Photoshop :: Magnetic Lasso Best Tool?

Aug 16, 2005

I have two layers overlapping, and want to select only the overlapping section. I made both layers less opaque so I could see the exact intersection lines. But when I use the magnetic lasso, it selects along the lines pretty well, but in some places it is warped or a bit crooked. Is there a better way or a better tool?

Photoshop :: Magnetic Lasso Tool

Mar 22, 2013

I've been suing the magnetic lasso tool to make a selection of a group of people; there is a lot of going between legs and over heads, etc.  But invariably when I get about half way through the selection the magnetic lasso tool acts as if I've completed the selection, i.e. I tap the image and the point of the last tap suddenly is connected with my point of origin.  I have done this several times, making sure that I didn't tap too hard or anything like that, but that seems not to be the problem (I'm using CS6/Mac 10.6.8, for what it's worth).
 
So, my question is: is there a way to erase part of the selection?  I know about the add to/subtract from the selection; but that's not getting me back to where I need.  For example, the line that cuts through my group, the line going from my end point to point of origin, well, if I can delete that line and continue on from the end point that might resolve this problem.

Photoshop :: Magnetic Lasso Tool

Jul 27, 2008

I've been playing around with the Magnetic Lasso Tool a bit lately, and it's reminded me just how great it is. I think it's one of those selection tools that's often overlooked. It does an admirable job especially if you follow up with the new refine edge controls.

Anybody else got any views on the tool?

Photoshop :: About Using Magnetic Lasso Tool In...

May 4, 2008

I seem to be having a problem using the Magnetic Lasso Tool In Photoshop CS3 Extended as when I get half way around an egales beak zoomed in at 66.67% and start to single click around the tight corners the photo is covered over with a white background and the palettes to the right of the Photo e.g.

layers, channels, paths becomes white to and all you can see is the paths that the Magnetic Lasso Tool has made around the beak until you click any key on the keyboard but the annoying thing about doing that is that the path automatically becomes selected there for I am unable to draw the paths around the rest of the beak does anyone know of a patch of some kind that will correct this error?

Photoshop :: Magnetic Lasso Tool Action?

Apr 9, 2012

I have around 200 images that need to be treated to make the background look better. Currently I can do this by selecting the item with the magnetic lasso tool. I then inverse the selection and apply a Gausian Blur. However it is very time consuming to do this 200 times. Is there any way that selecting the item of clothing can be put into an action so that it does not need to be carried out 200 times.

Photoshop :: Adjusting Magnetic Lasso Tool Parameters On Fly In CS6

May 21, 2013

I know that it's possible to adjust the width and contrast settings on the magnetic lasso tool, as you go, using bracket hotkeys and period/comma hotkeys, respectively. However, when I try to do this, it doesn't work! The hotkeys work just fine when I am not actually using the magnetic lasso tool, why I can't adjust them while I'm working with the tool?

Photoshop :: Magnetic Lasso

Apr 20, 2009

my magnetic lasso stopped working how it use to.

Adobe Photoshop 7.0

When you click on the magnetic lasso tool it doesnt always let you select what you want to select, sometimes it will say "Warning: no pixels are more than 50% selected. The selected edges will not be visible". Other times instead of actually selecting anything close to the area I selected it just makes a circle looking lasso instead, which typically eliminates the sharp edges I would like to select at times.

I know at some point in time the magnetic lasso allowed me to select every sharp edge and every detailed spot I wanted, so what did I click? I tried reinstalling photoshop and that didnt help.

Photoshop :: Magnetic Lasso Problem

Apr 19, 2008

The first is the original image that I would like to remove the background from. The second picture is my attempt with the magnetic lasso. It left areas that are very rough, particularly near the base of the flower that seem to include portions of the background. My question is how would a pro do this to ensure smooth boundaries all around and if this is the best that the lasso can do, what else do I need to do to fix the areas that are rough?

Photoshop :: Magnetic Lasso Error

Aug 29, 2003

I have been trying to use the magnetic lasso tool in Photoshop 7 to select part of an image. I want to extract as much detail as possible, so I have been zooming in real close and laying down a lot of anchors mapping out the image. When I am nearing completion, I get an error message saying that it is too complex to complete. Is there a way to adjust the magnetic lasso tool, so that it will stop giving me an error, or is there a better why to select a complex image?

Photoshop :: Can't Pan While Using Lasso Tool And Tablet?

Mar 29, 2012

Photoshop CS5
Wacom Intuos 3
 
When working in a layered document (PSD) and making a selection using the Lasso Tool and/or Polygonal Lasso Tool I am unable to pan by holding the SPACE bar. Yet, if using the mouse, panning works great.Sometimes very early on in making the Lasso selection, using my tablet, I can pan if I'm patient - gotta hold SPACE and attempt to pan and if I wait long enough it'll actually do it. But after I've placed a bunch of points, forget it.
 
The larger the doc and the more layers it has the worse it is.

Photoshop :: Lasso Tool Auto Complete

Oct 9, 2013

While using the Lasso tool often (10% of the time) it will complete the selection pre-maturely, with a single left click. Similarly and about the same frequency it wont start a path at all and I will need to click again to begin the selection. This has been happening for 5months since I upgraded to Creative Clous and Photoshop CC. Im running a more than capable machine.
 
Is there any known resolution for this?
