I’d like to see if anyone can explain this strange phenomenon to me…
TEST IMAGE <http://tinypic.com/4tr6d7c>
Try this if you would…
Starting with the my test image, create a selection inside the red square with the rectangular marquee tool, then select the magic wand tool and set it to Tolerance 100, Anti-alias, Contiguous.
Now right click on your selection and click on "Similar".
The result should be a nice full selection of the red square <http://tinypic.com/4qh0y2q.jpg>
Here’s where things get weird.
Starting over, click on the center of the blue square with the magic wand tool (same settings as before). Now holding the shift key, again make a selection inside the red square with the rectangular marquee tool.
Finally reselect the magic wand tool and click similar from inside your selection. The result is different from what youd expect <http://tinypic.com/4v6362w.jpg>
Note the red square has not been fully selected despite instructing Photoshop to select pixels similar to the existing selection.
Needless to say Im getting frustrated by this issue since I depend on Photoshop for a living.
Thanks
