I'm trying to use the rect marquee tool to do a selection and then crop a photo but when I do nothing happens.
A couple of strange things have/are happening:
-At one point, while I was in transform selection I there was added space around the marquee, which became the new edge, as opposed to the marquee itself.
-The marquee is in the shape of a rounded rectangle.
and probably more, but when you consider how little functionality the loss of those three buttons give me, you can understand how little use I am getting out of CS6 so far.It makes no difference whether I use 32-bit or 64-bit.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium on a relatively new Toshiba Satellite C660-1LD with 2.53 gigahertz Intel Core i3 M 380 with 3892 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory* with onboard Intel(R) HD Graphics.(Processor & Memory details from Belarc Advisor)
I sometimes get a message on load saying that Photoshop cannot find my 3D settings (although my Graphics card has 3D capability), but as I'm not using Photoshop's 3D editing tools, this is no issue to me at present.
Every time I try to move a section of a photo with the Rectangular Marquee Tool, I get an error message saying "Less than 50% of the pixels have been selected and they edges of the sections cannot be seen. What am I doing wrong?

Whenever I try to use the Rectangular Marquee or Crop tools, they're stuck in a portrait style (looks like the aspect ratio of a regular sheet of paper). I can't make a square or a landscape-type rectangle. Furthermore, on the crop tool I'm not getting the handles where I can adjust the size of the crop box. When I try to make the shape bigger the top and bottom edges go completely off the canvas. This problem has happened a couple of times and usually corrects itself when I reboot, but this time it hasn't. I've probably got a setting wrong somewhere.
The quick selection tool now doesn't work on the image I'm editing at all. When I try to select only the leaf, the marquee jumps straight to the edge of the photo, effectively selecting the whole of the image and background. Here is a screenshot:
I have tried resetting the tool.
What happened to PERSPECTIVE when I use the CROP tool?

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.
The 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 use the rectangular marquee to crop a picture it now has rounded corners.
This has never happened before.
How do I get back to the square corners.

Why might the Marquee Tool be stuck on rectangular? I can't access Elliptical or the other types.
When I use the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" with my mouse, it is often difficult to do it accurately. Is there an easier way to do it than with the mouse, - can I manually enter the size of my selection .

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have CS6 on two Mac computers, a desktop and a laptop. On the desktop, everytime I draw a Rectangular Marquee, a very distracting black box with dimensions comes on at the lower right corner of the selection. This does not happen with CS6 on my laptop. I can't find a control to turn this box off. Where is it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have CS2 on Windows XP. For some reason (probably operator error) I can no longer move the Rectangular Marquee Tool in a fixed size mode arond my picture. When I expand it to, for example, 8.5" x 11" it just sits there.
I used to be able to expand it, then move it about the photo until I got it where I wanted to do the crop.Does anyone have any ideas what has happened? Also I notice that the crosshairs now have a little bar in the lower right quadrant when I roll my cursor on the photo. Not sure if that is significant.
I can select the Quick Selection Tool, which then presents the Quick Selection Tool and the Selecton Brush Tool options in the Tool Options bar (bottom left corner). But nowhere is there an option for rectangular marquee tool or elliptical tool. (This is for Elements 12)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have NO idea how I managed to do this, but if I copy a piece from a file, the rectangular changes from square to sort of roundish.
And when I do copy and paste (control C - Control V), the edges of the copied piece in the new file are transparant. Which is exactly what I do NOT want! How can I change this back to the normal way of copying?
What 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?

The last time I used PS was about two weeks (it's summer) and I had the marquee size set to 2.18x2.18 inches. I just changed it to 2.15x4.35 inches. When I click on the image, which is about 2.25x4.45 inches, it selects an area 2.18x2.18 inches. The dimensions in the boxes are 2.15 and 4.35 inches. Feather is 0 pixels.
Crop tool deletes area within the marquee!? Never did this before!

If I make a selection using any of the Selection Tools then I can drag the selection with the same tool except for the Rectanguar Marque Tool (RMT). If I make a selection using the RMT then try to drag it then all I get is another selection. Photoshop CS5 on Windows 8. How to revert to the default situation where I can drag the selection, or has my installation got corrupted somehow ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI use Photoshop to design interfaces and then cut down the graphics, by using the rectangular marquee tool and selecting the area that I want to save, copy-merged and then paste into a new document, of the correct canvas size according to the selection area, and then save for web..I end up with dozens of open windows all "Untitled" something, unsaved.
All I want is being able to select an area in my document using the marquee tool and then select from File a save function like "Save selection for web and devices...".
Perhapse this option could be in the "Save for web and devices.." dialog, where you could select from a dropdown the following:
"Entire document" (default)
"The entire selected area"
"Trimmed down selected area"
When I click and drag with the direct selection tool, I'm getting a drag on the object rather than a marque for selecting points. As soon as I click, the tool switches to the black arrow tool. Did I mess up a setting somewhere? I'm not using any modifier keys.
