It will select any areas of a similar color to the one you selected. You can adjust the "fuzziness" of the tool in the tool options dock. A lower number will select colors closer to the color that you chose in the first place. .. important:: Most of the behavior of the Similar Color Selection Tool is common to all other selection tools, please make sure to read :ref:`selections_basics` to learn more about this tool. Hotkeys and Sticky keys ----------------------- * :kbd:`R` sets the selection to 'replace' in the tool options, this is the default mode. * :kbd:`A` sets the selection to 'add' in the tool options. * :kbd:`S` sets the selection to 'subtract' in the tool options. -<<<<<<< HEAD * :kbd:`Shift +` |mouseleft| sets the subsequent selection to 'add'.

Anti-aliasing This toggles whether or not to give selections feathered edges. Some people prefer hard-jagged edges for their selections. .. note:: Anti-aliasing is only available on Pixel Selection Mode. Fuzziness This controls the range of the color hue used to create the selection. A lower number will select colors closer to the color that you chose in the first place. And a higher number will expand the hue range and select colors even if they are not so similar to the original color.
