• Editing audio first in Audition, when the marquee tool, the changes do not take effect or I would like to export.

  Editing audio first in Audition, when you use the marquee tool to get rid of unwanted 'knocking' noise audio, the changes do not take effect or I would export after changes in the spectral display.

  No indication on how to save the changes to the marquee selection tool would be great.

  Hmm.  You did something for the audio in the selection?  It looks not to the file has been modified at all, and the registration option is not enabled, unless a change has occurred.  I suppose you try to remove or reduce the volume of the sound inside the selection rectangle, is that correct?  With this selection, you can press DELETE to remove it completely, or set the volume floating just above the selection of lower button.

  It also seems that you stopped reading, and while that save the selection under will be activated pause, of many other commands will not.

  So, try in the following order:

  1 stop playback.  Is File > Save now activated?

  2. otherwise, do some edit to this file.  You will know that the file is considered 'dirty' when an asterisk * appears next to the name of the file in the files Panel and the top of the editor Panel.

  3. There is no number 3.  I feel confident, one of the first two options will work.  Once the file is saved and overwritten, go back to the first and you should hear the content updated the.

• PS Elements 13 - do not select marquee tool

  Have recently updated to 13 PSE and don't know if I used the marquee from the upgrade tool.  Any effort to select with the marquee tool cause no selection.  It's almost as if the tool does not know the left mouse button is pressed (have tested the left button of the mouse with several other applications, no problems and works of left button of the mouse to other PES functions).  Also tested to ensure that it is not a case of drawing selection lines simply do not - I have try a selection then copy/paste and I always get a dough in the center of the layer.  Tried to reset and reboot PSE without change preferences.

  Hoping someone has seen this before and has any suggestions on what I can try.

  Thank you

  Try to reset the tool. There should be a box with lines on this subject on the options bar of the tool on the right. Click on this to reset.

• Can I lock the marquee tool to make the only rectangles?

  I lose track of the issue of whether the selection tool is selected - and press M to get, and often this means I get the circle marquee. Is it possible to lock the marquee tool to make a rectangular selection only? that is, I have to reach the top in the Toolbox to make the circle--as was the case in earlier versions of the PSD.

  There is one very annoying thing that I hope that they have considered!

  Correction: Based on the M key is changing your selection Rectangle rectangle, ellipse, then you should go to Edit > Preferences > General and tick "use Shift key for tool switch."

  This will require then you hold the SHIFT key before you press M and your marquee tool will stay on the rectangle.

• I lost the marquee tool cursor control

  Running PSE9 under MAC OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

  I was setting in flag of borders of several pictures using the marquee tool > select > feather > inverse selection > remove and it works well.  Then I started another picture and the marquee selection tool now won't give me a rectangle of varying size, but rather a little square that moves, but will not change its size (unlike the option shift which, if I understand correctly, lock in a square shape, but allows a change of size).  I have to hit keys wrong somehow, but what?  And how to return to normal operation?  Attached picture shows the small square in the upper left corner of my image.

  Oh yes, Happy New Year!

  

  To the left of the options bar is a small triangle. Click on it and choose Reset tool.

  The script that I found and modifed begins with a transparent activeLayer. It performs some tasks not necessary because you want to start with a layer with a selection. So instead of modifing the script to change the document mode, I modified the script to work with the other modes. I think that is should now work with grayscale mode, RGB, lab, and CMYK. Note, that I don't have to add a test for fashion and this may fail with other modes.

• get the selection instead of the puppet pin tool marquee tool

  I imported a png file in the new composition and wanted to distort the image with the puppet tool, but instead of the puppet pin tool that I always get the marquee tool

  tried to keep Alt, Shift, Ctrl, did not help

  puppet pin tool works fine on the other compositions. It's the first time I encounter such a problem with the puppet tool. What is going on?

  AE CS6 on win7

  First question, what size is this file? I don't see any dimension.

  Second question, it is necessary to have layers in this picture? Looks like you apply puppet pin on the entire fly.

