Can't find rectangular marquee tool, etc.

I can select the Quick Selection Tool, which then presents the Quick Selection Tool and the Selecton Brush Tool options in the Tool Options bar (bottom left corner).  But nowhere is there an option for rectangular marquee tool or elliptical tool.  Please help.  (This is for Elements 12)

Hi,
You need to be in Expert Mode to see all the tools - the rectangular and elliptical marquee tools share the same place with the tools options used to select which one you want.

  • Rectangular Marquee Tool no longer moves

    Hi, I have CS2 on Windows XP. For some reason (probably operator error) I can no longer move the Rectangular Marquee Tool in a fixed size mode arond my picture. When I expand it to, for example, 8.5" x 11" it just sits there. I used to be able to expand it, then move it about the photo until I got it where I wanted to do the crop.Does anyone have any ideas what has happened? Also I notice that the crosshairs now have a little bar in the lower right quadrant when I roll my cursor on the photo. Not sure if that is significant. Thanks.

    This button enabled? See the screenshot.

  • Rectangular Marquee Tool (Short cut M)...

    I have upgraded to CS5. I cannot access to the Rectangular Marquee Tool with a short cut (M) any longer. M brings up the Eliptical Marquee Tool. Where is the Rectangular Marquee Tool? How can I access?
    Thnx

    Check the units you specified for the fixed size. My guess is that it's set to something larger than your image.
    Yes, thanks - I was just about to post a response to my own question. They were cm, rather than pixels!

  • Rectangular Marquee Tool screen artifacts

    Hi - I have a problem with Photoshop CS3 (version 10.0) on a Windows XP Professional computer. When I try to use the rectangular marquee tool to select an area of any image the selection marker leaves dotted artifacts across the parts of the images over which the selection marker has passed.
    I don't get the problem if I use any of the marquee tools and the artifacts are not actually written to the image. It's not runining the image but it is causing some problems when trying to be precise with my selections.
    Has anyone seen this problem before? I can provide screen shots if that would be of any help.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Mitch

  • Rectangular Marquee tool broken in CS5.1?

    The rectangular marquee tool no longer seems to work when choosing the "Fixed size" option. It seems to just select the entire image area regardless of what values are entered.
    This is with version CS5.1 as provided in Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.5.
    I've had no problems with this tool in other versions. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?
    I'm running OSX 10.6.7

  • Rectangular marquee tool problem

    i used 'rectangular marquee tool to select an area . then i right clicked and select "stroke"  . but i am not satisfied with the result , because its corner was slightly jagged ( when i zoom it ) . feather was set to 0 . can anyone help me plz how to fix this ?

    May I suggest stroking on the Inside of your Marquee.
    Or switching to using the Rectangle Tool.  The options for stroking a shape offer a great deal of configurability...

  • Use the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" with my mouse

    Hey.
    When I use the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" with my mouse, it is often difficult to do it accurately.
    Is there an easier way to do it than with the mouse, -  can I manually enter the size of my selection ..
    Any advice is welcome.

  • Delete area using Rectangular Marquee Tool

    Hi Sir/Mdm,
    I was wondering why I cannot delete an specific area using Rectangular Marquee Tool. I have dragged the Rectangular Marquee Tool to define an area then I hit the "Del" key on the keyboard. I was prompted with the "Fill->Contents> dialog box. Pls advise and thanks in advance.

    What do you want to accomplish by "Delete"?
    If you have a Background (no layers) then you can only fill it with pixels, as Background cannot have transparency.  You can cause a fill of the background color (as shown in the background swatch in the Tools panel) without a prompt by holding the Control key down when pressing Delete.
    The menu gives you access to a number of other useful fill options for a Background, such as Content Aware Fill.
    To make a Background into a Layer, which can support transparency, double click the Background in the Layers panel, then confirm the dialog.  Pressing Delete with a part of a non-background layer selected will simply make the selected part transparent.

  • Where can I find the equivalent tools in Photoshop that are in the develop module of Lightroom

    Friends:
    Where can I find the equivalent tools in Photoshop that are in the develop module of Lightroom?  For example I would like to use the shadow, clarity, lens correction and such tools but cannot find them in Photoshop.
    Thanks amigos
    Migs

    The obvious or not so obvious first. Depending on your knowledge. When you open a tiff, jpg, or camera' raw format they can be opened in Adobe Camera raw first which has identicle controls to lightroom's develop module.
    Starting with I beleive CS5 maybe 4, some of the tools made their way into photoshop it self. Take a look at the camera lens filter, the Image>Adjustment menu or the adjustment layers which now support vibrance for example.

  • Rectangular Marquee Tool is a solid line

    The Rectangular Marquee Tool in CS4 has started using a solid line instead of the usual dotted line. Is there some setting to revert to the dotted line somewhere, or has my software just gone haywire? Feather is 0px and Style is Normal.

  • Issues with Rectangular Marquee Tool [was: I have a question]

    The problem is with the 'rectangular marquee tool'  ... after I select a box, the tool defaults to a marquee that eliminates a portion of the first selected box.  The curser changes to show the '+' curser with an 'x' in the lower right of the cursor ... how do I get rid of this?

    It sounds like you have Intersect with selection enabled in the tool options bar instead of the default of New selection.
    Though it sounds like you want to add to the prevous selection?
    I usually just leave the default of New selection and use the following keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking on different options in the tool options bar.

  • CS3 -- I can't find the Eraser Tool

    I am new to CS3, but I'm not a total greenie in photo editing after working with Jasc & Corel over the past few years. This one is starting to make me feel stupid. Maybe I'm having a brain cramp. I see the Background Eraser Tool, but after searching high and low, I can't find the Eraser Tool. Where is the little bugger hiding???

    Click and hold (or ALT+Click) on ALL the icons in the Toolbox that show a little tiny triangle on their buttons. LOTs of grouped (some call them "hidden". I don't...) tools.
    Anywhere you see just about ANY little icon, button, arrow or tiny triangle, try clicking and/or ALT+Clicking on them to see what secrets they hold.
    Also, have a look at EVERY Menu item, and give them a try. Just don't "Save" and close your image and you will always be able to go back to your original unedited state by clicking the image at the very top of your History Palette.
    Don't forget to give the Help files a thorough scan while you're exploring, too.

  • I have a big problem, I don't know what I touched but when I open up my iTunes I can't see all the icons. The only icons showing are "podcast, iTunes U and Downloads" so in other words I can't find the movies, music etc. Which means I can't buy/rent!

    Do you have access to other music and film purchase download sites ?
