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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Error in the marquee tool.

    I am currently working on the cropping of photos.  All of a sudden, my Rectangle tool converts the elliptical tool every time I

    try cropping.  I tried everything, but the elliptical dotted line appears in the middle of the picture whenever I try to create a

    rectangular cultures.  I'm sure it's probably just a simple mistake on my part, but I don't know what it is.  Thanks in advance.

    First, make sure you select the Rectangle tool

    and not the elliptical Selection tool, which shares the same tool housing.

    Also check that the pen is set to 0 (zero).
