When I use the marquee tool there is a plus sign in the lower right hand corner and it will not do anything, but continue secting. It will not allow me to move the rectangle that I formed. How did this happen and how can I turn this off?

In ps7 editor I can have 2 pictures cascaded and using the marquee tool and the move tool insert a section of one picture into the other. I cannot do this in ps11, what am I doing wrong?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the Marquee tool, or the single row marquee I have perfect borders in my forms, but when instead I use the rectangle tool, the line tool or the elipse tool I have these strange borders that are not well delimited.
I have already deleted the default settings, but still continues the same.
After making a selection with either the retangular or eclipse tool, is there a way to go back and edit that selection?

Is there an easy way to draw, say a 5" x 7" rectangle without having to be so precise with the tool.

Everytime I attempt to use the marquee tool (square) to select a portion of a picture to define a pattern, the ends go round and it feathers it like a vignette....What have I done here? Did I turn something on, and if so, how do you turn it off?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to CS2. I have a 266 p4 and 2 gigs of RAM with XP home and Service Pack 2. CS wouldn't install, kept insisting that I enter the original disk, when I had the CS CD already in my computer, so I entered my serial # into my one-month trial and it seemed to work. Every since things have been a bit strange with lots of little, usually unrepeatable incidents. The retangular marquee tool, has been driving me nuts. Often, when I rotate the image slightly to level the horizon, I use the marquee tool and crop command to trim the edges. When I get the dotted line near the margins of the image, the whole screen often goes blank. I have to click the mouse to get the image back and if the dotted line isn't where I want it, I have to start with the tool all over again. Earlier today, when I tried to use the marquee tool, it froze the computer. Cntrl-alt-delete to end program got no response. I had to reboot to recover. Just now I tried to crop after rotating. I outlined the desired area with marquee tool, pulled down the image menu and clicked crop and nothing happened. Sometimes this happens when I work with layers, but I had none this time. I quit and restarted Photoshop. Same problem. Finally, in desperation, I quit CS2 and opened the image with my old PS 5.0 Limited Edition! The marquee tool and crop worked like a champ. My computer is working fine with all the other software except photoshop. This is the most expensive software that I've ever purchase and I'm having lots of problems.

Using CS6 Extanded on a brand new PC made for doing graphics on..running Windows 7 64 bit.
I'd like to create a PS action that starts out with a rectangular marquee selection. (So the first step in the action would be to switch to the rectangular marquee tool and then allow me to make an arbitrary selection).
Â
When I try recording this as an action the selection (location, size) is hard-coded into the action. For other tasks I'd just check the "Toggle dialog on/off" checkbox to force the action to allow me to make my own choices but that doesn't seem possible for the marquee selection tool.

Am I missing something obvious or is this just how things work?
I've recently upgraded from Photoshop cs3 to cs5.1 and have noticed that the marquee tool's selection is not as accurate as I'd like. For something simple like drawing a selection around a square I could previously do this down to the exact pixel with a single click and drag. My process (while working at 100%) now goes like this:
Â
i) Choose which bit of the cursor I place in the top left of the square to trace (I use the black inner lines)
Â
ii) Click and begin dragging and see that the selection in the top left is now 1 pixel down and 1 pixel to the right of where I clicked.
Â
iii) Drag the selection to the bottom right of the square and align the inner lines of the crosshair
Â
iv) Release the mouse button. The top left corner now springs back into the originally clicked position (good). The bottom right corner now jumps up to 2 pixels up and 2 pixels left of the actual corner.
Â
 I am left trying to approximate how far past my object corner I overshoot in order for it to be correct when it 'jumps' back. It feels as though I'm getting similar selection errors as if I was working at a random image zoom such as 337%
Jumping problem is the same if 'snap' is turned on or off...The problem occurs at 100% and is marginally improved at 200% - although I can't get an accurate selection in 10 attempts.Also in cs3 the Marquee tool's crosshair was 1 pixel thick and now in cs5.1 it is 3 pixels thick due to the white outline around it, I find this harder to use and unable to switch off.Selecting cursors 'precise' in preferences doesn't fix it
First one: When ever I try to make the All Ages font 3D It says 'Could not complete the command Path is too complex' something like that. So How can I fix it.

Second one: Is there a way I can Load selection and use the rectangular marquee tool in photoshop CS6? I tried holding shift then doing it but no luck.
I have CS6 and did the newest update yesterday. I'm working on Mac OS X 10.6.8. The elliptical tool doesn't function anymore correctly. If I want to make an ellipse or circle first it looks normal but if I let go the mouse, it changes the shape in another form like square.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe problem is with the 'rectangular marquee tool' ... after I select a box, the tool defaults to a marquee that eliminates a portion of the first selected box. The curser changes to show the '+' curser with an 'x' in the lower right of the cursor.

When I select an area with the rectangular marquee tool a window with the following text appears:
"Warning. No pixels are more than 50% selected, the selection edges will not be visible"
When I close the warning window the selection is no longer indicated.
when i click on the rectangular marquee tool (or elliptical, doesn't matter that much) my mouse pointer automatically gets the little "+" sign next to it, the same you get when holding shift and selecting an area, except i'm not holding shift it's really irritating because i can't deselect by clicking in an empty area, i have to press ctrl+D everytime now,

I'm trying to use the Elliptical Marquee Tool in Photoshop cs3 extended to draw out a circle, however the circle is not a circle at all? It draws out a plus sign instead. For the life of me I can't figure how to set it to draw out a circle like it should.

Why might the Marquee Tool be stuck on rectangular? I can't access Elliptical or the other types.
Everytime i select with any of the marquee tools in photoshop cc the canvas goes black. If I move the cursor it occasionally flashes on and off but it is impossible to select areas within an image. Deslecting or selecting another tool stops it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat Im looking for is a way to have features of the crop tool--resizable selection and variable outline (shield) opacity--BUT to create a selection out of the area to be retained from the crop without actually cropping.
The Marquee tool gives me the desired resize functions and the ability to make a selection (and thus a mask or channel) but doesnt give me the shield found in the crop tool.
Is there some way to have a Marquee and a Crop shield?
