Cannot find the Quick Selection Tool (previously paired with the magic wand tool) on Illustrator CC (newest version installed on October 14, 2014)

I have just installed a new version of Illustrator CC and CS6 on October 14, 2014 and I couldn't find the Quick Selection Tool on this version, previously this tool is located with the magic wand tool

I don't remember a quick selection tool in Illustrator. Are you sure this was in Illustrator?

  • HT204387 When trying to add text notifications on my iphone 5 Through my Ford sync all pages tell me to open settings, click on the sync when it is pair with the car and there should be a Turn on Notifications slide but there is not.  Please help.

    I heard that Ford Sync now allows the user to have text message notifications appear on the dash board.  I have looked up how to do so, the instructions say on our phone click on settings-Bluetooth-when paired with the sync click on sync and there should be a slide option that says turn notifications on.  I am using an Iphone 5 with the latest operating system and I do not have a Turn notifications on stting in my bluetooth.  Please help

    Resetting Network Settings means that the saved password that enabled your iPhone to connect to your WiFi router was erased. You are now reentering that password. Most likely you are entering the password incorrectly or are entering an old password or the wrong password.
    Check that the password that you are using is absolutely, positively, the correct and current password for your router. Make sure that you are not confused l with 1, O with 0, etc.

  • What is wrong with my magic wand tool?

    I just started loading up photoshop to crop a picture and my magic wand tool has gone all funny.  i don't know why but instead of cropping all the white back ground it does this http://imgur.com/oDTxXyK
    someone please help me!

    Look at the tool options. You set the tolerance to 200, so it's going to select just about everything...
    Also, "crop" is not the right word there.  I think you meant "select".

  • Coloring issues with magic wand tool and paint bucket tool, leaves uncolored areas near drawn lines

    Photoshop CS6 doesn't color properly.  Whetever I use brush tool or elliptical marquee tool to do the lines (with brush tool I use Hard Round, not soft), it doesn't color the whole area when i fill them with color. This happens with both magic wand tool AND paint bucket tool, there is always a small uncolored area near the lines. I have tolerance on 30,  and anti-alias, contiguous and sample all layers boxes checked. (this setting worked on my old CS3) I have tried tolerance from 0 to 100, no difference. I have also tried unchecking the boxes I just mentioned, still no difference. I hope there is a solution for this, because it is tedious to always go to the Select - Modify - Expand every time I need to color some area. So how do I fix this problem? I use seperate layers for lines and colors, like I have always done with other Photoshop versions. Even in school where they have CS5 those normal settings work.

    Hello Chris,
    I don't think this is a "user error". I think Adobe should be able to program a state of the art paint bucket, which is capable to get this done right.
    Other applications are able to get this done right.
    Please don't fall into a programmer's ignorance ("this is done right by definition") but listen to us artists and improve this unintuitive behavior. Add something like "ignore transparent pixels", because this doesn't even work if you draw on an empty layer.
    Thank you!

  • How do you change the minus symbol on the quick selection tool to a plus symbol? im finding it difficult to select an area.

    how do you change the minus symbol on the quick selection tool to a plus symbol? im finding it difficult to select an area.

    You can use the Alt/Option key to toggle between add + and subtract -

    First though select the Add to Selection in the tool options bar for that to work.

  • The quick selection tool is freezing Photoshop CC.

    Anyone else had this problem? Everything else seems to work fine but when I try to use the quick selection tool, Photoshop freezes and I have to shut it down. I can't find much online about this.
    I'm on a Mac
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)

    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

  • Why is the "Quick Selection Tool" working so slowly? - Photoshop CC in Windows 7

    Every time I try to use the Quick selection tool, it takes a REALLY long time to select. I had CS5 and it was super fast, even with large RAW files. Now with CC, it takes at least 20 minutes to select a person out of a photo.
    I already tried "resetting" the tool - that did not work at all.
    Please help!

