Quick Selection

Quick Selection tool is the most advanced of all current selection tools. Yes, it is more advanced than the Magic Wand and the Magnetic Lasso. Once you learn how to use it, you will probably never want to use any other selection tool.

Quick Selection works like a Brush, it selects each stroke that you draw. In addition, it expands each stroke to the surrounding area, and selects all related areas (similarly to the Magic Wand). You can learn more at photopea.com/learn.

Similar tools are present in many advanced photo editors, such as Photoshop or Pixelmator. Photopea is probably the first editor, which offers this tool for free. Try it yourself here (press W to enable Quick Selection, increase the diameter and draw over the image).
