How to use Magic Wand to select in Active Artboard only - CS5

I've run into a problem that I would think already has a solution. I have a layout with 7 artboards, each a variation on a logo design. I want to select a specific color, but only in the active artboard. The Magic Wand would seem to be the right choice, but I see no way of specifying this. Every attempt I make, the color is selected in every artboard that it exists. I know that Select All can narrow its scope to the active artboard by adding the option key to the command but see no equivalent for the Magic Wand. Am I missing something or is Illustrator missing the ability?

Use locking or hiding to make you selection.
Draw a frame around the elements on one artbaord
Select >> Inverse
Object >> Lock
(use your magic wand and make your change)
Object unlock all

  • Using Magic Wand to select & enahance path in CS2

    I have an aerial image in a .JPEG file which shows a  GPS track/route.  I would like to enhance/alter the appeareance of this track/route in the image.  For example, I would like to possibly increase the thickness of the track/route, possibibly change the color and most importantly be able to change the appearance of the track/route to appear as  a dashed or dotted line.  I do not wish to change the size or shape of the track/route as it currently appears on the image.  I am able to select this entire route using the Magic Wand tool but I am unable to further maninpulate it.   Any suggestions on how to most efficiently achieve my desired goal(s)?  I have thought about using Illustrator CS2 but it seems as though when using Illustrator there is no feasible way to select the track/route with the magic Wand tool like you can in Photoshop CS2.
    See attached aerial image file which shows the GPS track/route.
    Thanks!
    Using Photoshop CS2 on a Windows PC

    to increase the thickness, after you selected it, go to Select->Modify->Expand, make a new layer and with the selection still active, fill that layer with whatever color you want. Getting a pattern to follow that selection will be very hard to do though. You'd probably need to make a checkerboard brush, make a path that follows the red outline and then stroke that path with the brush you just made (make sure that the brush has a spacing of 100%)

  • Why can't I delete a selection when I am using magic wand in Photoshop CS4?

    I know I've done this before.  I want to select part of an image using magic wand, then delete it, so that the background is transparent.  The selection will not delete.  Do I have some weird setting picked?  Thanks!
    -- Jane

    Did you convert the background into a layer before pressing delete? (by double clicking the background layer in your layers pallete)
    otherwise, pressing delete will simply fill the selection with your current background color.
    edit:
    also make sure you have this option unchecked:

  • How i use OEM 12c to monitor Microsoft Active directory.

    Hi,
    How i use OEM 12c to monitor Microsoft Active directory.Please assist me on this.
    Thanks,
    Sagar

    Hi,
    The fundamental problem with this scenario is that you have non-failover capable modules in a failover chassis - think of the ASA failover pair as one device and the IPS modules as two completely separate devices.
    Then, as already mentioned, add only the primary ASA. (The secondary will never be passing traffic in standby mode so it's not actually needed in MARS) Then, with the first IPS module you can add it as a module of the ASA or as a standalone device (MARS doesn't care). With the second IPS module the only option is to add it as a separate device anyway.
    In a failover scenario the ASA's swap IP's but the IPS's don't so whereas you'll only ever get messages from the active ASA you'll get messages from both IPS IP's depending on which one happens to be in the active ASA at the time.
    Don't forget that you have to manually replicate all IPS configuration every time you make a change.
    HTH

  • How to unselect magic wand tool to select another area?

    This is so silly but it is driving me nuts.  I used to be able to select an area with the Magic Wand tool and then when I was done, click on something else and it would "deselect."  But now it doesn't do that anymore.  Did I change a setting somehow by accident or did they do an update that changed that?  I hate having to do Ctrl D to deselect it when I used to just click on something else. 

    Thanks for your help.  I actually checked on the icons where you mentioned and the one I wanted was the "new selection box"  I had "add to selection" checked and so it wouldn't unselect when I went to new area.  So your answers helped!  Thanks so much.

  • Enhancing a line using Magic Wand

    We don't use Photoshop a lot, so this may be a simple question but I've been unable to get something to happen.
    I have a transparent GIF file, which outlines a series of counties in my state.  It is just a thin black line outline of these.  This is all that is on this GIF, although this file is merged over another file which is a topographical map.
    I need to make the county outlines into a thicker line so that they'll stand out more.  I'm able to grab the lines using the magic wand (which to me seems the natural thing to do), but from there I can't figure out how to increase the line width.
    This is an old version of Photoshop we've had for years, so I need to work this accordingly.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.
    ed

    No need for a selectionm, use Filter->Other->Minimum to increase the thickness of your black lines. If you want to go the Magic Wand route then once you have your selection, use Select->Modify->Expand.

  • How to use magic move with connection lines?

    When I use magic move with connection lines, they disappear and reappear in the next slide. It seems like magic move doesn't recognize the connection lines (or can't match them), so it just redraws them, instead of leaving them there.
    I'm trying to use magic move to make a nice presentation that includes connection lines. How can I make without the lines disappearing every time something moves?

    Group the shapes and connection line together:
    select the objects then Arrange > Group (alt Command G)

  • How to Use VuPoint Wand Scanner with Photoshop?

    I have recently purchased a VuPoint Magic Wand Portable Scanner. I would like to be able to use my Photoshop program with these scans. I can locate the images, open them in Photoshop, make adjustments to them, but I cannot figure out how and where to save them for export to a website. I am 58 years old, and the advancements in technology have left me a bit confused about what to do next. The SD card will not let me "save" the changes made to the image. So, how and where do I go from here?

    I'm not experienced with Windows 7, so for more detailed directions (including videos) on that stage of the process, I recommed this web page: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-IS/windows/explore/photos
    Once your scans are on your computer, you can start Photoshop, click on the word "File" on the top menu, and mouse down to the word "Open". The Open dialog will appear. In that dialog, you can navigate to the location where you stored your scans (the Picture library, for example). Once you've found it, click on one of your scanned images and click the "Open" button in the Open dialog.
    At this point, you can make any adjustments in Photoshop that you wish. When you've finished, click on the word "File" on the top menu, and mouse down to the word "Save". You can save the edited image with the same name, or you can change the name.
    One more thing: 58 is not old! ;-)

  • Is it possible to find and retrieve the pixel coordinates of a polygon image? Perhaps using Magic Wand and Paths?

  • Unable to use magic wand on masked shapes

    I'm trying to use the Magic Wand on some shapes that had a Clipping Mask applied to them and it does not select anything, though the Lasso seems to work when I drag it over the same shape. The shapes that are not working are ones that are being used to mask other images inside of them.

    hi sudha
    if u see my select statement is contains four Primary keys
    srvll
    lgreg
    ctsty
    guid_lclic
    but the next table connected to this table legcon is by guid_pobj and anothe table by guid_mobj
    and if i take this gt_sagmeld to another temp table and i find abt 10 lakh uniques guid_pobj
    similary 6 lakh guid_mobj so the next slect is hanpering because of this
    not COMING TO OUR POINT IF I SORT ONLY BY OUR PRIMARY KEYS NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TEH GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ
    THE ENTRIES ARE VERY LESS BUT IF I TAKE INOT ACCCOUNT IN GT_SAGMELD THE ENTRIES ARE ABT 20 LAKH
    SO I AM NOT SURE WHETHER TO TAKNE GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ INOT ACCOUNT FOR DELECTING ADJACENT DUPLICATES?
