it might be possible to make magic eye puzzles in Photoshop, using a pattern and the Displace filter. I've been trying around, but it doesn't seem to work perfectly, but there are some results. I think maybe it's a bit different to just shifting the pixels round a bit.
View 1 RepliesI was using my magic wand to select things with no trouble, then began working on something else. When I went back to using the magic wand, it was a rectangle and I couldn't get it to select anything. When I pressed the shift key, it would turn into the wand with a plus sign beside it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm want to use photoshop CS3's magic wand tool to make a selection of a colored shape on my background layer.
However when I click the mouse, the wand selects EVERYTHING on the layer. it doesn't matter what my tolerance level is set to. I've tried cranking it down to 0 and I still get everything selected.
how do you go about making those pimpin magic eye things?

I know it can be done in photoshop but I don't know the right combination.
I am having trouble with using Red Giants' Magic Bullet photo looks 2 plugin with PS CS6 (32&64).
The standalone program works fine on its own but fails to launch properly from PS's filter menu. It tries to launch the app but then reports an error, an error occurred (12288), Corrupted memory profile, then an error Can't open dest profile. These errors can't be cleared except by going into task manager to kill the app. Photoshop reports the error as Looks Builder failed to launch. Please ensure the application has not been renamed or moved from the install location and then Could not complete the Photo looks command because of a problem with the filter module interface.
I have been in contact with Red Giant but they are now struggling. I can't believe I am the only person that is getting this error but can't find anything specific on Google.
Error 12288 appears to relate to ICC problems.
The only non-standard thing about my installation is that all user data is on drive D & Page file on drive Z.
When I use the magic wand in Photoshop CS5, it selects the entire image, not just the section I'm hovering over. I'm working in a Windows environment.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have CS4 and am unable to use the wand tool as it used to work.I've checked the color picker settings, and it is always set to point sample, and STILL does this. I've checked and unchecked the anti-alias, contiguous, and sample all layers boxes and set them to every possible combination of the three. I've set the tolerance level to multiple numbers and it does not affect the fact that it selects like this. In fact, setting the tolerance and checking either anti-alias or contiguous does NOT affect how it selects, and it will always select like this. I've found that it is selecting EVERY color/line created, regardless of opacity of the line. I've reset the tool multiple times, reset the color picker multiple times, and reset all tools several times. No affect.
I've tried asking on Tumblr AND on deviantART and have asked Google multiple times since the issue rose, and have seen several fixes for similar problems (none of them exactly like this, as far as I could tell). I've also even gone into the AppData file and deleted the .psp file.
I've changed settings around in Photoshop, and it doesn't seem to affect anything. I really need to use the Magic Wand tool for my artwork, to select shapes in individual layers, so that I may shade them. Another problem with the selection is that whatever I select is aliased, despite the "anti-alias" box being checked.
I realize that I can use the "select pixels" option that shows up when I right click a layer, and it produces the same effect the wand tool ONCE had, but I'm used to using the wand. I'll be using the select pixels option for now.
I've bought and downloaded the Magic Picker 2 color wheel extension for Photoshop, though when I try and install it via the Adobe Extension Manager, I get the error message "You do not have the appropriate permissions required to perform this operation. Contact your system administrator to obtain permission".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI do illustrative site plans for an architecture firm. I frequently use the magic wand to create selections in pdf's created from a CAD system. I usually import them as a smart object so that they may be updated regularly as design changes are made. However, in CS4, I am finding it very difficult for the magic wand to make selections in between lines of a pdf. No matter what I set the tolerance at, it seems to select more than the area that I am trying to select. I recently installed all updates and it worked for one day and then returned to making incorrect selections.

Whenever I scroll the mouse "wheel" to zoom in, it zooms in at like 20% or so levels everytime, instead of smoothly as it did in CS4.

Select with the Magic Wand tool
I am curious about the math for the Magic Wand Tool in the following circumstance:
The RGB image has been converted to GREYSCALE and then into LAB mode.
The lightness channel is selected only and I wish to create various selections with MAGIC WAND TOOL based on numerical values entered in the field TOLERANCE.
The image (as described above) shows values in PERCENTACE for K (Black) when in LAB mode.
Now how does the value of TOLERANCE correspond to the value K: for this case?
I'm trying to select an area using the magic wand. It shows the icon of the wand when I select it, then it changes to the rectangular marquee when I go to the image ... I've checked that I'm on the correct layer.
View 1 Replies View Relatedtrying to learn and use selections... I have a image from which I want to extract only the complete faces of some people. it's a tough one since the background and the hair are difficult to distinguish for some people even when using the magic wand. What I am trying is (while using the magic wand tool) is that I click on part of the image and if feels that the selection is correct then i do a right click and then select "Add to selection"...
Question: Once I have done so a couple of times, can I somehow display/show the intersection (SUM) of all the areas that I had added as selection and then either copy/paste or do somethiing.
I just installed Photoshop CS3, and I cannot find the magic wand tool anywhere! If I look up "magic wand" in the help it says it's there ("click on the magic wand tool") ... but it's not in my copy.
View 5 Replies View Related1. If I use the magic wand on a very odd black shape to select it and then copy & paste this shape on top of another layer, I used to have resizing handles to resize it. For some reason I'm doing the same thing but I don't see the handles. What did I do wrong?
2. The same shape as above selected with magic wand, when pasted on top of another black shape, I see a thin white fringe as part as part of the cut shape.
I'm trying to cut out the outline of a guitar from a photo using the magic want tool.
The line never seems that sharp.
Always step shaped aliasing on close up.
Tried the feathering option but then it just seemed blurry.
How do you get the cleanest sharpest contour line possible.
Touch up by hand takes forever and is hard to get neat.
Does it matter how enlarged the photo is when you are working on it?
odd behavior when using the magic wand tool for cropping a scan down to the actual image. My process is as follows:
1. Generally to scan the image with no cropped selection so the imported image is the entire scanner bed, with the image located accordingly.
2. Using the magic wand, select the image
3. Select inverse(ctrl-shift-i) yielding just the image as the selection
4. Ctrl-c to copy selection to clipboard
5. Ctrl-n to create a new image with the selection dimensions
6. Ctrl-v to paste the selection into the image
7. Crop accordingly
Today however, it seems as if the clipboard isn't responding like I would expect. What I'm getting from step 5 is a new image with the same dimensions as the entire scan with a white background, not the actual selection as indicated by the dotted border.
It's as if the magic wand tool is completely ignoring either the selection or the copy selection to clipboard process.
If I perform the same steps on a manually opened image, i.e. paste an image into a larger, white background image, selection tool to select, inverse, copy, new, paste, then it works fine.
