Photoshop :: CS6 Freezes Using (Select) / (Color Range) Tool?
Jul 2, 2013
I was trying to make a color range selection to use as an adjustment mask. Each time I make the selection the dialog box freezes, I can not exit the dialog, or cancel the save options are available but even after saving can not exit dialog box. Also the menu "Select" "Save Selection" option does not work.
I end up having to close the program using Windows Task Manager. I am running Windows 7, CS6 13.01 I have tried this in both the 64 and 32 bit versions of CS6. Oddly if while in the Color Range selection Dialog intermittently if you only make one sample with the dropper tool you can exit the dialog with the selection in tact, but not always.

I have a picture of some speakers with red wire. I'd like to select the red and put the wires on a new layer.
I go to select color range and set it to red and i see in the preview that the wires are selected. But the save option is greyed out in the dialog box.
well thats it I'm stuck. when i hit OK it says less than 50% pixels error??

Using Mac OS 10.6.8 and recently updated Photoshop to version 13.0.4. Select color range is not working properly. Won't select black or white in a black on white logo. Created layer with half green and half red. Select color range will work (in a strange fashion linked to the invert button on the pop up screen) for green half but not red half. Majic wand works fine for either but I must use select color range quite a bit in my work flow.
Is this a compatibility issue or a bug? Have found a couple of recent references to same thing specifically to Photoshop versions 13.0.4 on web but no information on cause or correction. Currently downloading 13.0.4 update again and will reinstall to see if that fixes problem but would like to know if I have to go back to previous version to recapture functionality.

I am trying to select all the objects in a particular color range and then export the color histogram stats of those objects as one object.. In my photo, the object is broken up but I can't seem to figure out how to group the different pieces together.. Currently, when I go to 'export data' after recording it, it gives me a histogram for every single thing selected.

When I long click to select an alternate tool, the flyout freezes for a few seconds before I can select a tool.
How can I fix this? My only work around right now is to know the tool shortcut and then to cycle through it with shift+tool shortcut.

Is there a way to make the color select tool not only select a specific color but related shades as well. I have a graphic that is mainly shades of gray but with black outlines and divisions as well as other colors mixed in. I want to shift all the shades of gray to shades of dark yellow without have to select each shade individually.

Is there any way in Elements 9 to convert a color or color range to "transparent"? I want to change a white background of an imported image (a map) to transparent so only the non-white objects (lines and shapes) are present. The image is way too complex to select each area individually.

Just downloaded/purchased DesignerPro X and do not understand how to use this tool. I followed the instructions in the help file (as well as an old man can!) and cannot get it to work. For instance, I cannot get the color tolerance/fade controls to move off of 20/25% respectively. If you specify which photo you are using in the Design gallery, I will follow along.

I am trying to change the hue of the sky in a photo. Following the instructions in the Help file, I first used the Color Select/Erase Tool to click on the sky in several areas to erase it. The instructions then say "Now select the Make Mask button on the Infobar." My problem is that I don't see a Make Mask button. I see a Make soft mask button and an Edit Input Mask button. Since the instructions go on to talk about these other two buttons, it seems clear that they are not the Make Mask button. So where is that button?
I might add that I am also looking for a way to make just one part of a graphic transparent. Would this Color Select/Erase Tool be appropriate for doing that?

I am working on a scanned black and white image that I image traced in Illustrator. I am now in the process of seperating certain parts of the image from each other for changing colors. I know how to do this, but my way is by using direct select and going in and picking out points and joining them which is going to take ages. Is there any way to say select a range of anchor points on a path (not the whole path, but not individual points either) like shift clicking a range of files in windows explorer? Are there any other ways I can go about this in a more time efficient manner? I am using the Creative Cloud.

I was using Paint.net but I've found it too limited. The GIMP has much more power and I can do a lot more with it, but I've found a few things I can't figure out how to do.
For example, when I use the Eyedropper tool () to choose a color, GIMP doesn't seem to include any transparency in the selection:
The Colorpicker just chooses the color at 100% opacity. Is there any way to change this so that my new foreground color includes the transparency level?

