Expand/contract selection in Fresco?

[daydreamdoodles]

Is there a way to expand your selection in Fresco? When I select my pencil layer with the magic wand, in PS, I usually expand the selection so the colour on the layer beneath it goes right under the pencil line but I can't seem to do this in Fresco which makes life harder! I know you can transform/scale it but it doesn't work the same way as expanding outwards.

Am I missing something as I'm new to Fresco or is it not possible?

Thanks in advance!

After your initial selection becomes marching ants you can draw solid lines with the lasso tool. A little panel appears with the options to Cancel or Close lasso. Click the Close option and your selection expands.

Is there a way to expand or shrink the selection by a few pixels (like in Photoshop)? If not, do you know if this feature will be added soon? Thanks.

Hi thanks so much for your reply! I didn't know you could do that so that's really helpful! Actually, I just solved the issue myself! If you press the circle twice when the transform tool is selected, it allows you to transform the selection from the centre outwards which allows the matching ants to expand if you drag outwards to scale up!
