Wand

Overview

What Wand does

Wand creates a matte from pixel similarity rather than hand-drawn geometry. It is a fast way to isolate a reasonably uniform region, then refine that selection with range, softness and additional masks.

When to use it

Select a flat sky or wall
Create a quick color-region matte
Isolate a graphic element
Build a garbage mask
Combine with Polygon for cleanup
Drive localized effects
