How To Use Photoshop CS4’s Magic Wand Tool

Posted by Edward Alexander

Photoshop has three tools for making selections: The Marquee, Lasso and the Magic Wand. When I run courses on Photoshop, tools like the magic wand and the clone tools are usually the ones which everyone finds the easiest to start using because they give such immediate results. The Magic Wand works by selecting colours within the image adjacent and similar to any pixel that you click on. Pixels of dissimilar colour act as barriers to selection and so the selection ripples outwards from the point you click on.

I have been looking around online the last few days, trying to discover how to fix my Xbox 360. I’ve had my console since launch day a couple of years ago, and it’s always worked fine. Then a last week, without warning, it just died on me. I know lots of folks who have had it happen to them, so it was not a complete surprise. But that doesn’t make it any better to accept.
