  Ivan,

  If it's on the rectangular objects, you may have encountered the bug Rectangle Live which is limited to the MAC versions from 10.7 and 10.8, but not of 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). If all goes well, the bug will be fixed soon.

  Thus, a switch for the Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstall might be the way to solve it here and now.

  To get around it, in each case, it is possible to develop direct Rectangles to get the normal old shaped rectangles or Pathfinder > unit, or use the scale tool or the free transform tool.

  A more permanent way round that is to create normal old shaped rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

• quick selection tool doesn't work not as expected

  I used photoshop for the last 3 weeks to cut out pictures and create a transparent background.

  ex

  Method: Open the img in ps6. then use the Quick Selection tool to select the area of interest, then click on the tab 'Edit' then choose cut on the menu drop down.

  Now the same method gives me a white background.

  I have reset photoshop by reopening with clt alt shift and reset to default... same result

  also reinstalled photoshop... of the efforts in vain.

  Can someone help pls

  I don't know what is happening here, but your steps really do that properly in all cases. Try this.

  (1) make your selection, you see the moving dotted line

  

  2) click on the layer mask icon in the indicated measure. Note the mask is shown on layer 0

  

  (3) on the screen, it will look like this with a transparent background, but nothing has been deleted

  

  (4) If you are not comfortable with being there layer mask, select the mask and right click then choose apply layer mask. I would say it's totally useless, but some people find it easier to understand.

  

  (5) the layer will look like below. I know its tempting to cut and paste, but ultimately you lose things, but to do this way, you are in complete control and can go back if you make a mistake.

  

• Save the selection tool doesn't let me save my current document!

  Then all of a sudden, when I tried to save a selection with the magic wand tool / quick selection tool, it would allow me to record in the current and only open the document in Photoshop. Instead, the only option is for me, to save to a new document, and it just opened a new document. I had been save playlists for the document very well and all of suddenly it is just didn't give me the option more. When I something, charge, however, the name of the document is there and all my previously saved selections. I am enclosing pictures of me trying to save a selection and load me a selection. All ideas to be able to save my selections yet?

  How many channels you have in the Panel layers? Window > channels to see.

  You are allowed 53 alpha channels in an RGB document as mine shows the same thing after clicking on the max.
  

• Quick selection tool doesn't work does not correctly

  Hi guys

  I have a picture of merger of large photo and wanted content aware fill the missing pieces. When I try to use the tool select selects while I hold my mouse down button, but as soon as I let go it seems to disappear or jump to a completely different place. This only happens in part checkered with no picture, I can choose things very well in the image itself.

  My guess is that it doesn't work because the image is too large? 48 k x 5 k

  I might try just the Spot Healing Brush instead, the thought seems too well to manage things.

  Just to add to this, nothing to do with the size of the image that I can't select a very small image either. Basically I can only select the photo to actaully rather than the grid around the outside part when I want to fill it with content.

  After you ctrl click on the layer to load the transparency of the layers:

  (click on the screenshots for larger views below)

  

  Select > Inverse

  Select > Modify > Expand and use a value about 10 pixels

  (varies depending on how your pano is great)

  

  then edit > fill > Content Aware

  

  You may still need to retouch certain areas like the one above should still.

• Impossible to move objects with the Selection tool

  So I just installed Illustrator CC, I have now on a trial license.  An hour ago, Illustrator suddenly began to refuse to move objects, while I'm in the selection tool.  I can move objects in the free transform.  I use shortcut keys a lot, so it's really slow me down.  I hit 'V' to click on and then move an object, and then it won't move. I get the error sound, but no dialog box appears to explain the error.

  Because I'm about to bite the bullet and start paying a hefty monthly fee for this program, at my trial runs out, that's enough aggravating circumstances.  Anyone has any ideas what can cause this?

  Looks like there could be a hidden modal dialog open. Hit the ESC key does nothing to release the objects?

• Issues of selection tool.

