This clever tool makes
selections by seeking
similar pixels. The options
bar houses two key settings.
Tolerance goes from 0 to
255, which – if you know
about tonal range values –
gives some indication of
how the setting functions. It
determines whether the tool
zeroes in on a narrow range
of tones, or casts a wider net.
Contiguous, the other key
Magic Wand tool setting,
either keeps the selection
confned to one area or
makes an unconnected,
image-wide selection.

TOP TIP
If you like the Magic Wand, try Color Range (Select > Color Range): it behaves in a very
similar way, but ofers more functions for fne-tuning the selected area.
