behavior of selection tool

Is it just me or the selection tool behavior changed?  Did not use to be able to move a selction without going tansform selection?  Now, by default, you click on a selection and you add (the cursor always has a + unless you change with ctrl or alt or both).

I can change it to preffs? I'm going crazy and its always been like that?

Strangely, I had exactly the same behavior after the last update and got halfway through a thread, asking questions on a startup, but thought I'd better try a tool reset everything first.  It fixed for me.  Select any tool, and use the drop-down list to the left of the Options bar and reset all tools.  Unlike preferences, there are now reset to the tilted side tools, and your best chance of a solution is to reset everything.

If it does not it for you, can you verify that you are not getting confused with display controls to turn when you have selected the tool move?

  • Black bad behavior Arror (selection tool)

    How is it that when I click and drag a box with an image using the black (selection) arrow tool, rather than moving the entire area, it moves all the content of the box?   It's the white direct selection arrow that governs the movement of the contents of a box.

    arrow black must move the object of ANY... what gives here?

    is it possible to have the black arrow tool don't move objects integers, content and everything?

    When you drag the pointer of your mouse over a box - a circular object that looks like a ring of development through the lens of the camera is displayed (it is in fact intended to be a quick way to check the size of an image/object) -If you click the box when this circular object shows you choose 'content'-simply select the box by its edge , or make sure the round thing is not visible and you'll be fine

  • Elliptical selection tool - "no attention WARNING: no pixels are selected to more than 50 percent." The edges of the selection will be not visible.

    I am convinced that it is a bug in Photoshop CC 2014. I am on Windows 7, 64-bit. The 2014.2.2 version, and the version is 2014.204.r.310 x 64. If I select a zone by using the Rectangle tool, the area is described as usual. However, if I use the elliptical selection tool and select the same area, I get the warning. Even if I fill the region using the paint bucket, I always get error if I try to select using the elliptical framing box. Is always successful with the rectangle. I've seen other users re issues. the lasso tool with the same behavior and warning. The usual answer has been put at the edge of the feather to 0. However, it is by default (on my system) to 0.0. Using the selector to improve the contour and by replacing the value 0 (or any other value) makes no difference and in fact after this and clicking OK, the warning screens.

    Is this a bug with the elliptical selection tool? I've updated Photoshop just before submitting this question, and the behavior is unchanged.

    Hi irwin,

    There are different possibilities to solve this situation. Try one of the following options;

    • Decrease the radius of softening of the selection tools,
    • Increase the size of the selection
    • Increase the size of the image (this may decrease the quality of your image),.
    • Ignore the warning message and keep going to work on your file (remember that your selection is still there).
    • Also, make sure that you selected and the targeting of the correct layer.

    You may prefer to set the feather to zero in on the selection tools and use the pen (Ctrl + Alt + D) command for each specific selection. Using the feather command does not change the parameter of smoothing (zero value) on selection tool, so you don't need to wory on previous selections feather RADIUS.

    Let us know if that helps.

    Kind regards

  • Selection tool became Rolling edit

    I am very confused and must have messed up something in the settings somewhere.

    I use Adobe first CC

    When I selected in the timeline panel (something of pointer) selection tool, it doesn't seem to work.  If I fly over the elements of editing the symbol that indicates is to change it to roll. Move a single item or clips stacked acts just like rolling Edit, and I can't figure how to get back to the basic selection tool.

    I see the same behavior in all sequences of the project I'm working on as well as sequences in other older projects. Then I suppose I must have messed up something in the Basic program, but I have no idea how to do to reset anything I did.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can check the preferences of the deployment/rippel under trim tool.

  • Need help with the Selection tool

    Hi all

    I have a few strange occurrences (for me) while using the 'quick selection'...

    Explanation

    I'm using PS 11 items on a PC Win 7 (64).

    What I want to do is to create a new pic from an existing photo.  Background of the existing of the captain not suitable for what I want.  But the FG is what I need.  I thought that by selecting the FG object and to be placed in a new pic would be what I need using the <Quick Selection tool>.

    To do this, I try to use the <Quick Selection tool>.  I had degrees of success using it.  I do not understand one main thing & pretty much makes my useless project & voidable, is the fact that when I use <Refine Edge> so that I can refine my selection of edge, my pic is lost immediately or removed.  Since I have no idea what is going on, I am obliged to close the peak (without saving the changes, of course) and then re-opening the pic.  All is well until I click the button <Refine Edge> once again, then, my pic disappears AGAIN!

    My guess is that maybe the captain doesn't turn somehow a layer or something.  But, how can I disable this behavior and make not my pic disappear?

    There are a few more details on this selection tool <>I'm muddy on.  Is there something where I can read more on its use?  I would like to learn more, but how?  Where?

