P: Suggestion to Improve Photoshop’s Freehand Lasso Tool

[temosmemos]

Photoshop keeps evolving - new AI tools, smart features, and better performance with each version. But one thing still feels very old: The Freehand Lasso Tool.

Right now, if you release your mouse or pencil while drawing a selection, the tool connects back to the starting point - ending the selection too early. There’s a Space bar trick, but it’s not very intuitive.

In comparison, tools like Adobe Fresco or Procreate allow you to release and continue from the last point. It’s easier, modern, and much more comfortable for detailed work. And, yes, I mean the Desktop Version of Adobe Fresco.

Since this smooth behavior already exists in Fresco, I believe Photoshop could also benefit from it. It would bring a small but very meaningful upgrade to the overall experience.

Respectfully, Temo

Great idea! I've often wanted a smoothing option on the lasso tool, much like when you paint with a brush and have the option to smooth the stroke. Most times the sensitivity with a mouse or wacom tablet is just too much for a clean selecion.

Many thanks for the reply, I really hope is feature gets upgraded.
