Photoshop :: Unclosing A Closed Selection
Apr 21, 2009
I mainly use the pen tool for making selections, but sometimes the quick and handy poly lasso tool is the best option for the job. When getting a little too quick with it, you are likely to double click when what you really want is to just make another anchor for the the lasso. This closes the selection, and usually you have to start all over again to get it right! Is there any way to undo the last step (just the close selection part)? B

I'm just wondering is there a possibility to select all closed profiles from a sketch to make an extrusion or revolve with a shortkey instead doing that manually with the mouse for each profile? Something like CTRL+A

I have used PEDIT to join multiple polylines, which now appear as polylines. But when I use QSELECT to show all open (non-closed) section, one polyline still shows up as open.
I've attached the file I'm working on. The polyline in question is the green outline on the object on the right.

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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.

how to "drop out" the background from this photo (I have loads to do which are very similar). Thus far I have tried channel selections and the calculations tool + all the normal quick selection tools and I just cant get it to work without spending hours adjusting things. The end effect I need to achieve is a perfect white background without loosing any of the detail if possible. On a side note I have also tried taking the photo on blue, green, black and white backgrounds but due to the number of colours present in the products its just not working for me.

I am trying to cut a person out of a picture with a deatiled background so I am using the quickmask selection and paint brush. I'm done selecting the person and have gone back into normal editing mode. I then inversed the selection created within quickmask to select everything but the person in the background. When I click delete, the background vanishes and the person become opaque.

If I have mad a selection with say an ellipse marque, of say 100px and now I want to fether that same selection outwards, ie to start the feather 10 px outward of the 100px selection so that the 100th px has a 100% transparency and the 110th px has a transparency of zero,thus making the new selection 110px, how could I go about doing it. With the current feathering of the selection, it feathers only in the marquee already selected, not outward, and you cannot place negative feathering px. I know that there is most likely some sort of a ration where you would expand the selection by a certain amount of px, and then apply a ratio of feathering to it to enalble it to feather outside of the 100px marquee.

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.Â

Once a path is closed, how do you break it open? And while I'm at it: I have a vector mask. I want to draw another vector shape and subtract it from this vector mask. How would I do this?

Do Photoshop CC Video tutorials have Closed captioning features to turn on and watch during viewing Tutorials ?
If so where can this feature be turned on ? This question also would apply to any other Video Tutorials On Adobe TV.

I have two portraits the better one has one person with closed eyes. Is there a way to use healing brush ( or something else I haven't thought of ) to copy the eyes from the second portrait but enlarge them some before placing them in the first.
Getting just the eyes isn't a problem because he wears round glasses but they are too small. I tried changing the brush size before putting them into the first but it didn't change the size of the eyes, it just gave more area around them.

I'm on Win7x64 with 8GB of RAM and all PsCS6 updates. Have Bridge and Ps open. Open image (jpg or psd or .CR2 with shift double-click) from Bridge into Ps then close image in Ps (with or without making any edits). Try to rename the Bridge folder in which the closed image resides. Bridge wont let me, says image is being used by another application. Have to close Ps before Bridge will allow me to rename the folder.

When Photoshop opens, the layer panel starts closed so no layers can be seen, like this.
 Â
It should start opened, like this.
 Â
Even if the workspace is reset (e.g. 'Essentials (Default)'), it still happens after Photoshop is re-opened.
Â
This issue only started occurring recently. MC CS6 PS, Windows 7 64-bit.

