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.

Cntrl + [PS-CC/15] Marquee tool
How can I change to use the single arrow when I press on the control using the marquee tool? As before, in Photoshop CC/14. Now, the arrow is one who seizes anything on top with left click. (Or when the new shortcut is.)

When you have selected move - not the marquee tool tool, you have "Auto select" selected? This will cause the same behavior when you press the CTRL key when you use the marquee selection tool: he chooses the top layer of the majority to pass.

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.

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.

Using elliptical marquee tool hits
How to make several shots with marquee tool without starting a new form. When I pick up the pointer and move to a different location on the ellipse, it opens a new ellipse. I want to continue with the same ellipse that I started. There must be some keys I can hold down which allows me to do. Also, where can I find a list of the main features in the future.
Hello!
If you press the space bar once you have started the selection, you can move freely.

Snipping Tool question - how to capture several shears
original title; Question of tool cutting
How can I capture multiple captures in a single file, using the Snipping Tool?
Hi Luvminou,
It is not possible to capture several captures both. You can use the tool to capture the unique screenshot capture and save it and after that you will need to take another and then you can save it.
It is possible to keep together, but do not capture multiple captures both

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.
