Photoshop Elements :: Where Is The Polygonal Capture Tool On 11
Jun 23, 2013
Where is the polygonal capture tool on PSE 11? It was on PSE 9. If it does no longer exist on PSE 11, how can I get a similar capture as with the polygonal one.
Photoshop 10. How do I adjust my selection after using polygonal lasso tool to refine my lines before I commit? I know I can use delete or backspace but sometimes I get cought up trying to finish my selection and with so many points made, that doesn't seem like a cool things to do. I just want to go to one area of the selection and move it a bit.
I have a brand new intel core2 duo with 4gig of Ram. The pc is fine, because I've had this problem with previous versions of PS as well on other machines. What basically happens, is I've usually got a image, I'll use the poly-selection tool to get a basic outline and 20-30 seconds into tracing around, the photoshop screen will blink and ... refresh?.. but the image I'm working on is all white, but the selection tool is still functional.. but you can't see what you're selecting any longer. The image returns after you get frustrated and click away to "complete" the selection. Then you're left with the wrong parts selected and have to start over. I design logos and graphics for a few companies and record labels,
When I'm using the polygonal lasso tool to cut something out it tends to suddenly hook up back to the beginning point without me telling it to do so and therefore ruining the remainder of the job.
I noticed that it only does this when I'm moving back on myself (for example going round the edge of something curved etc)
This had been bugging me for ages and I can't believe the photoshop people would have let something this annoying slip through the cracks.
Is there a fix for this or something obvious I am missing?
I'm having a bit of trouble with a simple ps command. I'm not sure of the proper term, so I'll try to be as specific as possible. I'm trying to add those "cuts" in my layouts. I know this isn't a very good description, so with permission, here's an example H E R E of what I'm talking about. If you look at the very very top of the layout where it's sort of "cut" or "caved in". I've tried using the selection tool, but it doesn't come out right. I'm also trying to add an outerglow to the layout after I "cut" it...but it's no activated. What am I doing wrong?
let's say you are rendering a huge picture with polygonal tool, but then make a small mistake on accident fromt one point to another. is there anyway to go back to the previos point before clicking.
while I was selecting the area that i want to pick up, selection process ends middle of the selection and ps ties the last point to starting point automatically/out of my control. What is the reason. Also when selection closed and tied to first point, can I back to last point again. ctrl+z does not work after selection path closed?
If I make a box with my polygonal lasso tool, it turns into an egg shape. It was working fine, closed Photoshop (7), and when I opened it again it was doing this..
I've searched everywhere for this, anyone know what's up?
After installing Mavericks I´m having so much trouble with the lasso tool and white menus in photoshop that it is really breaking my production speed and causing a lot of problems for me. Especially the Polygonal Lasso Tool, how its auto completing when painting with a tablet.  I´ve upgraded to Mavericks, and I wish I never did that. Because these problems never occurred in Mountain Lion. I´ve tried going back 3-4 steps on the tablet drivers - but no luck. I tried reinstalling photoshop and I've tried pretty much anything I can think of but nothing works. I desperately need to fix this and I have a long line of architectural illustrations coming up and it takes me a lot more time working with masks if I cant do it with a tablet...
I have Adobe CS4 for macs. Just today, every time I enclose an area with my polygonal lasso tool, it stopped closing the area and instead gives me the message "No pixels are more than 50% selected.
The selected edges will not be visible." I must have accidentally pressed something by mistake that makes the lasso tool not work anymore but I don't know what. Do I need to reset Photoshop? Any ways to reset it? I tried holding option,command shift but it still did not reset my Photoshop to its original settings.I also rebooted my computer several times with no success.
I'm using a new install of Photoshop CS6 (via creative cloud) on a new iMac and getting superb performance aside from constant issues with the polygonal lasso tool.
All the other variants of the tool work fine without fault, but when using the polygonal selection , either the first 'point' won't register or subsequent 2nd or 3rd points won't register, causing photoshop to hang for a second then fill the marquee incorrectly.
I'm using a magic mouse and also tested it with a USB Logitech but still getting the same issue. Â 3.4ghz Intel Core i7 Quad core iMac 16GB Ram OS & Photoshop on a SSD Scratch Disk 1TB internal HD
I'm in the process of selecting the head and shoulders of a person and got about 2/3 rds of the way around which took me a long time when somehow the end of the line I was working shot across and made connection to the beginning point which ended my selection process. Maybe I clicked too fast or something but it happened and now I'm left with part of a head and shoulders selected.
I've tried working with the plus and minus to try eliminate the line that shot across but I'm not having any luck, maybe it can't be done.
When I try to add or subtract it won't let me intersect the original selection line, I mean I can use a place on the line to anchor my starting point butwhen i come back to the original selection line at some other point, it's not showing the the little circle indicator that tells me I've completed the selection.
I have to capture live feed from remote camera that I control, but I don't have a scope to calibrate the camera. Is there a hidden scope with the capture tool cause I can't find it.  I can't stand Final Cut anymore at least it had a scope with the capture tool.
How do I capyure from my VCR and USB digitiser. Nothing seems to allow its recognise it? Competitors programmes allow it. Am I missing something in Premier?
I'm using Photoshop Elements 8. When I try to capture still photos from video clips, the results are not very satisfactory. Usually the stills are very unclear, not sharp like I want them to be. I have to make many attempts to capture a still before I can get one that's halfway clear.  Does it have to be this way?  What can I do to get consistently clear stills from video?Â
I am new to Photoshop Elements (Ver. 12 Mac) and I am still learning how to use it. I would like to select an area within a pic, let's say for argument sake the spots of a leopard, capture the selection as a pattern (not just a straight single colour) and use it to paint that pattern with the paintbrush. Or, in the alternate, is there another way to copy an irregular pattern into another defined area of a pic?
Can I add the time and date to a capture it is on my camera and will only show if I was to print but not when I send by e-mail. I have a FujiS5Pro and use Elements 7 the pictures taken will go to UK Courts and used as evidence in our Legal system.
I wanted to use the capture screen feature but when I go to file-import-screen capture - the setup and capture features are grayed out and I can't get to set up. What can I do.
in my line of work i depend a lot on the polygonal lasso tool for cutting out even the most detailed of photos. but sometimes the polygonal lasso's 'rope' icon gets in the way of my cutting path making the procedure rather difficult at times. i know there is a way of removing that 'rope', but i just don't know how.
I have Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 as well as the trial version of X4 which I have just downloaded. I am having the same problem with both versions. When I go into Capture, there is no image coming through the Capture Window, it is just black. When I hit Capture Video, it does start capturing and it does record video correctly, however when I stop capturing, the preview window turns black again.
How can I get the video to be seen in the Capture preview window?

I've recently been working with a large, simple drawing in which I am trying to separate the different shapes into their own layers. I've been using the polygonal lasso tool, and my plan is to select the desired shapes and "right-click > layer via copy." However, twice already has the lasso selection closed by itself before I could complete the selection.
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a Dell Windows Vista platform.
In ps7 editor I can have 2 pictures cascaded and using the marquee tool and the move tool insert a section of one picture into the other. I cannot do this in ps11, what am I doing wrong?
I only had Adobe Photoshop for about 2 months now. I have been using the Low Key tool in guided alot. Here recently I went to edit a photo and my reduce effect button tool will not work. I tried everything from restarting my computer and the program. I love using this tool but I can not get the reduce effect to work.
