How Do I Deselect Quick Selection in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:09 am

Photoshop’s Quick Selection tool is a great way to quickly select an object in an image. But what if you want to deselect the Quick Selection tool? Here’s how:

First, make sure that the Quick Selection tool is selected in the Toolbox. Then, click on the “Deselect” button in the options bar at the top of the screen.

You can also use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+D (Windows) or Shift+Command+D (Mac) to deselect the Quick Selection tool.

PRO TIP: If you are using the Quick Selection tool in Photoshop and want to deselect your selection, be sure to press and hold the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Mac OS) before you click outside the selection area. If you don’t hold down a key as you click, you’ll add to your selection instead of deselecting.

If you want to deselect a specific area that you’ve selected with the Quick Selection tool, you can hold down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key and click on the area that you want to deselect. Alternatively, you can use the “Subtract from selection” option in the options bar.

That’s all there is to it! Deselecting the Quick Selection tool is easy once you know how.

To sum up, deselecting the Quick Selection tool in Photoshop is easy to do once you know how. You can either click on the “Deselect” button in the options bar, use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+D (Windows) or Shift+Command+D (Mac), or hold down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key and click on the area that you want to deselect.
