I don?t know if it?s a help to you or not, but I?ve found a really good way to use the wand. This way saves hours of work re-painting the map by hand.
If you want to work in a small area, say on an island, and not touch the rest of the world try this.
Lets say you want to change the forest on an island to a jungle.
1) Use the lasso tool to roughly circle the island. Now everything you do next will only affect the area inside that selected area. Have it set to the 1st or 2nd setting on the tool bar (?new selection? or ?add to selection?) It doesn?t matter which at this point.
2) Take the wand. Have it set to the last setting. ( Intersect with selection)
3) Touch the wand to the forest color inside the lasso area.
4) All the color that you selected within that lasso area is now selected. And NOT the whole map.
Of coarse this can be used in many different areas. Around mountains, forests, swamps, water. Anywhere you need to select a color in an area but not that color everywhere on the map.
Hope it helps
