Unit 4: Selecting Tools in Photoshop
Marquee Style Box Notes
The style box is a drop-down list with three options. Normal allows you to create selections as
you please. A fixed-ratio selection forces every selection to match that ratio. Ratios of 1:1 make
squares and perfect circles. The fixed height allows you to specify a height and width (in pixels)
for each new selection made.

Elliptical Marquee Tool
As the name states, this tool can create selections in the form of ellipses and circles. While
dragging with the elliptical marquee tool, pressing down the shift key creates a perfect circle.

Use the space bar to drag the selection into place while still holding down the mouse button.
