Photoshop :: How To Make Marching Ants Brighter
May 16, 2013
It 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.
Computer: Mac OSX 10.6.8
Software: CS5 extended 12.0.1

Photoshop CS4 Extended, Win XP SP3 - all updates / 4 gig ram / Core2 duo quad 2.4 / Invidia 8800 GTS with latest driver and no brush problems / GL drawing enabled.
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.

The marching ants interfere with my selection work consequently I always hide them with command H but this option does not appear available in CS6.

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.

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?

I just came from a friends house I we were look at his cs5 and I noticed that his marching ants on selection tools were much lighter than mine. to the point of being hard to see were the anchor points...which brought me here with this question, "can marching ants be made lighter or darker" and if so where is the control for that

I am having trouble in CS6 with selecting a portion of my photo, with any of the tools- quick-selection, lasso or magnetic lasso.
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 seem to be unable to get rid of yellow marching ants and yellow dashed border around the entire frame.
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.

I just upgraded to CS from 7.0 and in CS whenever I am editing an image the image appears sigificantly brighter than in any other program or when viewed on the net. ImageReady shows the images properly but CS has every image brightened while I am working with it.

I just installed a trial version of PSCS4-Extended, I donot have a GPU instead depend on the inbuilt Intel solution for display (onboard). I have plenty of RAM (2GB) running Vista Ultimate.
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.

I'm cloning some stray hairs out on model shot on grey background. Only problem is things are looking lighter where I clone. Even I just test the background sampling other background right nearby, the new background is lighter.

When walking through my model a brick wall looks like the left image below. When I produce a rendered image the wall appears much brighter as you can see. Cause I've never fumbled around with lighting settings. The darker version is pretty much the one I'm after.

When i import them back into Lightroom 4 they look darker (as they originally were in LR before export). I calibrate my monitor with Spyder 4 pro each month and i have had no problems printing on my Epson r2000 either and have always had accurate prints.
I maybe imaginging things, but it only seems to be with certain photos (most noticably high ISO astrophotography images). I went through old astro shots this week from over a year ago and thats when i noticed the problem. The expoted files are massively brighter than in Lightroom I am at a loss as to what to do. The display profile on my mac is set to the latest monitor calibration. I havent changed anything in LR but i did get rif of a load of crap on my computer this week as it was becoming slow after updating to OS 9 (mackeeper, dropboxes but nothing i could imagine would relate to LR).

when I make an image transparent the brighter parts of the image are also made transparent which I obviously don't want.
I'm sure this probably involves fuzzy select maybe but I've spent ages trying to sort this out but can't make any sense at all of the tutorials.

Im having trouble exporting images with High ISO (3200+). Colors aren't coming out the same as the edit version in Lightroom.
Images are coming out brighter after export. Here's an example.
Image was shot in ISO 6400. Other images shot at higher ISO are also coming out brighter.Clearly a huge difference. Its quite disturbing.

I'm using a Mac. My windows friend sent me a jpeg of a piece of art we're working on. It looked fine in the web browser. It looked fine in Preview when I opened it, and it looked fine in Photoshop. But when I save it from photoshop after adding just a small thing to the image, the whole thing comes out a bit brighter. I have no idea what's doing it. I've tried Save For Web and Save As and it comes out the same each time. I have played with color settings in the past slightly, but it was my understanding that only affected how photoshop displays the image and I wouldn't expect it to change an image I imported then exported again.

I am pretty new to Photoshop and I have come across a few things that I would love to do but I cant figure out how to do them. Also, I have elements so I'm not even sure if I can do them.

My next question is how do I make my own custom bevel and emboss layer style textures?

How to make GIF Using this image. [URL].........
Remove the screens on the i Phones and then replace them with a custom message using this font (Budmo Jiggler + Jigglish Font | dafont.com) or any cool font. Could you first have "Sign Up" on the first iPhone. Then on the second iPhone a green tick .
After this could you have lower down underneath "Complete Offer" appear. Then again a green tick on the second iPhone. Then lastly "Refer friends" on the first iPhone underneath complete offer. With again a green tick on the second iPhone. Would it also be possible for the outside edges to be glowing or sparkling to attract attention.
