Select > feather vs feather in the options bar

If I make a section with the Selection tool and select > feather 100 px, I get a rectangular gradient smooth.

If I use the same selection rectangle, preceded by feathering in the Options bar, I get an oval selection reflecting the feather.

I observe the fringes by creating a layer mask, or by dragging the layer selected in another document.

Why is the different plumage?

Thank you very much

BTW, I was doing this little experiment on a background layer.

I don't know if they would be exactly the same, but it should be a pretty tight match that a casual glance would not see the difference.

What is the size of your rectangle selection?

Could you post some screenshots with the steps in each case?

  • How can I remove the selection of search engines to the search bar as you type?

    Since the last update when I type in the search field, all the possible search engines are visible, and it's very confusing use now. It is also a double feature as I see that the selection of search engine is still available next to the search icon.

    Is there a way to disable the display of all the search engines available in the results 'search as you type "?

    Running Ubuntu.

    Please, do not react with an antibot question or answer, the only goal, is that I see if it's possible or not until you switch to another browser. Seems more recent updates to firefox are based mainly on the subjective views of individuals rather than on the wishes of the user. Such a shame for that one good browser.

    Best regards and thanks in advance.

    You can find research tab to change search engines in Options/preferences between the tabs and content in the current version.

    If you want to restore the window previously used independently to manage search engines, you can enable or disable this pref to false with a middle-click on the topic: config page.

    • topic: config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false

    You will need to close and restart Firefox to make it work properly.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Options Bar - how to return between 'text' or 'icons' in the options bar

    The Options in Photoshop CC bar was representative of text and in Photoshop CC-2015 options is the icons. For example, when you have the selected spot healing tool options bar would show an option for sensitive content in 'text' but now I see it as an "icon" that I have to hover over to see the text. This may be configured or "flip" in both senses of 'text' to 'icons' or vice versa?

    Thanks for the update.

    Go to Preferences > workspace > uncheck 'Enable close bar options' > restart Photoshop

  • Mode full screen and the options bar help? Using Cintiq hybrid

    So I've just updated to El Capitan on my macbook pro 2012. I use a hybrid of companion Cintiq drawing and turn Photoshop CS6. Whenever I goes into full screen mode, my options bar appears down, blocking my screen.

    I can't drag or move

    It is technically at the top, but it is obviously at the bottom. (Aka every time that it seeds I can see at the top where it's supposed to be).

    I've updated the drivers for the wacom tablet.

    I messed with the windows > > Workspace and reset everything and it still appears at the bottom.

    It does seem that it's on my cintiq screen and NOT my computer screen.

    No one knows what might contribute to this? Please help me it's extremely frustrating and everything was fine until I upgraded to stupid El Capitan.

    Thank you!!!

    I'm out of ideas besides a Cintiq.

    So see if Wacom forums can offer something. Apple and Mac rumors: Apple Mac iOS rumors and News you care of as well as Wacom user forums.

    I don't know if you want, but the trial on Photoshop CC 2015.  CS6 is old enough and work well with the new OSX and Cintiq.

    I would recommend what I call a 'clean' uninstall/reinstall

    Uninstall the CS6 or remove preferences if requested.

    Use the cleanup tool to remove the remaining files that are not part of the uninstall. Use of the Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems

    Reinstall all updates.

    The options for my move tool bar has changed.  Is no longer an automatic selection option, does anyone know how to get it back? Thank you!

    You have the close option enabled bar, so it can be confusing at first.

    Anyway the left most icon is that of automatic selection

    If you want to return to the options bar your opportunity, go to Photoshop > Preferences > Interface and uncheck the box Enable close Bar Options , and then restart photoshop.

  • in the options, the selection for "use my windows and labels of yesterday" is grayed out I want to know why?

    I can not set the options, use my window and tags from yesterday, because it is grayed out! I could not find why it would be gray.

    I keep 5 tabs open all the time and it becomes a pain to have to reset the all bookmarks, each time firefox is closed and reopened. just because I can't put to do so in the options, because the selection is grayed out in the options

    Because you're probably using private browsing, go to tool > > privacy > > will Firefox option: change to remember history, now you can change this option "When Firefox Start" to "show my windows and tabs from last time.
