Hello,

Just trying to figure things out.

I'm trying to fill the inside of the outline I created with my Brushtool. I used the Magic wand tool to select the inside, however it just gives me ants marching on both sides of the outline. I just need the ants Marching on the inside of my outline. Can anyone help?

Check Contiguous in the Options bar.

Could you please post a screen shot that includes the...

  • Layers panel
  • Magic Wand Tool settings that should be running along the top of Photoshop

It sounds like the outline you created with the Brush tool may not have created a closed path. If it appears as if it should be closed, you can change the tolerance in the Options bar to a lower number.

 

You could also modify the selection made by the Magic Wand to remove the unwanted portion. One way would be to select the Lasso tool (L), select the Subtract from Selection icon in the Options bar (3rd from the left after the Lasso icon) or hold Alt (PC) or Option (macOS), and draw around the portion of the selection that you want to remove.

I agree with Myra. You might try selecting the pixels on the layer to see where the gap is, then close it by painting on it. To select the pixels:

  • Right-click the layer thumbnail > Select pixels
    or
  • Ctrl+click the layer thumbnail
