Magic Wand Tool Illustrator

With photoshop, I can quicly do that with the magic wand. But on Illustrator, if I select the magic wand tool and click on the area, nothing happen. I don't find the solution and I'm very surprised how a simple thing on photoshop doesn't work (or work differently ?)

I'm using Illustrator for the first time in general and the first time on a new computer incase any of that applies. The magic wand tool won't select anything, the layer is in RGB mode and I've tried many different color tolerances but nothing happens. Please help, the only reason I got a new computer was cause my old one couldn't handle Illustrator so I hope it wasn't a huge waste.

I'm also new to Illustrator (6 years after this post was made...) and was having the same issue using the magic wand and vector images. I was able to fix my issue by going to View>Show Edges. The magic wand was selecting the matching fill-color items, but because the edges were turned off it looked like it wasn't selecting anything.

I feel like I used to be able to use the magic wand tool to select text of similar styling etc. However this doesn't seem to work for me anymore. I do have the magic wand window open and I've tried choosing between fill color stroke color etc but whenever I click on any text with magic wand, it only selects the one instance I clicked.

Yes I can use magic wand on text or a text box etc. But it will only select that single instance which defeats the point of the MWT. If it was by design to select a single instance, why wouldn't I just use arrow tool.

Gr! Sometimes, when I use the magic wand tool, I have it set to fill color and opacity with zero tolerance on both and it will still only select by fill color. I'm using the most recent update but it has happened in older versions. What the hell am I overlooking? Is this a bug? Closing the program and opening it again doesn't always resolve it. It will just randomly start working properly again. Any input is greatly appreciated!

The Magic Wand tool (so named since it looks like a magic wand) is unique in the fact that you do not drag and select with this tool; you simply click. The Magic Wand tool creates a selection based on the shift in brightness ranges within an image. If there is a definable shift in the brightness of the pixels, it can be a very powerful tool for the selection of odd-shaped areas. To use the Magic Wand, click on the Magic Wand Tool button on the Tools panel.

I often need to change the color of multiple objects at once and using universal swatches is not an option (several artboards using the same swatches need to be changed to different colors). The wand tool is perfect for this except that it completely ignores live text. Even using select > same > fill color doesn't capture everything (maybe a bug). Including text when using the wand tool seems like a no brainer. It would be really useful for selecting text of the same size, weight, font, and other parameters as well.

The Magic Wand Tool allows quick global colour replacement and targetedselection of objects within your document. Why bother selecting individualobjects when you can let the magic wand tool do it for you?

The magic wand tool allows you to select multiple objects by fill colour, stroke, stroke weight, opacity and blending mode. Imagine you have created a complex artwork with hundreds of shapes and you realize the orange dots are a little too orange, for example. You can use the magic wand tool to select only those objects that have a fill of orange and then you tweak the color on ALL the shapes at once.

You can select a stroke color if a particular color line surrounds the object you wish to choose. Stroke color refers to the line surrounding an object, while fill color is the region inside the line. If you utilize the stroke color as your criterion, you will click the line surrounding the object to describe the color, not the inside portion of the object. When you click the magic wand tool on a particular color line with this criterion selected, all objects with that line color that is present around them will be chosen.

The tolerance box allows you to put a number in pixels in the range of 0-100 for CMYK and 0-255 for RGB when you select either stroke color or fill color. The number you enter in the tolerance box influences how flexible the tool should be when all of the colors to the region are matched when you click the magic wand tool.

Step 2: Click the object on the picture you intend to keep. Click once on the forefront object to choose it per the standard defined in the settings of the magic wand tool. A dotted outline will materialize around the chosen object once you click it.

Some might think of the lasso tool and magic wand as a bit gimmicky, but they can be very useful in certain situations. In the example below you can see a square I created. It has a point on each edge. I need to create a star with 4 points. Using the lasso tool, I can drag around the 4 edge points with one single action, rather than using the direct selection tool to select each point separately.

When you need to select objects that have similarities such as the same stroke or fill colors, the magic wand is a convenient way to make such selections without much setup. You can use the (Y) keyboard shortcut to get to the wand tool. By default, it's set to select objects with the same fill color with a tolerance of 32. This means that any objects that have a fill color that varies by about 32% from the selected object will also be selected.

In the example below, I have a woman with a light skin tone. There is some variation in the skin tones, but all the other objects in the illustration are quite different. By using the magic wand, I can select a shape that is about in the middle of the color variation I need. With the default tolerance, I will only select the colors of her skin. I can then brighten or darken it as needed.

To change the tolerance, simply double-click the magic wand tool in the toolbar. Another way of doing this which I prefer is to hit ENTER on the keyboard. This will open the magic wand preferences. You can select a combination of the parameters and set any tolerance for each one. It doesn't allow complete control over your selection, but for quick and easy situations, it is a convenient solution. For making more complicated selections, I'll show you later how to use the Find and Replace plugin.

I have a stock computer illustration. It has parts on it that are black and other green spot colors. I need to add a secondary color to randomly selected green parts. I can't use the magic wand, because it will select ALL the green colors. I also can't use the Super Marquee tool because it will select from all the objects instead of just the green objects. I can use the green color.

Once you have decided on the portion you want to cut, select the pen tool from the toolbar. This tool lets you choose any object by producing a string of clicks. Each click helps you to create an anchor point. In this case, you select the object by moving orderly from the first anchor point and returning to it. Ultimately, you create an outline around the foreground object from these anchor points. Find the guide for how to crop in illustrator,

If the Magic Wand tool (Y) isn't doing its job the way you think it should (i.e., it's not selecting objects that it should be selecting), make sure the blending modes are not causing a problem. Double-click on the Magic Wand tool in the Toolbox to open its palette and uncheck Blending Mode. Why? When it is checked, the wand will only select objects with the same fill and the same blending mode. (Note: If this option isn't showing, go to the palette's flyout menu and select Show Transparency Options).

The Magic Wand Tool, known simply as the Magic Wand, is one of the oldest selection tools in Photoshop. Unlike other selection tools that select pixels in an image based on shapes or by detecting object edges, the Magic Wand selects pixels based on tone and color. Many people tend to get frustrated with the Magic Wand (giving it the unfortunate nickname "tragic wand") because it can sometimes seem like it's impossible to control which pixels the tool selects.

In this tutorial, we're going to look beyond the magic, discover how the wand really works, and learn to recognize the situations that this ancient but still extremely useful selection tool was designed for.

Before we look at a real world example of the Magic Wand in action, let's see how the tool works and how there's really nothing magical about it. Here's a simple image I've created showing a black to white gradient separated by a solid red horizontal bar through its center:
