Myrddin Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 On a new layer use the Line / Curve tool and its nubs to adjust to the contours of the object. Once happy then use the Magic Wand to highlight in or out of the object, switch to the original picture layer and carry out whatever action you so desire. If you need clarification on the technique refer to the Cutting out images the easy way! Version 2. tutorial. Hope this guides you from the darkness of unknown to the light of knowledge.

The_Lionhearted Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 You have two options then...adjust the tolerance (should be a %) or ctrl+click to add to the selection. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The Magic Wand can't actually tell the difference between elements of the picture. It's not THAT magic :-) It just selects pixels with the same (on low tolerance) or similar (on higher tolerance) color values that are contiguous in the image. That's why it won't select the whole car - the car has a bunch of colors - some of which are the same as its background. That's why there needs to be a workaround, as our learned colleagues The_Lionhearted and Myrddin have so eruditely expounded upon. Cheers!

Paint_boy Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 If the magic marker was magic it would select the whole car. The only problem is it's not magic, as David already mentioned. Try going HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
