Quick Select Issue

When I choose quick select after I outline an object it creates squares and circles inside of the object outlined. I have no control over what is being outlined. This creates a huge problem and I have no idea why it's happening. I've watched videos and haven't seen this issue. Even if I try and de-select these areas it just deletes the whole area that I was attempting to select. What's going on?

Jeff, I updated the NVIDIA driver and QuickSelect is no longer crashing PS. Thank you very much for steering me in the right direction. I appreciate your help very much.

Photoshop 14.2 update quick selection tool issues

Hi there,
many strange and frustrating issues on selections with the quick selection tool after the last update. As you can see in the image when you release the selection the software shows strage pattern and it is impossible to manage the selections in any way. Very annoying. Could you suggest a very fast fix of this issue? Anyone has the same issues?

I'm using a MacBookPro late 2011, could be a problem with the motherboard. I noticed many late 2011 users have the same problems. So the possible solution is to restart the Mac and try to avoid the overheating. I think the Adobe update is not involved in this issue.

Free-form adjustment to "Quick Selection Tool"

Hello,
I hope this is not one of those requests were the functionality already exists and I just can't find it.
Would it be possilble to allow for a free-form, drag with pixel level presision changes to the selection already determined by the "quick selection tool" AI. Most of the time when I use the tools, it selects 95% of what I intended but never quite right. Any further addition to the selection goes way overboard and selectes way beyond my intended precision.
Thank you,
John

Hello,
The problem is when the AI determines what it thinks is the actual object but does not include the entire object. Specifically when I have a linen set that needs color adjustment to match a more true to life representation of a LCD/LED screen. Several of the images have stacked sheet sets, one on top of the other. Thet have curved edges on the vertical plane and flat on the horizonal. The AI selects most of the single object but often misses the verticle edging. When I try to add more analysis point to converge the entire object, it overestimates and grabs other sheet sets. I want to do minute additions to the edging once the AI grabs as much correctly as possible.
I hope this explains the core issue a little more.
Thanks,
John

Why is Quick Selection Tool taking forever on MACBOOK PRO

Just recently my quick selection tool is obnoxiously slow. It's driving me crazy. Nothing has changed on my computer and I optimized my preferences as in another thread regarding this issue but on a windows computer. I'm not sure what's going on but if anyone has an idea as to how to fix this, I'd appreciate it! I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1 on a 15" Macbook Pro Retina

The 'cache needs to be more than 1' thing is kind of strange. It even carries a warning on the dialog box. I can only think that a value of 1 is available for systems that can't use the GPU.

Quick selection tool problem on windows via parallels on mac book pro

Of course I am new here. I am going through lessons (Classroom in a book) and get to lesson 3 to the point of cropping the image, the quick select tool works. After cropping I get the message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error..., This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact ... Is it called crashing if now Photoshop closes down? Of course I googled the issue, cleaned my registry and read a multitude of opinions and advice, deciding to just work around the problem by 'saving as' at appropriate moments. I have done that lesson now often enough to know it in my sleep, however I am proceeding with the next lessons. I am NOT very computer literate, so simplistically: what is the problem, and who do I ask to fix it for me.
Friendly greetings to all you talented people - Rose

Can you assign more memory to the virtual machine (via the Parallels configuration menus)?
Photoshop CS5 has had an update recently, 12.0.1. If Help - About in Photoshop is showing 12.0.0 you should run the updater (Help - Updates...).
It may be that the OpenGL drivers in Parallels aren't up to the requirements of Photoshop. It's quite challenging to get OpenGL right in a virtual machine environment, and the virtualization companies are furiously releasing new versions with more and more graphics capabilities just so gamers will buy their software over the competition's. Try disabling the OpenGL feature via Edit - Preferences - Performance and see if that helps.

Quick Select crashes PS

Hey everyone. I started having this issue a few days ago. When using the quick select tool, it freezes PS and I have to shut it down via task manager. I've searched for solutions and noticed that the latest update supposedly fixes a bug that causes this. However, I have installed the update successfully and it is doing the same thing. I'm working with PS CS5 on a Vista Ultimate (SP1) machine (32 bit), Intel Core2 CPU - 2.40 GHz, 4 GB RAM.

When working with quick selection tool (and not only) the whole psd file gets damaged.

