The Two Selections 2

Let's look at the Selection types in Freehand.  Point to Point is the best one in my opinion.  You put down your points much like when using the Point to Point Draw tool.  When you are ready to end the selection, right click.  Freehand is tricky if you don't have steady hands.  I don't use that very often.  And frankly, I don't like the Smart Edge.  Using Point to Point with Antialias turned on really fixes a lot of things on jaggy images.  And for selecting a section of an image to use somewhere else, a softer edge looks nicer than a jaggy one.

The butterfly below is me using Freehand instead of Point to Point.

Now this is Point to Point.  The top image shows where I lay down my points.
The second image is with antialias, the third image without antialias.  Which do you like better?
