The Magic Wand Tool, known simply as the Magic Wand, is one of the oldest selection tools in Photoshop. The Magic Wand selects pixels based on tone and color.
The Magic Wand Tool, known simply as the Magic Wand, is one of the oldest selection tools in Photoshop. The Magic Wand selects pixels based on tone and color.
The Magic Wand is nested behind the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop
When we click on an area in the image with the tool, Photoshop looks at the tone and color of the area we clicked on and selects pixels that share the same color and brightness values. This makes the Magic Wand exceptional at selecting large areas of solid color. We will be doing that today with the green screen pics.
The Magic Wand's Tolerance option.The Tolerance option tells Photoshop how different in tone and color a pixel can be from the area we clicked on for it to be included in the selection. By default, the Tolerance value is set to 32, which means that Photoshop will select any pixels that are the same color as the area we clicked on, plus any pixels that are up to 32 shades darker or 32 shades brighter.

Contiguous. --With Contiguous selected, as it is by default, Photoshop will only select pixels that fall within the acceptable tone and color range determined by the Tolerance option and are side by side each other in the same area you clicked on.
A very handy technique to use with the Magic Wand, which is to select the area you don't want first and then invert the selection!
To invert the selection, which will select everything that wasn't selected and deselect everything that was, go up to the Select menu at the top of the screen and choose Inverse. Or, for a faster way to invert selections, use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+I (Win) / Shift+Command+I (Mac):
Go to Select > Inverse.
