In my opinion, it won't work well, and will require masking. I'd like to try using the Flood Select Tool, and delete.

firstdefence Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Select the flood select tool Set Mode: New Tolerance: 11% Contiguous: uncheck Single click on the background The tolerance you can find by selecting the flood fill tool and click drag the cursor down on the background until it starts to select parts of the girl then drag back up until those parts of the girl are unselected. Once the background is selected you can use Select > Grow/shrink 1px Select > Feather 1px There a few spots that do not get selected iuli and Aaron Martin 1 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Aaron Martin Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thank you all. How does photo define where i selected while im recording the macro? Is it by x and y basis? Can it be changed to a certain color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I believe in macros the magic wand selects due to the initially accessed and recorded coordinates and tolerence setting (when using a single click) in a bitmap, so the color can be afterwards a different one than that initial recorded one region during macro replay. Meaning it still should select an underneath region starting at that coordinate position and the selections extend depends then on the respective colored area size of that region. - You can try out and then see how it behaves on different bitmap images.
