Selecting all parts of an object in Photo Shop
Posted on 2014-04-05
For some reason, I can not seem to find a way to just select an image on the canvas. I tried the quick selection tool and it selected the perimeter of the image. When I try to move the selected image; the perimeter moved without the inside parts. If I use the magic wand, I would have to very meticulously select each little part of the entire image separately. There must be an easier way to do this. Thank you for your help.

Have you tried using the Pen tool? It is much easier to outline an image than the quick selection tool.
Here is a very good tutorial on using the Pen tool to make a Path, then turning it into a selection.

CTRL+click on the layer's thumbnail (not the eye, not the name) and you'll select all the non-transparent pixels on that layer.
You can then do with them as you please.
