Use the Magic Wand tool to select content rather than defining edges in the image. It works well for selecting a complex part of an image that has distinctly different pixels from other parts—for example, a pink rose surrounded by green leaves. The tool uses four types of values for making selections—color (RGB value), hue, brightness, or opacity.
With the Magic Wand, you select the type of match you want (such as hue), choose a tolerance that determines how closely pixels must match, and then click once in the image to select the pixel that the other pixels are compared to.
To use the Magic Wand tool:
If the image has more than one layer, on the Layer palette click the layer name which contains the part of the image you want to select.
On the Tools toolbar, choose
the Magic Wand tool 
from
the Selection tool flyout.
On the Tool Options palette, choose the Match mode to determine how Paint Shop Pro creates the selection:
None Chooses all pixels.
RGB Value Chooses pixels that match the red, green, and blue value of the color that you select in the image.
Color Chooses pixels of the same color.
Hue Chooses pixels based on the position in the color wheel of the hues you select within the image.
Brightness Chooses pixels based on the brightness of the color you select within the image. For example, use this option to select dark areas of an image.
All Opaque Chooses only areas containing pixels. No transparent areas are selected.
Opacity Chooses pixels based on their opacity.
On the Tool Options palette, choose from these additional options:
Tolerance Controls how closely the selected pixels must match the initial pixel you click. At low settings, the values must be close. At higher settings, the Magic Wand tool selects a wider range of pixels.
Feather A width in pixels (0 to 200) that the selection is faded along the edges. Feathering controls the sharpness of a selection’s edges. For a detailed description, see Changing the Feathering of a Selection.
Sample Merged Mark this check box to have the Magic Wand tool search for matching pixels in the merged image. Clear this check box to limit the selection to the active layer.
Contiguous Mark this check box to select pixels that connect to your original pixel. Unchecked, this option selects any image pixel meeting the other criteria you’ve set.
Anti-alias Choose whether you want to anti-alias the selection, and then from the drop-list choose to anti-alias inside or outside of the selection marquee.
Click the part of the image that
has pixels you want to match. The selection marquee surrounds all matching
pixels.
If the Magic Wand tool selected more pixels or fewer pixels than you
wanted, adjust the Tolerance value and make a new selection.
To modify the selection, from the Mode drop-down list, choose:
Replace to replace an existing selection with a new selection.
Add to add to the selection, click another area of the image. (Holding down Shift will also do this.)
Remove to subtract from the selection, click within the original selection to remove the selection. (Holding down Ctrl will also do this.)
Note: Use the Expand or Select Similar commands to add to the selection. See Modifying Selections.
You can now edit the contents of the selection (move it, copy it, paint in it, correct colors, apply effects, etc.). The selection remains active until you make another selection or right-click to deselect it.
Note: Sometimes the easiest way to select a complicated part of an image is to select the part of the image that you don’t want and then invert the selection. For example, if you have a picture of a tree silhouetted against a blue sky, use the Magic Wand tool to select the sky and then invert the selection to select the tree. For more information, see Selecting Everything Outside the Selection.
