• Magic wand selects the entire image

  Hey, I tried to use the magic wand tool to select an area before and it works. But yesterday idk what happened and whenever I used the magic tool want to select a specific area it maintains by selecting the entire image. How can I get this problem? Please answer as soon as possible. Thank you!

  Hi SepetMTJ22,

  I'll try to look at the suggestions of Charles. It is very likely that you have a full or empty layer selected, choose everything for you:

  

  

  Or you have a size of the sample that is too big, make sure that you have defined in a small enough sample point. One is recommended.

  

• Magic wand in pathnames are shredded on retina?

  I used the PSD for 20 years now... Recently bought an iMac, retina and now it seems that my wand magic selections/paths are shredded really once removed... Thus, for example: if I use the magic wand to select an area, then delete this area, the edges are jagged really...  I read something on the use of the GPU preview but can't seem to find these settings within the PSD...

  If - this double edge has always been here and I'm the see just now because I'm on a retina?  Or is there something else is happening here...?

  I work with a doc 5 x 7 300 dpi.

  Thank you guys!

  I do not have a Retina display, but I suspect that your monitor is to expose a limitation in how works the tragic Wand tool. The algorithm creates a selection in black and white only, with no gray to make the transition on the edges and is that by having the edges later ant one alias that the mask seems acceptable. However, this does not mean that the magic wand tool is very good to detect small details, so not very good to hide. If you use the color range or the tool quick selection that create selections/masks with grayscale in transition, the edges are much less irregular. If you look at the beautiful artwork below you can see what is happening. The mask on the left were made with the magic wand and right of the quick selection tool. You can see that the wand picks up the son really thin around the basket and also the flag, but at the expense of the whole mask being much more contrasted.

  In response to your question, I think that your just seeing the working tool of the way it was designed too.

  

• How can I make my default 'W' magic wand; Get rid of the display pixel grid

  There are two issues of interface with Photoshop user that disrupt my work flow. The first and the most important are that W now triggers the quick selection tool by default instead of (for me) much more useful magic wand. I like the idea of the quick selection tool, but I find rarely as effective as the magic wand. So I would banish the W key and let the magic wand rule without competition.

  Not as important, but remains a problem for me is the superposition of the pixel grid when zoomed in. He often obscures detail and hinders my ability to pull a good mask rather than strengthen it. I can understand how it is people who work in some areas, but for my work, it is almost never useful. Can I activate or otherwise banish him entirely?

  Thank you

  Hi London_Crockett,

  To get rid of the Quick Selection tool, you can use the toolbar edition introduced in version of Photoshop CC2015.1.

  Go to the toolbar change > drag the toolbar list of additional tools Quick Selection tool

  For the second question, go to the view menu > show > uncheck the pixel grid.

  Kind regards

• URGENT magic wand tool selects a line drawing, instead of the space between

  Hello

  I am coloring/rendering a map of the places where I imported a PDF of line drawing prepared in Autocad. To do this, I usually start with the magic wand tool to select areas on the plan and block everything with the pot of paint color. However, this time when I select objects (say the building) selects the black lines in the layer (the line drawings) rather the space between the two. I checked to see if all the lines are closed and I played with the tolerance but he still picks on the lines instead. I tried both on a transparent background and tried to merge the lines with a layer of white background but without success.

  Please help if you can, I have a tight deadline to finish it and use the polygonal selection on everything that would be both pain and take too much time! I have Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.

  Thank you.

  If there is a problem with gaps - create a copy of the layer. Apply a 1 - 2px Gaussian blur. Use the magic wand on this layer, then make your choice.

• Unwanted edges with magic wand?

  Hi guys,.

  I feel like a beginner, though ive use Photoshop for 15 years. But since yesterday, when I use the tool magic wand on a selection and then fill it out, im not anti-aliasing! I think I accidentally hit a shortcut key that I don't know. I'm used to Photoshop on a PC, but I am now using mac and yesterday I was groping for the new layer shortcut, it probably happened then. The Anti-aliasing box is checked on everything, tolerance to 0 (and 32 for the wand). Bicubic/smooth gradients is on (sometimes I turn it on to hard edges for the SNES). Fill a selection through the marquee selection tool gives me smooth edges, but if I then select this same area with the magic wand, it fills as a jagged Ridge pixelated. Im not using path or anything like that, just base selection and filling. What the hell have I done?

