Adobe Photoshop is full of tools that can help you work wonders with your images. Some of the amazing things you can start with is to get better in using the Selection Tools.

Adobe Photoshop Magic Wand Tool

Today, I want to talk about the Magic Wand tool. It can be used to select an area, based on the color of the nearby pixels. You can set the tolerance and check the selection. If it is selecting too much area, then you can lower the tolerance, otherwise increase it. I usually keep it to about 20-30 to get started on any image.

See the video below to get a better idea of how to use the magic wand tool in Photoshop. This tools exists in all the versions of Adobe Photoshop… From Photoshop Version 7 to Adobe Photoshop CS to the latest Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop (Adobe CC).
