GIMP :: Free Select Tool - Selection Points Disappear

Dec 2, 2012

I choose the Free Select Tool and painstakingly click around the border of something to remove the background. Typically it's a car and I do hundreds of tiny free select points tracing around the car's outline. I make my way around the entire car and double-click to connect the last point with the first one. Then all the selection points disappear, I have no selection around the car, and I'm unhappy.

Here's what happened. Before I started working I inadvertently had done a "Select All". The Free Select Tool was inadvertently left in "Add" mode. GIMP did what it was supposed to do, it added the car outline selection to the "Select All" selection - with the result equal to "Select All" - and there goes all my selection points around the car.

You can end up in the same bad place when "Select None" has been done and you inadvertently left the Free Select Tool in "subtract" mode.

Photoshop :: Feathering A Selection Outwards After Making A Selection

Dec 26, 2003

If I have mad a selection with say an ellipse marque, of say 100px and now I want to fether that same selection outwards, ie to start the feather 10 px outward of the 100px selection so that the 100th px has a 100% transparency and the 110th px has a transparency of zero,thus making the new selection 110px, how could I go about doing it. With the current feathering of the selection, it feathers only in the marquee already selected, not outward, and you cannot place negative feathering px. I know that there is most likely some sort of a ration where you would expand the selection by a certain amount of px, and then apply a ratio of feathering to it to enalble it to feather outside of the 100px marquee.

GIMP :: Selection Handles On Non-freshly Created Selection

Mar 1, 2013

Right after one makes a selection, say by using the Rectangle SelectTool, is presented with handles that allow altering the selection.

If one then selects another tool without deselecting is being deprivedof these handles while the selection remains active thus rendering himunable to alter the selection in that fashion.

Thus forming my question: is there a way to make these handles to(re-)appear on a non-freshly created selection?

Photoshop :: Making A Selection

Aug 16, 2013

For example, I will use the lasso tool to make a selection on a photo, as soon as I attempt to do this the image disappears, goes black, it will flicker on and off, when eventually the image reappears the selection has not been made. This is the new Photoshop CC.

Photoshop :: Making A Selection

May 23, 2009

I am trying to make and save a selection to then manipulate.  (I am following two different books.)  In my attempt to make and save a selection, I've used several of the selection tools.  I can easily get to the point where I have the 'marching ants' around the selection. 

But when I try to save the selection a little window comes up that says there are 'no pixels selected'.  I get to the point (using, for example, 'load selection' and 'save selection') that I name the selection but when I hit 'OK' the 'no pixels selected' notice pops up.

I've created a new layer and tried to save the selection in the layer.  Same 'no pixels selected' notice comes up.  I've tried to simply 'save the selection' - same 'no pixels selected' notice appears.  I've tried 'copy as new layer', I've even tried to drag the selection over to the layer - nope, doesn't work! 

Oh, and the really frustrating thing is that when I click out of the 'no pixels selected' notice window, my marching ants are gone and I have to start all over.  How do you 'get' the selection into a layer?

Photoshop :: Making Aliased Selection

Mar 27, 2012

I have a lot of images that were rendered out of 3DS MAX. A long time ago I recorded an action to make an alpha channel, use it as a mask, and save as 2 different file types. Worked great. Now, I need to open a bunch of these and somehow get rid of the anti aliasing around the image. I need crisp jaged edges. how to make an aliased selection?

Photoshop :: Making Selection On Paths

Oct 17, 2012

I may have changed a setting somehow. When I go to "make selection" of my path it only selects the very outside border of what I outlined and not anything inside of it. Also I have to select "inverse" before I copy and paste to get the part of the image I want.

Photoshop :: Making A Selection Around Multiple Layers

Jun 26, 2012

Before I start looking for work on transforming PSD's into working websites, I would like to learn some of the functions and features of Photoshop Creative Suite 5.1.  
 