  Here's where I noticed it all first. Original selection with the circular marquee on the left smooth filling, nice. Selected with the magic wand and when I fill it up again, it's suddenly in stairs and hard.

  

  Pressing Ctrl/Cmd on the thumbnail of a layer, you load a selection which is equal to the visible content of this layer. I think that's what you get with the magic wand, but using the technique I explained you that you will have a final selection more accurate.

• Selection of magic wand that turned bad in CS4 for Windows - how to fix?

  I am currently working on a project of game modding than altered uses of the photos as icons.  Most of these photos have (usually white) background which I am replacing it with color gradients.  My usual method for the manufacture of the icon:

  1. Create my gradient background in a white square of size; Save this file.
  2. The Outbox folder, add a new transparent layer.
  3. Open the photo to be altered (file B) and my game-icon (file C) model in separate tabs.
  4. Select the unwanted parts of file B with the magic wand tool; Cut; repeat if necessary.
  5. Select the entire image is in file B; If so, resample a file match B and C (256 x 256 pixels, 96 DPI).
  6. Copy the picture and paste it into the transparent layer of the file has.
  7. Flatten image in the Outbox folder, and then select all and copy.
  8. Paste this new image (with the gradient background) in the C file transparent layer.
  9. Flatten the image into an icon of the full game, recording as a file D.dds with the "Alpha channel" and Alpha DXT3/Explicit options.  (You will need the Nvidia DDS plugin for this step.)

  Usually, these steps give me decent looking results (see photos #1 and #2 for a before/after).  Sometimes, however, the wand chooses too and cannot limit the unwanted area more (see photos #3 and #4 for a before/after). I would like to try the lasso tool if my hands partially paralyzed could manage other users of Photoshop here are technical advice?

  

  Color range selections, channel operations, the adjustments made on the custom selections / channels. You need to combine several techniques and selections. For example, you can always try to create a luminance mask, save it as a custom channel and using levels or curves adjustments cut unwanted parts, and then load it as a choice on which you can then use the edges, refine and add / subtract / intersect other selections...

• 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

  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.

• Magic Wand tool selects several items and won't let me not deselect everything I don't want

  I was with the SHIFT key to select multiple items, and all of a sudden Photoshop cc is not let me clear ALL.

  I don't even have to press the SHIFT key now selects automatically no matter what I click.

  The items that are currently selected are not the same colors so I know that this isn't just misunderstanding on these items as I want.

  Is it possible that I accidentally changed something where it is set to nothing I click on select automatically?

  Why now when I try to disable whatever it is, is not it? I can click on a specific item, select it, then click the exact the same task and it will not deselect.

  Help, please! A bit new, but I was easily using the magic wand to select the text and fill with "content-aware" but now even when I fill, he left this section and then selected me will not deselect this period.

• 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.

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

  

  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

• Is it a magic wand of CC 2014 photoshop tool?

  Is it a magic wand of CC 2014 photoshop tool?  I'm looking for a complete method to remove the white background transparent.

  Are you familiar with how Photoshop has tools in the toolbar?

  If you hover your mouse over any tool with a tiny black arrow at the bottom RHS of the button - then left-click and hold - the group buttons (not visible) under this button is displayed in a menu drop-down.

  Place the cursor on the quick selection tool, left click and hold, and you will see that you can then select the magic wand tool

  

• Adjust the tolerance in the magic wand has no effect?

  Working in a file in RGB mode, trying to select the white space around lineart, but it seems that my tolerance with the magic wand tool is stuck on zero, even if I max out.

  

  I just installed CC today, so if there is a difference between the editions, would be delighted if someone could point me in the right direction.

  I do not see your layers palette is the layer with the transparent top drawing (for example you are transparent sampling, not white)?  I also had similar problems when I had accidentally on a layer mask, not the layer itself.   Double check your layers and the ' sample all layers ' to smile.
