I’m working on a family photo for Christmas cards, and want to move one of the people closer to another [via layering] so the composition’s more balanced.
I know how to use the magnetic lasso to isolate the person, but can’t figure out how to grab and then reposition some of its points after I’ve closed/finished the magnetic lasso path. As soon as the path’s closed [L click], all the ‘grab points’ disappear and the path’s replaced by the ‘moving ants’ marquee line. The magic wand works, but the adding/subtracting parts of it makes the magnetic lasso seem much quicker in this particular application. The instruction manual’s no help, at least that I can find.
If I could just grab and move the magnetic lasso points before the ‘ants’ appear!
Grrrrrr… simple stuff, but I can’t remember or find the solution.
