Movement of the elliptical selection tool

Hello.  Really hoping someone can help me with a problem I have with the elliptical selection tool. After you select this tool and draw an oval shape on my image, I know I should be able to move the oval image around the screen, using the arrow keys (I think), until he frames the part of the image I want framed.  However, the arrow keys do not work for me in order to move the oval autour. When I press the arrows on the keyboard, I can see my cursor moving through the icons of Photo effects to the right of the Editor window (version 6 elements). Is anyone know how can I be sure the arrows on the keyboard to move the oval or does anyone know of any other way of making the oval move around the image?

Thank you very much

I did not talk about what happens when you try to reset before preferences.

You can manually reset that could bypass the shortcut keyboard keys, but I wonder why Vista is supported for this shortcut... and if it interferes with them in Photoshop Elements. I can't browse the net at the moment...

In any case, here is the manual way to reset the preferences file... Although I think that it could not be of use if Vista isn't free of shortcuts to the application.

Step #3 "re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences files and registry entries" in this document... Just do 1-4 in this paragraph do not go in the steps of the graft.

Note: It is a hidden folder in this way then you will have the hidden files and folders shown to follow.

Tut on how to do this:

I would recommend going back and still hide once you are finished, manually rename the preferences.

  • 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.

But for some reason, the tool does not work and I'm going through the procedure of Scott Kelby said to do.

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?

  • The elliptical selection tool is not on my PES 11

    I'm following a tutorial using PES 11 layers. The presenter selects the elliptical selection tool to edit cuts. I don't see the elliptical selection tool in my PES 11?

    Thank you

    Click on the rectangle (dotted rectangle) and you will see the elliptical marquee in the tool at the bottom of the PSE window options.

  • 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.

  • Cannot see the whole picture when you move into a smaller template with the direct Selection tool

    Hello!

    I recently got my laptop cleaned in preparation for examinations and such (I'm in high school). As I belong to art class, when Basic programs have been re-installed we also got the Adobe programs, but we got the CC 2015 version instead of the version CS5, we had earlier. After a stressful week, I finally had time to sit and work on my projects aside, but I quickly found a big problem which stops at my work. After re size the image at the size I want, I don't see the whole picture when I move in the smallest area with the direct Selection tool more. Photos I use are generally quite large, that I've tried to work with now are 451mmx338mm after the scaling down and I have a 'framework of standard departure' to 60mmx15mm (I make the bosses), so now I have basically has to guess my way toward a good composition...

    Can I make it work again?

    Click on the image and hold the pointer of the mouse for a while. And then drag.

  • the direct selection tool - how not to move the shape/path?

    This thing drives me to work my anti-stress ball: when I touch a path with the white arrow, I'm always first in a mode where the path may be moved. But I want to move a blink of an eye or the handle - is there a place where I can put this tool to do not move or or to select never all the way? I have the normal selection for that tool! I think I watch something. Thank you!

    orangestuff,

    You can edit > Preferences > General and then uncheck the box use area select, but it means that you need to knock or drag on the path when you use the normal selection tool.

    And it's always good to be able to make a success and train your finger to spring.

  • Cannot move a selection while using the rectangular selection tool brand

    If I make a selection using the selection tools then I can drag the selection with the same tool, with the exception of the branding tool tubes (RMT).   If I make a selection by using the RMT, then try to drag, then all I get is another selection.  Photoshop CS5 in Windows 8.   Anyone any idea how to get back to the default situation where I can drag the selection, or has my installation has been corrupted somehow?

    Most likely you do not have new selection activated in the toolbar options for the rectangular selection tool.

  • I would like to cut out an object using the Quick Selection tool and drop the object into another image. Can anyone help

    I use background images and want to cut objects of other JPEG files using the Quick Selection tool and drop them in the background image. So if I have a banana and select the object, I need to copy the banana in the context on the other.

    Hope it makes sense.

    Gary

    Select the banana. Right click > copy layer. Move tool. Click and drag to the other file. Place on the image.

    GOLD: load history and banana in a stack (file > Scripts > load file in the stack). Select banana and layer for copy or create the layer mask.

  • 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 '.

  • How can I specify exact corners with the rectangular selection tool?

    Suppose I have an image width 2000 pixels by 1000 pixels high.  Pixel (0,0) is at the top on the left as you look at the picture.  Using the rectangle selection tool, how can I specify an exact size to choose?  Say, for example, I want to choose the area defined by (0,0), (100, 0), (100 100) & (0.100), how can I do this?

    I use Photoshop CS6 on a Mac with os x 10.8.3.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Kevin H.

    Once you have the choice of the exact size you want. You can move the mouse cursor in the area of selection, then click and drag the selection. If you have guide lines and align the guideline allowed the selection will jump to your guide line when you drag it close to them.

    If you set line guide first. When you drag a selection section should align with your guide lines.

  • Newby question about the Quick Selection tool

    I have what I think must be a simple background to remove a portrait.  This photo was taken near a white wall and a flash shadow was precipitated on the left.  The quick selection tool has no problem of selection of wall area in a mask.  The problem is when you try to register the shadow of the hood.   He has no problem with the hair.  There is a color difference evident between the hood and its shadow and its quite a different gray in the red channel.  Is it possible to adjust the tool quick selection to recognize different color or gray?

    TIA.

    Open the document you want to move to the first.

    Then return to this document (as in the screenshot), right-click on the selected layer in layers, "Duplicate layer", select the document target destination, press OK. Your layer, so that the mask is moved to the new document.

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

    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.

  • How to make default tool wand (instead of the Quick Selection tool)?

    Hello

    Whenever I open my photoshop software, the default value of 'W' is the quick selection tool. I'd rather be the magic wand tool. Sometimes she stays tool magic wand, other times, it comes down to the quick selection tool. How can I get the 'W' to stay the magic wand tool by default and not switch back to quick selection? I don't want to get rid of quick selection as I use it sometimes, but I used the magic wand.

    Click on the three dots at the bottom of the toolbar, and choose edit toolbar.

    Drag the Quick Selection above the magic wand tool and click done.
