ok, so im trying to laso a picture but the tool will not stop lasoing itself right about the time i pause for a second or just out of nowhere. say i was lasoing this -> ) but photoshop will most often just finish, what it thinks, is what i want selected like this -> |) when im trying to make a form like this -> (). i know its kind of a.. rudimentary way of describing my problem, but i cant think of any other way.

so can this be turned off? thanks to those who reply!

This has been discussed here recently. Try searching the Forum for previous.

I’d suggest using the Pen tool for any but the crudest of selections.

As a quick option you can use the freeform pen tool. Not as accurate as regular pen tool but a lot better than lasso.
