Quick Select and Quick mask feather all the time

Hi  I'm hoping someone can help or has seen this.. when I use quick mask or quick select it feathers the edge.. about two pixels.. i have reset the tool and reset the preferences for photoshop and it doesn't change.. iim not using refine edges or any effect.. everrything is off.
also..
when i apply a stroke to a path and use brush with simulate pressure, it doesn't affect the width of the stroke.
Has anyone seen these issues before??
Thank you

Good day!
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Edit: Is Auto-Enhance checked?

    Can not see my airport on the list of WiFi networks and is blinking orange all the time. Tried to reset several times.

    Do you have a Mac or idevice for setting up the Express? It does require a later utility than is available for windows.
    You might be able to setup with the v5 utility in windows but there is no guarantee.
    You should use a simple name both for the base and the wireless. eg AEXgen2 base name and AEXwifi for wireless name.. that is if you get access.

  • The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

    The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

    There are several other similar posts in this forum with the answers. Your post appears third in my Google search today looking for a solution so I thought I'd add the solution here as well.
    It is obviously a bug in either (or both) Firefox and the NYT.
    The quickest solution is to simply go to the VIEW Menu in Firefox, then the ZOOM option and choose RESET.
    I use Mac and this happens in Firefox 3.6.10. It does not happen in other browsers like Safari, Chrome and Camino, and it did not occur before last week.
    It has also occurred in the iOS version of Safari on iPad. Not sure how to fix it there.

  • PIAFUSER and PIAPPLUSER get locked all the time - where are they used?!

    Hi guys,
    well i am no basis guy but i have to do the following.
    We want to use one SLD for PROD & DEV. We chose DEV SLD to be the one!
    Therefore i followed Note 720717 in detailed way.
    Because there is mentioned i have to change sth. in Service SLD Data Supplier i did so in PROD for giving the SLD-Adress of DEV. This was looking good, i changed, saved and restarted service.
    But now the User PIAFUSER and PIAPPLUSER get locked all the time - even without trying to get SLD-Connection.
    When i do SLDCHECK we also get error:
    Calling function LCR_LIST_BUSINESS_SYSTEMS
    Retrieving data from the SLD server.
    Function call returned exception code ....4
    => Check whether the SLD is running!
    ..and it is running!
    Could someone help?! We already read post and blogs the last 4 hours but nothing helped that far!

    And we get some errors from CC also - e.g. when we want to get a file read:
    com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: Some of the IS access information is not available. SLDAcess property may be set to true, but SLD is not available.

    Hi,
    well i already re-checked all pwds again like given in Note 936093.
    Everything runs fine that far but again, the PIAFUSER gets locked, PIAPPLUSER doesn't get locked anymore - finally.
    The reason why i was coming to this error is because we need to use one SLD - i described already.
    So now we wanted to check our PROD Scenarios, running a test with a FILE-CC and got following error in CC-Monitoring:
    ERROR:com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: SLDAccess set to true, but not available.
    What could cause this error else than some stuff with pwds?!
    Any ideas?! i work 10 hours on this crap now

  • HT1338 i have some bugs on computer, how do i get them off, kids are playing games, and i get popups all the time, please help

    Is there an antivirus for the imac my kids have played some games and now I have popup's all the time.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Airplay and airfoil cut out all the time

    Whenever I stream music from my mba via either iTunes or AirFoil to my speakers the sound will cut out all the time.  If I switch the sound output in sound preferences to the airplay speakers then everything works fine and there's no cutting out.  How can this be fixed so that I don't have to change the system preferences everytime I want to play music to the airplay speakers?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Is there a way to go back to previous version of software as I don't like vers 1.1. Restoring it does not work and it turns off all the time after around 10 secs

    Is there any way to go back to prvious version  of software befoe 1.1 on ipod nano 6th generation. After update it switches off all the time after about 10 secs and I preferred it when I could listen to songs when in sleep mode without using too much battery power

    Peter,
    That was the problem. They were there, just not properly linked.  I used the one I completed in CS6 trial version (after preflight). When I exported that one and opened it in CS5 all was good.   I think I will make the upgrade as soon as I can afford it, but at least now I can make the system work for my needs. Thank you for your help!

  • Mail and Safari still freeze all the time-help

    Even with the latest Mavericks updates, Apple mail and Safari freeze contstantly to the point that I can't send email or use Safari. I had after the initial mavericks release gotten mail to function by shutting off 2 Gmail accounts I had on my MacPro. After the update that supposedly fixed the Gmail issues, I turned on my Gmail accounts and Mail started freezing almost immediately on startup. Was able to get in and shut the accounts don again, but Mail keeps freezing. I even removed the Gmail accounts from Mail prefs, but that didn't help either. I can usually get Mail to launch and for the most part can read email, but if I try to respond, once i type and email and try to send, Mail freezes and I have to force quit. Once Mail hangs Safari hangs shortly thereafter or if it's not even launched I can't launch.
    I have been using macs for a long time and have never had such a bad time with an upgrade. Have tried most of the solutions posted, and am baffled as to how to make things work.
    Any suggestions welcome.

