Photoshop :: Selection / Patch - Select Blue With Quick Selection Tool?
Dec 10, 2012If 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.
Â
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.
Â
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.)

View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: What Brush Preset Should Be Used With Quick Selection Tool
Feb 24, 2013I'm using Photoshop CS5 on a MacBook Air running OS X 10.8.2...I have managed to change the brush in my quick selection tool, or at least the way it looks on the screen, and I can't figure out how to get it back.
Â
It now looks like a paint brush with light rays around it instead of the circle with the plus sign in the middle. It does not change size when the ] key is hit.
Â
The current preset says its Quick Selection Tool Hard Round 250 1...In addition when I use the marquee tool I can not see the crosshairs when I am inside the image.The only thing I have knowingly done is to create a preset for a dashed line and imagine in doing that I have messed up the other. I have also changed the preferences for the cursor back and forth between standard and precise but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Quick Selection Tool Freezes CS6 / Becomes Unresponsive For Minutes
Feb 24, 2013After only two selections the tool becomes unresponsive for minutes.
Â
I'm on a 2.6 Ghz retina MacBook Pro, 16 Gb RAM, and this in connection with an SSD should make this tool very good to use. Operating system: OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", latest update.
Â
Unfortunately, it seems to develop some kind of overload, during which you cannot use Photoshop at all. No commands like "undo selection", "quit", "close file" are accepted.Â
Â
Hint: it seems to happen when you option select (subtract from an existing selection).
Â
Hint: the freeze can be shortened by a tool switch (has to be through clicking on a tool, keyboard commands are frozen as well)
Â
Hint: the "subtract selection" move that caused the freeze appears after Photoshop comes back to life after a couple of minutes. The subtraction to the selection seems to be random, makes no sense, and is not the regular function of the tool.
Â
First step after this freeze would be to undo the last selection, and continue working.If you do several "add to selection" moves, they add up in a kind of waiting line. If you do the subtract from selection move, this doesn't work, and the freeze happens.
Â
So far, I have not noticed the freeze when adding to a selection. Adding to a selection was always quick and instant. The bug must sit in the "subtract from selection" code.On most freezes, the ants continue walking, I just had one (again with subtracting selection) where even the ants stopped walking.
Â
I don't think it has anything to do with Photoshop working. I have used the quick selection tool regularly under CS5 on my old machine (which was a museum piece), and while I had to wait sometimes, it was never ground to a freeze/halt like the quick selection tool under CS6.
Photoshop :: Quick Selection Tool Failing To Select Objects
Jun 26, 2013Every time I use Quick selection tool it selects the area which I don't want to use. I have a website called JoGuru Social Travel Network for which I need to edit it's logo. Now since the logo has many green and blue variation IÂ can't select the area I need.
Â
I thought of changing the color of logo so that it looks refined but green color signifies travel and i can't think of using any other color. It would have been easy to pick other color. For me Green is God. I must use that only. I also need to encorporate small road in it that defines journey to infinity. This tool use to work well before. It's giving me problem for the first time.

Oct 3, 2013I'm trying to compare a selection made with the Auto-Enhance check box on and off with the Quick Selection tool, though I'm not seeing a difference. My understanding is that it gives the selection a smoother, less blocky edge,
Â
1. even though I'm not seeing a difference, is there a reason to just not keep it checked all the time?Â
2. Can you apply this checkbox after making a selection or only prior to doing one?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: OpenGL Seemingly Deactivates After Use Of Quick Selection Tool
Apr 27, 2013Before using the quick selection tool, I am able to smoothly zoom in and out by holding Ctrl+Space and dragging with the mouse.If I use the quick selection tool, however, the marching ants line turns into a strange box. I no longer am able to zoom smoothly but instead with the technique above I draw a rectangle which I zoom into. This indicates to me, that OpenGL has been deactivated. I want my smooth zoom back!
Â
I noticed that the preferences always show OpenGL as active, no matter which of the above "state" I'm in. I tried updating my AMD graphics card's driver without success. I found a post describing similar OpenGL problems on the same graphics card and installed the linked driver; the post was 2 years old, but it worked. Re-installing more recent version (Catalyst-Version 12.6) brought the problem back. Newer versions of the driver seem all to suffer from the same problem.
Â
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit,64-bit Photoshop Extended from CS5 Production Premium,AMD Radeon HD 4600 (currrently Catalyst-Version 13.1).Â
I tried: "Downgrading" the driver (only really old version worked, as mentioned above),reseting Photoshops preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift at start),deactivating OpenGL (reactivating only works after restart and problem reappears) but I miss the smooth zoom.Â
Photoshop :: Quick Selection Tool: Radius Feathers Better Than Feather?
Dec 24, 2007I was using this nice tool for the forth time or so and I accidentally put the radius to 10, and suddenly these horrid jagged edges on model shirts disappeard.
The feather was at 2, and smoothness at 12. (in refine edges)
So should I now think of the radius and the the best method for edges rather than feather.
how the smooth mixes into this.

