Correct answer Cedric Marchessoux

Hi

Painter does not yet a Lasso selection tool. It has the polygon fill:

Hey i had the same issue as you, i wanted to move something but no lasso, the best way to go about it is to put an anchor point on the mask, duplicate the layer add a black mask and under the black mask add a fill layer and chose the anchor point, since its in a fill you can easily move the mask and you can just group the layers and add another mask to make sure it affects only where you want it to.
