Magic Wand (magic wand) is one of the tools of the Adobe Photoshop program, which allows the user to feel like a real wizard. One movement of the magic wand - and several of the most complex contours are highlighted in the photo at once, which would take more than one hour to work with using other selection tools, such as Lasso. Using the Magic Wand correctly, the Adobe Photoshop user saves time on routine work, getting the opportunity to get creative.
Instructions
Step 1
Activate the Magic Wand tool. Notice the checkmark in the checkbox called Contiguous. "Magic Wand" works on the principles of pixel analysis of the chromaticity of the image. That is why she so easily selects large and complex parts of the picture. The Contiguous checkbox allows the Magic Wand to operate in two modes.
Step 2
Turn off Contiguous mode. Use the Magic Wand to select a spot in the image that most closely matches the dominant color of the object that will be selected later. Adobe Photoshop will analyze the image for closeness to the specified pixel color and automatically add those areas of the photo or picture that are the same. Note that when Contiguous is off, the maximum number of areas with similar chromaticity will be highlighted.
Step 3
Turn on Contiguous mode. In this mode, the program analyzes a photo or image more carefully, focusing not on approximately the same pixels, but also on their almost exact similarity. Adjacent pixels are included by the program in the selection made using the Magic Wand, then a new analysis of the image takes place, and a new portion of pixels is attached to the selected area or rejected by the program. Note that in Contiguous mode only the area with the original pixel can be selected.
Step 4
Adjust the degree of “similarity” tolerance of the pixel. Set the Tolerance box to values from 0 to 255 before using the Magic Wand Selection Tool. Use Anti-alias to adjust image characteristics such as anti-aliasing.
Step 5
Use the Grow command to manually increase the selection by a predetermined number of adjacent pixels.