Illustrator :: Selection Tool Suddenly Acting Like Direct Selection Tool During Click-and-drag
Aug 22, 2012This morning, my Selection Tool (the filled-in arrow) is acting like a Direct Selection Tool (the hollow arrow), but only when I click and drag on a group. It ends up select the anchors within the group rather than the whole group itself.
Â
I've checked my preferences, quit and relaunched Illustrator a few times, and nothing seems to fix it. The problem briefly went away a few minutes ago, but came back when I quit and relaunched for good measure.

It's happening in Illustrator CS 5.1. I have CS6, and that version works fine, but I'm waiting on some plugins to be updated for it, so I'd like to use CS 5.1. I'm also running the latest Suitcase Fusion 4.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Using Refine Edge With Quick Selection
Sep 27, 2011I'm not sure what's going on over at the Adobe Photoshop forum, but I've tried three different browsers and I can't get the Create/reply buttons after I log in. So, since life's too short to put up with whatever they're doing, I'll try here...I do a quick selection, then hit the "Refine Edge" button and make a change to the selection, but my change doesn't "take"...
Take an image, one layer (background), absolutely normal, boring image (for example, a white swan sitting in the blue water). Go in with Quick Select and select PART OF the swan. Leave some areas not selected, and select some water (areas that are selected and shouldn't be). I need to refine my selection. I subtract and add bits of selection with the Quick Select tool, but EVENTUALLY I'm going to have to do a more accurate refinement than the quick selection tool can do.
Hit "Refine Edge" from the tool bar and select "Overlay" for the view mode. I can see what's selected, and know what I'd like to change. I have a red overlay so I have a visual guide to changing things.Go to the "Refine Radius Tool" and paint over an area I want ADDED to my selection (a piece of swan immediately adjacent to my original selection).It runs red, like I'd expect. I release the mouse and a second later, the red goes away, and the selection has NOT been changed. I've tried this several different ways, and I'm unable to refine my selection from the Refine Edge tool...
I looked at Martin Evening's CS5 book, and as near as I can tell, I did exactly what he described..He got a selection, added to the selection, and it worked fine..I figure I've got something configured wrong, or something else goofed up. If I need a complex selection, and do the initial select with the Quick Select tool, HOW do I refine the edges and content of that selection? How SHOULD the "Refine Radius Tool" in "Refine Edge" work?
Photoshop :: Saving Quick Mask Selection...
Jun 16, 2005My question is this (its pretty easy so I hope its just a stupid oversight on my part) but anyway...
I just got into messing around with photoshop lately and in a tutorial in a magazine I read for a certain step I read the following:
1) "We need an accurate selection of the figure, so go to the Channels palette and click on the Red channel. Choose the Brush Tool and select a hard round brush from the Brush Preset Picker . Hit Q to enter Quick Mask Mode and paint over the figure...after completing the Quick Mask, hit Q again to exit Quick Mask and save this selection via Select>Save Selection naming it Outline. Click on the RGB channel, before returning to the Layers palette."
Now that was simple enough to understand and the first time I went about it it worked fine...as soon as I clicked "Q" again to leave quick mask mode the portion i just colored in in quick mask was selected by a dotted line...
My problem is that now it doesn't do that anymore. No matter what .jpg file I use...after i leave quick mask mode there is no selected outline and no option to "save selected"...the only thing that is selected is the entire square outline of the canvas...IT COMPLETELY IGNORES WHAT I COLORED IN QUICK MASK
Photoshop :: Quick Mask Selection Using Gradient
Aug 8, 2008I am using CS3 Mac, 10.0.1
I open a JPG and enter quick mask. I use the gradient tool with a radial gradient and make a small gradiated area. It appears in red fading out to the edges. So far so good.
I USE to be able to exit quick mask, and that gradient would now be a selection. What is happening now though is when I exit quick mask, the area selected is the entire image and not the gradiated area.
