i really don't know if this topic should go in the help forum but since it has to do with graphic arts i decided to post it here.
i would like to know how to use the magic wand funtion so i can select a complete figure (say, a person in a photo). i also want to know how can i eliminate the figure and let the boundary so i can get a blank figure (like a drawing of the figure).
If it has a really simple background, just select the background then go to Select>Inverse. ^^ Play with the tolerance levels a bit, I almost never use anything over 40. A low number makes it much easier to control.
Click the Magic wand, click inside the characters body, and hit "delete". If you want to get rid of his surroundings, click the outside with the magic wand and hit "delete".
Although I'm not sure what you're trying to ask...
