Hi, I like to use both Photoshop 6 and Corel Photo Paint for colouring black and white images. However I prefer to use Corel Photo Paint as there is a handy little tool just called a brush, it is found on the tools palate along with all the other selection tools. you can push the pixels into the outer edges of your selection if the selction tool that you have used hasn't picked them all up, as can quite often happen with black and white images. I hope I am making sense, what I want to know is, is there anything like this in Photoshop 6 as I can't find it. I know that you can use the + and - signs to push in or pull out the pixels in a selction but this is much more time consuming....Thanks in advance Val...

There's the "Quick Mask" feature - make a rough selection, then click on the Quick Mask icon at the bottom of the toolbar and you can use any of the normal tools and filters (including brush) to affect your selection. When you're done click on the "Quick Mask off" button to continue... -
Thanks for your fast answer Leah, I have just tried this and I have nearly got it working but all I can seem to do at the moment is add to the selection, in other words with the quick mask on , when I apply the paintbrush it fills in the mask, how can I get it to rub some off, if you see what I mean......There is no + or - available using the paintbrush....Thanks ValComment

Once in Quick Mask mode it works like a layer mask - so paint with white to add to the selection, paint with black to remove areas from the selection...Comment

Ok, so masking is really the equivalent of selecting, only easier (often) to work with. At least I think that's right.
Making a selection and then applying a quick mask is easy.
Extending the mask with a brush is easy. It seems to me that it's only useful if one can convert the mask...

hi,
I have noticed when using the quick selection tool that the selection has about a 1-3 pixal feather around it edges, and it also noticiable when you do a mask. Sometimes that works to my advantage but other times I end up doing a little sharpening.
At first I thought it was...12-22-2011, 07:32 AM -
I have a real pet peave with using the lasso tools and after you make a great selection and delete you find that feather was set to 0, and if you undo and hit 0 for feather the current selection still has a 3px feather...grrr. Is there anyway to reset the feather to 0 without re-selecting???09-15-2007, 11:04 AM

Did a multi exposure fusion process but left with a problem.
The window frames are painted white. Because no light actually hit them in even the brightest exposures, they end of looking like they're painted gray. I've because of the way the frame areas intersect I'm trying trying to make...02-13-2012, 05:14 AM -
I am being taught that, in quick select, I can expand or contract a selected area
by using a paint brush. Pick white and I expand a selected area, pick black and I subtract from it. Very useful for primping selections, particularly rough ideas selected with a lasso tool. Problem is, when I picked...06-17-2016, 04:27 PM
