CS 6 Help - Magic Wand Tool

[Mystery57]

One of the problems I experience as a newbie to Photoshop is when using the Magic Wand or one of the other selection tools, I often have areas selected that I dont want to be included.

Is it possible to deselect portions of the area selected ?


thanks

Magic wand tool has + and - settings (top bar) so you can chose whether it selects an area to be included or excluded. So if your selection has included too much go back to the 'extra' area with the setting on - and reduce the area to where you want it to be.

Or hold down alt and click on the selection you want to remove (does the same as above)
