Photoshop :: Equivalent Of MS Paint "select" Tool?
Mar 6, 2006
I'm trying to enlongate one of the legs of a letter in a phrase. I want to seperate a portion of the bottom and move it down, then fill in the empty space.
I could just use something akin to MS Paints "select" tool where I select a portion and drag it down to where I want it.
On a new layer, I used the line and curve tools to draw the outline of a human figure. I want to fill the shape with a color. However, I can't figure out how to select the entire figure so that I can fill it using the Paint Bucket tool. How can I do that?
What is the equivalent of the liquify filter and freeze tool? if we use other software like paint shop pro which has no liquefy filter, so can we download it separately.
1. Is there an equivalent to the Shape Builder tool that Illustrator has in Photoshop CS6? I want to rasterize some text and combine a couple letters into one shape.  2. If you want to embed text into a .PSD or .TIFF, do both Convert to shape and Rasterize text result in the font/text being embeded in the file the same way?
I have two contiguous clips in the timeline. I want to select the tail of the first one and the head of the second one to copy and paste somewhere else. With this tool, I can click and drag to select any segment of any number of clips, regardless of their in/out points.
In my opinion i think the Ellipse Select Tool could be a little more ellipse (even in a 800% zoom). In this image we see that the ellipse tool starts out as a small square; than it will gradually become a circle. i'm not against it but i do think there should be an option for you to pick, in the Ellipse Select Tool options, between a pixelated circle or a perfect circle.
The same can be said about the Rectangle Select Tool when it is rotated.
I have a PSPIMAGE file with a plenty of images as different layers. I am adjusting the images having one image "size" as reference (make same width and height). But I could select the multiple images just through layers pallete
whether is possible to select multiple pictures (each in different layer) by using the "pick tool" direct in the canvas (or other means)?
I know this discussion title is a bit murky, but the problem is a bit odd. I have Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2. In this version, I will activate the Select Tool, check Auto-Select: Layer, check Show Transform Controls, and then while using the Select Tool I will drag to create a rectangle to select multiple layers with content within the specified area.Â
Unfortunately, this action only works when I begin the selection from outside of the canvas area. If started from within the canvas area, no rectangle will appear, it will show me a measurement of my selection size, and then no layers will be selected upon release.  This cannot be working as intended right? I mean multi-select dragging cannot be intended to only work when started outside of the canvas right? Is there some way to fix this issue? Is this a bug? See the images below for more information on this issue.
I remember being able to select anything on the canvas with my Quick Select tool in CS5.5 Photoshop Extended. Recently, making the switch to CC, the Quick Select tool will show my slection as I drag along the canvas, but once I release the mouse, the selection seems to be reduced to the visible pixels. I was intentionally trying to fill the transparent sections with my effects as well. Â Mind you, the magic wand will select transparent pixels just fine, but it also adds unintentional sections which is irritating. I should probably also pint out that I already looked into the "lock transparence" option in the layers, but I did not activate anything of the sort.
When I click the select tool, a brown selection type of rectangle appears in a particular area of the illustration, even though I have not clicked on the illustration yet. I assume it is some type of warning indication, but don't know what. P.S. It is draggable and scaleable - I can move it off the artboard. An example:
So everything is fine until I use the select tool, and then free transform a part of the image. Then my brush and eraser stop working until I save and restart the program.
Is there a way to make the color select tool not only select a specific color but related shades as well. I have a graphic that is mainly shades of gray but with black outlines and divisions as well as other colors mixed in. I want to shift all the shades of gray to shades of dark yellow without have to select each shade individually.
The recolor tool does not recolor shades into shades but only shades into a fixed color. Eg if I have a gradient blue to green and recolor the green into red, then it won't be a gradient anymore. Also, using eg. antialiasing for lines you get lighter shades of the chosen color, again maing it problematic to change the line into another color. What to do?
Does Adobe CS 2 have and equivalent of Corel Painter? If I just want to create a paintbrush stroke that is wide at the beginning but tapers in the end (just like a painter would do with a brush stroke),
I've been using PS 12.0 for a year without incident. Recently I installed Superstition beta and started experiencing crashes both in 13beta and 12. I can consistently reproduce a crash in CS5, Win7 SP1, x64, by opening an existing PSD and then switching to the Type tool. The crash occurs before I even get to see the type tool. I've replaced the prefs a million times using the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT on launch technique. Â I have not change type management (not using any font managers at this time). My nVidia drivers are up-to-date (dual 9800m GTX), my RAM is good.
Magnify tool won't let me drag and select. Minute I try to drag, it goes super huge. Is there a setting to turn it back to normal. Â Mac 10.8.5, CS6, PS 13.0 x 64.
I'm an aspiring YouTuber who uses Photoshop for its ability to make thumbnails for my videos. Recently, I went into Photoshop as always and whenever I select ANY tool, Photoshop crashes altogether.
how to select a portion of a photo with the pen tool, save the selection and use the selections as .jpg to create a montage of pictures for a newsletter.
Whenever I go to grab a set on my actual document with it selected in my layer palette...it drops right down to selecting the background layer or opens up my layer set and selects a layer within my layer set. I guess I'm not clicking the right spot but in my mind, Shouldn't it just move all the layers instead of randomly selecting some other layer that I didn't select?
I'm an illustrator... working in both digital & real artwork.
I work mostly in Photoshop CS, but I have been searching for a solution to a digital problem that I can't quite seem to find using either Photoshop or Illustrator.
What I wish to do is scan a pencil drawing and then create selected shapes in a quick and easy method using a magic wand tool.
But it needs to be a magic wand tool that will select an area drawn from a series of broken lines. Photoshop will only select shapes that are 100% intact, so I wind up having to spend lots of time searching to repair broken lines before Photoshop selects just that one area.
I KNOW that such a program exists... because I recall there used to be such a program.
It was a free dowloaded program that I got once, way back around 1998. I think it came from Australia... and it was a basic digital paint program of some sort. I can't recall the name.
It allowed one to quickly click and select an area from within a shape drawn with broken line segments...
Does anyone know of any program (hopefully for Mac) that allow this sort of selection?
This would save me hours of frustration. I can't believe Adobe hasn't come up with something like this already.
I have found the old legacy plugin Picture Package etc very useful. However It needs CS5 to be run in 32 bit mode. Is there an equivalent in CS5 (and CS6 when it comes) or Bridge or Light room?
I have Illustrator and Photoshop CS. Couldn't find any but still hoping one comes with either. CAPTURE (a screen capture utility).Corel CAPTURE: Enables several methods of image-capture It lets you capture a target area, small or large.
I was trying to make a color range selection to use as an adjustment mask. Each time I make the selection the dialog box freezes, I can not exit the dialog, or cancel the save options are available but even after saving can not exit dialog box. Also the menu "Select" "Save Selection" option does not work.  I end up having to close the program using Windows Task Manager. I am running Windows 7, CS6 13.01 I have tried this in both the 64 and 32 bit versions of CS6. Oddly if while in the Color Range selection Dialog intermittently if you only make one sample with the dropper tool you can exit the dialog with the selection in tact, but not always.
Not sure why this is happening, but every time I go to using the magic wand tool, it isn't allowing me to select everything. A big square is left behind. There's only one layer that I'm trying to work with. I feel like I accidentally pressed something on the keyboard, but not sure what is going on...
