For some reason, my marching ants are not marching when I made a selection. the selction is good and can be filled, masked or invereted, but the ants aren't marching. Anyone have a clue as to why?
On Photoshop CS4 Windows XP the Marching Ants don't so much as march as they run.
PS I have updated the driver on my Nvidia "approved" card.
I have downloaded a trial version of cs6 and for some reason i can't see the marching ants when i make a selection, i can use the marquee tools and draw the selection, and the marching ants are there,but as soon as i let go of the mouse the ants dissapear, i have tried clicking and unclicking the selection edges in view but that makes no difference.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt seems like all of a sudden my marching ants are dim to nearly invisible as I'm making a selection. I haven't updated my software. They show up in some graphics better than others, and once I've made the selection, they show up white again. Example: I'll be using the rectangular marquee tool.
This happened at the same time that my custom blending options all reverted to the defaults. However, I hadn't made any custom marching ants settings. I don't know why my custon blending options reverted to the defaults, but it's possible that this was triggered by a hard shutdown that I had to do after my trackpad froze.

I'm using PS CS5.1 (extended, Mac), and until this afternoon my crop grid has always displayed as a solid grid. Now it's displaying with marching ants, and it's driving me insane. Did I accidentally do something?! How do I get my crop selection area to display as a solid grid once again?

What happens is that once I have completed my selection, I get strange rectangles of 'marching ants' throughout my selection. These show up as different colours on the layer mask as well. When I first used quick selection it worked properly.
The newest version of Gimp no longer maintains the marching ants for the selection window when you select an image that is on a transparent layer (my observation). It seems to only select the (smaller) image(s) that are contained therein; the selection is restricted to the outline of the image only. I am trying to maintain proper spacing etc. and the marching ants selection window was wonderful for that.

I have created a new file, white background, drawn a rectangle, bucket filled it black but want to move it around.
When I use the move tool it moves the whole frame i.e. white background the black rectangle. Do I just need to add a new layer for the black box?
I used to be able to select a layer (getting the Marching ants of a layer on a image) via the Layers palette (I think I used to press ctrl + mouse-click) but now, in Photoshop CS2, I can't get it to work.

1. All the menu items are grayed out upon launch, this can be corrected by clicking on one of the tool icons.
2. Whenever I use a marching ants based tool (magic wand, marquee etc) The display does not update to reflect the selection. One has to click on another tool icon or move the window and then it shows. Also, the marching ants are no longer "marching" but its kind of a dashed line selection.
3. The thumb in the palette window becomes garbled upon any work done on that layer.
I have an image that has three different subjects on it. (mountain scene) I would like to control levels, contrast, etc. separately on each subject. In channels I have been able to isolate the first subject from the others through levels, erasers, and paint brush. In a trail run I used this channel copy as a selection, switched back to layers, copied the image under that selection, (pasted into) a new layer, went back to channel, copied the channel layer that I just created, inversed the selection, went back to layers and copied image under selection, (pasted into) a new layer. When I turn off all layers except these two, I end up with a white line where the dancing ants inhabited. Therefore I assume the width of the dancing ants is not part of a selection or is centered on the selection.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm working in photoshop CS2 there is allways one big issue bothering me: all the menu's that are in the way (Tools menu, Layers menu, navigator, history). Does anybody know a shortcut to hide those menus all at the same time, and a shortcut to make them reappear?
Another thing that could solve my problem is to be able to zoom in outside of the picture (into the gray area), now I'm restricted to stay zoomed into the picture (so the most left pixel will also be the most left pixel in your photoshop screen, if anybody knows how to change that..
how to hide notes? I use notes a lot when I work with someone else on the same file and I place the little postits near or exactly on top of the area I'm writing about. Is there a way to hide those like you can hide guides? I'm working on a particularly note-rich file and it's starting to look like a porcupine.

I am using Photoshop cs6 windows version. First of all, see this picture.
Right now I am trying to animate layer masks which are attached to individual layer groups, but as you can see, the deeper layer nest goes, the harder it is to animate , because I can't read names of keyable property and I can't extend the property bar ,like After Effects,to read the full name of key able property in Photoshop. Is there any way to avoid this problem? I really need to animate layer masks.
How can I hide the tool data box that reads out the location in Photoshop CS6? It appears when I move a layer or change the size.
It is very distracting and totally useless for me (I'm an artist - not an engineer). I can't find a setting to remove that black box.
I have not been able to find this in the view menu or preferences?Is there anyway to hide the smart cursors that are now featured in PSCS6?

It obscures the desktop and any other application windows that I'm not using, and so I can't use the Finder as I've become accustomed to using it.If there was a way to have the Application Frame hide when not in Photoshop I'd be a happy camper.
Here is what I'm doing...
-Open an image of a blue eyeball
-Duplicate layer
-Change the color of the duplicated layer eye to red
-Create a Hide All layer mask on the top red eye layer then select a brush...
I have tried white and black color, but when I paint on the mask I dont get the blue from the bottom regular layer, nothing happens and I have tried everything I can think of?
Is there any shorcut, command, magic formula, etc, to hide the black line of the artboard?

I have by chance got PS to auto hide & show the toolbars and I have now lost it again.
as the toolbars are out of sight and only visible when I need it.
When using the Hide function on the Crop tool I understand the pixels are hidden and the info retained. My question is does the Histogram palette look at the 'big picture' on the Hide function, and the histograms in either Levels or Curves only look at what is visible?
I'm guessing this is so, but was wondering if someone could verify it. I ask because of the difference in the histograms when using Levels or Curves compared to the Histogram palette.

I also sometimes work with 2-3 programs and/or simultaneously being on the Net.Can all of my photos stay in front of the screen even if I most them around?
If I move my mouse pointer to the top Photoshop Bar, the photos start to hide behind the Photoshop screen. I only use Consolidate all to Tabs,or Float All in Windows
