This maneuver previews your selection as a red overlay, making it easier to see atop your image (Pixelmator automatically previews areas outside of your selection in red). In the resulting dialog box, click the View menu and choose Overlay. In Photoshop or Elements, click the Refine Edge button in the Options bar (in Pixelmator, choose Edit > Refine Selection). When you’re finished, you should have a selection of both pupils.įor the new pupils to blend properly with surrounding pixels, soften the selection’s edges. Once you’ve gotten the first pupil selected, Shift-click to select the other one. To continue adding more pixels to the selection, Shift-click atop pixels that aren’t yet included in the selection, and then drag downward to adjust tolerance. As you drag, the area that will be included in your selection is highlighted (shown here in darkish green) release your mouse button to see the new selection. In Pixelmator, adjusting tolerance is much easier-you visually increase it by dragging downward with your mouse. In Photoshop or Elements, the Tolerance setting lives in the Options bar, though once you change it you’ll need to re-create the selection. If Shift-clicking doesn’t do the trick, increase the Magic Wand’s Tolerance setting-a higher value means more pixels will be included in the selection, while a lower number means fewer pixels will be included. Shift-click as many times as necessary to select the entire pupil (the Shift key puts the tool in Add to Selection mode). Press W to activate the Magic Wand, mouse over to one of the pupils and then click inside of it to select it. In order to rebuild the pupils, you need to select them first.
