The Magic Wand Select tool outlines a portion of the screen that is the same color as a user selected color. The marquee can not be moved once it is place on the display, but it can be added to or subtracted from to change the area of the selection.

Click the button
In the Tool Options, select the Threshold and Type option.

Once the area has been selected, you can apply filters, coloring, opacity and blending to the selection.
Threshold |
The Threshold is a number between 0 and 255. The number 0 will only include pixels exactly like the pixel clicked upon. The number 255 will include all pixels in the image. A setting between 50 and 100 will select closely related pixels only. |
Selection Type |
Magic Wand - Selects only the pixels that are connected to the original pixel. Blue Screen - Selects all pixels in the image related to the original pixel. |
The Rectangular, Lasso and Magic Wand selection tools all work together to designate the select area. You can select with each tool and add or subtract from the selection with the Rectangular and Lasso select tools. The Magic Wand only adds to the selection.
