Look Ma, TWINS!! (Using the SmartSelect Tool)

4. Click the next selection point on the image. If you feel that the selection marquee is not "snapping" well enough to the edges of the image, adjust the Tolerance option. For this tutorial, the Tolerance value is 4.

Tip: When making the selection points, it's better to make them closer to each other to make the selection more accurate.

5. Continue clicking to create the selection points until you have selected the entire image.

NOTE: If you happen to make a selection "error" just click on the Remove last selection point in the Options panel. (Shortcut: Pressing the Backspace key also can remove the last selection point.) Remember that this will ONLY take you back to the previous selection point before the current one.

6. Once you've completed the selection, click on the red ball. The red ball now becomes a green ball.

NOTE: In the green ball state, you can still make adjustments to the selection in case there are some portions in the image that you missed you can still correct them. Put the pointer over one of the edges in the selection marquee, when the edge turns red or green drag it to "extend" your selection.

7. Click on the green ball once you've made all the necessary adjustments. This makes the selection complete. Now, you can drag the selection to duplicate the image, add it to another image or drag it to the Thumbnail Strip to create a new image.

Look Ma, TWINS!!
