The Editable Rectangular Selection Tool is similar to the normal Rectangle Selection tool except that you are provided an opportunity to make adjustments to the selection's position and size before it's actually created.


Position the mouse cursor over your picture where you want the top left corner of the selection rectangle to begin. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor to where you would like the opposite corner. When your rectangle reaches the desired size and shape, release the mouse button. After you release the mouse button, the screen below will appear allowing you to move, rotate and resize the selection rectangle:



When you are satisfied with the position and size of the rectangle, click OK to finalize the selection.


You can hold down the SHIFT key while drawing the rectangle to restrict the selection's shape to a perfect square.
