  • Someone please tell me how to define the cutout selection tool.

    Someone please tell me how to define the cutout selection tool.  Is there a way to adjust the outline once it is automatically selected?

    In my version it is called the Cookie Cutter tool. If this is what you are referring to, drag out the shape for the "cut", then adjust with the corner handles of the bounding box. You can also enter dimensions on the tool's option bar. Finally, commit with the green checkmark.

  • Is the magic wand tool the best tool for cutting out a person's head?

    Need advice! The picture is of a girl with her hair blowing in the wind, so I'm not sure about using the magic wand tool.

    I guess we should ask what version of Photoshop the OP is using.
    One could arge that the OP should have provided that information by themselves and, if not, kind of deserves potentially being confused by having functionality presented that may not be part of their set-up …
    Edit: But in all fairness I suspect I may have omitted such information myself when I first started asking questions on this Forum.
    Not to mention that it seems somewhat remarkable howt many people seem to prefer talking about specific images to simply posting them (or lores or section of them) – which would make assessing the tasks in question often a lot easier.

  • Cannot find the Quick Selection Tool (previously paired with the magic wand tool) on Illustrator CC (newest version installed on October 14, 2014)

    I have just installed a new version of Illustrator CC and CS6 on October 14, 2014 and I couldn't find the Quick Selection Tool on this version, previously this tool is located with the magic wand tool

    I don't remember a quick selection tool in Illustrator. Are you sure this was in Illustrator?

  • Where do I find the magic wand tool?

    Where do I find the magic wand tool?

    It's in your Toolbox, the fourth area from the top.
    If you don't see it, the Quick Selection tool is probably chosen.
    Press (that's a press down, not a click) on the Quick Selection tool, and hold for a moment.
    You should see the Magic Wand. Move your cursor down and choose the Wand.

  • How do I make a brush signature when the tool bar is missing the magic wand tool?

    I am missing the magic wand tool from the tool bar on the left of cc.  How do I retrieve it or is it completely missing from the photoshop cc download?  I need it to make a brush signature for signing photos.

    Hi,
    Most likely the magic wand tool is not missing.
    The Magic Wand Tool is grouped with the Quick Selection Tool in the tool box

  • Don't even know how to describe this... Please tell me whats wrong!

    Yesterday, my Macbook shut off because of no power. I turned it back on about 20 mins later and my clock was wrong. I opened it and had to manually change the time from Dec 31, 2000 7 pm to current date and time. Next I noticed that Safari and FireFox were acting me for verification all the time on webpages. The biggest problem is that my Coursesmart app showed that one of my books was expired on 7-17-11, which isn't here yet. I tried to go to the website through the app and it said the certificate was not valid and that the website i was trying to go to might be fake. I talked to coursesmart up to the top techs, did some things with the computer like uninstall, update, keys,. they couldn't figure it out. I figured out that all of my certificates for anything are gone. I went through the key and found the area that says what my certificates are. Its like my computer has gone back and lost all of its information. Some websites are not working, passwords are not working, and its lagging sometimes. I can't timewarp my computer because it was never turned on. Please tell me whats wrong!

    The abnormal shutdown most likely resulted in corrupted files. Start with this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If this doesn't work (probably won't) then backup your files and reinstall OS X. The SL installer will not erase the drive but will install a new copy of OS X then transfer all your files and applications into the new system.

  • Magic Wand Tool Help, please

    This one is driving me a bit nuts.
    I work in a Hotel, and use a lot of company logos for display purposes on our 40inch screens (modulex), I work mostly with black backgrounds, as it looks better.
    Ok, on my other laptop , i have photoshop 7 and if i choose a logo like the one's below for example, i just drag the logo into photoshop 7.
    I don't want the red background or the white one, and on many other logos i don't want the background either, so all i do in photoshop 7 is use the magic wand tool & it automatically cuts it out, apart from the bits in the O's, As etc.
    EASY!!!
    However on my new laptop with photoshop CS5, i follow the same method, but the magic wand tool selects the whole image.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    What he meant was, in Photoshop, choose Edit - Preferences - Performance and see if the [  ] Enable OpenGL Drawing box is checked.
    If you do choose to change this setting to see if it makes any difference, remember to close and restart Photoshop before testing, and remember to turn it back on again after if it doesn't help with the problem.  This page describes what OpenGL does for you:

  • How to shift selection of magic wand tool by 2 pixels to take the edges off?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to make a selection with the magic wand tool and shift the selection edges by a pixel or two, but the 'refine edge' button doesn't seem to do anything.  I want to cut a pixel off all the outer edge of an image I have cut out of another picture.  Any help would be great thank you.

    Depending on whether you have selected the image or the background, use  Select > Modify > Expand Selection, or Select > Modify > Contract Selection

  • Content-aware-fill and magic-wand-tool

    Hello! I use the content-aware-fill to remove some text from a photo. To do so, I use the "Polygonal Lasso Tool", select the text with a generous border and click edit -> fill -> content-aware-fill.
    This works fine, but selecting a text with the lasso-tool is very much work. So I tried to use the magic-wand-tool - some clicks and the text is selected, very fast and fine. No applying the content-aware-fill - the text vanishes somehow, but the borders of the text are still visible. I guess you really have to select the text AND some background around it to make content-aware-fill work. But isn't there a way to do this with the magic-wand-tool? Increasing the tolerance didn't work, I would need something like "magic-wand-tool and increase the selected area +20 pixels in all directions".
    What procedure do you suggest?

    Are you trying to remove a watermark that says something like "Proof" or "Copyright"?  If so, you won't get much help here.  The best advice in that case is to actually pay for the photo.  It's surprising how many people ask for help doing illegal things.
    Please confirm you are not trying to defeat someone's copyright (e.g., post a small part of the image), and I'm sure you'll get more help.