Since there was a leaking condenstor at my motherboard, I had to buy a new PC. I bought a dual core machine, 4 Gb RAM, running under XP.I re-installed CS2. Problem is that CS2 is slowing down now when I am retouching a whole map of pictures.
As far as I can analyse (Windows Task Manager), I conclude dat while retouching dozens of RAW-images of a map one after the other, I see in Windows Task Manager that CS2 uses more than 500.000 Kb, meaning that CS2 keeps my images stacked in memory, even after being closed in CS2 ! Only when quit (and restart) CS2, the memory is cleared.
Although this is only 1/8 of my total RAM, it causes an annoying lag while handling new files in Windows. It can't be meant that I have to close CS2 periodically, besides, I didn't have the problem on my old PC.
My PC-supplier concluded that the problem would be caused by Photoshop settings after re-installing, because other programs worked fast engough.This would point at Preference settings in CS2. However I can't find which and how. Does anyone of you know how to solve my problem?

Is it possible to swap which side of a closed path - inside or
outside - masks a fill layer?
Let's say you draw a closed path with pen tool and then add a solid color fill layer which will be masked by the path so that the inside of the
path gets the color - what if you want the color on the outside instead,
how do you do it?

I've question. On my CS4 the layer palette is always closed when I open CS4. Is there some way to set it to stay open? I tried to save a personalised workspace but it does not help.
I hope you know what I mean. It's a real pain since I work with layers a lot and I'm used to having the layer palette open right away. It's useless to have it closed anyway since there is not space to be gained down right where it usually sits.

When I select a hatch or polyline or any object with grips for that matter, and hold down shift to select multiple grips on the object or objects and then press my middle mouse button to pan or scroll it to zoom, the grips that I have selected de-select, meaning I have to set up the view so that all the grips I want to move are visible before selecting them.
This is only happening on some drawings (although it is most of them) and only when I use 2012 not 2011. Which system variable it is that has gone screwy that I need to reset? or is it something else?

I have a flexible sub-assembly in my top assembly. Sometiems I'm trying to demonstrate to others how a mechanism in the sub-assembly works using this flexibility feature. It works great, but when I move just one little part of a flexible assembly, Inventor displays the wire-mesh of the entire flexible assembly, because technically the entire assembly is selected, even though I'm only moving one part. It clutters up the screen very badly, detracting from what I'm trying to show.
Is there a way to prevent Inventor from displaying the selection lines? Either only when I'm moving a part in a flexible assembly (which would be great), or to just turn them off completely when I'm presenting like this? I know I can turn off pre-select, but that doesn't work, because once I start moving a part in the flexible assembly, the assembly is "selected" and the wire-mesh displays.

When creating a selection Command using the PromptXXXOptions and PromptXXXResult. The entities are selected on the current view, but once the selection ends the entities return to an unselected state.
Is it possible to leave them in selection mode.
I want to this, because it will be better to use Editor.SelectImplied() instead of saving the last selection object Ids.

I've created a lisp that draws the boltholes of a pipe flanges, using the correct number of holes, at the correct diameter at the correct bolt-hole diameter and then rotates. Everything works seamlessly, when i do just one flange. But I've discovered that fewuently there will be mulitple times when a user will have to perform the command.
So the idea I had was to do the following:
Select all circles with    (setq CirclesFirst (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "CIRCLE"))))
Go through the code to create the new circles.
Select all circles with    (setq Circles (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "CIRCLE"))))
Remove selection set "CirclesFirst" from "Circles".
But what for some reason (command "_.select" Circles "R" CirclesFirst "") does not work.

Is there any way to make Photoshop delete (or move to Recycle Bin, doesn't matter) a file in an Action?
Â
Basically at the moment I manually open a picture, then I activate my Action which does a bunch of automated things, saves a .png copy, closes the file. I would like my Action to also remove the original file.
(I cannot use batch processing because the picture names do not follow a logical pattern, therefore I still wish to open the files myself.)

I got a .psb-document with a adjustmentlayer>solid color as a background. The color is a Pantone 354-C. When I save my document (CMYK), and then reopen it, I no longer get the Pantone color library but the default color picker box. I see no visible change in color though so I'm not sure if the color changes. If I click the color library button in my adjustment layer, it automatically pics the PMS color beneth the 354-C (that is 355 C) and I see a change in color. So I have to repick 354-C again.
