Lasso Tool

I would highly encourage you to add the lasso tool to make selections for layers and fine tune layer selections.


Regular old lasso tool, magnetic lasso tool and most of all the polygonal lasso tool would make the layer selections so much easier. There are currently no way in making a "harsh" and straight selection except the gradient tool but that of course is not a workable solution.

Current workaround

I work with real estate photography creating merged HDR within Capture One to pull information back from the windows and shadows to create absolutely stunning final images. But the finnicky part is the selections.

Now I use a combination of every other selection tool; AI selection, Brush tool, Magic Brush Tool, Luma Range to make the final selection. This can sometimes be frustrating as there are high variance between different shots even though the problem area might be the same.

    Yes a polygonal lasso or pen tool would be so incredibly useful and greatly speed up certain workflows where sharp edges of geometric patterns need to be quickly selected. It's such a pain to have to go to an external program to make a simple selection.
