Why would I want to "select part of an image, click on image to select pixels with same color".....................HUH?
As you grow there will be countless reasons. 1st off there will be basically 2 reasons you will be using PhotoFiltre:
#1 To work on an image already created whether it be a photograph you have taken or a piece of clip-art.
#2 You can create images like text, a web site banner, buttons, scrap book pages if you are into scapping and just about anything else you can think of.
That being said here are some real word examples of why you would want to select only part of an image:
1) You could take a piece of Clip-Art, select a girls dress and change it from red to blue to better match a project you are working on.
2) You could be working on a photograph you have taken and maybe half of a persons face could be real dark, by selecting only the dark part you could lighten it a little without changing anything else in the photo.
3) As you get more creative how about taking the person in the picture above and putting them in front of a great sun set instead of the cloudy background there is now.
Getting the idea?
what does the magic wand do to a picture? How do I use it, what change will it make?
I gave you examples why you would want to select only part of an image above. Well the Magic Wand is one of the ways of selecting only part of an image.
There are various ways to create a selection with PhotoFiltre. Selections are the portions or parts that you select to work on. There are the normal shape ones like the triangle, elipse, rectangle etc... the polygon and lasso tool and the Mggic Wand.
The best way to learn how to use the magic wand tool is to play around with it. Open an image of a person with a solid color background then select the Magic Wand. Now Click the background of the image oand you will see a region selected close to the color you selelcted in the photo.
If you noticed when you selelcted the Magic Wand there are 2 choices at the bottom for settings for the wand.
Tolerance and Color:
Tolerance settings will increase or dcrease the amount of colors the wand will select that are close to the color you selelct. 1 for example will only selelct a small area while 100 will select quite a bit more colors or shades of the color you selected.
Color means if you select color it will select every instance of that color in the photo, this can be bad for example if you have a person on a white background and they have white teeth. By selecting both the background and the teeth and you want to make the background yellow I doubt your model would be happy if you made their teeth yellow too
