1. Re: Tolerance for Quick Selection tool
SaturnV Feb 2, 2011 12:17 PM (in response to Bent Nielsen)The logic in the Quick Selection tool is different enough from the Magic Wand that a numerical Tolerance option probably doesn't apply, but there is a way to make it select less. Do you know about the Option key trick? If clicking the Quick Selection tool selected too much, Option-click the Quick Selection tool on the areas you didn't want to select. That teaches the Quick Selection tool not to select similar areas again. Having done that, the next time you click the Quick Selection tool it should be more accurate. By alternately clicking the areas you want, and Option-clicking the areas you don't want, you progressively narrow down your selection until you get the selection you like. Then you can use the Refine Edge button to tune the edge.
In other words, instead of fiddling with Tolerance numbers, you can teach the tool by clicking.

Bent Nielsen Feb 2, 2011 1:40 PM (in response to SaturnV)Thank you for clarifying info about Quick Selection too. I will follow your instructions, so by and by, me and my computer should get to know each other better, or at least the computer should get to know me better, taking over more work - leaving me to take pictures. Unless, of course, if my camera picks up on my preferences and then starts shooting on its own - leaving me to...
