Feather:
The Feather option gives a nice soft edge around the selected area. The softness depends on the amount of feather we give.
Options:
 
Width : 
Width options allows you to change the number of pixels the magnetic lasso tool takes into account for finding contrast.Use a large pixel value for high contrast areas and a lower pixel value for tight low contrast areas.
While using the Magnetic lasso tool we can't change the number of pixels in this box.In this situation  press the square bracket key ] to increase and [ to decrease the width.

Contrast :
This option determines how much of a difference there must be in color or brightness value between the object and its background to find out the edge.Use a large contrast value for high contrast areas and a lower contrast value for tight low contrast areas.
While using the Magnetic lasso tool we can't change the contrast directly in this box.In this situation
press the period key ( . ) on your keyboard to increase the contrast value or the comma ( , ) to decrease it.

Frequency :
This tool will automatically place anchor points with some default distance between the points.If we want to increase/decrease the space between the anchor points using this option we can change it.
