  • Polygonal Lasso Tool and White menus bug in Mavericks - help!

    After installing Mavericks I´m having so much trouble with the lasso tool and white menus in photoshop that it is really breaking my production speed and causing a lot of problems for me.
    Especially the Polygonal Lasso Tool, how its auto completing when painting with a tablet.
    Sadly I´ve upgraded to Mavericks, and I wish I never did that. Because these problems never occured in Mountain Lion. I´ve tried going back 3-4 steps on the tablet drivers - but no luck. I tried reinstalling photoshop and I´ve tried pretty much anything I can think of but nothing helps. I deperately need to fix this and I have a long line of architectural illustrations coming up and it takes me a lot more time working with masks if I cant do it with a tablet...
    I hope Adobe reads this! But if there´s anyone with a similar problem that has found a workaround or something I can do to fix this, please help!

    Yes, 3 MAJOR problems which bugs the hell out of me.
    -The white menus (which I assume Adobe is going to fix, since its a very common problem and it has gotten a lot of complaints)
    -The polygonal Lasso tool (which Adobe has not responded to at all ) and I assume its something everyone with a wacom struggle with in Mavericks, but not everyone is that dependent on this tool, which we haven´t seen more complaints.
    -The keyboard doesn´t always respond to a keystroke, and you have to do a left click for it to start reacting again. (which I also assume is something everyone with Mavericks is experiencing, but you need to use the keyboard a lot to notice it.
    But why Adobe hasn´t given a single reply to the threads (except those about the white menus) about these problems baffles me I guess if they don´t know of a quick fix, it´s better to ignore it entirely. I´m considering every day if I should take the time to revert back to Mountain Lion - though that isn´t exactly a tempting solution. It´s weird how Mavericks can create that many bugs to Photoshop and why there´s not any info on any bug fix updates in the near future. I´m paying a lot of money for this software. I should get better customer care for this. ...sorry for ranting, but it´s making me more frustrated every day.

  • Where can i find the magnetic lasso tool in adobe photoshop touch? i used it all the time before but suddenly cant find it please help

    i started my photoshop touch after some while and now i cant find the magnetic lasso tool it used to be there i used it all the time for editting but now i cant find it maybe i disabled it somehow. can anyone tell how to enable it again?

    I honestly don't remember a magnetic lasso tool. (I've been using PS Touch since version 1.0.) The closest things I can think of are the Quick Selection Tool, the Scribble Selection Tool and the Magic Wand Tool, all located under the same set of tools (3rd set from the top in the tool panel).

  • Hey guys, I'm having trouble matching the colour of the image back ground (white) with the pre-set colour selection. is there a tool that can help me? thanks

    hey guys, I'm having trouble matching the colour of the image back ground (white) with the pre-set colour selection. is there a tool that can help me? thanks

    Your description of the problem is not quite clear so I made certain assumptions. I hope I am rigtht. I believe you have a color patch such as this:
    that you would like to place in an image area that has modeling in its white background. You do not want to lay in a flat color but rather to add a color and not lose the modeling or other background tone. The problem is, after making the selection, if you use Edit > Fill and set the Blending mode to Color, the white background remains white. The only colored background area may be an object's shadow or some similar area that is not pure white. (Image 2) It is an unsatisfactory result.
    If that is an accurate description of the problem, consider this:
    Image 1: The original image
    Image 2: Edit > Fill with the Blending mode set to Color. White remains white
    Image 3: Mode changed to Lab Color. Edit > Fill with the Blending Mode set to Color. Then return to RGB.
    (I would not normally use this green as a replacement color but since it is a Tiffany clock, I chose a light version of Tiffany's trademark color.)

  • FEATURE REQUEST: Lasso Tool to help organize code into separate VI's

    Sometimes VI's can end up growing out of hand, and it is not so easy to re-organize sections of a VI into a separate VI.
    It would be fantastic if there was a tool we could use to select a portion of our code inside of a VI (see Lasso tool in Photoshop or Free From Select in MSPaint), and have LabVIEW automatically move that code into a new VI with automatic assignment of inputs and outputs. All that code can then be replaced by a single VI.
    This would make code organization so much faster and easier.
    What do you think?

    For the most part, it's already in LabVIEW.  If you select code in your VI and go to Edit->Create SubVI, LabVIEW will take the slected code and create a subVI and automatically replace the selected code with the subVI.
    The only thing it doesn't have is the lasso selection.  You have rectangular selection and can keep addeding to the selecting using the SHIFT key.
    You should post ideas to the Idea Exchange, too BTW.

