On the surface, making selections seems like a very straightforward function and hardly worthy of a separate tutorial, but there are so many ways selections can be made and used that it can really advance your Photoshop skills, such as providing you with the ability to make text on a path in new ways, or text within custom shapes. First let's talk about what tools are selection tools. The marquee tool, located on the top left in the toolbox is the most commonly used tool. There is the rectangle, the ellipse, the single row and the single column. These tools share the same spot in the toolbox and are accessed by using the tool flyout arrow, or right clicking. The last two are the least commonly used in digi-scrapping but can be very handy in making stripes.
