i have heard that older versions of photoshop had a tool called "selection brush" wich i think would be much easier than the lasso or magic wand. is there any way that i can make a precise selection on an image (not being with the lasso or magic wand tools)?

I am using PS CS6 13.0.1..When I use the selection tool, any selection tool, the image disappear.I tried to disable GPU but that did not work, nor did starting in safe mode without any plug-in.I find myself turning Photoshop On & Off several times until it is resolved. Sometime it may take even 15 times to turn on/off until resolved.

Example, I select part of a photo, say a persons face, with the lasso select tool.
I want to make the boundries of the lasso selected area fade to transparent in a gradient style.
When I have a backgound selected with the Magic Wand Tool or the Quick Selection Tool and I try to delete it, instead of getting the white and gray checkered background, it brings up a "Fill" splash screen, why? I'm just trying to make an image transparent so it can be moved from one image to another.

I just recently found that when I export my clipped views, always as pngs, they have a very small 1 to 2 pixel edge around them. I can keep clipping but it continues to stay there. I exported with alpha and without to see if it made a difference but it doesn't.
I am now having to use my raster program to resize but had liked using Xara for it. The raster program works fine and I suppose every program has its uses so I just won't use Xara for photo clipping and exporting anymore. I just think that there shouldn't be an issue since Xara seems to want to handle photos more.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I am using either the magic wand tool or the polygonal lasso tool in Photoshop CS, the tools cause the program to behave strangely, including:
-crashing (program error, PS shuts down)
-PS completes a lasso by itself without me completing it
-using the lasso tool causes the tools pallete to go blank, and hovering over each tool restores it

Is there a fix for whatever is causing this bug?

I believe it is luminance but after testing I am now not so sure.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently watched a video of an artist working and I swear it looks like he made a lasso selection on a smart object layer, dragged the selection, and instantly created a new layer of the selection alone. He did this successively to sample parts of an image for later usage. I can't figure out for the life of me how he was doing it and I can't find anywhere that PS has this ability.
For one, lassoing an area of a smart object doesn't allow me to duplicate that selection, PS acts like I want to duplicate the entire image, if I hold down the ALT key. Also, if I try to make a duplicate of a selection with a non-smart object layer I can duplicate the selection via dragging by holding ALT, but the duplicate is still on the same layer as the original object, which is NOT what I want. I know how to use copy/paste.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi guys, I have been using CS2 since its release but I didn’t discover this small nuance until yesterday, and needless to say it unnerved me quite a bit. In PS7 I used to use a trick to achieve a certain effect in some of my designs, making a pattern or single-color image on one layer, ctrl-clicking that layer to make it a selection, and then using that selection to delete other parts of my image. I liked this method as it allowed for me to save the particular selection, and always have that layer available to go back to in case of future use. Since I haven’t done graphic work in a while (mostly digital painting at the moment) I didn’t realize this change was made, either that, or I don’t know how to achieve a similar ends using CS2 that I did with PS7. If anyone understands what I’m asking, and can offer a bit of assistance it would be much appreciated, I am doing a menu layout and design for a local day-spa and I was hoping to do something interesting with their preexisting logo.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI cannot stand the CapsLock key. In fact, I modified my registry to remap the caps lock key to ALT-NumLock or something. But every time I use Photoshop, I have to be able to toggle the capslock key to enable disable precise cursors. So, then, I switch back to my primary app (InDesign, Illustrator, Dream weaver, anything ) and I type about 30 words before I realize I still had the CAPS Lock on.

there is a way to remap the precise cursor toggle to another key.
I've seen plenty of tutorials on the use of the Image > Adjustments > Replace Color... tool and in all of these tutorials, they will simply slide the hue slider to a color they wish to change to. I know that in the replacement section, a user can click the color box and choose a color from the swatches, even copy and pasting a specific hex code value.
This is great for web dev work where I need a precise hex color for an image. Problem is, this doesn't work. It seems to blend the new color with the existing one. What I find myself doing is more of an iterative process then: I'll use the eye-dropper tool on this blended color, then repeat the Replace Color steps again and again until I get something close to my intended new color.
I use CS6, and today I followed a tutorial on how to make a robot on a picture and at first everything went ok but when I was almost done and tried to make a selection with the lasso tool I all of a sudden got an error message that says "Warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible." And when I press OK my selection is not there. I had no problem when I started the project but now it won't work.
Â
And now I get this error messages every time I try to make a selection and it doesn't matter if I use the pen, marque or whatever.
For creating masks I'll often select all visible pixels in a layer (cmd+click the layer) but if the layer has any blending effects, e.g. a stroke or drop shadow, then this won't be included in the selection. Is it possible to include these in the selection?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to do a precise crop in any units that avoids interpolation. As far as I know entering a size in the input boxes, does not give a crop box of that size, as it does in the selection tool. The only accurate way that I can think of is to use guides to mark the crop and then use the crop tool. A bit primitive is it not?
Â
Also can the guides be set by an input box? It is very difficult to pull them to the correct position, using the info box. I can only set 1000 and 4000, by zooming to 100% and then scrolling, otherwise the info box is too coarse. I suppose someone will say that CS6 addresses this!