  • Lasso tool not working at all. Please help!

    Hi Community. I just started the CC version of Illustrator and the lasso tools isn't working. I am able to select the tool and draw an outline with it, but nothing is selected when I make a closed loop. I cannot select anything in any way with the lasso tool. I have made sure that I am circling strokes that are on the active layer. Please help!! I'm currently stuck in my project as a result.
    -A

    What OS do you have, have you updated to thte latest  dot verison eg: 10.9.1?
    Reset your Illustrator preferences? Try making a new documnet really simple, to see if this happens on all documennts.

  • Photoshop Help | Selecting with the lasso tools

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/selecting-lasso-tools.html

    In Photoshop CS5 I was able to use the magnetic lasso, select a section from a photo and drag and drop the selection either in another Pshop or Illustrator doc. Now in Photoshop CS6 when I use the Magnetic Lasso and select an area of a picture, I get a bounding box with a white background that is coming with the selection.I am not getting just what I selected. Do I have something set up wrong, can someone please help with? Thank you....

  • Need Help With Lasso Tool..........Plz

    Hi  I am doing a business card layout and I have an image to place into my document which will be placed on a gradient pattern.  I need to use the lasso tool on the image to place it into my document.  However, the lasso tool is picking up too many jagged lines from the image.  When I place the image in my document you can see the jagged edges on the outline.  How can I correct the image to not have jagged edges on the outline.  I have tried everything.  Thanks.

    Go to File>new>blank file. Duplicate the background layer, and apply the gradient.
    Open the car picture file, select the car using one of the selection tools, go to Edit>copy to place it on the clipboard
    Go back to the gradient file, go to Edit>paste. The car will be on its own layer
    Access the move tool, position the car and resize using the corner handles of the bounding box

    This screen shot shows 2 boats on a complex background - see red arrow pointing to the photo bin.
    These were selected and placed via the recipe above. The layers are included for your reference.
    To make the subject blend into the background so that it does not look fake (as it does here), make Layer 1 active. Press CTRL on the keyboard and left click on the layer thumbnail..Go to Select>refine edge and adjust feather to suit.

  • Polygonal lasso tool not working with stylus on Surface Pro 2

    Hi guys,
    I'm new here so please bare with me if I'm posting in the wrong place or don't make immediate sense.
    Hardeware / software used: surface pro 2 and I'm running photoshop CS5.
    Problem is a fairly basic one: I am trying to make basic selections using the polygonal lasso tool (using the stylus that comes with the tablet) but it simply will not work. All I get when I touch the stylus to the screen is the circle that appears then fades. If I attach the keypad and try using that then it works no problem at all.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to whether there is a particular setting that I need to switch on or off e.g. something relating to pressure sensitivity (although not sure why this would affect this particular selection tool)?
    I've searched the web and come up with nothing so far so any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks for your time
    Scott

    same problem on surface pro 3 !!!!
    and i think quite significant, for lot of artists using polygonal lasso a lot (including me). How come that the stupid surface cannot work properly

  • Polygonal Lasso Tool problem report

    Hi, After I have updated my MAC OS X Mavericks this morning my Polygonal Lasso tool started to work funny, it jumps and auto closes, I can't use it anymore. Before that I never had any problem with the polygonal lasso tool and was able to cut any shape with it. I tried to updated my photoshop to the latest version but it didnt help. Any idea if this has something to do with the latest OS X? If so, is there anything I can do to get my polygonal lasso tool work again? Thanks!

    I was having the same issue and I just installed the plug-in which seems to have solved the problem.
    In Photoshop CC on a brand new iMac running OS 10.9.2, the polygon lasso tool wasn't responding properly and when using brushes the program would randomly freeze. These were only a problem when I was using my Wacom Intous 4 tablet, when using the standard Apple mouse the brushes and lasso worked fine. Both issues seem to be ok after installing the plug-in and the tablet seems to be working ok. Thanks Adobe

  • Hand tool in preview (in mountain lion)?

    I'm missing the hand tool in preview. Is it completely gone or is there any chance to get it back?

    I use a Wacom tablet with Maverick, and not sure if this will help you all but you may find a similar fix.
    I solved the hand tool / panning issue by going to the System Preferences. On my Wacom prefs, there is an area called "Application". There you must click the " + " button to add the Preview app. After the Preview icon is visible, select it, and then choose "pan/scroll" or similar modifier for one of your pen/mouse buttons.
    My Wacom Tablet button for panning with this setting does not work unless I also hold down the "option" button. So it's new programed button + option.
    This is all so specific.

