Tool MAGICWAND

From RealWorld Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

MAGICWAND is a drawing tool capable of selecting regions similar to the clicked pixel. The similarity is defined by a matching mode and a tolerance. The tool works similarly as flood-fill (SELECT_FLOODFILL works very similarly), but affects selection instead of actual pixels.

Magic wand offers two additional options that can be enabled or disabled in the tool properties panel:

  • Continuous boost - tolerance is increased in areas without edges and decreased in bumpy areas.
  • Smooth area edges - filters out single pixels and rounds the edges of the selected region.

[edit] Modifier keys

When SHIFT and/or CTRL keys are down while selecting, they modify the behavior of the tool.

  • No keys - previous selection is overwritten by new selection.
  • SHIFT - newly selected region is added to previous selection.
  • CTRL - new selection negates the old selection (also known as symmetrical difference or XOR function).
  • CTRL+SHIFT - newly selected region is removed from previous selection.
