Paint Shop Pro Tutorial
THE PSP FREEHAND TOOLThe Freehand Tool
is shaped like a lasso and is often called just that, the Lasso Tool.The freehand tool allows you to draw around selections of an image that is not in a regular geometric shape. Selection Types 
Freehand -
The Freehand tool allows you to drag the mouse around an area you want to select.
When you release the mouse, the program will connect the start and end point.
Point
to Point - The Point to Point option gives you much more control. All you
do is to click on an image, and continue clicking around the image. When you reach
the starting point and double click, the selection will be complete. Zooming in
on the graphic will allow you to make a much more accurate selection.
Smart
Edge - Smart Edge allows for a very accurate selection if there is a lot of
contrast between the background and the object you wish to select. Smart Edge
works a lot like Point to Point, but the selection area between the two points
where you click "snap" to the edge of what you are selecting. Antialias