  • Lasso tool problem, using alt key, no click within 5sec causes loss of active window focus

    I have been using Photoshop since ver. 4 and have never seen this happen.  The only difference is now I'm on Windows 7 64bit.  Did not have this problem with XP.  Current version CS3 Extended.
    Problem: While using Lasso tool with the alt key if I do not make a mouse click in 5 seconds Photoshop's active window loses focus for a split second and then the first point of my selection and the last point will connect.  Thus, wasting my time and my attempt at a selection.
    I have task bar buttons to "Never combine".  I see for that split second what appears to be another program button opening but it is so fast that I cannot see if there is a name on the task bar button.  The current Photoshop button moves to the right and back too fast.  This all happens very quickly as the window loses focus.
    I first thought it was some another program but after many searches found nothing I can identify as the cause.
    Right before posting this I had a thought and did a test that concluded in the 5 sec rule. For over a minute I held down the alt key and made a mouse click within the 5 second window of time and there was no loss of window focus.  While still holding down the alt key in this same test but not making a mouse click within 5 seconds the window lost focus and the tool stopped with my selection.
    I have a wireless Logitech M305 mouse that this morning updated the driver to its current version 5.20.51, Control Center version: 6.20.50.
    I have not tested a wired mouse, yet.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Anyone else seen this?  Windows 7 64 bit the culprit?????

    UPDATE
    After I removed Photoshop from Norton 360's Administrative Settings_Silent Mode Settings_User-Specified Programs, I did not have the problem with the lasso tool that I first had with loss of window focus.  I then put Photoshop back in the 360's settings and the lasso tool still worked, BUT...............
    After a couple of days of not using Photoshop and turning computer on and off in that time, I tried Photoshop again and the same problem, it came back.  Loss of focus after 5 seconds of not clicking mouse.  So, once again I open Norton and took Photoshop out of the User-Specified Programs and the problem went away, no loss of focus.
    So, I will see if after a couple of days of turning on and off the computer and NOT putting Photoshop in the Norton's User-Specified Programs setting if the problem stays fixed.
    I don't have to have Photoshop in the Norton's setting I just thought that it would be a good idea so Norton didn't try to do any background processes or whatever while I was working in Photoshop or I was rendering a filter or something.
    Another thought I also have the Full Screen Detection setting ON.  I do use Photoshop in Full Screen mode so maybe when having both the Full Screen mode and User-Specified Programs setting selected it makes something go wacky.
    Hope this helps anyone having the same problem I "did".  Will post back after a few days to let you know if focus problem is gone.
    If it does relieve the problem then I will leave Photoshop off the list in Norton.  No sense in trying to fix something that really doesn't matter, really.
    UPDATE 2
    January 8, 2011, I tried the lasso tool again and it still appears to be working. I did my standard test of holding the alt key and clicking to make selections then not click for 5 seconds or more and I did not lose window focus.  I do not know why the Norton 360 setting triggers the loss of focus but since I turned that setting off I'm not having any problem.
    Will update again if something changes.
    Anyone else out there with the same problem that was solved using this method?

  • Panning scrolling is going slow and hand tool ain't working when using lasso tool.

    Hello Photoshop users,
    A couple weeks ago I bought a new PC with windows 8.1. I installed Photoshop CS 5, and it worked really well.
    The only thing that isn't working really well, is the (polygonal) lasso tool. When is use it, the scrolling/panning is very slow and the hand tool is also very slow or isn't working at all. Very annoying.
    I already called the Adobe customer service, but they don't support Photoshop CS 5 any more (what is a shame for such a expensive program)
    Do more people have this problem? Or does anyone know how I can fix this?
    I hope someone can help me.

    I just fired up Photoshop CS5 on my Win 8.1 system and the panning is quick and interactive.
    Is your new PC a desktop system?  If so, what video card do you have in it?  Have you checked the web site of the maker of that video card to see if they have an updated display driver? 
    For what it's worth, I have an ATI Radeon HD 7850 and the newest display driver (Catalyst 14.4), and like I said, Photoshop CS5 (though not the version I use much any more) appears to work just fine here.
    Another thing you can try is to go into the Performance preferences, click the [Advanced Settings...] button in the GPU Settings section, and try different Modes.  Make sure to fully close and restart Photoshop after making any changes there, so you'll be sure to be testing the new settings.
