[@tdodo3026]

Thank you so much for your video!! Clear and precise explaination. Thank you!!

[@MiaHessMusic]

Thank you! I had a really simple section selected but couldn't remember how to get rid of the white background.

[@Nevermanvideo]

thank you very much I move from cs3 to the new version this year. Some toll did not work in the same way and it was driving me crazy. This simple video fix that issue and now I am back in busyness.

[@derekhall7070]

What a clear and precise video this is. Keep up the good work Brendan !

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

Glad you liked it!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Thank you for this clear explanation. Just what I watch this channel to see!

[@miri34sg]

A very good explanation! How do you remove "holes" (i.e. add small unselected areas) within your wand-selection (without going over each one)?

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

I would suggest just using the Brush Tool and painting on the layer mask to fill mistakes. Much easier overall.

[@arneogaard]

Thank you Brendan!

[@christianmorley5432]

Is there a way you can manually outline something and delete whatever is not outlined?

[@geoffbaker380]

Best Video ... so appreciated!!!

[@haymhann2720]

Thank you so much for your explanation.

[@blairm5371]

What if you want to delete some of a colour (white in my situation) but not all of it in the image?

[@meyanyusuf312]

how about if i want to remove object but keep the background .?

thanks for youtr work. Nice presentation !

[@macdonaldquammie4021]

Great video. However, it would be helpful you provided the sample of the photo used. This is a key factor when learing photoshop!

Crystal clear explanation 👍

Glad to hear that

Great video Brendan. 1 question: I used the magic wand tool and selected a character on my image, then used the Selection tool and moved it to another location. Good so far. Then I went to the Magic Wand and clicked on another character and this is where it got weird. The new selection was not selected, instead, the previous (moved) selection got the marching ants again. Any suggestion?

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

Make sure to hold Shift to add to whatever active selection you have. Also if your other character is in a different layer this can cause this problem too. So you might want to choose the all layers sample setting in that case.

[@jamesmedina4770]

For some reason I'm not getting all the same wand options in 2021 photoshop. Not liking the new interface.

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

Hmm, this video was recorded with Ps 2021 so they should be there.

[@thywillmawufemor5495]

🇬🇭🇬🇭You're the best

[@kitsumiii]

Why is there no youtube video about how to use the magic wand tool on a busy background?? I hate that so much

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

If you have a busy background I would not suggest the magic wand tool. The Pen Tool is typically the best fail safe. If the image is high contrast against the background, you can use channels instead.

[@thefonzkiss]

Yeah but this is like using a screwdriver to nail in a hammer. You’re using an outdated way to do things when the background remover is a thing.

Nothing works...nothing at all...