    I mentioned working on my laptop without GPU acceleration, and how much it slowed everything down, but Quick Select was still laggy after the driver updated and GPU acceleration restored.  This is a reasonable laptop with i7, 16Gb and GTX680. Thankfully, I got my main system back yesterday, and Quick select is pretty much instant.
    But there shouldn't be that much difference.  The big box has six core running at 4.2Ghz (under load) 32GB and GTX570, so while it is certainly more powerful, the difference in performance in respect to Quick Select is not proportional.   I've just tried reducing cache levels on the big box from the '6' it usually runs at right down to 2, but it still responds instantly even with large files.  I have GPU set to Advanced, and tile size to 128 on both systems.
    Another odd thing is that I only have 1GB vRAM with the GTX570, where the GTX680 has 4Gb of faster vRAM.  But maybe Quick select is not a big user of GPU acceleration. 
    So no real help I am afraid.  I have looked through the GPU FAQ, but nothing helpful there. OK,  I have just found a more detailed article on GPU acceleration, and it mentions a lot of features, but not Quick Select, so it could be that GPU is irrelevant.   The laptop is Windows 8.1 as opposed win 7 for the big box, if that makes a difference.  Can you correlate anything between our systems?  I hate to post this without any suggestions, but I'm stumped. 
    There are tricks to aid Quick select. 
    Make a copy of the layer, and apply Curves and/or Levels directly to the layer, and try to increase contrast between the subject and background.  Use this layer to make the selection, then switch back to the normal layer to use the selection.
    I don’t know if this will work as I have just thought of it.  Copy the layer, and Free Transform it to a smaller size.  It will be image dependant, but Quick Select is much faster with images below about 1500 pixels wide. Use Quick select on the smaller image layer, and copy the selection to a new layer. FT it back up to size, and it should fit.  This would only be useful if you are going to use Refine Edge right after, and will have obvious limitations.
    Make sure you report back if you find a solution.

  • I'm trying to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop Elements 12 but it keeps getting stuck on minus.  How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop Elements 12 but it keeps getting stuck on minus.  I've reinstalled twice and it will work for a little while and then get stuck again.  When I select something, I have one shot at it and as soon as I let go of the mouse it switches to minus and I can't add anything else.  How do I fix this?

    When a tool misbehaves, go over to the far upper right corner of the tool options area and click the four-lined square. Choose Reset Tool from the popout menu.

  • When I use the quick selection tool in Photoshop CS6 my monitor flickers

    When I use the quick selection tool my monitor starts flickering what do I need to change in my set up.

  • Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?

    Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?
    I can deselect it with the magic wand but not with the quick selection. Any ideas?
    thanks,
    Dominik

    I don't think you can, but in the refine edge dialog you can use the contrast setting to get rid of most of the anti-alias.

    I have a comment.  I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool.  I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face.  This tool does not work.  It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.  How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

    It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

    Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
    The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

  • Why won't the Quick Select tool select transparent canvas.

    I remember being able to select anything on the canvas with my Quick Select tool in CS5.5 Photoshop Extended. Recently, making the switch to CC, the Quick Select tool will show my slection as I drag along the canvas, but once I release the mouse, the selection seems to be reduced to the visible pixels. I was intentionally trying to fill the transparent sections with my effects as well.
    Mind you, the magic wand will select transparent pixels just fine, but it also adds unintentional sections which is irritating. I should probably also pint out that I already looked into the "lock transparence" option in the layers, but I did not activate anything of the sort.

    I see how my question can be kind of vague, sorry about that.
    I have an image with a transparent background and a layer with, as stated below, pixels missing. With the wand, when I select a section of the layer that has no pixels, it selects every transparent section of that layer within the canvases borders. Thing is, I only wish to select a particular transparent section without touching the existing pixels. My hands are not as gifted as I would like them to be when painting a mask unless I zoom in ten-fold for every inch of the image.
    To clarify further, the Quick Select tool's marquee shows everything working as I would expect it to until I release the mouse button. Then, for a reason beyond me, the selection gets reduced to existing pixels in the layer only.
