• How to move the selection from the magic wand of 2 pixels tool to take off the edges?

  Hello

  I am trying to make a selection with the magic wand tool and move the edges of the selection by a pixel or two, but the button "refine edge" does not seem to do anything.  I want to cut a pixel on the edge of an image that I cut into another image.  Any help would be great thanks.

  Depending on whether you have selected the image or the background, use Select > modify > expand your selection or select > modify > contract selection

• 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.

• Cannot find the quick selection tool (previously associated with the magic wand tool) on Illustrator CC (the most recent version installed on October 14, 2014)

  I just installed a new version of Illustrator CC and CS6 on 14 October 2014 and I couldn't find the quick selection on this version tool, this tool already lies with the magic wand tool

  I don't remember a quick selection tool in Illustrator. Are you sure it was in Illustrator?

• Hide always selectable items with the magic wand tool

  When I want to cut a piece of an image, I create a mask on the layer of the image with paint on anything, but the point I want to keep. Something changed and I can choose is no longer this element remains in the layer after I applied the layer mask and painted essentially the everytyhing else.

  For example if I wanted an Apple carved into a tree, I've painted all in black except apple, which left white in the mask. After you apply the mask on the layer, I should be able to click in the empty space around the Apple with my magic wand tool and they have to make a perfect around apple selection, but the magic wand tool straightens always leaves, branches, etc. Even if I painted out them and apply the mask, is essentially delete them and all that I can see the gray and white checkerboard grid behind Apple. It makes me crazy!

  It's Photoshop CS6 and it was working fine before. Changed something without realizing it?

  Thank you...

  Maybe you painted the mask with a very dark black than gray. Apply this mask would leave the color in the pixels, but they are almost completely transparent. The magic wand would always detect the color in the pixels.

  Another possibility is that you have accidentally reduced the density of the mask slightly in the properties panel when the mask was targeted.

• White on white selection with the magic wand of refining

  I'm trying to remove the background of a picture of BW - one model posing in front of a white background.

  Select with the magic wand works fine except on the area where the light on the model wears the white skin. When I choose, I get the hand and the lower part of the arm (see below) but miss the box top, completely white. I tried all kinds of settings and also tried to increase the contrast with a brightness/contrast layer, but nothing I I understand allows me to keep the arm and remove the bottom with the arm.  FWIW, the image cannot be redone.

  How can I do? Thanks for any help.

  Learn how masking... Also in white when mixed in a layer with the blending mode multiply does not change.  So, if you add a new layer on top of your image and set its blending mode to multiply. You will see your arm starts to show through. Add a maske layer to this layer and paint with black to show the lower arm of the layer by hiding the top layer on the arm area.

• "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.

• 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...

• 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.

  

• Question on the paint bucket tool and the magic wand tool

  I try to learn Marie-illustration with PS

  I have a few question, since I'm new on this

  

  first on the paint bucket tool, theres you can see, first of all I do preview, then fill with the pot of paint, but as you can see it, theres always have white line

  so I have to manually paint to fill the white line, is theres no adjustment so the filling does not leave any white line?

  the 2nd issue is on the quick magic wand tool

  

  

  I make selection to expose and make new layer that fills with a color

  but as you can see, for example, I use red.

  theres a red leak, so I mus manually erasing who

  is there a setting too for wand of the tool, if you fill the selection with the color.

  the color didn't cross the contour line

  so I'm just curious as to what you can change with a few settings, or his normal procces, so whatever it takes, you need cleaning by yourself

  Thank you

  Photoshop is more (or less) a graphical editor hatched (with a handful of vector tools). Tools like the paint bucket tool work on the paradigm of raster. You can set the tolerance in the toolbar options also high he'll go (255) to select (or fill) all the pixels of the layer.

  If you haven't already done so, try looking at Illustrator, because it is a vector editor; You can change the contours and funds of works of art on the fly and evolve it without losing quality to boot.

• 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.

• Magic wand in addition to additional areas

  Photoshop 7. I photograph the linocuts always with strong white areas. Of course photography I take is not quite a full white, plus a pale gray. I can use the magic wand to select an area and delete it if I get a pure white. How can I select several areas of white only at the same time? If I can do it, I can leave all other colors looking strong. I'm new to Photoshop, but it is my main task before sending it to a greeting card company. Help appreciated.

• 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

• 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.
