Object Outline

Hi.

 

I was wondering if theres a plugin or a method to get the outline of a magic wand selection. I'm wanting the outer edges of the selection with any internal detail or 'edge holes' removed.  Hope that makes sense.

If you have my plugin pack installed, you can use the magic wand to make your selection, add a new layer, and then Effects > Selection > Outline selection

Have used this one many times. Very handy.

If you want to save only the selection for reuse then:

 

Edit > Copy Selection will save a selection.
Edit > Paste Selection will bring it back.

 

If you want to save for future sessions, fill the selection on a new layer.

You can then regain the selection with the Magic Wand.

@BoltBait I have your plugin pack but when I tried I got all the unselect bit also. Here's an example pic. If I magic wand it, it grabs all the detail,  I just want to select the perimeter of the object. Hope that's clearer.

Put Magic Wand tolerance to zero.

 

Hold Ctrl key down and Magic Wand all around the face.


Invert selection if that's what you want.
