  5. Set the tolerance. The tolerance determines how sensitive the magic wand tool is by setting a range of how many different shades of a tone can be selected. Type a number between 0 and 255 next to "Tolerance" in the Options bar at the top of the screen, below the menu bar. The higher the number, the larger the selection will be.[1]

  6. Turn "Contiguous" off (optional). By default, Contiguous is turned on. This means that the magic wand will only select pixels next to the area you click. If you turn Contiguous off, it will select all pixels in the entire image within the tolerance range. If you want to turn "Contiguous" off, click the checkbox next to "Contiguous" in the Options to uncheck it.

  8. Turn "Sample All Layers" on (optional). If you are working with multiple layers, you may want to click the checkbox next to "Sample All Layers" in the Options bar at the top. This will allow the magic want to sample all layers when making a selection, and not just the active one.
