Photoshop :: Save Selection Marquee?
Feb 29, 2012
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 use Photoshop to design interfaces and then cut down the graphics, by using the rectangular marquee tool and selecting the area that I want to save, copy-merged and then paste into a new document, of the correct canvas size according to the selection area, and then save for web..I end up with dozens of open windows all "Untitled" something, unsaved.
All I want is being able to select an area in my document using the marquee tool and then select from File a save function like "Save selection for web and devices...".
Perhapse this option could be in the "Save for web and devices.." dialog, where you could select from a dropdown the following:
"Entire document" (default)
"The entire selected area"
"Trimmed down selected area"

When I pasted a selection made with the Marquee tool there is a transform grid around the pasted selection. I use a MAC and Photoshop CS6 and would like to deactive a feature for this automatic grid, if there is one.

When using the marquee tool, clicking and dragging would create and resize the selection marquee. Holding down the space bar, without releasing the mouse button, would then temporarily allow me to reposition the marquee, and releasing the space bar would allow me to go back to resizing the marquee.Well, I just had the opportunity to tutor somebody in Photoshop, and she had the newest version. I went to show her the above trick, and all that happened was the selection got frozen and its x and y values got displayed.

I just downloaded the CC trial for photoshop, then started using the elliptical marquee tool but when I try to use the spacebar to move the selection the selection will only move a few pixels then wont move at all. Also i have the screen flickering problem.

I make a new 400 x 400px document and I want to use the marquee tool to make a selection. How do I make a selection with the marquee tool to go down 14px from top and 14px to the right? I know you can use the move tool and move the selection 1px at a time with the arrow keys on your keyboard,

way in which you can create a selection with the marquee, and then rather than MOVE the contents of that selection, move the SELECTION ITSELF with the MOVE TOOL'S alignment tools (like left, center, right, top, mid, bottom)

It only wants to subract from the selection, even though I have not hit the alt key. I've restarted many times. The oval marquee works just fine; only the rectangular one doesn't. It just started doing this.... so odd. I have CS5.

Is there a way to always add to a selection of objects? If I marquee drag around a group of objects, they are selected. But if I miss a object or two, holding down the Shift key while marquee dragging again, will toggle my selection off and on. I have to go in and shift-click to add specific objects. I find this fiddly and annoying (especially with lots of little objects)
Is there a keyboard shortcut or setting to always do an additive marquee selection so it doesn't toggle off what I've previously selected?

I'm trying to use the rect marquee tool to do a selection and then crop a photo but when I do nothing happens.
A couple of strange things have/are happening:
-At one point, while I was in transform selection I there was added space around the marquee, which became the new edge, as opposed to the marquee itself.
-The marquee is in the shape of a rounded rectangle.

The quick selection tool now doesn't work on the image I'm editing at all. When I try to select only the leaf, the marquee jumps straight to the edge of the photo, effectively selecting the whole of the image and background. Here is a screenshot:
I have tried resetting the tool.

For Max design 2012 x64 (running on Win7 Ultimate with Geforce 9800GT) I get an invisible marquee selection box when trying to select anything in any viewport.
I’ve update Max with Sp2 and Hot fix 2 but they have no effect.
I’ve updated graphics card drivers to the latest available.
I have the View cube switched off.
Is there anything else I can try?

I am trying to find out if there is a way to select only the objects within a selection marquee? In AutoCAD you can make a selection window from left to right and only those objects entirely within the window are selected. If you window from right to left all objects that are "crossed" or touched by the window are selected. Is there a similar technique in Illustrator?
Currently I have to select the objects, then go back and hold the shift key to deselect the object I don't want, or put objects on different layers then lock layers to prevent extra objects getting selected.
In AutoCAD, my primary program, you simply draw a selection window, left or right, depending on what your next step would be. No special tools or toggles or thinking ahead, it's just the primary selection process and very intuitive.

When pressing Enter/Return to commit a marquee selection the Feather box turns white for input (and I'm not trying to change the feather values)!?
Pressing Enter/Return should commit the selection but it doesn't why? I have not changed any short-cut preferences in PS CS6.
When I use the Marquee or Lasso tool and make a selection and I'm happy with the selection, I press the Enter (PC)/Return(Mac) and the the "marching ants" should disappear..this has always worked until today? Now, when I press the Enter key, the Feather box (next to the Anti-alias) on the upper left corner goes from grey to white and wants me to change the value?

When I click and drag with the direct selection tool, I'm getting a drag on the object rather than a marque for selecting points. As soon as I click, the tool switches to the black arrow tool. Did I mess up a setting somewhere? I'm not using any modifier keys.

This has been my one and only problem with PS since I started using it for web work many years ago. Fireworks can do it, if anyone can tell how to do it in PS I'd be wrapped...
I'm using CS3 extended. Say I have a doc 640x480. I select a small section to use on a web page, say... 150x100 with the marque and I want to save only that selection for the web. Code:

I would like to save the colors of all selected pixels, in order to select the pixels of same colors on other picture.
Is it possible to create a *.axt file to load it later from "Color Range"? Or with a script?

I am currently working on a project that requires me to resize and cut out every flag in the world. I have been given an Oval shape that every flag has to be exactly like.
I have used the actions option to automatically resize all the flags, and now I would really like if someone could tell me how to save the selection that I am supposed to use, so I could make an action thing for that as well.
My question is: How do I save a selection from one project, so I can open it in any other project?

When using the magnetic lasso tool a selection may be made and saved. With that selection still active another selection may be added to it and saved. This technique can be used until the entire picture is saved with each selection including all previous selections.
I would like to use the pen tool instead of the lasso tool. Is there any way that I can do what I explained in the 2nd paragraph with the pen tool.
I am using Photoshop 6 and XP.

I am new to Photoshop 7 and would like to take an image from one photo and save that selection with a transparent backround so I can use it later on to create a flyer with the image. How do I save my selections and use them later on?

I'm wanting to know how to fix this issue? Each time I create actions it has the "Save Actions" selection grayed out. So every time photoshop decides to have a fit and kill on itself all my actions are wiped out then I have to recreate them, rinse and repeat.

Since upgrading to Illustrator 17.1 I can no longer select slices in the Save for Web dialog, nor can I select a slice on a different layer than the one it was created on.

I'm using the file dialog snippet as the foundation for a save as dialog box for saving a new copy of my template assembly to a project folder. Is there a way to disable the ability to click on a file in the window which puts that filename in the input box? The assembly file name is standardized and pre-"calculated" by my code and its a decent hassle if you accidentally click another file because the user would either have to rewrite the file name by hand, or cancel out of the dialog box and re-navigate to the project folder.

I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?

If you look closely in the attached picture, there is a spot of light blue on the player's helmet, that looks like a mistake (think it should look like the grass behind it)...though it actually may be part of his helmet.
Regardless, I'd like to take it out. My idea was to select the blue with the quick selection tool, then bring that selection out to the grass, select the grass with that size/shape of selection, copy/paste and then bring the grass selection into the blue part so it looks like grass in what was the blue part.
The problem is I don't seem to be able to move the selection without taking the blue with it (so it's not an empty selection and therefore can't select a piece of the grass.)

I have Photoshop CS5 on a Mac OS 10.7.4 My problem is that when I am using curves or a slider, my selection does not stay in the same place. For example, I chose the number 8 on a slider, after I release my selection it will either go one number after or before my selected number. I have had this problem since I got my computer, December 2011, but it has only recently started to frustrated me because of having to use Photoshop a little more than I usually do.
