A little add on :)

hello people , I found a new way of selecting :))
Instead of using just "magic wand"  to select the photo , we can as well just vector masks to help us !
This is seriously a very useful tool for me . It did help me out to check whether i did my selection properly . previously i always have problem selecting those tiny mini parts. Now, it can all be solved using vector mask and eraser tool .
Follow the step below and begin .

Step 1 : Select a photo that you would like to edit . Open the photo at the Photoshop just like below.


Steap 2: Click "magic wand" and select the part or section that you like. You can adjust the tolerance level . The higher the tolerance level, the more colours can be selected. As for the photo below, it do not have many colour tones. Therefore, i can set the tolerance at 10. If the picture involved many colours, a higher tolerance can be selected to make the selection easier.


Step 3: Click on the "move tool" to move the cursor. Move the cursor to the layer to unlock the layer . Next, press "ALT" and the "vector mask" button together. A new layer is form next to the original one . All those unwanted part is deleted and a checkered background appear just like below.


Step 4: Delete the extra layer by moving it to the rubbish bin . A dialogue box written " Apply mask to layer before removing" . Click on the OK button to apply . After applying the mask and you found out that there are still certain part you didn't like it . Do not worry . Click on the "eraser tool" to delete it .Right click on your mouse to change the size of the eraser. Those marked in the red circle are to be erased using the rubber tool.


Step 5: Here come the final outcome :)



It's just as easy as ABC ! Try it out !
