                       Magic Wand Tool

                  Magic Wand Tool selects area of similar colour pixels around it with just one click. One of the most
                  common uses of this tool is to remove the background of an image leaving the main object in place.
                  It works best when the image has few colours only or the background and the object is clearly
                  differentiated.
                  Perform the following steps to use the Magic Wand Tool:

                  Step 1:    Open an image in Photoshop.
                  Step 2:    Select the Magic Wand Tool from the Tools panel.
                  Step 3:       Set  the  Tolerance property in  the  Options bar. In case  of  higher  value, wider  area is
                             selected. If you increase the Tolerance to 50 or more, it will make the selection more
                             universal and tend to select all the nearby shades with same tint/colour. Make sure that
                             the Anti-alias and Contiguous options are checked from the Options bar.

                  Step 4:       Click on the area where you want to make selection. It is better to select the background
                             of an image and then invert the selection, instead of wasting time with the Lasso Tool and
                             drawing a more complex shape. You can choose Inverse from the Select tab in the Menu
                             Bar.
