To invert a selection made with the Magic Wand tool, go to the Select menu and choose Inverse.
The Magic Wand tool is commonly used to select areas of an image based on color similarity. After using the Magic Wand to select a background or other area you don't want selected, inverting the selection allows you to quickly select the remaining area.
Steps to Invert a Magic Wand Selection:
- Make a Selection: Use the Magic Wand tool to select the initial area in your image (e.g., a solid-colored background).
- Invert the Selection: Navigate to the "Select" menu at the top of your screen.
- Choose Inverse: Click on "Inverse" from the dropdown menu.
Now, the previously unselected area will be selected, and the originally selected area will be deselected. This is particularly useful when trying to isolate a specific object or subject against a simpler background.
