How does one select just the text without the center of the ‘O, R, Q’ and such.

I thought it was the shift key, altkey, or ctl key, but its not working for me

thanks in advance for your help

you’re right I wasn’t clear enough

I’ve scaned text and it’s not text any more but on a jpg layer I need to select just the text parts, but not the insides of the o and such. As now when select the ‘text’ and copy it to another file the o has the previous background inside it.

thanks

Well, it depends on how precise you want it. You could manually trace everything with the Pen tool (making everything nice and clean)and then make a selection, or you could just use the magic wand and click on the black (or whatever the text color is)and go from there.
