Selection Tools - Ulead GIF ANIMATOR 5 User Manual

Notes:
• In the Object Manager Panel, you can also directly click there to select objects.
• As you select objects, the Object Manager Panel highlights the active objects in blue accordingly so
you can also directly work on these objects in the Object Manager Panel.
• To help you easily identify the currently selected object(s), the mouse cursor becomes black as you
move the mouse over the selected object(s).
Selection Tools create a selection of any shape directly on an object using the Rectangle,
Ellipse, Magic Wand, and Lasso Tools. Once a selection is created, you can then edit it with
other tools such as Fill or Paintbrush Tools, or use copy [Ctrl+C] and paste [Ctrl+V] to create
an object right away.
Notes:
• Before creating a selection on an object, select the object first.
• Colors can be applied within the selection area only.
• You can create a selection outside the boundary of an object. If you apply a color to the selection,
the selection area will be merged with the selected object to form a single object.
All four Selection Tools, though producing different shapes, share the same Attribute Toolbar.
Use these options to best suit your needs when creating a selection. Clicking the Selection
Options button also displays a popup menu where you can have more control of a selection.

Tip: Clicking the Selection Options button
and choosing None clears the existing
selection, without affecting the effect (such as
applying colors) you previously applied on the
selection area.