I recently learned:

Ctrl + Win + Click on Desired Layer… To make a selection around the layer 
 
Then I clicked on, "Refine Edge"… I was able to make a perfect selection around what I wanted using this feature. Very nice, by the way.  
 
There were multiple layers, I merged the visible ones to make one layer. All of the stuff that makes up the banner, at the top of the page. My question is:
 
Can I make a selection around multiple layers, i.e. buttons, other pictures, etc.?
 
Side note question:

Does the document size have any effect on the overall size? Meaning: let's say that banner up top is 775 pixels across & maybe about 450 pixels tall… That's about the size of the image (the selected layer). The document size is laying on, is also 775 pixels across… But, 950 pixels tall. Will that document size have any effect on load time for a webpage?

Photoshop :: Making Selection In Illustrator - PS Integration?

Nov 25, 2012

I was wondering whether one could proceed as follow. Say, you want to make a vector mask of a given image, part of a photograph. One could of course use the built-in vector features of Photoshop (pen tool, vector shapes tool) to create the vector outlines used for the mask. But, it is possible to export the image in Illustrator, use all of the Illustrator vector tools to create the vector outline, and then import those vector outlines back into Photoshop, at the *exact* same place as they were in Illustrator (relative to the image being traced/masked).
 
I know how to go back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop, but I don't know how to ensure that the vector paths (from Illustrator) and image (from Photoshop) keep their relative positions between the programs.

Photoshop :: Button Set - Stuck At Making Selection...

Apr 24, 2009

I have been trying to create a button set with a foreground shape. What I am trying to accomplish is when this guy creates a selection with pen tool and deletes part of gradient from the button set, this gives it a shape/theme to the button set – This way I can create any shape on the buttons and they look like a theme. (maybe I am not explaining well but you get the idea) Where I am stuck is when I select all buttons and apply gradient to all, it only applies to a single layer (button) instead of all even though I can see all selected. Also when I make selection with pen tool and delete the gradient, it deletes from only one.

AutoDesk Smoke :: 2 Second Delay When Making A Selection?

Mar 31, 2013

Ive recently started having a problem w Smoke 2013.

Whenever I select ANYTHING (click on an item) there is a 2 second delay before it actually selects and hi lights the item. Its a really annoying delay.

Ive never had this issue before. Happens with just about any command I have Smoke do. Moving the timeline and zooming have the same issue.

This only happens with Smoke. Not with any other program I use. This happens when all the time. Even when Smoke is the only program I have open.

Currently TRYING to LEARN (key words): SMOKE for MAC
Currently using: Final Cut Pro 7, Photoshop/After effects on CS6
Current system:
MacPro5,1
12-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz
RAM: 12 GB

Photoshop :: Why Vector Selection Tool (white Arrow) Change Layer Selection To Another

Sep 1, 2013

I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
 
The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
 
I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?

Photoshop :: Selection / Patch - Select Blue With Quick Selection Tool?

Dec 10, 2012

If you look closely in the attached picture, there is a spot of light blue on the player's helmet, that looks like a mistake (think it should look like the grass behind it)...though it actually may be part of his helmet.
 
Regardless, I'd like to take it out. My idea was to select the blue with the quick selection tool, then bring that selection out to the grass, select the grass with that size/shape of selection, copy/paste and then bring the grass selection into the blue part so it looks like grass in what was the blue part.
 
The problem is I don't seem to be able to move the selection without taking the blue with it (so it's not an empty selection and therefore can't select a piece of the grass.)

Photoshop :: Selection On Sliders And Curves Altered When Click Off Them After Initial Selection

Sep 13, 2012

I have Photoshop CS5 on a Mac OS 10.7.4 My problem is that when I am using curves or a slider, my selection does not stay in the same place. For example, I chose the number 8 on a slider, after I release my selection it will either go one number after or before my selected number. I have had this problem since I got my computer, December 2011, but it has only recently started to frustrated me because of having to use Photoshop a little more than I usually do.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multiple Grip Selection Not Working When Pan Or Zoom During Selection

Jul 12, 2011

When I select a hatch or polyline or any object with grips for that matter, and hold down shift to select multiple grips on the object or objects and then press my middle mouse button to pan or scroll it to zoom, the grips that I have selected de-select, meaning I have to set up the view so that all the grips I want to move are visible before selecting them.

