Marquee Tool Shifting Tracks after reopening

I was cleaning up my tracks by using the marquee tool to select and then deleted parts of regions (mostly comps). Everything was fine until I reopen the session today and everything inside the comp has shifted over except the first take. Seems like a pretty bad bug, which I am able to reproduce on other sessions as well, anyone else experiencing this?

Hey, -b,
This problem most likely has the same solution as your other region wandering problem. You need to set your region anchors to a specific place in the timeline. You should do this after you do all your comping, editing or what have you. Align the anchor to the most logical place, and be sure to audition for timing, etc. More info on this can be found at <www.macprovideo.com> where there are free demo tutorials. Just look for Logic 8 101 in the free tutorials section.

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.

Global Chord Track and Marquee Tool

Hi there,
I wanted to select some Chords on the global chord track, but the marquee tool doesn't seem to work here. When i click & drag (with the marquee tool, of course!), no marquee will draw, but the first chord that i touch is selected and pulled away from it's position.
I consider this a bug, but maybe it's a feature - can somebody help me?

Bump.
No ideas, anyone?

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....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew6WEBU9dK4&feature=related
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??????

Marquee tool problem

I've been searching message boards and google alike for tips on drum quantizing. One method has you highlight your drum tracks after grouping them and then using the marquee to tab to each transient, and split by locator to separate out the transients. For some reason when doing this my split by locator icon and key command both don't work. The computer just beeps when I try to use it. I havent read anywhere of anybody having this problem before so I am stumped on what to do exactly. Anyone have any advice?

Don't use the Marquee Tool; try using the Ellipse Tool set to "Paths".
Don't forget strokes in Photoshop are made of pixels and will never look like a line of similar weight drawn as a vector.

When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session.

When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session. However, after several hours and opening and closings of Firefox, it will open tabs from the old session, for no apparent reason.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Marquee tool doesn't work if there aren't regions..

I'd like to remove a portion of a song just using marquee tool with "Shuffle L" Drag option so that all subsequent material of the song is pushed to the left. I would make this on all tracks but in that point some tracks haven't sequences or regions, so in those tracks the subsequent regions remian unaltered. Is there a workaround to this?

Rectangler marquee tool seems to be feathering my selection ?

Hi everybody
I have selected some content, that is 100% solid colour and no Alpha, in my image with Rectangler Marquee Tool (with feather set to 0px). I want open this content in a new window so i ctrl-c or ctrl-shift-c, then make new document ctrl-n and paste it in. When I zoom in, 1 pixel on the left and right sides are partially transparent.
I'd very much appreciate some clarity on this as it has brought my web-design to a halt
Regards
Thomas

Uncheck the Anti-Aliasing setting. This setting helps reduce jagged edges, but essentially feathers the selection at the edges.

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?]

Marquee tool error!

When I release my mouse after using any marquee tool, the layer vanishes..all I see is the gray of the workspace. The layer is still visable in the layers window. No matter how much I enlarge ot reduce the view..it's just gone.
Help! I can't use photoshop without a basic marquee tool!
Using CS6 Extanded on a brand new PC made for doing graphics on..running Windows 7 64 bit.
Any help would be appreciated!

Sounds like a video card error ... ?

While using marquee tool to cut and past section to new layer, outline stays transparent

Hello,
I am testing the trial version of Photoshop CS5.5 and I am experiencing a weird issue while using the marquee tool while selecting a portion of an image, cutting that section and pasting it to a new layer.
First off I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 2.8Ghz Dual Core Processor, 4 Gigs Memory, 2 Gig Video card and current on updates with a fresh vanilla install of CS5.5. Not filters or plugin installed.
Step by step of issue is as follows,
I take an image on layer 1 and while using the marquee tool select and area on that image. I want to cut and Past In Place that selection on a new layer, layer 3.
This will allow me to insert another layer, layer 2, in between layer 1 and layer 3 and show what ever I place on layer 2 but still have a complete background if the image does not fill the entire transparent section.
A good example is a wanted poster. You have your picture frame with the Wanted letters and reward. In the center you have a transparent square. In the back you have a black background. In between the frame and the background you place a face. The face will not fill the entire sqaure so you will see some of the black back ground.
Now the problem appears to be that the dotted line of the marquee selection makes so you can see your selection stays transparent or deletes the ares directly unter it when you cut and past to a new layer. The transparent outline looks to be the same size of the dotted line when that selection is selected. I have looked and searched for this promblem and resolution but can not see one.
The picture below is the result after I deselect the area. You can see just above another section that I tried to cover up but did not get it all.
This is driving me nuts and I just can not figure out what is causing this behavior. If I try and stretch the section, it skews the contents out of proportion.
An suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated!
Marquee Selection, Animated Lines Cut And Past In Place And Selection Deselected
Thanks