  • Applications loading and running in background all the time

    Lately my Macbook Pro seems to be running apps in the background and installing. It makes the working noises the Macbook makes when the processors are working. Quite often when I shut it down it asks me if I want to abort installation. I keep having to manually remove 'com.wondershare.mobilegodaemon' from the Console, but it comes right back when I reboot. Mobile go is the phone android app to connect your phone to the laptop. I also recently purchased Adobe software on the cloud.
    Is there anyway to prevent apps from updating or working in the background while I work? It is annoying when I am working on a project, the laptop begins to howl and will not stop.
    Can I remove all the files from the Launch Daemon and Launch Folders in the Library folder?
    Do I have some kind of virus or infection?
    Please help! Thank you.

    You didn't do it right, it seems. For the future, follow proper uninstall procedures:
    How to uninstall software
    As for where the remaining files that didn't get removed are located, I have no idea. The fact that you are able to temporarily disable it with launchctl says at least one of them will be in one of the LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons folders on your computer, either in the root-level Library folder or the invisible one in your user folder (hold down option and choose Library from the Go menu in the Finder to open that one). However, for all I know there may be other files related to Wondershare located elsewhere as well.
    Rather than randomly hunting around for these files, I'd recommend looking for the official Wondershare uninstaller and trying that. You may need to reinstall it in order to remove it at this point, since you only have a partial install left.
    I have run Adwaremedic and I have run Mackeeper to no avail.
    AdwareMedic will not remove Wondershare, because that's not adware. AdwareMedic only removes adware.
    MacKeeper is garbage that should never be used. You need to remove that immediately! For more on why, see:

  • GT60 0NC, no GPU and fan at 100% all the time

    Hello.
    Recently after many tries to solve nvlddmkm.sys problems I've got final crash. After which my OS could not see my GPU and fan was spinning at full speed. It was after underclocking shader clock from 1240MHz to 1200MHz and opening a game. The screen froze and at the bottom of the it, there was black belt through the screen with RGB colours dots in random locations. Now after full reinstall of the OS from win7 64bit to win8.1 64bit, this all still persist.
    Any ideas would be good, as I could not see nor find any solution to this.
    My current config is:
    -MSI laptop GT60 0NC
    -NVIDIA GPU GeForce GTX 670M
    -Intel Core i7-3630QM
    -Windows 8.1 Pro N 64bit

    So to settle the fan down I would have to disable dGPU. Not just unplug it but disable it. And to do this I would probably need unlocked BIOS. Correct me if I am wrong, if not I would appreciate any leads how to do this.
    And if my dGPU is broken I can at least try the oven. And question about further actions, can i access mini PCI-e in MSI GT60 0NC in any way? To try connecting external GPU via EXP GDC Beast Laptop External Independent Video Card Dock. I do have GTX 460 from my old PC so I am just wondering.

    The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
    Throttling
    When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or low voltage readings from the battery of a MacBook, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
    ☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
    ☞ high ambient temperature
    ☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
    ☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
    Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
    If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That behavior may be normal for some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
    Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
    Installed software
    User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
    Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
    Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
    External display
    Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

  • Recently upgraded to ios6 and now I crash all the time

    Hello,
    I have a 3gs and recently upgraded to iOS6.  Started crashing frequently.  Reloaded software from scratch, which didn't help.  Then went to apple store and they updated firmware there.  Still didn't help.  Started troubleshooting myself.  Noticed that it crashed more frequently when battery below 60%.  Tried shutting off cellular data and location services, just using the iphone through my home wifi network.  That helped a lot.  Never crashed.  Then turned back on cellular data, leaving location services off, and it still helped.  Then turned location services back on and it started crashing again.  So location services seems to be the culprit.
    Any idea how to remedy?   Keeping location services off wouldn't be a huge problem for me, though I'd prefer to have it active.
    Would be nice if apple would let us downgrade as the problem started with upgraded to ios6.  From what I've read, I'm hardly the first person to say this.
    Thanks.

    You might check and see if there are any Console entries about what happened when you attempted to launch a CS 5.5 app.
    Adobe links its apps with the particular volume on which it is running, and altho' I can't recall specifics, I know in the past I have had to reset Adobe's settings after OS upgrade. I do recall that it's a fairly easy procedure; just don't exactly recall what it is.
    BTW, CS 4 runs on Mountain Lion for me.

  • How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen?  I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

    I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences.  When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears.  Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing.  I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying.  How can I fix this?  I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
    I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc.  and cannot find a way to fix this.

    Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window.  Instead, use the green + in the top left corner.  That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

  • Trackpad and Trackpoint stop working all the time

    Hi Lenovo!
    I'm loving my thinkpad tablet! Only issue I have really had so far is that the trackpad and trackpoint stop working every once in a while... (as in once a month they will suddenly stop working). Then I install a driver, they start working again, only for the same problem to turn up after some more time has gone by. Last time this happened, installing the driver didn't help, nor did doing windows restore, which was very worrisome...
    I've had this laptop for less than a year so it is still under warranty, but I was wondering if there is a quick fix?
    Much appreciated!
    Ilana

    If two different ATVs are having the same problem on the same TV, the problem could be the HDMI cable or the HDMI port on the TV.
