SearedIce Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 If the colors/shades are similar (and around them are sufficiently contrasting ones) you can use the magic wand tool to easily select the colored area. If there isn't enough contrast you could duplicate your image layer, increase its contrast, make the selection there, then switch back to your original image to use the selection how you wanted.

Westrock Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Also try adjusting the tolerance bar (below the shapes) when using the Magic Wand. By setting it lower it selects only the specific color you pick and setting it higher will start to select everything around it. I considered the Magic Wand pretty useless until I realized the Tolerance selector made a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Try duplicating the layer and the turning the contrast up on the dupe. This should make it easier to distinguish the different areas. You can just select on the high contrast layer and switch over to the original to make you alteration...
