If I make a box with my polygonal lasso tool, it turns into an egg shape. It was working fine, closed Photoshop (7), and when I opened it again it was doing this..
I've searched everywhere for this, anyone know what's up?
I opened a new layer then used the Polygonal Lasso Tool to cut... then a dialog box told me that nothing was selected. What do I do?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm using the polygonal lasso tool to cut something out it tends to suddenly hook up back to the beginning point without me telling it to do so and therefore ruining the remainder of the job.
I noticed that it only does this when I'm moving back on myself (for example going round the edge of something curved etc)
This had been bugging me for ages and I can't believe the photoshop people would have let something this annoying slip through the cracks.
Is there a fix for this or something obvious I am missing?
Thanks
I'm having a bit of trouble with a simple ps command. I'm not sure of the proper term, so I'll try to be as specific as possible. I'm trying to add those "cuts" in my layouts. I know this isn't a very good description, so with permission, here's an example H E R E of what I'm talking about. If you look at the very very top of the layout where it's sort of "cut" or "caved in". I've tried using the selection tool, but it doesn't come out right. I'm also trying to add an outerglow to the layout after I "cut" it...but it's no activated. What am I doing wrong?
View 4 Replies View Relatedwhile I was selecting the area that i want to pick up, selection process ends middle of the selection and ps ties the last point to starting point automatically/out of my control. What is the reason. Also when selection closed and tied to first point, can I back to last point again. ctrl+z does not work after selection path closed?

Especially the Polygonal Lasso Tool, how its auto completing when painting with a tablet.

I´ve upgraded to Mavericks, and I wish I never did that. Because these problems never occurred in Mountain Lion. I´ve tried going back 3-4 steps on the tablet drivers - but no luck. I tried reinstalling photoshop and I've tried pretty much anything I can think of but nothing works. I desperately need to fix this and I have a long line of architectural illustrations coming up and it takes me a lot more time working with masks if I cant do it with a tablet...
I have Adobe CS4 for macs. Just today, every time I enclose an area with my polygonal lasso tool, it stopped closing the area and instead gives me the message "No pixels are more than 50% selected.
The selected edges will not be visible." I must have accidentally pressed something by mistake that makes the lasso tool not work anymore but I don't know what. Do I need to reset Photoshop? Any ways to reset it? I tried holding option,command shift but it still did not reset my Photoshop to its original settings.I also rebooted my computer several times with no success.
Photoshop 10. How do I adjust my selection after using polygonal lasso tool to refine my lines before I commit? I know I can use delete or backspace but sometimes I get cought up trying to finish my selection and with so many points made, that doesn't seem like a cool things to do. I just want to go to one area of the selection and move it a bit.

All the other variants of the tool work fine without fault, but when using the polygonal selection , either the first 'point' won't register or subsequent 2nd or 3rd points won't register, causing photoshop to hang for a second then fill the marquee incorrectly.
I'm using a magic mouse and also tested it with a USB Logitech but still getting the same issue.

I'm in the process of selecting the head and shoulders of a person and got about 2/3 rds of the way around which took me a long time when somehow the end of the line I was working shot across and made connection to the beginning point which ended my selection process. Maybe I clicked too fast or something but it happened and now I'm left with part of a head and shoulders selected.
I've tried working with the plus and minus to try eliminate the line that shot across but I'm not having any luck, maybe it can't be done.
When I try to add or subtract it won't let me intersect the original selection line, I mean I can use a place on the line to anchor my starting point butwhen i come back to the original selection line at some other point, it's not showing the the little circle indicator that tells me I've completed the selection.

I've recently been working with a large, simple drawing in which I am trying to separate the different shapes into their own layers. I've been using the polygonal lasso tool, and my plan is to select the desired shapes and "right-click > layer via copy." However, twice already has the lasso selection closed by itself before I could complete the selection.

I have a brand new intel core2 duo with 4gig of Ram. The pc is fine, because I've had this problem with previous versions of PS as well on other machines. What basically happens, is I've usually got a image, I'll use the poly-selection tool to get a basic outline and 20-30 seconds into tracing around, the photoshop screen will blink and ... refresh?.. but the image I'm working on is all white, but the selection tool is still functional.. but you can't see what you're selecting any longer. The image returns after you get frustrated and click away to "complete" the selection. Then you're left with the wrong parts selected and have to start over. I design logos and graphics for a few companies and record labels,

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to figure out a way to add to a selection. What I mean is I draw a path with the pen and then save that and turn it into a selection and save that too. The problem is when I want to change the path of the selection using the pen tool it just gives me this funky path after the selection is made. When working on multible layers I need to use the same selection and due to the complexity of the object and impractibility of re-doing the whole selection again with the pen tool without the part of the layer that I don't want.
Would it be better to bring up the saved path, delete or move a few anchor points and resave the path? The problem with this is I believe it will discard the old path that I made first and I can't have that.
I am using PS CS2, what I need to know is this, how do I draw a line with the pen tool and also draw another line with the pen tool but not have them connect?

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.
Â
The larger the doc and the more layers it has the worse it is.
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).
Â
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'm fairly new to Photoshop and I keep getting a warning box after I try to lasso a section of my picture off. The Warning says "No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visable"
What does that mean and how do I fix it?
if I select area with lasso tool with like 10px feather, is there way to lower that feather value after that?
Select -> Feather: that only makes feather value larger.
What's different between these 2 tools(Pen and Laso tool)? I can use laso to cut out the pictures and at the same time, the Pen tools also can do the same.