Hello there,
Since I first tried Photoshop CS6 on PC I encounter the following problem: when I use quick selection tool at some point the selection gets completely random and I see parts of my artwork disapear. Even after closing the file without saving the changes I see the artwork completely corrupted, without any possibility to recover. As if parts of the image were deleted.
The problem persisted after I changed to Creative Cloud on Mac (I'm running OS X 10.8.5.)
I have just seen that it also happens when I work with regular layer masks.
I desperately need to fix this problem because I cannot keep using hours of retouching work again and again.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers
Julia

I am also having the same exact issue. This is the third time this has happened in about six months. I use the quick selection tool and I see a alpha mask that looks truncated and it show random parts of the image in the mask which has nothing to do with the selection. But the worst part of this is that my retouching layer the only other layer comes back completely empty even if I try to save the file in various other file types like tiff and it comes back empty. I'm losing a lot of retouching time here. I also hope some else has an answer.
Thanks
Mike

Menu selection issues in Flash CS4 for Mac

I'm having a few menu selection issues in Flash. It seems some fields are de-selecting automatically (and quickly). For instance:
1) When I double-click a layer to change it's name, it highlights then immediately de-selects. I can only rename by right-clicking and bringing up the Properties dialog.
2) Fields highlight briefly then immediately de-select in the Properties menu when using the Tab button to advance or cycle thru fields. I have to click on each field individually to enter dimensions/characters.
Possibly related...
On occasion, I'm having an issue in Photoshop where the tools are off by 30 pixels or so. Examples:
- Paint brush affects an area approximately 30px to the right and down from the brush head.
- Selection tool selects an area approximately 30px to the right and down from the arrow head.
This only happens on occasion and can be fixed by restarting Photoshop. I have not had any luck fixing the problems experienced within Flash.
I'm experiencing this on two different machines that have CS4 installed. My only guess is a conflict with a Logitech driver OR a Wacom driver, but I have uninstalled the software and unplugged the Logitech mouse and Wacom tablet to no avail.
Long time Flash/Photoshop user.... never had a problem like this.
Anyone else have these issues or know a fix?

Hi there,
This is a known issue, however we have not been able to reproduce it internally. The way to fix it (assuming it's the same problem) is to change your workspace (such as resetting to a default shipping layout, and then modifying from there), as it seems as though something about the workspace is causing the problem. It could be very specific to where its layed out on your monitor(s), some exact pixel size of a panel and/or grouping - and so on. However, we haven't been able to reproduce this internally yet - only reproed and fixed similar problems - so I cannot say for sure, however changing the workspace has fixed it for the other users I've talked to seeing this one.
If you are able to share the following about one or both of your computers and send it to jdh (at) adobe, greatly appreciated:
* workspace XML file from the Configuration directory (before changing the workspace!)
* description monitor layout (ie: primary on left, secondary on right... or "one" )
* monitor resolution(s)
* screenshot(s) of your layout exhibiting the problem
Thanks!

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?

Quick selection & smart brush tools are freezing

Hello! As of the past couple days I have had issues using my quick selection and smart brush tools. Every time I try to use either as soon as I start lassoing part of my image it freezes. I can't click Command+D, I can't click anything else in my toolbar, I can't open up a new picture. The only thing I can do is to Force Quit. I recently downloaded Yosemite for my MacBook Pro and wonder if the issue could somehow correlate with that. Any ideas? Thank you!

Sure does:
Photoshop Elements stops responding after Mac OS update to Yosemite

When I click on the "quick selection tool" and try to select something, it just "draws a line"

When I click on the "quick selection tool" in Photoshop CS5, and try to select something, it just "draws a line" as if the diameter were very thin and it dones't select anything.
Thanks.

Quick select cut/paste doesn't match 100%

I'm trying to cut out a selection using Quick Select (all refine edge settings off) and then paste into a new layer. However, I can't get a 100% pixel perfect alignment once I paste. Cut/Paste using the rectangle select does match 100%. The quick select tool should allow for 100% pixel perfect alignment, correct? Any pointers?
Thanks,
Dustin
This is before cutting (note middle circle)
This is after cut/paste and aligning

Ok thanks. But I'm not really having an issue with the selection, it is definitey selecting the pixels I want (and cutting them correctly). It is just that once pasted, it will never align perfectly, which makes the tool unusable for me. I just can't imagine that this is how the quick select tool is supposed to work. I just want it to cut pixels, and paste the same pixels, without modifying them in any way.
