Does anyone know?

In Photoshop, say you want to capture part of an image and you don’t want to use the lasso or magnatic lasso. There is something in photoshop that, when applied, looks like the result you get with Magic Wand – some call it "crawling ants." BUT – with that you have to adjust for color to determine what the wand captures. This other function (which I am ASKING about) looks like magic wand, you get that "crawling ants" result but the "ants" are INSIDE the portion you want to capture; then you have to keep clicking the mouse to get rid of that until the lines are ONLY around the image you want to capture. WHAT IS THAT and HOW, step by step, do you do that?

Then, after that is done, (and whether or not you used this function I’m asking about, OR the lasso) how do you change the COLOR of that part that you captured?

THANKS!

I think you’re asking about ‘add to selection’

Click the magic wand inside the selection
then hold down shift and click the wand again on an adjacent part of the final selection – the marching ants will move outwards.

Repeat by holding shift and clicking on all unselected parts of your object until they’re all within the ant boundary.

To change the colour you could make a new layer out of your selection (Layer>New>Layer via copy) then use the various colour changing options under Image>Adjustments.

Wouldn’t go that way myself but it will at least get you moving in the right direction
