTOSHOP 6 or Photoshop Elements 6?
It’s regular photoshop 6. If you’ve got a layer selected and go to Layer>Adjust>Levels, that’s what i’m trying to alter.
Let’s say I have two layers. If I’m using the line tool on one layer, and then go to ajust the Upper Output Level of the second layer to ‘0’ it makes that layer turn all black.
However, if instead of using the line tool I use the polygon lasso tool to draw some items, trying to change the level of the other layer does not work in the same manner as above.
Are you selecting any pixels with the Polygon Lasso?

the lasso tools aren’t drawing tools. they’re selection tools. use the line tool, pen tool, brush or some other drawing tool.
Well, I need to draw a polygon. Basically I’m trying to do some light sabre effects, and in some frames it’s fanning so a simple line won’t work well.
if you can get the "shape" you need with the polygon lasso tool, you can then use edit> stroke to apply brush like effects to your selection…
