Photoshop :: Marquee Selected Size
Dec 18, 2007
I've just started using PS CS2 and i can't figure it how to view the size when using marquee tool. For example when i want to select something i want to see the current size of marquee while i'm moving marquee around. It's really hard to select for example 153×44 with marquee when i have no idea how big current selection is. Hope you understand what i mean.
Also, is there any way to measure for example how many pixels is between two let's say bots. I know that you have ruler but that doesn't really. Basically similar to above with marquee size. When you draw a line, it shows how long this line is.

I was working on some web design stuff, and I was using the rectangular marquee heavily. Accidentally I hit some keys, and then the marquee didn't mark a rectangular area anymore, but an odd rectangular-elliptical shape. I didn't change the tools or anything, the rectangular marquee was still selected.

What action should I take when using elliptical or any other marque tool to the message ''no pixels selected"?

I've encountered a strange issue in PSDs I've inherited from another designer.
Â
When I have a text layer selected with the type tool active, the font size reads correctly (say, 40px). When I actually select the text with the type tool, the font size gives a strange number (say, 38.74px).
Â
See the screenshots below:

This is on OSX 10.8.3, Photoshop CS6.

I like in CS6 when I use the marquee to select, as I am dragging it is actively showing me the size I am selecting in pixels (what you can find in the info panel).Is there a way to have this in CS5.5? It is a lot easier than always opening the info panel.

The last time I used PS was about two weeks (it's summer) and I had the marquee size set to 2.18x2.18 inches. I just changed it to 2.15x4.35 inches. When I click on the image, which is about 2.25x4.45 inches, it selects an area 2.18x2.18 inches. The dimensions in the boxes are 2.15 and 4.35 inches. Feather is 0 pixels.

When I use the marquee tool to draw a shape - circle/square etc I sometimes don't get the size exactly to my requirements. is there a way to fine tune the produced size? I'm assuming that there is some combination of keys that will allow me to make fine adjustments up or down to the size of the shape. How to do this without closing down and starting again and again until I get what I require?

I have CS6 on two Mac computers, a desktop and a laptop. On the desktop, everytime I draw a Rectangular Marquee, a very distracting black box with dimensions comes on at the lower right corner of the selection. This does not happen with CS6 on my laptop. I can't find a control to turn this box off. Where is it?

When a draw a marquee, the tooltip says 100x100. When I let go, it changes to 104x104, or 102x102. It varies. But it never stays at what I let go at.I have the latest updates (Photoshop CS6 13.0.1). Yes, I've tried both a mouse and my Magic Trackpad. Yes, I've tried both GPU on and off.

I have a dynamic steel section block with a btable to choose which size member you want. What I want to know is there any way I can add a field to the block that shows the selected size so that I don't need to add a separate call up. The field would be linked to the block so if I was to change the size of the member, the field would update and no risk of someone not updating the call up by mistake.

I work at a university and have logos shared with me from other designers, most of which are working on Macs and I'm working on a PC. When I open the logo and select all, the size displayed is 227.5417 inches x 227.5417 inches. The last one I received, the actual size of the logo was 2 inches x 1.75 inches. How do I get Illustrator to display the actual size of the logo?

I'd like to draw a box around some selected text (a textRange), however I can't figure out how to detemine the size or position of the text. The overall size of a textFrame is possible to find (not sure about position), but when you've got just a few characters selected I don't see any way to get the size or position.Â

Is there a simple way to limit the file size of the photos selected in LR3 for a photomerge in PS5?
Â
I have found that without limiting the size, the panoramas generated are very large - 1GB or greater.
Â
I've found an work around by opening the photos in Bridge and then in Camera Raw where I can reduce the file size before using PS5 for photomerge. After I've done this, it's a bit of a hassle to get the panorama back into LR3. The benefit of this approach is that it speeds up the processing significantly and downstream with any subsequent processing since the files are just large and not ginormus.Â
Â
If this isn't possible, this seems like a good idea for LR4.

Once a selection is made with the selection tool using a fixed ratio, how can I move it or make fine adjustments to the size of the selected area that maintain that ratio?

