Sun tool in rhino for mac. Are there still no sun tools in Rhino 5 for Mac? I would think by 2018 there would be, but in my render tools I do not have access to a sun feature. I can make a directional light, but I would like to set a geographic location like you can in Windows.

How do you use the Magic Wand Tool in Adobe Photoshop CS5? Apparently it changed from CS3 (And CS4.). Before, when you use the Magic Wand to select certain parts of the area, it would 'update live' and show the parts of the image that you are selecting.

The Magic Wand tool in Photoshop Elements 11 works best when you have high-contrast images or images with a limited number of colors. For example, the optimum image for the Wand is a solid-colored object on a white background. Skip the Wand if the image has a ton of colors and no real definitive. The Magic Wand selection tool has been around since Photoshop was in its infancy and Elements was not yet a twinkle in Adobe’s eye. It’s extremely easy to use, but a little harder to predict what selection results it will present. Here’s how it works: You click inside the image, and the Magic.

1. A Magic Wand Tool is for selecting pixels, for which you would surely expect to use a Pixel editing program, like Photo? I think the Affinity idea is, you use Designer for Illustrations, Photo for Photos and when it comes out, Publisher for Page Layout.

3. The Magic Wand selection tool works by seeking out similarly toned pixels in an image. In the easy-to-follow Photoshop tutorial above, we'll show you how to use Tolerance to make great selections every time!

Now, this is delayed and the changes to the areas that you add or subtract to the area selection with the Magic Wand only happen after you release on mouseclick. This is rather inefficient, isn't it?

Or have I done something wrong?

How To Stop The Magic Wand Tool

This sounds like you want the functionality of Quick Selection Tool which is under the Magic Wand in the tool bar. Any chance you confused the two?

If I recall right, the magic wand has always worked 'after you release mouse click'. At least it does so in the CS1 and CS5 versions, which I have access to (CS1 doesn't even have the quick selection tool).

I agree with JFW. In CS4 I could see the selection line update as I was moving the mouse while I was using the magic wand tool. In CS5 I can't see it until I release the mouse button. IS there a setting somewhere I can change or did something break?

To save time in Photoshop CS6, Adobe has a great tool, the Quick Selection Tool. Think of it as a combo Brush, Magic Wand, Lasso tool. Easy to use — with surprisingly good results — it’s sure to become part of your selection arsenal.

To make short work of selecting by using this tool, follow these steps:

1. Select the Quick Selection tool from the Tools panel.

   The tool looks like a wand with a marquee around the end. It shares the Magic Wand tool’s flyout menu. You can also press the W key, and then press Shift+W until you get the tool.

2. If you’re making a new selection, be sure that the selection option is set to New Selection or Add to Selection on the Options bar.

3. Reformating tool for mac. Select your desired brush settings from the Brush picker on the Options bar.

4. If your image has layers and you want to make a selection from all the layers, select the Sample All Layers option.

   If you leave this option unselected, you select only from the current layer.

5. Select the Auto-Enhance option to have Photoshop assist you by automatically refining your selection by implementing an algorithm.

6. Click and drag over the desired areas of your image.

   Your selection grows while you drag.

   If you stop dragging and click in another portion of your image, your selection includes that clicked area.

7. Change your selection as needed.

   You have three options to change your selection:

   • To add to your selection, hold down the Shift key while dragging across your desired image areas. (If the Add to Selection option is selected on the Options bar, you don’t have to hold down the Shift key.)

   • To delete from your selection, press the Alt (Option on the Mac) key while dragging across your unwanted image areas.

   • You can also select the Add to Selection and Subtract from Selection options on the Options bar.

8. If you need to further fine-tune your selection, click the Refine Edges option on the Options bar.