This is only happening on some drawings (although it is most of them) and only when I use 2012 not 2011. Which system variable it is that has gone screwy that I need to reset? or is it something else?

Photoshop :: Complex Selection - Best Selection Method To Drop Out A Background

Oct 24, 2011

how to "drop out" the background from this photo (I have loads to do which are very similar). Thus far I have tried channel selections and the calculations tool + all the normal quick selection tools and I just cant get it to work without spending hours adjusting things. The end effect I need to achieve is a perfect white background without loosing any of the detail if possible. On a side note I have also tried taking the photo on blue, green, black and white backgrounds but due to the number of colours present in the products its just not working for me.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Prevent Display Of Selection Lines Upon Selection?

Mar 28, 2013

I have a flexible sub-assembly in my top assembly. Sometiems I'm trying to demonstrate to others how a mechanism in the sub-assembly works using this flexibility feature. It works great, but when I move just one little part of a flexible assembly, Inventor displays the wire-mesh of the entire flexible assembly, because technically the entire assembly is selected, even though I'm only moving one part. It clutters up the screen very badly, detracting from what I'm trying to show.

Is there a way to prevent Inventor from displaying the selection lines? Either only when I'm moving a part in a flexible assembly (which would be great), or to just turn them off completely when I'm presenting like this? I know I can turn off pre-select, but that doesn't work, because once I start moving a part in the flexible assembly, the assembly is "selected" and the wire-mesh displays.

Is it possible to leave them in selection mode.

I want to this, because it will be better to use Editor.SelectImplied() instead of saving the last selection object Ids.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Remove A Selection Set From A Selection Set

Nov 15, 2013

I've created a lisp that draws the boltholes of a pipe flanges, using the correct number of holes, at the correct diameter at the correct bolt-hole diameter and then rotates.  Everything works seamlessly, when i do just one flange.  But I've discovered that fewuently there will be mulitple times when a user will have to perform the command.

So the idea I had was to do the following:

Select all circles with     (setq CirclesFirst (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "CIRCLE"))))

Go through the code to create the new circles.

Select all circles with     (setq Circles (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "CIRCLE"))))

Remove selection set "CirclesFirst" from "Circles".

But what for some reason (command "_.select" Circles "R" CirclesFirst "") does not work.

Photoshop :: Making A Selection Using CTRL+Click Layer Accurately

Feb 27, 2012

For some reason when I make a selection using CTRL+Click it never fully matches the cutout of the layer I am mimicking.  There is always trim. I've posted a picture to best describe what is happening. 

Fig A.
I've made a cutout using the background eraser.  Because of this you can see how the cutout appears to be somewhat transparent around the edge.
 
Fig B. 
When placed on 50% gray the hair trim is as detailed as I wanted.  It's a satisfying result.
 
Fig C. 
I now make a selected of this semi transparent cutout by cimply CTRL+Clicking the layer. 
 
Fig D.
I now duplicate the original (not cutout) and use this selection to cutout again (don't ask why) but the cutout doesn't match 100%.  It's close, but it simply doesn't match.  I've also tried using this selection to make a mask on the non cutout image and the edge is exactly the same.
 
I thought some auto anti-alias may be turned on but I can't seem to find anything.  I really need a duplicate of this cutout to match precisely.

Photoshop :: Clear Backgrounds Making Selection Black Not White?

Oct 19, 2011

I am having some trouble clearing out the backgrounds of certain images. I'm taking images and want to quickly delete out any pixels not on the product I'm shooting (make all pixels white). Once I have my selection I go to "Edit" and then "Clear". Instead of making the selection white, it makes the entire selection black.