On LR 4 and now 5, the shades of grey used to distinguish the selected vs, not selected images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the workspace are too close together making it difficult to see what has been selected. Is there someway to control the color and/or the shade of grey used for each to make it easier to tell at a glance which image(s) is currently selected?

I need a square around a certain part of my whole image the size of 177px by 25px. I tried using the Fixed Size property but it's not working the way I need it to. How do I make a square marquee section on my image and inlarge the width without moving the whole marquee while using the arrow keys?

I am trying to do is figure out how to use the marquee tool to delete the bottom 2/3rds of a rounded rectangle. Here's what I am doing: Clicking on the rounded rectangle and drawing it to the size I want selecting the marquee tool and selecting the area of the rounded rectangle I want to delete. After I selected the area with the marquee tool, I press delete and instead of the area I selected being deleted, the whole layer is deleted instead.

I'm trying to rotate the rectangle marquee on an image in a layer. Everytime I rotate it rotates the selection being made. How would I rotate the rectangle marquee without rotating the selection then I will be able to delete the selection after rotation.

I would like to use the Ellipitical tool for selecting a portion of the circle.
If you can imagine drawing 2 circles with the Ellipitical tool so that they overlap each other until there is just a sliver between the two circles. It's that sliver that I would like to select so that I can fill it in with a colour or touch up tool.

I would like to know how to draw a specific size marquee. I usually click the marquee tool and simply drag vertically and horizontally while watching the "sizing" measures. Is there an easy way to draw, say a 5" x 7" rectangle without having to be so precise with the tool.

Is there any particular reason to use a shape over a marquee if the marquee gives me the results I need? Example, creating simple gradient background images for a web site.

I'm having a problem in Photoshop 7.0 where I can't see the borders of the selected area while dragging the cursor. Once I release the mouse button I can see the borders OK, but not while dragging. This makes precision selections difficult. It seem to happenÂwith any tool used to select an area i.e. marquee, lasso, pen, etc.Â

I seem to have turned something on, Photoshop 6.0. Everytime I attempt to use the marquee tool (square) to select a portion of a picture to define a pattern, the ends go round and it feathers it like a vignette....What have I done here? Did I turn something on, and if so, how do you turn it off?

I upgraded to CS2. I have a 266 p4 and 2 gigs of RAM with XP home and Service Pack 2. CS wouldn't install, kept insisting that I enter the original disk, when I had the CS CD already in my computer, so I entered my serial # into my one-month trial and it seemed to work. Every since things have been a bit strange with lots of little, usually unrepeatable incidents. The retangular marquee tool, has been driving me nuts. Often, when I rotate the image slightly to level the horizon, I use the marquee tool and crop command to trim the edges. When I get the dotted line near the margins of the image, the whole screen often goes blank. I have to click the mouse to get the image back and if the dotted line isn't where I want it, I have to start with the tool all over again. Earlier today, when I tried to use the marquee tool, it froze the computer. Cntrl-alt-delete to end program got no response. I had to reboot to recover. Just now I tried to crop after rotating. I outlined the desired area with marquee tool, pulled down the image menu and clicked crop and nothing happened. Sometimes this happens when I work with layers, but I had none this time. I quit and restarted Photoshop. Same problem. Finally, in desperation, I quit CS2 and opened the image with my old PS 5.0 Limited Edition! The marquee tool and crop worked like a champ. My computer is working fine with all the other software except photoshop. This is the most expensive software that I've ever purchase and I'm having lots of problems.

When I use the marquee tool there is a plus sign in the lower right hand corner and it will not do anything, but continue secting. It will not allow me to move the rectangle that I formed. How did this happen and how can I turn this off?

I have Mac OS X with PS CS5. Is there a way to save an image in which I have selected a portion of an image, and have the selection marquee (marching ants) be part of the saved file so that when I reopen the file, the selection marquee is still visible?

I'd like to create a PS action that starts out with a rectangular marquee selection. (So the first step in the action would be to switch to the rectangular marquee tool and then allow me to make an arbitrary selection).
Â
When I try recording this as an action the selection (location, size) is hard-coded into the action. For other tasks I'd just check the "Toggle dialog on/off" checkbox to force the action to allow me to make my own choices but that doesn't seem possible for the marquee selection tool.
Â
Am I missing something obvious or is this just how things work?
