Magic Eraser and Quick Selection tool

I want to erase the white background of the following image so that it is transparent, where there was formerly a white background.  Using the background Eraser is ineffective because it is difficult to erase the background without erasing parts of the image that I want to keep.  I was able to use the quick selection tool to select the white background and then use the Magic Eraser tool to erase the white background, but I have two problems.  (1) I can't get the Magic Eraser tool to erase the White Center, which shows to be selected.  (2) I can't the selected background to deselect.

  • I would like to cut out an object using the Quick Selection tool and drop the object into another image. Can anyone help

    I use background images and want to cut objects of other JPEG files using the Quick Selection tool and drop them in the background image. So if I have a banana and select the object, I need to copy the banana in the context on the other.

    Hope it makes sense.

    Gary

    Select the banana. Right click > copy layer. Move tool. Click and drag to the other file. Place on the image.

    GOLD: load history and banana in a stack (file > Scripts > load file in the stack). Select banana and layer for copy or create the layer mask.

  • When I choose my quick selection tool, I click and drag the first time, and he adds (my selection). BUT if I let go of the mouse button and try to select more it goes to Negative (-) and removes all selections I made and won't allow me not one

    When I choose my quick selection tool, I click and drag the first time, and he adds (my selection). BUT if I let go the mouse button and try to select it goes to Negative (-) and removes all the selections I made and not will not let me add again. I never had this problem before, you usually need to hold down the Alt (or Option MAC) to subtract from selections. No one knows what happened or how to fix this problem, maybe a setting I accidentally hit? Thanks for your suggestions! :))

    Look at the options of quick selection - particularly the four icons on the left.

  • How to make default tool wand (instead of the Quick Selection tool)?

    Hello

    Whenever I open my photoshop software, the default value of 'W' is the quick selection tool. I'd rather be the magic wand tool. Sometimes she stays tool magic wand, other times, it comes down to the quick selection tool. How can I get the 'W' to stay the magic wand tool by default and not switch back to quick selection? I don't want to get rid of quick selection as I use it sometimes, but I used the magic wand.

    Click on the three dots at the bottom of the toolbar, and choose edit toolbar.

    Drag the Quick Selection above the magic wand tool and click done.

  • Need help: missing Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Quick Selection tool.

    Hello everyone, one

    I'm in a strange problem. Tool for the quick selection of my Adobe Photoshop 7.0 is missing. The magic wand is there. But there is no small black arrow on this topic, click and move to the quick selection. There is no way that I can use quick selection. Press the W button opens only the magic wand. I believe that my software is broken. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling software and use custom and made sure all components have been selected during the installation, but it does not help. I tried the regular Setup Install 7.0 as well as creative cloud. For both, the quick selection tool is still missing. If someone could help me solve this problem, it will be very useful.

    Thank you

    Monica Kulkarni

    Correct, there is no quick selection tool in Photoshop version 7, The Cloud Creative offers three versions of Photoshop.  Photoshop CS6 version 13, CC Photoshop version 14 and CC 2014 Photoshop version 15 all versions have the quick selection tool.

  • Tolerance of the Quick Selection tool

    I was wondering if there is a way to select the tolerance for quick selection tool - like option for the magic wand tolerance.  Too often, I find that the Quick Selection selects too, so...

    The logic of the quick selection tool is quite different from the magic wand tolerance digital option probably does not apply, but there is a way to make it less select. Do you know the Option key thing? If clicking on the selected too quick Selection tool, Option-click on the tool Quick Selection on areas declined. Who teaches the Quick Selection tool does not select again similar areas. Having done this, the next time that you click the quick selection tool, it should be more accurate. Clicking turns the desired areas and Option-click on the areas that you don't want, gradually refine you your selection until you get the selection that you like. Then, you can use the refine edge to tune in to the edge.

    In other words, instead of juggling with figures of tolerance, you can learn the tool by clicking on.

  • Why is the quick selection tool all edges in stairs?

    My Photoshop elements quick selection tool is ideal to say to select an element, a shirt, and then I copy it and paste it on a new page with a white background, thus eliminating the background I had before.  The only thing is that it makes the edges of the element the serrated and so I have to go with the Eraser tool and smooth everything out.  It is not easy because my hand is not otherwise stable.  It is also very hard on my eyes.  I already had to get new glasses.   The original image, a shirt, for example, has a delimitation net all around him.  How can I copy it so that when I paste on a new background, it remains strong and I don't have to spend ages, sometimes half an hour or more, try to smooth out the edges?  Thank you.

    Once you have made your choice, go up to the options bar and refine edge to smooth the edges (give him a feather a pixel or two, for example).

  • Stupid question CS6. How can I get rid of my experience after using the quick selection tool?

    Stupid question CS6. How can I get rid of my experience after using the quick selection tool?

    The best way would be to make sure that your layer is not a background layer: click the lock icon in this case. Then click the icon at the bottom of the layer panel layer mask. This will create a mask that you can refine and not be destructive.

  • Photoshop Elements 14 Quick Selection tool breaks

    I often use the quick selection tool to clone or highlight areas of the image for the special edition. Invariably, after several weeks of use, it stops working. It does not have the AutoFill feature nor can I enclose an area for further editing. In the past, I just uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop Elements. Last week, not even this method worked. This was also a problem in Photoshop elements 11, in my experience. What is the cause of the problem and what is the solution?

    A simple reset will often do the trick. Go to this link and select the Quick Selection tool:

    I don't know what is happening here, but your steps really do that properly in all cases. Try this.

    (1) make your selection, you see the moving dotted line

    2) click on the layer mask icon in the indicated measure. Note the mask is shown on layer 0

    (3) on the screen, it will look like this with a transparent background, but nothing has been deleted

    (4) If you are not comfortable with being there layer mask, select the mask and right click then choose apply layer mask. I would say it's totally useless, but some people find it easier to understand.

    (5) the layer will look like below. I know its tempting to cut and paste, but ultimately you lose things, but to do this way, you are in complete control and can go back if you make a mistake.

    Hi Axe_Juan,

    Could you please let me know the version of Photoshop installed on your computer?

    Also you want to State as Photoshop not to do a quick selection?

    If so, then head over to the Photoshop preferences, then the performance tab and click on 'Big and flat', restart Photoshop and then use the selection tool.

    If something else, please let me know.

    Kind regards
