After drawing a selection marquee with any bitmap selection tool, you can add to the selection with the same tool or another bitmap selection tool.

To add to an existing pixel selection:

  1. Select any bitmap selection tool.
  2. Hold down Shift and draw additional selection marquees.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with any bitmap selection tool to continue adding to the selection.

    Overlapping marquees join to form a contiguous marquee.
