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 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.

    Bad program. If you want to select pixels in an image, you need a raster like Photoshop image editor. Illustrator is a vector graphics editor. It works with the comic forms. The magic wand tool selects objects that meet certain criteria in the selected object, such as fill color or weight of the race.

  • 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.

  • 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

    cartoon1.jpg

    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

    cartoon2.png

    cartoon3.jpg

    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.

  • Magic Wand tool

    Hello!

    I downloaded CS6 PS.  I couldn't find miniature tool "magic wand".  Could someone help me please?

    Hello

    The magic wand tool is grouped in the same location in the Toolbox as the quick selection tool.

    Press and hold on the quick selection icon in the Toolbox and should reveal a pop-up menu when you click on the magic wand tool to select this option.

  • Where can I find the magic wand tool?

    Where can I find the magic wand tool?

    It's in your Toolbox, the fourth field of the top.

    If you do not see, the quick selection tool is probably chosen.

    Press (that's a pressure downwards, not click) on the Quick Selection tool and hold the button for a moment.

    You should see the magic wand. Move your cursor to the bottom and select the wand.

    Ivan,

    If it's on the rectangular objects, you may have encountered the bug Rectangle Live which is limited to the MAC versions from 10.7 and 10.8, but not of 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). If all goes well, the bug will be fixed soon.

    Thus, a switch for the Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstall might be the way to solve it here and now.

    To get around it, in each case, it is possible to develop direct Rectangles to get the normal old shaped rectangles or Pathfinder > unit, or use the scale tool or the free transform tool.

    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old shaped rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • 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
