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?
Everytime I try to cut something it says
"Warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible."

I know i can make a selection and then go to select>modify>smooth and it rounds off the selection, but i want to be able to do this on the fly as i make a lot of selection in my artwork.

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.
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).
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.
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.

I have selected a section in my photo that i would like to adjust the color of, But I want to be able to adjust the Hue Saturation without the lasso in the picture. Is their an option to mak it not visable while I am adjusting.
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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Anybody else got any views on the tool?
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?
way to use the magnectic lasso tool? I can't seem to work it just right.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to fine adjust the selections done with the Lasso Tools but can not find out how to do it.
I imagine that I can select the create points and manipulate them. Am I dreaming?
While using the Lasso tool often (10% of the time) it will complete the selection pre-maturely, with a single left click. Similarly and about the same frequency it wont start a path at all and I will need to click again to begin the selection. This has been happening for 5months since I upgraded to Creative Clous and Photoshop CC. Im running a more than capable machine.
Is there any known resolution for this?
I used the Magic Wand to select the white area then inverted the selection to select the bodies.The result is in the attachment. BUT parts of the shirt and the paper are not selected. How do I select them? Do I need to use the Lasso Tool after the Magic Wand?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 2 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
Recently, my freehand lasso tool in CS2 has been, by default, adding to the first selection I make without me asking it to. Usually you would have to hold shift down to do this, but it is doing it automatically. How do I stop this?
Caps lock is not on.
I would prefer it to be back to normal because I often deselect using the lasso tool by clicking out of a faulty selection I have made.
I hope that this makes some sense.
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 RelatedLast autumn I took a photo of a rotten apple on some grass, with a tiny flower beside it. I used the regular lasso tool to cut and layer the apple, and then the flower (giving 3 layers). Upon closer reinspection, though, my lasso cut is a little jagged. So, I'm here asking what you guys do to cut out objects!
I am a fan of the magnetic lasso tool, but find that it can often leave very jagged edges when the object isn't clear cut. So, I thought I would be best to resort to the regular lasso tool, just with the photo zoomed in a lot and going little by little. That would be fine, except that I often click too fast from one point to the next, and Photoshop thinks I'm finished and stops the lasso there. That is soo frustrating! Is there any way to go back and edit after Photoshop has 'closed' the lasso selection?
Another thing I sometimes use is the magic wand tool, but as my background is grass, there's no way that I can get it to do what I want. Any suggestions?
I have a problem when using the lasso tool, in the beginning I am able to use SHIFT key to add to selection and ALT key to subtract from it. However, at some point, presumably because I unknowingly press a combination of these two keys with another key, the ALT key changes behavior - the cursor changes from the "lasso minus" to "duplicate selection - two small arrows" when ALT is held.
