Question 1

How can I make precise selections with the Procreate lasso tool?

Accepted Answer

To achieve precision with the lasso tool, zoom into your canvas and draw carefully around the desired area. Use the freehand mode for complex shapes, or the polygonal mode if you need straight lines. The ability to mix both modes provides greater control over your selection.

Question 2

What are the steps to select and manipulate multiple layers in Procreate?

Accepted Answer

To select multiple layers, tap and hold the first layer. Then, tap on additional layers to include them. Once selected, you can move or transform them as a group. This feature is handy when you need to make changes across several layers simultaneously.

Question 3

How can I fix an issue where the Procreate selection tool is selecting the entire canvas?

Accepted Answer

If the entire canvas is being selected, it might be due to a selection mode error. Double-check the selection mode in use. Closing and reopening the selection tool can effectively reset any unintended settings, ensuring you can make your targeted selection.

Question 4

In Procreate, how do I select and remove a specific color from my artwork?

Accepted Answer

To remove a specific color, use the Color Selection tool under adjustments. Tap on the color you want to select and adjust the threshold to refine the selection. Once isolated, you can erase or adjust it as needed, allowing for precise color manipulation.

Question 5

Can I select non-contiguous areas by color in Procreate, and if so, how?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can select non-contiguous areas based on color by using the automatic selection. Tap and hold the color on the canvas to activate the selection process. Adjust the threshold to include more or less of the color throughout the artwork.
