Wand tool selects all the pixels of a particular color or color range. It's most useful for

To use anti-aliasing, select a lasso tool, or the Elliptical Marquee or Magic Wand tool,
and select Anti-alias in the options bar. To apply anti-aliasing, you must select the
option before making the selection. Once a selection is made, you cannot add anti-
aliasing to it.

add feathering to an existing selection.
To define a feathered edge for a selection tool, select any of the lasso or marquee tools.
Enter a Feather value in the options bar. This value defines the width of the feathered
edge and can range from 1 to 250 pixels.
To define a feathered edge for an existing selection, choose Select > Modify > Feather.
