The selection process can be fast and easy, but also complex and time-consuming. It depends on the goal you are trying to achieve. In this article, I\u2019ll teach you how to invert the selection in Photoshop. You\u2019ll see that this knowledge will be useful and highly applicable in all your future photo editing adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, <strong>inverting a selection means that your originally selected area becomes unselected, while the previously unselected area becomes selected<\/strong>. There are a few ways how you can achieve that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 quick methods to invert selection in Photoshop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the following example. First, open an image. In my case, it\u2019s an image of a cup of coffee on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, select the part of an image you don\u2019t want to have selected in the end. You can do that by using one of the selection tools (Marquee tools, Lasso tools, or Quick selection tools).\u00a0Draw the selection boundaries around that part of an image. You\u2019ll know that the <strong>selection is active when you see short, dashed lines surrounding the selected area<\/strong>, also known as the marching ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-01.webp\" alt=\"Active selection around the cup of coffee.\" class=\"wp-image-1457\" width=\"600\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-01.webp 800w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-01-300x237.webp 300w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-01-768x608.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just for demonstration, I will delete everything that is covered by selection by pressing the <strong>Del <\/strong>key shortcut. You can see that the cup of coffee disappeared, leaving the empty space in the middle of the layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-02.webp\" alt=\"Removed content leaving empty space inside of selected area.\" class=\"wp-image-1461\" width=\"600\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-02.webp 800w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-02-300x237.webp 300w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-02-768x608.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To invert the selection, first, make sure you have an active selection<\/strong>. Then use one of the following 3 methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Press <strong>Ctrl+Shift+I<\/strong> (Windows) or <strong>Command+Shift+I<\/strong> (Mac).<\/li><li>Go to <strong>Select > Inverse<\/strong>.<br><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"373\" height=\"226\" class=\"wp-image-1463\" style=\"width: 300px;\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-03.webp\" alt=\"Select &gt; Inverse\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-03.webp 373w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-03-300x182.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/><\/li><li><strong>Right-click<\/strong> on the selection, then choose <strong>Select Inverse<\/strong>.<br><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"445\" height=\"270\" class=\"wp-image-1478\" style=\"width: 300px;\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-04.webp\" alt=\"Right click &gt; Select Inverse\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-04.webp 445w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-04-300x182.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever method you used, you will now have the opposite area selected. The previously <strong>selected area became unselected<\/strong>, while the previously <strong>unselected area became selected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see in the used example that the selection now covers everything except the cup of coffee. It covers the area between the edges of the image and the cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-05.webp\" alt=\"Inverted selection in Photoshop.\" class=\"wp-image-1464\" width=\"600\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-05.webp 800w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-05-300x237.webp 300w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-05-768x608.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, to show you what area is covered by the inverted selection, I\u2019ll delete the selected area by pressing <strong>Del<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-06.webp\" alt=\"Result of removing content inside inverted selection in Photoshop.\" class=\"wp-image-1465\" width=\"600\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-06.webp 800w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-06-300x237.webp 300w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-06-768x608.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can invert the selection as many times as you want to switch back and forth between selected areas. Also, if you are not satisfied with the selection you can fine-tune it or even deselect everything as I already explained <a href=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/how-to-deselect-in-photoshop\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to invert selection in Photoshop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why in the first place would you need to invert the selection in Photoshop? While in many cases you won\u2019t need to invert the selection in Photoshop, there are some specific cases when it will make your life easier. These are the 2 most common ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Correct a mistakenly selected area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, the first and most obvious reason to invert a selection is if you made a mistake and selected the opposite area from the one you had to. In that case, instead of creating a new selection from scratch, you can <strong>inverse selection to correct the mistake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Simplify the selection process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second reason to invert selection is<strong> to simplify your selection process<\/strong>. Yes, that may sound odd but let me explain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s put it in this perspective &#8211; you have an image in which you have to select an area with all kinds of complex edges and patterns. Then you start drawing the selection and soon realize it isn\u2019t fun anymore because it\u2019s so time-consuming. It would be much easier if you first selected the less complex part of an image and then just inverted it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will show you that by example. I have an image of green leaves with a very bright background and I want to select only leaves so I can use them as an individual layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-07.webp\" alt=\"Image of green leaves with a bright background.\" class=\"wp-image-1467\" width=\"600\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-07.webp 800w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-07-300x238.webp 300w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-07-768x609.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If I start adding leaf by leaf to the selection, the process will very soon become error-prone and time-consuming. Isn\u2019t there a better way to achieve the same goal? Of course there is, we just have to look at it from a different perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To select only green leaves you should instead follow these 4 simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong class=\"step-label\">Step 1.<\/strong> Choose the <strong>Magic Wand<\/strong> tool from the sidebar menu. Deselect the <strong>Contiguous <\/strong>option from the upper bar menu <strong>to enable combining selections that are not mutually connected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-08.webp\" alt=\"Choose the Magic Wand tool and deselect the Contiguous option from the upper bar menu.\" class=\"wp-image-1469\" width=\"600\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-08.webp 800w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-08-300x206.webp 300w, https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-08-768x526.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong class=\"step-label\">Step 2.<\/strong> Click somewhere on the bright area to select every part of an image that has the same color. Everything except green leaves should now be selected. At this point, use one of the 3 previously explained methods to invert the selection. I\u2019ll just use the shortcut <strong>Ctrl+Shift+I<\/strong> (Windows) or <strong>Command+Shift+I<\/strong> (Mac) to invert it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-09.webp\" alt=\"Selection made by using Magic Wand tool.

In the end, to separate the selected area from the background just press <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Windows) or<strong> Command+J<\/strong> (Mac). It will copy the selected area to the new layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/zerotoart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/invert-selection-photoshop-10.webp\" alt=\"Result of inverting the selection.
