To refine an existing selection, use the Color Range command repeatedly to select a
subset of colors. For example, to select the green areas in a cyan selection, select Cyans in
the Color Range dialog box, and click OK. Then reopen the Color Range dialog box, and
select Greens. (The results are subtle because the technique selects parts of colors within a
color mix.)
To select a color range using sampled colors:
1 Choose Select > Color Range.
2 For Select, choose the Sampled Colors tool
3 Select one of the display options:
Selection to preview only the selection as you build it.
•
Image to preview the entire image. For example, you might want to sample from a part
•
of the image that isn't on-screen.
To toggle between the Image and Selection previews in the Color Range dialog box,
press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS).
4 Position the pointer over the image or preview area, and click to sample the colors you
want included.

5 Adjust the range of colors using the Fuzziness slider or by entering a value. To decrease
the range of colors selected, decrease the value. The Fuzziness option partially selects
pixels by controlling the degree to which related colors are included in the selection
(whereas the Tolerance option for the magic wand and paint bucket options increases the
range of colors that are fully selected).
