I really like the quick selection tool, but sometimes it over selects. Is there a setting, like "tolerance" with the magic wand, that can help with this? I can’t seem to find it.

Thanks,

Peter

Adjusting the size of the brush acts a bit like tolerance. The smaller the brush, the preciser the selection.
Holding Alt/Option lets you delete from the selection and you can even do that first to exclude areas you don’t want to select. They should call it ‘the real magic wand’ tool 🙂

Hey, thanks Fred! It is a wonderful tool, overall.
