Selecting the same colours [Magic Wand Tool]

[Elise_Murray7609]

Hello could you tell me how I can select all parts that are the same colour as it's only selecting one part of the same colour I'm using wand selection tool?

un-check the Contiguos box in the Magic Wand options.

Also, increase your Sample Size and Tolerance value as needed.

You can also Shift click on the other purple areas to add them to the selection.

Another way to select all areas of the same color is to use the command Select > Color Range, and sample the color.

Hello, thank you for the advice and tips. First, I want to apologize for the picture, and I didn’t mention that it was my ID map, so all the colours are exactly the same. I found that because my layer was an image and not a pixel layer, I couldn’t use the "Select Sampled Colour" option. Now I can, so I can mark one colour over the picture at once. However, I can’t find the "Flood Selection" tool?

Can you clarify whether you are using Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo?

The reason I ask is because three terms you used — pixel layer, Select Sampled Colour, and Flood Selection tool — are features in Affinity Photo, but this thread is the Adobe Photoshop community.

In Photoshop, those features have different names. The Flood Selection tool in Affinity Photo is similar to the Magic Wand tool in Photoshop, and the Select Sampled Colour option in Affinity Photo is similar to the Select Color Range command in Photoshop.
