Photoshop :: Magnetic Lasso Tool Doesn't Work After Installing Adobe Extension Manager Update
Feb 1, 2013
I've just installed Extension Manager Update 6.0.5.9 yesterday and today I've get a wired problem with my bambo tablet.I've used this tablet for 3-4 years without problem. The problem I've now is when I drag lasso tool on an image to make selection it doesn't make a selection even it is showed in the history state that I've used lasso,or magnetic lasso.
My machine is a Mac Pro 2010,Quad-Core Intel Xeon running on Lion 10.7.5 and my bamboo driver is the latest version 5.3.2-2. Even now I've change to use freeform path I've still cannot change form path to selection.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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?
i am trying to make multiple selections using the magnetic lasso and i cant figure out what im doing wrong. first, i have selecte d the outer perimiter of the object. next, i tried to select the holes within the object for a clean cut out by using the shift key but after i finish my selection and release the shift key my selection doesnt turn into marching ants.
This afternoon, from Photoshop CS6, I purchased and extension through Adobe extension drop down menu called EDGE FX. It will not install. As I attempt to do so, it does not list the Photoshop product (only Illustrator, Flash, Premiere, etc).
Here are some screen shots of the dialog boxes I copied. How do I manage to get this downloaded into Photoshop? Note in the last of the three screenshots, Photoshop doesn't appear as an option. I went into manager and a drop down menu doesn't give that option either. However, the description of the extension describes it as a tool to add interesting boarders to photos. Therefore, it must be a Photoshop extension.
I got an update notice from Adobe for Extention Manager 6.05. When I run the update, it downloads okay, but then I get an Installation Failure Error Code U44M1P7. I'm using Photoshop CS 6 standard.
I am trying to install a plug-in from PSKiss to Photoshop CS5 (version 12.0.4). I'm using Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5, and I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop.
Although I'm following up with PSKiss to see if there's a problem at this end, I also see an issue with Adobe Extension Manager. When I open it, the Install button is grayed-out. I can see neither of the plug-ins I've already installed in Photoshop, nor can I install anything new. I am running Adobe Extension Manager as Administrator.
Also, yes, I'm using my laptop with an Administrator account.
How to install the Dr Brown and Watermark installer scripts via Adobe Extension Manager? I am running Win7 and CS 4, and have opened CS 4 as an admin. Still, no luck.
when trying to install the Dr Brown services, I get "You do not have the appropriate permissions required to perform this operation. Contact your system administrator to obtain permission."
For the Watermark script, i get "Can't create folder 'C:Program Files AdobeAdobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)Plug-InsPanelsWatermark'. I created that folder manually via Explorer but that didn't work.
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.
I using the magnetic lasso to select an image...if I mess up. I try to stop the lasso, it just keeps tracking whereever I go and I want to stop it from tracking .... what do I do to end it... I know I can go to where I started ......... but is there a better way?
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?
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?
When I select an area of my image using magnetic lasso tool, instead of selecting the area I've drawn around - the selection shrinks and it'll merely select a small section of image.
I'm using PhotoShop from CS3 and have had a persistent problem with the polygonal lasso tool. Sometimes when I use it, the tool will only give me a few seconds in between mouse clicks to continue selecting. If I don't keep selecting new points (ie, if I leave the cursor hanging on the drawing with the selection still open), the lasso tool will automatically close itself. when I'm trying to do detailed selection work because it doesn't give me time to find the right point to select to before closing the selection over an area that ends up being useless to me.
I'm using the latest Illustrator and I can't seem to select the fill. When I have selected a group of objects and try to paste it, I get the shapes outlines and not the fill. It seems like it is only selecting the stroke but the objects have no strokes.
My problem is that NewBlueTitlerEx stopped to work after graphic driver (catalyst bundle) update to the newest stable certificated version. Before it worked fine now this error appear (not enough GPU power). I work on standard "box" PC, so no power management issue here, I reinstalled the program and checked DX, even got the latest 4.5 Microsoft framework net. I have got other NewBlue Essentials that work fine. Is there a newer version of that Titler (recognizing correctly newer graphic drivers), or maybe some modifications in Windows registry to bypass WRONG GPU recognition?
Even though the strength of the blur tool has been set to 100%, the image mode is set to RGD, and I'm applying the blur tool to the right layer, it has no effect whatsoever.
get my pen (Wacom Intuos 2) to work properly with dodge tool like the mouse?It is the dodge effect was made by mouse..It is by the pen (same brush size)
The brush becomes too small and has a hardness effect, not smooth at all. If I size up the brush real large it's still not right (like in lower corner) and it's hard to control because I hardly see the brush movement. Pressing the pen tip on the tablet pen/mouse mode didn't.
I have PS CS2 & CS3, at first, when I used the pen tool in CS2, it would't do the simulate pressure. When I got CS3, at first I was delighted to see that here the simulate pressure DID work! But after just one use, it my joy collapsed, again the simulate pressure does not work!