    I now read the manual part online on the selection tools.  Although he enlighten us, I need more.

    I'm not a constant user of the PSE, instead, I use it only on occasions.  Normally, I use its scanning functions.  I can play with some other features, but I also know that the PSE offers many other powerful features, I use rarely, if ever.

    To do this, I am using the Quick Selection tool>.  I had degrees of success using it.  A main thing, I understand & pretty much makes my project useless & voidable, lies in the fact that whenever I use Refine Edge> so that I can refine my selection of edge, my pic is immediately lost or kidnapped.  Since I have no idea what is going on, I am obliged to close the picture (without saving the changes, of course) & then reopening the pic.  Everything is fine until I click on Refine Edge> new button, then, my pic disappears AGAIN!

    Try to reset the tool. To do this, look for a box with lines inside on the tool, and then reset options bar.

    If that fixed it, reset the preferences. To do this, go in Edition > Preferences > General, click Reset preferences on the next launch.

  • When I use the selection tool to move vector points and fold the edges, I see that the change in metal frame.

    When I use the selection tool to move vector points and fold the edges, I see that the change in metal frame.  Once I commit by letting go of the mouse button, the object changes.  It presents a preview just with a wire frame. I would like to see the preview to change on the solid object.  Is there a setting somewhere?

    I really hope I'm explaining this to people to understand .

    Hi Ed,

    You use a previous version of Flash Pro that displays this behavior.

    Live the overview of forms while editing got added in Flash Pro CC (and above). You can try the latest version of Flash Pro (CC 2014) see how it works.

  • Behavior of pen tool that I find a bit odd

    I don't know if it's something that you can change or just the way things are.

    you draw a path and you have the black arrow as your modifier [ctrl], but you want the white arrow, if you switch to it, then go back to the pen and wear on the drawing. but the pen wants to start a new path because you change tools. or you want to turn on or off smart guides half way, same case. This seems a bit out of me, so I wonder if there is something I have not adjusted. the pen tool in PS does not appear you the spirit of switching selection tools: as long as you were on the path is unhindered, he picks up the anchor, it stopped.

    It's just the way it is. Too-many-separate-tools of the Illustrator design often prevent behaviors which are taken for granted in programs with more elegant design interfaces.

  • Selection tool is not the tail with images when you drag

    So I had this frustrating thing for a while. When I put my selection tool a video file at first to move to the side or another layer and as soon as, like moving the selection tool a bit, he places automatically the video one layer under my selection tool... So I have to move the selection up to a length of layers tool to adjust it to the left and right on the timeline... Just a fight. I wish that the selection tool has not changed the layer of videos when I moved it left and right... Just stick with the images that I am setting on the im adjustment layer. Check out the video and you will understand what im getting. The selection tool shows a strange looking symbol with an arrow pointing down so I guess it's just a special feature that was accidentally checked the. You just don't know where I can go back to normal. Thank you

    Went on the Chat with Adobe and they solved the problem via remote access.

    First on erase my personalized workspaces closed first pro. Then went to my "documents" (I have a mac) 'Adobe' and then click 'Premiere Pro' and moved three files named "6.0" "9.0" and "10.0" in a new folder, that they named "Od." Finally they opened back first. When the box came to put everything in place, they went up to the top of the window and deselected "import the project workspace" under "workspaces". I have opened a project and it fixed the problem. I had to make a new workspace and change some shortcuts custom back, but other that that, it was back to normal.

  • the fitting of the image in the field including AutoFit options are not displayed on my options panel of the selections Tools toolbar

    The fitting of the image in the field including AutoFit options are not displayed on my options panel to toolbar for the selection tools. How can I view?

    You're out of space. Some toolbar has been resized/re-spaced in the last update. Click on the menu button (on the far-right in your screenshot) and select Customize... Make sure that the mounting frame (object) is selected. If this is the case, you should disable something else to make room for this group of button.

    Furthermore, I see that your application window is not maximized. What happens if you expand to the maximum it?

    Stupid question CS6. How can I get rid of my experience after using the quick selection tool?

    The best way would be to make sure that your layer is not a background layer: click the lock icon in this case. Then click the icon at the bottom of the layer panel layer mask. This will create a mask that you can refine and not be destructive.

  • Photoshop Elements 14 Quick Selection tool breaks

    I often use the quick selection tool to clone or highlight areas of the image for the special edition. Invariably, after several weeks of use, it stops working. It does not have the AutoFill feature nor can I enclose an area for further editing. In the past, I just uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop Elements. Last week, not even this method worked. This was also a problem in Photoshop elements 11, in my experience. What is the cause of the problem and what is the solution?

    A simple reset will often do the trick. Go to this link and select the Quick Selection tool:
