The tolerance setting for my wand tool is not working.

I currently have the tolerance set to 0, with anti-aliasing unchecked, and contiguous checked.

When trying to select a color that is 1 pixel in width or height – it selects it as if the tolerance is at 32+ pixels.

I have no probs selecting aliased colors, just not sharp single pixel width/height colors.

Anyone have any idea what the prob is and how I can fix it? This is really holding me up. I reinstalled photoshop 7 on windows xp and still have the problem. Everyone I know is stumped.

Thanks! -Nick

Do you have [ ] Use All Layers unchecked? Are you in the correct layer?

Generally reinstalling does NOT fix glitches like this. Try Resetting/Trashing Preferences.

Problem solved. The tolerance of the wand tool is also linked to ‘sample size’ of the color picker, which I had set to 5×5. Changing the color picker sample size to ‘point sample’ fixed the problem. -Nick

Click on the eyedropper tool. Make sure that "point size" is set to ne pixel. By default, when you click with a tool, Photoshop averages the values of the pixels around where you clicked. The setting you specify for the Eyedropper is used by all tools which examine pixel values.
