Editing Drums using the marquee tool

I am so frustrated w logic 9 right now, i strongly dislike flex and i am trying to use the "tab to next transient" method in protools to edit a multitrack drum recording that needs tightening up. This is where logic is a toy made by a toy shop for me as apposed to a professional tool.
In logic 8 there was a way to use the marquee tool and cut up the transients then apply quantize to your groove to tighten things up. heres what happens now, after i select the files with the marquee and make the cut i cannot move to the next transient as the marquee highliter goes away and i have to start again to get to the next transient. this makes this process sooooooo tedious as i have to go back to the beginning of the track and right arrow over what i have done to get to the next transient. I tried reading up on the functions of this tool as its not something i use in every project, but relying on the manual is like getting a pamphlet on how to fly a rocket ship and then fastening your seat belt.

this is what i was doing before....

only after you make a cut with the marquee tool you loose your spot with the highliter and have to select and restart to get to the next transient....if i could make a cut and go to the next one i would finally accomplish what im trying to do. is this not possible in logic 9??????

  • Photoshop lags when i use the marquee tool

    I recently updates to Photoshop CC (2014) and ever since I did I have been having problems with lag when using the Marquee tool. I have tried reinstalling Photoshop and even downgrading back to CC but it doesn't help. Does anyone know what causes this?

  • When I use the marquee tool the photo starts flashing on and off?

    Hi when I am using the marquee tool the photo keeps flashing on and off and turning black?

    I am not sure what you are asking, or about what Adobe software.
    This is the Adobe Reader forum; Adobe Reader does not handle images.

  • Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

    In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
    When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection.  The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor.  Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box?  It is driving me bonkers.

    Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"

  • Why does my screen keep flashing and then turn black when I use the marquee tool?

    When I bring up a photo to work on and i try to draw circle or square with the Marquee tool my screen flashes black and then stays black until I use the move tool?

    This issue is associated with your graphics driver not being compatible with PS' hardware acceleration. Updating the driver if possible would be advisable, otherwise turn off OpenGL drawing under Preferences --> Performance.

  • Using the Marquee tool

    Is there any way to change (increase or decrease) the size of a marquee selection once the drag is released without starting over?

    Draw a vector shape over the part of the image you want to copy, and then click on the original image and choose Edit > Copy. Click on the vector shape and choose Edit > Paste Inside. You will be able to unlick the mask group you just created to change he vector shape, thereby exposing more or less of the image without distorting it.

  • Using the fill option with the marquee tool in PS CS4

    Using the marquee tool in PS CS4 for Windows XP, i can't seem to figure out what all the icons mean--and I'm thinking that SOMEWHERE there must be some files where all these many tool panels and options panels are schematically described for the public? I'm trying to figure out how to put in a fill when I make a circle on a layer. The way of doing it in CS3 seems to have changed, but I can't figure out how as when I hover over the icons, PS doesn't give me any help in identifying them, even though I have "show tool tips" selected in the preferences. Thanks so much for your help.

    A way to do this with great flexibility is to make your Selection and then use Shift Delete and choose what you wish to fill with from the choices in the subsequent dialog.
    [I imagine that it works the same way in Windows?]

  • Photoshop crashes when I use the marquis tool.

    Photoshop crashes when I use the marquee tool. As soon as I make a selection it crashes my computer (every time!) by either rendering the screen black or sometimes all white. I have to force shut down and restart. I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS6. I am not in a position to update OS at this time. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem? It's extremely time-consuming and infuriating.
    Here's the crash report, if anyone is able to make sense of this, I'd sure appreciate knowing what the problem is.

    That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver).  Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
    Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
    Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape.  Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

  • Blurred lines when using the stroke tool

    Im trying to draw frames with feathered corners using strokes, its supposed to be a solid black line 2px thick it works sometimes but not others. What I end up with is a blurred edge, almost like it's using a spray which is not at all what I want, have tried changing various settings but its still the same.
    Anyone any ideas please? It's driving me mad..
    Thanks!

    Yes, I was using the marquee tool to create the rectangular shapes then using the stroke tool. I took feathered setting off and that resolved the problem.
    But...
    How do I create rectangular shapres with rounded edges, then use the stroke tool?
    I've changed the colour settings so it's not being 'filled' but when I try to use stroke it's now greyed out.
    All I am trying to achieve is a rectangular shape with rounded edges with a black outline.
    I thought it would be simple ;)

    We don't know whether this tutorial was written for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, more specifically for which version of PSE. There are differences. Be sure to have the layers palette open.
    Try this instead
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.
    To unlock the background layer, double click on it in the layers palette. Perhaps your tutorial will  guide you through the process.

  • Problems with layers and the marquee tool

    Hello all,
    All I am trying to do is figure out how to use the marquee tool to delete the bottom 2/3rds of a rounded rectangle.
    Here's what I am doing:
    Clicking on the rounded rectangle and drawing it to the size I want
    selecting the marquee tool and selecting the area of the rounded rectangle I want to delete.
    After I selected the area with the marquee tool, I press delete and instead of the area I selected being deleted, the whole layer is deleted instead. Does anybody have any idea what I am talking about, and can anybody help me?
    Thanks

    you are making shape layers with the Rounded Rectangle Tool by default, change it to fill pixels(in the Options bar), make a new layer on which to draw your rounded rectangle and then use the Marquee Tool to select and delete a part of it. Another option is to leave it set to shape layers, select the area you want to hide with the Marquee Tool and then Alt+click on the Add Layer Mask icon at the botom of the Layers panel (or in the Masks panel)

    I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

    At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
    When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
    - If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
    - If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

    Adobe flash CS6 crashes when using the type tool or Editing word all the time... please help!

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The standard answer with all text issues simply is, that you have a "bad font" on your system and need to get rid of it.

    Hi,
    I'm using 10.0.7. It's like snapping won't turn off. Instead ,if i use the keyboard to nudge the clips, there's no problem. I am using that at the moment.
    1. when i try to drag
    2. when i nudge:
    3. snapping is off.
    Thanks,
    Mircea

  • Editing using the balde tool

    Guys i have always edited using the blade tool which divides the timeline up into chunks..which is fine normally but is there a way that you can glue the timeline back together again? (ie like Logic)
    Cheers in advance

    See Denis' post above. do your edit, nest the sequence and apply the effects.
    The only trouble with applying blanket effects to a nest is that you cannot then adjust any one shot unless you razorblade it apart from the rest, totally negating the idea of nesting.
    You could, conversely, apply the desired filters to the first clip, adjust to taste, then copy/paste attributes>filters to everything else. That way you could tweak individual shots. much more better.
