I am trying to gear up and drop me 'working for the man' and start my own business. I am a web/app developer for the e-learning community. For several years, I have been working with Adobe products. I am currently searching the tools that I use in Adobe PS/AI in other products. My wife recently bought me Xara Designer (probably so I could help her with her Pit Bull website). But I have been searching the default (no plugin) tool box for anything that can do the Magic Wand Tools job. I just have not found it. Can anyone point me in the right direction???

Magic Wand - select a pixel/color on the screen. Magic wand will then select all colors that correlate to your selection. I use the magic wand to kill backgrounds out of photos.

I like the Xara product.
