One of the most frequently used scenario for the selection tool is to select an area, and then use the transformation tool to adjust / move that area to correct part of the drawing. Other apps such as Infinite Painter and Procreate make this operation quite streamlined by automatically deselect (and switch back to brush) after the user commit the transformation. However, currently in Artstudio Paint we have do two extra steps every time we try to correct a small part of our drawing in this way: we need to manually deselect and manually switch back to the brush tool.

It would be great to have such a behavior implemented, which would further streamline the drawing experience! Thanks very much!

Not quite sure about going back to the brush tool by default. Many times I just use the lasso tool or whatever other selection tool a lot, so I don’t want to have to reselect it because it automatically goes to the brush after transforming

Same, I think this is better. I don't immediately stop using the lasso tool either

If you are improving selections... could you add a save&load selections like procreate has? is quite useful, pretty please. Could be a new panel we can have floating around. It would work per document