  Third question, have you tried to reduce the size of the file in Photoshop to about the size of your computer and then saving it as a png 24-bit or single-layer PSD or tiff with an alpha channel?

  It is difficult to know because there is no detail about right PSD, but it could be wrong, too much color space, or have another problem that I don't see.

• The height adjustment of product with the marquee tool. How?

  When I use the marquee tool to draw a shape - square/circle etc. I sometimes don't get the size exactly to my needs. is there a way to fine-tune the size of the product? I guess that there is a key combination that will allow me to make fine adjustments upwards or downwards for the size of the shape. Does anyone know how to do this without closing and starting again and again until I get what I ask?

  Hello.

  In the toolbar, you can set a specific size in pixels or whatever.

  Or, you can do a right click on the selection and choose transform selection.

• Various measures between the ruler tool and marquee tool?

  I use Photoshop CS 5 Extended

  Why are there two different measures?

  I positioned guides on the image for purposes of measurement.  I have the snap-to Guides on. I used the ruler tool snap a guide and I extended a straight line to the other guide (the SHIFT key down). The ruler tool read 712 pixels.

  Then I used the marquee tool to align the guides and it read x 720 pixels.

  What you believe?

  Where?  In the Info Panel?  If Yes, have you read the W (width) and not the X (horizontal pixel position)?

  I just did what you said and got consistent measures.

• Unable to compel the rectangle marquee tool

  Hold down the SHIFT key while a rectangle using the selection Rectangle does not work. In other words, the rectangle is not limited to a square using this technique. I think that the problem may be with settings for this tool. I don't see how to restore the default values in the preferences. Restore the essential to the default workspace has not helped. How can I limit the rectangles and ovals using the tools marquee and lasso? Thank you.

  Hello

  What version of photoshop are you using?

  You can reset the default values to a tool or all the tools by right-clicking on the icon for the tool in the tool options bar.

  That can also happen if you have something other than new active selection in the toolbar options.

  

  

• Select an exact size of the image to be copied when you use the "Marquee" tool

  How can I select an exact size of the image to be copied when you use the "marquee"?...

  I like to choose a section image of 14.00 x 12,00... When you use the marquee selection tool, you can not control the mouse to select exactly 14.00 12.00 x is always a little higher or lower at 14:00 or 12: 00 am...

  is there a way that you can easily select the exact size of 14,00 x 12,00?...

  Please advise...

  see you soon,

  Hi wong168,

  You can use the fixed size option and enter the size in the input fields using the unit of measure of your choice; That is to say in, px, cm etc.

  If you right click in the entry boxes there are the list of measured values.

  

  

• PSE7, creation of thumbnail, which is Oval Marquee tool?

  . I've used PSE3 for photo edting.  I now PSE7. I am creating a "classic vignette effect" as described in the book of PSE3 Kelby, pg 300-301.

  This effect is intended to highlight the baby inside an oval with edges rounded and blur everything behind the main subject.   By clicking on the Rectangle selection tool, I find no circle or oval tools, just the squares and rectangles. I need a tool to draw an oval space around my baby's face.  Under the framing box icon there are squares and triangles, no circle or oval. You can direct me further in this technique using simple instructions?  I appreciate your answers!

  Are you sure that you have the marquee selection tool and not the shape tool? The marquee is way up in the Toolbox with the shape tool. It's the dotted rectangle bit and when you click on it, if you hold down the mouse, or if you right-click, you will get the option for the elliptical marquee.

• Odd choice issue when usign the marquee tool...

  boy, I hope someone knows the answer to that.

  When I chose something of an image and copy it to a new image (using the marquee, selection tool, select copy, paste it into a new image layers I'm trying)... I get the 1px boring 'edge' to the image that resembles a transparency of 50% around him.  My plumage is set to 0px.

  I have no idea where the parameter is to remove it.

  It's Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 on PC.

  Let me know.

  Dave was soon

  In the tool mark there may be a setting in "refine edge"?  Adjustments can be made once the selection is made.