I'm looking at tutorials on how to add strokes to text (I downloaded it today) and they say to use the color select tool. In their demonstration, when they select text, it has the normal dotted lines around it. For me, when I click it just has a thick border around it and it tells me to move my mouse to change the threshold. It won't select the text, just change the threshold when moving my mouse from left to right.

I am trying to learn how to use colour range in PS 5.5.
I select the eyedropper & click on a spot inside the area I want to select.
The fuzziness bar in the dialog box is supposed to have a triangle to slide & a value box. Instead the fuzziness bar and the value box are grayed out. There is no triangle to slide. I am unable to set the fuzziness tolerance.
How do I get the fuzziness function to work?

After invoking the color range command, I movedmy eye dropper over the image, (in this case, the large cloud) and clicked. Nothing is selected...nothing appears in the preview window. Alone, the eyedropper tool works well.
I tried color range with different images with the same result. Using the same images with the exact settings, I then tested them using color range in CS5.2 . It worked properly.
I'm using CS6 13.0.4 x64 on an iMAC OS 10.8.2.

I have Adobe CS6 Design Standard student and teacher edition. The package includes Photoshop CS6, version 13.0.1 x64. In Photoshop CS6, when I bring up the Select Color Range dialog, I see the correct dialog box, but the main image of the photo on my screen changes to a black and white display that looks like the preview of a color range mask in the dialog box, instead of the normal full color image I should see. This occurs whether or not I have yet made a selection. Here is a screen photo of this incorrect display:
This problem does not occur when I use Photoshop CS2 on the same computer. Here is a photo of the correct display in Photoshop CS2:
On November 20, I spoke with an Adobe support person on the telephone. I was unable to describe the problem in a way that the support person could grasp, and the case No. 0184920291 description is now listed as "effect doesn't come with color sliders". It is impossible to use the selection eyedropper to select a color from an image displayed as a monochrome mask.

When I have an color image I sometimes need to select a certain color from all the image. Is there a way with Photoshop CS2 to make this selection so the program figures out which areas have the same color specified and select it also? (did I explained myself?)
In other words if I want to select, say dark red in all the spots with the same color range, can I make the first selection of the color anywhere in the image and then use any selection option so it selects all similar colors?

I want to change hair color on a picture (from black to blonde). Those pictures are textures for a game so it is pretty clean and easy to edit usually
I have another pictures with the blonde hairs tones and colors in it.
So i figured i had to save color range or something on the blonde hair picture to apply it on the black hair picture, right ?

Is there a way to select pixels in Photoshop based on given Lab values? I am using Select --> Color Range with a specified "fuzziness" threshold, but I'd rather make the selection based on specific Lab values instead of random pixels that I choose with my eye dropper. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop, or does anyone know of a plug-in that might do this?

I have a problem with CS3. Since a few weeks I can't use properly "Colour Range" feature.
Especially for bright colour the Colour Range doesn't select what I want to select. For example I want to select a bright cloud and can't select it with Colour Range. Of course I checked if there is any information or I have a burn area. I use several different setting but I still have the problem.
I used 8/16 bit, Adobe RGB/sRGB
At Colour Range I use:
- Sampled colours
- Selection
- Fuzziness: how much I need it
- Selection preview: None

After creating a color range channel, broadly, I used the quick mask tool and was working on tightening up on the details. Reloading the selection showed the marching ants around the updated area, however the red mask still showed the original area, not the newly updated area.
Is it possible to update the masked area w/ the red painted area as well as the marching ants?

I know this discussion title is a bit murky, but the problem is a bit odd. I have Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2. In this version, I will activate the Select Tool, check Auto-Select: Layer, check Show Transform Controls, and then while using the Select Tool I will drag to create a rectangle to select multiple layers with content within the specified area.
Unfortunately, this action only works when I begin the selection from outside of the canvas area. If started from within the canvas area, no rectangle will appear, it will show me a measurement of my selection size, and then no layers will be selected upon release.
This cannot be working as intended right? I mean multi-select dragging cannot be intended to only work when started outside of the canvas right? Is there some way to fix this issue? Is this a bug? See the images below for more information on this issue.
