Include areas of similar color in a selection

  1. Make a selection with a selection tool and do one of the following:
    • Choose Select > Grow to include all adjacent pixels falling within the tolerance range specified in the options bar. (You may have to switch to a selection tool that includes a tolerance range, such as the Magic Wand tool.) A higher Tolerance value adds a broader range of colors.

    • Choose Select > Similar to include pixels throughout the photo, not just adjacent ones, that fall within the tolerance range.

  2. To increase the selection incrementally, choose either command multiple times.
    Note: You cannot use the Grow and Similar commands on photos in bitmap mode.
