Improvement of a line by using the magic wand

We use Photoshop a lot, so this may be a simple question, but I was unable to get something to happen.

I have a transparent GIF file, which presents a series of counties in my State.  This is just a glimpse of the thin black line of these.  That's all that's on this GIF, though this file is merged into another file that is a topographic map.

I need to make the outlines of the County in a thicker line so that they will stand out more.  I am able to grasp the lines by using the magic wand (which seems the natural thing to do), but from there I can not understand how to increase the width of the line.

It is an older version of Photoshop, we had for years, so I need this work accordingly.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

No need for a selectionm, use the filter-> other-> Minimum to increase the thickness of your black lines. If you want to go the wand then road once you have your selection, use Select-> change-> Expand.

  • Impossible to use the magic wand on hidden forms

    I try to use the magic wand on certain forms which had a clipping mask applied to them, and he does not select anything, although the Lasso seems to work when I drag it over the same shape. Forms that do not work are those used to hide other images inside them.

  • How to use the magic wand to select in the active artboard only - CS5

    I ran into a problem that I think already has a solution. I have a layout with 7 work plans, each a variation on a design logo. I want to choose a specific color, but only in the active work plan. The wand seems to be the right choice, but I see no way to specify this. All the efforts that I do, the color is selected in each work plan there. I know that select all can limit its scope to the active artboard by adding the option to the command key, but see no equivalent for the magic wand. Did I miss something or Illustrator lack the ability?

    Use blocking or hide to make a selection.

    1. Draw a box around the elements on an artbaord
    2. Select > Inverse
    3. Object > Lock
    4. (use your magic wand and that your changes)
    5. Object unlock everything
  • Issue using the Magic Wand selection tool in Photoshop CS6

    I m following a tutorial to learn the basics of photoshop and I m stuck on the magic wand tool, while doing a very simple task. I'm trying to select the white background of the image and then pressing on delete to remove it and make duck yellow transparent image.

    But when I press the button remove key a window opens and the eyedropper tool is selected. And when I press DELETE, while the background is filled with the yellow color of the duck. Please look at the picture and let me know how I can fix this.magic-wand-tool-issue.jpg

    And when I press on enter, this is what happens:

    yellow-rubber-duck.jpg

    This happens because you are working on the background layer which is special in Photoshop. What you need to do, is make a regular layer by double clicking with the ALT key or double clicking and pressing ok. Incidentally that's going to happen with any selection tool not only the magic wand. Hope that helps

  • "WARNING: no pixel selected" with the magic wand

    Details:

    Product: Adobe Photoshop CS5 64-bit

    OS: Windows 7 64-bit

    I'm working on the application of a coating that is textured to a field of hexagons, but not for their "Grout", i.e. the border thickness between each hexagonal "mosaic". I made a selection of the "Grout" and then reversed so that now my hexes were selected, make a new layer filled with black, and then using the magic wand tool, I deselected about 2/3 of the selections in Allen. Apply noise, motion blur, makes a fine metal grain. Invert the selection, remove the excess black, then reverse and save the selection. Define as overlay, super good. Then layer, load my selection of the Hexagon, 1/3 of the responsible for the selection of France that I've done before (so I do not apply two textures on any of a hexagon) and I get about 2/3 of the hexagons selected. New layer, fill it with black, just like the last time. Except that... when I use my magic wand to deselect, I get ' WARNING: No. Pixels were selected "and I lose the entire selection. Can I deselect using square or the quick selector, but not the magic wand. Now I well recorded and could recreate so no real work is lost, but it is easier deselect each Hexagon bit (there a LOT of them) with the magic wand of monstroustly. Why this suddenly is upward?

    Thank you for your time,

    How is the box to sample all layers [] at the top of the main window of Photoshop?

    If it is not checked, the wand will only use the data on the layer that is currently selected.

    OfficeJet pro 8600 print a single vertical black line when using the charger

    Hi @realestatejeann,

    I see that you have found one black vertical line when using the ADF. With a few steps, we should be able to solve this problem.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

  • Mask and the magic wand in the Select

    In Using Photoshop / select and mask Workspace for 2015.5 CC, it is said after the launch of Select and mask workspace allowing, "a selection tool such as the Lasso, magic wand, or quick selection. Now click on select and mask in the Options bar. "But when I run S & M, the magic wand is not available. Is it possible to add it?

    Martin

    If you mean the magic wand tool, no. There is only the regular lasso tool and the quick selection in the selection and the mask tool.

  • Can you after you have selected a picture with the magic wand just delete the background, leaving only the photo?

    Can you after you have selected a picture with the magic wand, just delete the background, leaving only the photo?

    Or should we use layers to achieve?

    I use Adobe Elements 8.

    Thank you

    Martin

    What is your intention to delete the background - replace the white background transparency or others?

    Keep in mind that if you delete on the background layer (the default name), deletion is replaced by the current color set in the chip of background color as shown in the toolbar. By default, it is white, so if you are selection and deletion of a white background you will end up with white again. If you want that transparency first change the background to a normal layer Layer renaming.
