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?

Thank you!

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

  • 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?

  • Driving bad magic wand selection tool

    Help...  I had this problem almost every time that I use Photoshop CS5 and previously with CS4. (never a problem with CS or CS2). When you try to make selections based on the color or contrast with the 'magic wand' tool, I find that she develops totally erratic behavior.  Even set a tolerance of 1 or 3 (pen = 0), for example, could select supermarkets or any other tone.

    I end up doing my masks (selections), either manually, or using a combination of tools like the magnetic lasso.  It is causing lose me a lot of time.  If anyone has any idea, please let me know.

    My system is an otherwise robust processor 64-bit WIn 7, Xeon, 18 GB of Ram.

    Thanks in advance,

  • When I use the quick selection tool, selected part becomes black and fuzzy.

    Hi all

  • Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a small black box when you use the marquee selection tool?

    In Photoshop CC on a mac...

    When you use the marquee selection tool, a little black box appears next to the cursor and displays in real time, the height and the width of the selection.  The same annoying box also appears when you drag an item with the tool move, displaying the numeric position of the cursor.  Is there anyway to disable the display of this little black box?  It makes me crazy.

    In cmd/ctrl-k preferences click "Interface". At the bottom of the interface user is a drop down menu to see the transformation. The value as 'never '.

    When it is over an unselected path or shape (as in, something that you can select if you click right here), it shows a black box. When you're not selected anchor, it shows a white box.

  • 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.

  • How to create a 2nd selection using the elliptical selection tool

    I try to create the outer edges darker IRIS with the elliptical selection tool. I am trying to elect the iris and then create another selection of the iris 2nd with the elliptical selection tool. This does not work for some reason any. I work from the examples and exercises in the book "Portrait Professional retouching TECHNIQUES for photographers using Photoshop" by Scott Kelby. But for some reason, the tool does not work and I'm going through the procedure of Scott Kelby said to do. After I have selective elliptical selection tool, I do a circular selection around the Iris then after I adjust the size of the selection, I go to the "Sélection" menu and choose "MAKE SELECTION" then, command - click a selection handle to help it adapt to the Iris; Then I press on and hold down the SHIFT key and select the other Iris. This allows you to create another selection on the 2nd Iris. This is the part that is not work - the creation of the second selection on the 2nd Iris.  can someone help me with this problem?

    Too bad I found that I had to have the selected squre which has been added to the chosen SELECTION. When I did that I could add to my selection

  • Selection tool sensitive to color in a limited area of the image

    Hi all

    For my work, I am interested in the measure of the area of pixel of the dark (black) in the sub picture, even the smallest. For less complex images, I used the magic wand and the selection tools to select my black areas and have Photoshop CC 2015 do measures on my selection. The problem with the image below that I have is that there are so many blackheads and they are scattered all over the image. Non-continuous the magic wand option unfortunately does not work for me in this case, because some of the dark spots have the same color as the other dark areas in the picture. So far, I only managed to make a good choice by selecting each point individually, which is a very tedious and somewhat subjective work. What I would like is a sort of quick selection tool with a tolerance as the magic wand option, so I can just fly over areas with small black to select tasks that these. I don't think that this is available in Photoshop, I'm looking for alternatives. That would also work for me, it is to have a way to limit the area that the magic wand tool selects objects of. For example, set a small area (as one of the white ice blocks) and then use the selection option discontinuous of the wand in this ice blocks so it will only select the dark stains on the ice block. If I can do this several times and combine the selections, I should be defined as well. Is it possible to achieve such a thing in Photoshop? In other words, what I would basically is the type of features in the background removal tool, but then make a selection in the foreground based on a color. All other ideas, suggestions, tips and tricks are also welcome! I hope my question is clear and that there is a solution for my problem. I'm very new to photoshop, so please be very clear in your answer, so I can understand every step .

    Edit: I noticed that I posted this maybe in the wrong part of the forum (?), I was a bit in a hurry at work. My apologies. If there is no matter what mod around to place them in the right sub-forum, please do!

    It works for you?

    To see it in full screen, double click on the image.

    1 use the curves to increase the contrast

    2. place an empty layer below the image and fill it white

    3. return to the top layer, click on the layer to bring up the layer Style

    4. in the section mixture if move the top left right slider until the black dots you want are isolated.

    Also, consider using this technique after the first change the mode to grayscale

  • 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.

  • Need help: missing Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Quick Selection tool.

    Hello everyone, one

    I'm in a strange problem. Tool for the quick selection of my Adobe Photoshop 7.0 is missing. The magic wand is there. But there is no small black arrow on this topic, click and move to the quick selection. There is no way that I can use quick selection. Press the W button opens only the magic wand. I believe that my software is broken. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling software and use custom and made sure all components have been selected during the installation, but it does not help. I tried the regular Setup Install 7.0 as well as creative cloud. For both, the quick selection tool is still missing. If someone could help me solve this problem, it will be very useful.

    Thank you

    Monica Kulkarni

    Correct, there is no quick selection tool in Photoshop version 7, The Cloud Creative offers three versions of Photoshop.  Photoshop CS6 version 13, CC Photoshop version 14 and CC 2014 Photoshop version 15 all versions have the quick selection 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 .