Instead of cut, one way is to duplicate the layer and add a layer mask from the selection. Alt click on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel to add a Layer Mask>Hide Selection.
Then you can put a layer in the middle.
The reason your seeing what's in your screenshot is the selection is anti-aliased,

Moving the Elliptical Marquee Tool

Hi. Really hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with the elliptical marquee tool. Having selected this tool and drawn an oval shape on my image, I know I should be able to move the oval image around the screen, using the keyboard arrows (I think), until it frames the part of the image I want framed. However, the keyboard arrows are not working for me in order to shift the oval around. When I press the keyboard arrows, I can see my cursor moving through the Photo Effects icons on the right of the Editor window (Elements 6 version). Does anyone know how I can make sure that the keyboard arrows move the oval around or does anyone know any other way of making the oval move around the image?
Thanks very much

Thanks so much Terri for all your help. IT NOW WORKS!! HURRAH!!
All I did was re-create the preferences file manually then went back in and tried moving the elliptical marquee tool around using the keyboard arrows and it worked fine. Unfortunately, the Ctrl+Alt+Shift still does not work but at least I now know the manual way of re-creating the preference file.
In terms of the other questions you asked:
1. My shortcut key was already set to none.
2. No other keys have been acting up but bear in mind that I have only been using PSE6 for the last 7 weeks as part of my Open University course in the UK so not likely to have encountered much yet.
3. No other programs are causing any problems that I am aware of although I don't use shortcut keys that often apart from ctrl+V and ctrl+C and a few others.
4. I don't have a Logitech mouse so this wouldn't be causing any issues.
Thanks again for all your help.

Single row/column marquee tool "add to" not working

I was trying to follow along with a tutorial that was using the single row/column marquee tool. In it they used shift click to add to the selection. It's not working for me. I also tried clicking on the add to icon for the marquee tool, and it still doesn't work. Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I might fix it?
Thanks!

hey i know this is late but if its any help now all u need to do i zoom in a lil closer the proceed with the selection. hope i helped. oh and u have to make sure your grid lines are perfectly on the 10,20,30,... percent mark and u have to be zoomed in if u want to see your lines. the problem is your file is too big and has somn to do with ur computer. its not only mac windows too.
p.s. when ur done drawing the boxes u can zoom out...i know the tutorial

Different measurements between ruler tool and marquee tool?

I'm using Photoshop Extended CS 5
Why are there two different measurements?
I positioned guides on an image for measuring purposes. I have Snap to Guides on. I used the Ruler Tool snapping to one guide and I extended a straight line to the other guide (Shift key pressed). The Ruler Tool read 712 pixels.
I then used the Marquee tool to snap to the guides and it read 720 pixels.
Which one do I believe?

raylaur wrote:

Where? In the Info panel? If so, did you read the W (width), and not the X (horizontal pixel position)?
I just did what you said and got consistent measurements.

Why round corners when I use marquee tool?

I use Photoshop 7.0, but hope someone can help me even though it's old.
I use the marquee tool frequently. It always used to have straight corners, but the past week it has started to automatically do round corners. I haven't changed any settings. Why does this happen?
I can mention that I use InDesign CS2. I have worked a lot with rectangles with round corners there recently, but every time changed the corners manually. After a couple of weeks though the program started to automatically change every rectangle to round corners. I didn't know how to change this, but after a couple of weeks it went back to straight corners automatically.
I use Windows Vista. Initially there was some problems to make it go with Photoshop and InDesign, but now it works fine most of the time.

Thank you, that was it! So easy!
Amazing though that when I called the Swedish support, the guy just laughed because of my old version and said he was unable to help.. I explained my problem anyway, since I thought it can't be that different between versions, but NO. He was not interested in helping me.. Makes me wonder how some people can keep their jobs..
It's because of him that we are here!
We are the real support!
