Hey guys I have a logo that is choppy that I am trying to straighten up.
I am using the selection tool and pulling out a square box beside the straight lines and using either the eraser or a black brush. On the diagonal portions I am just transforming the square box to the size I need. This is frustrating.
They way I hoping I could do it was Draw a Square selection box with anchor points... and then fill in the selected area or invert and erase the other side.

Is this possible?
I would just like to put a point a the beginning of my line and then a 2nd point the complete the diagonal straight line, then a couple more to close off the box...

Is this isn't possible what would be the best way to achieve this?

Thanks

It sounds like you should be using the polygon lasso tool.
