  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.

  // original script can be found at  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4272787#4272787

• 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.)

  This

  

  instead of

  

  TKS

  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 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.

• Question of selection elements 2.0 to CS6 upgrade tool

  This is probably a stupid question.  But in Elements 2.0, the selection tool selects only literally what you want (such as a toothbrush).  In CS6, I can't find a similar selection tool.  Quick selection always makes it too wide selection and I end up having to constantly add and subtract this small success.  I know he has more advanced allows you to set the selection, but I want to know how to choose easily which is in my way of the brush.  I hope I conveyed what I'm trying to make it clear... Any help?

  I'm guessing that your taliking about the tool selection in photoshop elements brush 2.

  The quick mask in photoshop cs6 mode is similar to the mode mask selection Brush tool in pse 2.

• 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.

• Drawing Markup tools are still not selected

  I recently switched from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat X and I'm having a little trouble understanding the new interface.

  A problem is that when I used a drawing markup tool in Acrobat 9, it would remain to chosen so that I could draw lines in a number of places to stay.  With Acrobat X, whenever I draw a line the tool becomes selected, and I have to select all again in order to draw the next line.  I have to do something wrong.  A company as well as Adobe would not have designed such a difficult to use the tool.

  Can someone tell me how to keep the chosen drawing tools?

  Right, that is why he must then select the tool drawing that you want to use, as shown. It should appear after you do.

  Or you can select the drawing tool that you want to use, press Ctrl + E, and you should see the checkbox in the properties toolbar.

• 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.

• Rectangle does not select the entire image

  I used Photoshop 9 for quite awhile, but the rectangular mark does not work properly.  I don't stretch and select the entire image.  I reloaded the software without modification.  What I don't want to change that?

  Hello, look in your toolbar Option: you have fixed ratio and fixed size, selected in the Style: fall down. Select normal for a marquee 'free. '

  

  Also, make sure that you don't have a pen (if should be + 0 px like in my picture).

  You can also right-click on the marquee in the options even bar and select "reset tool", if the steps above do not work.

  I hope this helps!

• Is there a selection Brush tool in CS5?

  I recently moved to the top of Photoshop Elements for CS5 which included a tool selection and more brush brush for quick selection.  Selection Brush tool to paint a selection free style without being bothered by the 'Quick' function which provides guess everything where you can select.  I couldn't find the selection Brush tool in CS5.  Is this one?  The lasso is not as easy to use.

  Thank you.

  The "brush selection" in the elements is a subset of the Quick Mask mode in Photoshop.

  Select fast is something else.

• 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.
