Magic Wand tool improvement

[xordevoreaux]

First let me say I absolutely adore Paint.net. It's my initial go-to tool for any bitmap editing and sometimes the clean-up tool as well after modifying images in Krita.

 

That said, I do sorely wish that the magic wand tool in Paint.net worked as effectively as it does in Krita. The intended field of color to select in Paint.net grabs practically the entire picture, while Krita expertly grabs the color I selected.

Are you adjusting the Tolerance on the tool bar?

 

After you click with the magic wand, you can adjust the tolerance live to change what is selected.

A Tolerance of zero will only include pixels which exactly match the click-color.
