When I use the marquee tool to draw a shape - circle/square etc I sometimes don't get the size exactly to my requirements. is there a way to fine tune the produced size? I'm assuming that there is some combination of keys that will allow me to make fine adjustments up or down to the size of the shape. How to do this without closing down and starting again and again until I get what I require?

The last time I used PS was about two weeks (it's summer) and I had the marquee size set to 2.18x2.18 inches. I just changed it to 2.15x4.35 inches. When I click on the image, which is about 2.25x4.45 inches, it selects an area 2.18x2.18 inches. The dimensions in the boxes are 2.15 and 4.35 inches. Feather is 0 pixels.
I have CS6 on two Mac computers, a desktop and a laptop. On the desktop, everytime I draw a Rectangular Marquee, a very distracting black box with dimensions comes on at the lower right corner of the selection. This does not happen with CS6 on my laptop. I can't find a control to turn this box off. Where is it?

If I have an image that's too big to fit on the printer page, how do I set my printer settings to adjust the image to the right size (i.e. without scaling the image manually)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just started using PS CS2 and i can't figure it how to view the size when using marquee tool. For example when i want to select something i want to see the current size of marquee while i'm moving marquee around. It's really hard to select for example 153×44 with marquee when i have no idea how big current selection is. Hope you understand what i mean.
Also, is there any way to measure for example how many pixels is between two let's say bots. I know that you have ruler but that doesn't really. Basically similar to above with marquee size. When you draw a line, it shows how long this line is.
I am having diffuculties with my "Filters Gallery" window. Whenever it comes up, it cuts off some parts of the tools in the Filters Gallery. For example, if I wanted to give my image the "Plastic Wrap" filter, on the right side I only see half of the Highlight Strength, Detail and Smoothness adjustment bars, I can't see the little boxes where you enter numbers for the adjustment bars and only half of the Ok and Cancel buttons on the top of the window. When I try to adjust the window size by using the little black arrows that come up when you put your cursor on the edges of the window, it will only let me make the window longer, not wider. How can I make everything visible in my Filters Gallery window?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to CS2. I have a 266 p4 and 2 gigs of RAM with XP home and Service Pack 2. CS wouldn't install, kept insisting that I enter the original disk, when I had the CS CD already in my computer, so I entered my serial # into my one-month trial and it seemed to work. Every since things have been a bit strange with lots of little, usually unrepeatable incidents. The retangular marquee tool, has been driving me nuts. Often, when I rotate the image slightly to level the horizon, I use the marquee tool and crop command to trim the edges. When I get the dotted line near the margins of the image, the whole screen often goes blank. I have to click the mouse to get the image back and if the dotted line isn't where I want it, I have to start with the tool all over again. Earlier today, when I tried to use the marquee tool, it froze the computer. Cntrl-alt-delete to end program got no response. I had to reboot to recover. Just now I tried to crop after rotating. I outlined the desired area with marquee tool, pulled down the image menu and clicked crop and nothing happened. Sometimes this happens when I work with layers, but I had none this time. I quit and restarted Photoshop. Same problem. Finally, in desperation, I quit CS2 and opened the image with my old PS 5.0 Limited Edition! The marquee tool and crop worked like a champ. My computer is working fine with all the other software except photoshop. This is the most expensive software that I've ever purchase and I'm having lots of problems.

how I could keep the same radius of a rounded rectangle, when I'm adjusting the size of the rectangle. if you treat it like any other object, your radius will grow/decrease along with your rectangle.

Using CS6 Extanded on a brand new PC made for doing graphics on..running Windows 7 64 bit.
I'd like to create a PS action that starts out with a rectangular marquee selection. (So the first step in the action would be to switch to the rectangular marquee tool and then allow me to make an arbitrary selection).
Â
When I try recording this as an action the selection (location, size) is hard-coded into the action. For other tasks I'd just check the "Toggle dialog on/off" checkbox to force the action to allow me to make my own choices but that doesn't seem possible for the marquee selection tool.
Â
Am I missing something obvious or is this just how things work?
I've recently upgraded from Photoshop cs3 to cs5.1 and have noticed that the marquee tool's selection is not as accurate as I'd like. For something simple like drawing a selection around a square I could previously do this down to the exact pixel with a single click and drag. My process (while working at 100%) now goes like this:
Â
i) Choose which bit of the cursor I place in the top left of the square to trace (I use the black inner lines)
Â
ii) Click and begin dragging and see that the selection in the top left is now 1 pixel down and 1 pixel to the right of where I clicked.
Â
iii) Drag the selection to the bottom right of the square and align the inner lines of the crosshair
Â
iv) Release the mouse button. The top left corner now springs back into the originally clicked position (good). The bottom right corner now jumps up to 2 pixels up and 2 pixels left of the actual corner.
Â
 I am left trying to approximate how far past my object corner I overshoot in order for it to be correct when it 'jumps' back. It feels as though I'm getting similar selection errors as if I was working at a random image zoom such as 337%
Jumping problem is the same if 'snap' is turned on or off...The problem occurs at 100% and is marginally improved at 200% - although I can't get an accurate selection in 10 attempts.Also in cs3 the Marquee tool's crosshair was 1 pixel thick and now in cs5.1 it is 3 pixels thick due to the white outline around it, I find this harder to use and unable to switch off.Selecting cursors 'precise' in preferences doesn't fix it
First one: When ever I try to make the All Ages font 3D It says 'Could not complete the command Path is too complex' something like that. So How can I fix it.

Second one: Is there a way I can Load selection and use the rectangular marquee tool in photoshop CS6? I tried holding shift then doing it but no luck.
I have CS6 and did the newest update yesterday. I'm working on Mac OS X 10.6.8. The elliptical tool doesn't function anymore correctly. If I want to make an ellipse or circle first it looks normal but if I let go the mouse, it changes the shape in another form like square.
