Lasso tool VS PEN TOOL
The pen tool is a versatile tool in Photoshop that can be used to create extremely precise shapes and paths, using manually placed anchor points. Although commonly used to make selections, the pen tool was not natively made as a “selection tool”
Layers are different images stacked on top of each other.
You can use each layer without affecting another one to make
adjustments.
Together they form one final image.
It could look something like this in real life.
