IвЂ™m going to say Photoshop look more carefully right there and notice what happened the blue went away. Hold down the alt option key, right click, drag it until it gets smaller. I got the refine edge tool active by default, you can see that itвЂ™s highlighted in grey there.

IвЂ™m going to zoom in on this so I can see them with the control, command, plus a couple of times and it zooms that image. You ask Photoshop to look at this a little bit more carefully and see if you can look for edges a little more carefully. LetвЂ™s refine this little guy is called refine radius tool, refine edge tool is the way to do that. IвЂ™m looking and IвЂ™m seeing little kind of goofy little stuff there where the blue is kind of coming through there a little bit. Now the overlay in the last one you had the option of adjusting how bright it was, how transparent it was but you donвЂ™t have the option here. Typically what you see it against is this overlay. And first thing is what do you want to see this thing against. ItвЂ™s not as cool as the one in the 2015 5.5 version but itвЂ™s still pretty cool. Now the marching ants are going around the scarecrow which is what we want it to do.Д¬lick on refine edge, now IвЂ™ll open up this refine edge dialog here. So the invert is control I but inverting selection is control command + shift + I. Now a second ago I inverted the colors black and white by doing controller command вЂ“ I, the invert selection itвЂ™s control or command I plus shift so control + shift + I. Before I do that I need to invert the selection. Right now IвЂ™ve selected the sky and I want to select the scarecrow. When you have a selection active like this (with marching ants going all over the place) and the selection tool is active you can use the refine edge tool. Now because thereвЂ™s a little bit of frizz here, it might not be perfectly selected and so when thereвЂ™s a little bit of frizzy edge to something thatвЂ™s sometimes when you want to use the refine edge tool.

That little blue there wasnвЂ™t selected, we got a little too far there weвЂ™ll fix that later. If you click on this guy here now from this point forward it will be adding to the selection every time I click.Дown here, now weвЂ™re much better off now you see that little spot there wasnвЂ™t selected, so inside there I did this spot which wasnвЂ™t selected so inside there. ThatвЂ™s the default behaviour of the magic wand, that is to select once and not add to it. Right now itвЂ™s just on selection here but if I click again itвЂ™s going to de-select what I just did and just keep on making new selections. It didnвЂ™t select down here but it selected all that based on the tolerance. It wonвЂ™t look there and it probably wonвЂ™t look there if you see where IвЂ™m pointing those are the little spots where it probably wonвЂ™t look.Д«ut if I just click here once, boom, thatвЂ™s what it found thatвЂ™s what I sort of selected. For all over here but it wonвЂ™t look inside there because thatвЂ™s not contiguous itвЂ™s separated. The default is contiguous meaning it will search for everything, wherever you click here itвЂ™s going to look for everything thatвЂ™s blue that touches the area where youвЂ™ve clicked. The quick selection tool and the magic wand, these are the two go to powerhouses of selection in Photoshop because magic wand has a tolerance, I think 32 is the default, it means itвЂ™s how wide this would look when you select the color.ДЄlso thereвЂ™s a thing called contiguous and another one thatвЂ™s called anti-alias (itвЂ™s there to smooth out the edges).ДЄnd then thereвЂ™s something called sample all layers, thatвЂ™s turned off we only have one layer here anyway, but sometimes you want to sample multiple layers. The magic wand tool is also up in this little special dual tool section here. So when you have something like this where you go this solid color and you want to select it so you that you can then invert it to select the object, you can use the magic wand tool. Note: remember to watch the video tutorial Jeff made for you, it will be much easier to follow the steps.