  So I worked on a project in illustrator and all of a sudden, I couldn't use the selection tool to rotate and manipulate objects more. The arrows appear even to do this kind of action. Is it possible that I accidentally turned off the tool? If so, how do I turn it back on so I can work with him as it was before?

  May have you used Cmd (Ctrl)-h, which is the toggle to show/hide the edges or Cmd (Ctrl) - SHIFT - B, which is the toggle to show/hide the rectangle encompassing?

• Move the function of automatic selection of the tool is not capture several objects on drag / select.

  I know that the title of this discussion is a bit murky, but the problem is a little weird.  I have Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2.  In this version, I will activate the selection, automatic check selection tool: layer, select Show transform controls and then while using the selection tool, I will drag to create a rectangle to select several layers with content in the specified area.  Unfortunately, this action doesn't work when I start the selection of outside of the area of the canvas.  If started from in the space of the canvas, any rectangle will appear, it will show me a measure of the size of my choice, and then choose without diapers as soon as available.

  This may not be working as intended, right?  I mean multi-Select drag cannot be wanted only work when started outside the canvas on the right?  Is there a way to fix this?  Is this a bug?  See the images below for more information on this issue.

  

  If you have the tool move on automatic selection, and you begin to drag inside the canvas... It will not work as you expect that it is not selectable area unless the point where you click to start the drag operation (such as a locked layer or transparency)

  When you do it the way you describe... the move tool self-selecting a layer and pass only a layer.

  Look at your layer panel and see which layer targeted to your insertion point of the trail. And lock it.

  (in other words, if I understand correctly your problem)

• Why aren't my live paint selection tool and direct selection indicating when objects are selected?

  In the document 'A', when I use the live paint selection tool click on a segment of my live paint group, this segment becomes "gray" or "pixelated" to indicate that I have selected it.

  In the document 'B', no indication at all when a live painting segment is selected.  It has the same appearance as a segment not selected.

  I am using the same tool & selection of segments in the same way both times.  I even experienced and pasted the same live paint group in both documents, to confirm that the appearance of the selected segments did not differ between the two documents.

  Even my regular direct selection tool is not indicating when a path or object is selected in the document 'B'.   There must be some setting or preference that differs between the two documents.    Someone has an idea it might be?  Also, is there a way to restore all the settings by default in a single shot, so I don't run into these problems of 'settings' elsewhere?

  I use Illustrator CS3.  I would appreciate any ideas!  Thank you.

  Doc 'A' - live paint Group segment is highlighted when I select with the live paint Selection tool...

  

  ... Again in the document seems mysterious 'B', the segment the same chosen as not selected!

  

  Is "Show Edges?

  Press Cmd (Win: Ctrl) + H

• 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.

• What does it mean when the Selection tool in illustrator has a small white box or black next to the pointer?  I did a clipping of an object mask and now can't move and selection pointer has small box beside him.  Yet to learn...

  What does it mean when the Selection tool in illustrator has a small white box or black next to the pointer?  I did a clipping of an object mask and now can't move and selection pointer has small box beside him.  Yet to learn...

  When it is over an unselected path or shape (as in, something that you can select if you click right here), it shows a black box. When you're not selected anchor, it shows a white box.

  Magnify tool doesn't let me drag, and select. Minutes I try to drag, he's going super huge. Is there a setting to return to normal.

  Thank you.

  Ann, uncheck 'Scrubby zoom' in the toolbar options if you want to zoom in a move window.

• Selection tool works not - only work for moving objects

  My selection tool does not at all - when I select an object with it, it only shows the anchors of direct selection, but does not allow me to change an anchor elements. It will allow me to move the object to resize (or change the position of the anchorages either).

  When I select the text tool and press command to change the text box, nothing happens and it won't let me change anything.

  I'm in CS5, on a Mac.

  I already rebooted Illustrator (nothing is) and then restarted my computer, and it is not yet fixed.

  Help?

  Take a look at show/hide edges and show/hide the rectangle enclosing. Both located in the view menu.
