    Stupid problem with Lasso tool - self-closes

    I'm having a ridiculous problem with the Lasso tool. I'm making a selection, and it randomly closes on me. At first I thought I mistakenly hit something on the keyboard, or clicked 2 points on my path a little too quickly, but I've since realized that it happens when I'm not touching the...

    Select half of an image as part of an action?

    Can I select and copy exactly half of an image (50% vertical selection) as part of an action? Each time I run my action it sets the selection to half of the size of the original image I made the action on, which doesn't work for me as all images are shot in different proportions. Thanks! Faye

    channel selection size changes when I select and apply layer mask

    I'll try and explain so this makes sense! I am making selections of models off of a white background. I use the quick select tool and refine to make a clean selection. I go in and use the clone tool to remove the "halo" that is still there to make a super clean selection with no light bleed...

    Path editing problems in CS6

    When I need to 'wrap' text, I create a shape path using, usually, the rectangle tool in path mode and then when I select the type tool and hover over the inside of the rectangle, I can add the text which fits into the rectangle and wraps. Later, I can go back to the shape tool in path mode and...

    Question about differences in transfering masks to selection and back

    Hello, I considered posting this in the newbies section, since I am sure it will be trivial for some, so please feel free to move it there if you think it should be there. But please explain me what I try to figure for a long time. I make layer mask which is a bit fuzzy, so it merges...

    Hi! In the above photo I need to change the hair color. I have searched and watched many PS tutorials on complex hair selection. None of them have been able to help me find the best way to select all the hair, even the wispy strands to change the color. I was hoping maybe someone would be...

    Modify a selection without moving the image

    Hi I'm sure this is so basic but I can't think how to do it. When selecting an area I would like to modify/transform/reshape just that selection (the marching ants) without moving the underlying image. How do I do that?

    Always get a light coloured halo around my selection.
