Why a quick selection is clear my selection with second click?

I click the selection with my quick selection tool and then when I click again to continue to select more, the second begins to remove my current selection. I know now removes it key 'option' my selection but I don't hold the key 'option '. It starts just do it when I do my second click and continues then withdraw even if I continue to click. I've just updated Photoshop but that did not help. I have Photoshop CC. Help, please.

This is probably caused by you after clicking on the button "Subtract from selection" at some point in time, in the settings of the tool, see photo. If you have no selection when you start using the tool, it will create one, but as soon as there is an active selection tool will begin to subtract. Each tool of the PS remember its settings! As suggested by Pierre, reset your tool will solve this problem or just by clicking on the button "new selection". It can be a pretty good idea to reset your tools, the first thing you do every day a new working session in order to avoid such problems when starting.

  • When I choose my quick selection tool, I click and drag the first time, and he adds (my selection). BUT if I let go of the mouse button and try to select more it goes to Negative (-) and removes all selections I made and won't allow me not one

    When I choose my quick selection tool, I click and drag the first time, and he adds (my selection). BUT if I let go the mouse button and try to select it goes to Negative (-) and removes all the selections I made and not will not let me add again. I never had this problem before, you usually need to hold down the Alt (or Option MAC) to subtract from selections. No one knows what happened or how to fix this problem, maybe a setting I accidentally hit? Thanks for your suggestions! :))

    Look at the options of quick selection - particularly the four icons on the left.

  • Why the 'Quick Selection' tool works so slowly? -CC Photoshop in Windows 7

    Whenever I try to use the quick selection tool, it REALLY takes a lot of time to choose. I got CS5 and it was super fast, even with large RAW files. Now with CC, it takes at least 20 minutes to choose one in a photo.

    I tried "resetting" the tool - that didn't work at all.

    Help, please!

    Hey! I had the SAME problem... solved in 30 minutes because I had put the CC on my laptop and the quick selection tool is fast, but on my desk of mega-fast (16 GB, 4.2 Ghz, blah, blah) Photoshop CC was by DRAG the BUTTOCKS.
    The difference is that I have loaded the Office from scratch. The laptop has prviously CS5 and copied PS Édition/préférences/Performance settings that existed in CS5. ... It was the section history & Cache. "Large, flat" for the 1024 K cache sizeaffect and it States cache the value 6. I supported up to 4... EH whatever

    You are welcomed
    (I was about to uninstall the CC PS! It's all good now... BTW - I have even torn from the Nvidia GTS450 thinking it was a driver problem, but there was no difference with the i5 Intel HD Haswell 4th gen... integrated graphics card then, don't do this!)

    [redacted] I just did some experiments, 8 levels with a small cache size works too... so, just get out the 2 levels of 128 k if it is what you are willing to. I'm Big and flat which is 6 levels / 1024K.

  • Combine the quick selection with Lasso?

    The quick selection tool is much less by selecting the irregular shape of the objects with well-defined borders, and the dialog box refine edge is good at making small adjustments, important border 'soft' complex as the hair of the person. But what I usually do is to isolate a figure who has good contrast against some, but not all of his background. Imagine a person in a beige shirt partially standing under a dark green Bush in part with an ochre House. The QST will be great for the Bush, but there always explodes the selection at home or cut the man's arm. And I did not understand how the selection box refine helps me around that.

    Is it possible to get more or less choice, I want and then using the plain old lasso tool to add or subtract more fine manual selection?

    I wrote the Opt/Alt to subtract.

    Shift = add

    Opt/Alt = subtract

    Shift + Opt/Alt = intersect

  • Tolerance of the Quick Selection tool

    I was wondering if there is a way to select the tolerance for quick selection tool - like option for the magic wand tolerance.  Too often, I find that the Quick Selection selects too, so...

    The logic of the quick selection tool is quite different from the magic wand tolerance digital option probably does not apply, but there is a way to make it less select. Do you know the Option key thing? If clicking on the selected too quick Selection tool, Option-click on the tool Quick Selection on areas declined. Who teaches the Quick Selection tool does not select again similar areas. Having done this, the next time that you click the quick selection tool, it should be more accurate. Clicking turns the desired areas and Option-click on the areas that you don't want, gradually refine you your selection until you get the selection that you like. Then, you can use the refine edge to tune in to the edge.

    In other words, instead of juggling with figures of tolerance, you can learn the tool by clicking on.

  • Why when you use quick selection...?

    Hello

    Thanks for watching. I was trying to understand why I need to save and export and re-import them to complete or finish my work? When I use the quick selection tool, erase most of the background (since it's my task at hand) I can't go to the gum and end things in detail. The quick selection tool is active? I tried to click on "out of the work area. Press ENTER. My will is so far as mentioned above. Export as Tiff, re - import and then finish with my Eraser tool.

    Anyone?

    There is a selection, tools (such as the eraser) and many commands and filters only works inside the selection. Press Cmd / Ctrl + D to deselect and then Tools will work everywhere.

  • Why is the quick selection tool all edges in stairs?

    My Photoshop elements quick selection tool is ideal to say to select an element, a shirt, and then I copy it and paste it on a new page with a white background, thus eliminating the background I had before.  The only thing is that it makes the edges of the element the serrated and so I have to go with the Eraser tool and smooth everything out.  It is not easy because my hand is not otherwise stable.  It is also very hard on my eyes.  I already had to get new glasses.   The original image, a shirt, for example, has a delimitation net all around him.  How can I copy it so that when I paste on a new background, it remains strong and I don't have to spend ages, sometimes half an hour or more, try to smooth out the edges?  Thank you.

    Once you have made your choice, go up to the options bar and refine edge to smooth the edges (give him a feather a pixel or two, for example).
