Quick select snapping is frustrating

I have an circle in the centre of my document. I select it by pressing command click on the layer. Then I want to expand the selection so I am trying to add with the quick selection tool but when I get to a certain pony the selection snaps to the document edge so that the whole doc is selected. I dont want it to do this. I just want to select where I am putting the cursor. I am not even going anywhere near the edge when this occurs. I have snapping off. How do I do this without it snapping to the edge?

You might find using the Quick Mask Mode is better suited for the kind of selection your talking about.

Quick selection tool doesn't snap to to the nearest area. Working more like a lasso tool and the add layer button doesn't seem to creat the cutout that it should.

Quick selection tool in elements 13 doesn't snap to the nearest border area of the photo. Works more like a lasso. Also the add layer button when clicked on only brings up a black layer, not a black mask with a hole where I just cut.

Which OS are you working on?
Please try resetting your tools from Photo Bin flyout menu.
1. Open Photo bin.
2. Click on Fly Out menu
3. Click on option Reset all Tools
4. Relaunch Editor13
and see if it helps.
Thanks,

Quick selection tool doesn't "snap" to edges. It works more like the lasso tool.

When I try to make a quick selection it doesn't snap to the edges of the objects or the edge of the image.

My apologies - I "drilled down" the Adobe site through CC > Photoshop so I thought that information was picked up. I have found the solution in the meantime - I has set the brush size to very small - so I will mark this as complete.
Thanks for your guidance for future enquiries.

Magic Quick Selection Tool NOT working right. Help please?

We've used the magic quick selection tool lots and most of the time it works well.
It's very slow.............. v e r y slow and I'm wondering if there's a patch to download from Adobe or
what to do to fix this. We have pictures to edit and it's making the editing torture. Please help?
Thank you so much. tkccvalentine

It's the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm trying to get the background and make it another layer so I can even out the color of the background then bring down the transparency. Not sure if that makes sense. I'm new to this.... Sometimes the area it will grab can go ...not fast.. but not slow. Sometimes it's like it's just messed up and literally takes 30 seconds to process each move. I rebooted my computer and re opened it and it helped a little. It's not clear what causes it when it messes up and when it doesn't. Just frustrating. It's probably user error because I'm so new at Photoshop. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

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.

Quick Selection tool in CS5 doesn't select everything

I hope I am posting in the correct place. If not, please tell me where to post my question, thanks.
I am using the quick selection tool to select my image. When I click on 'Refine Edge' it looks great. When I output to a new layer or new document, etc., parts of the image are missing.
For example, I have an image of two girls (attached). When I click 'Refine Edge,' it looks just the way I want. But if I choose to put it into a new document or new layer, the red-haired girl's hands and legs disappear. This isn't the first time this has happened - I just finally got frustrated enough to ask for help. Thanks and let me know what I am doing wrong.
(The first is B&W in 'refine edge', the second is Overlay view in 'refine edge', and the last one is the results (with disappearing hands and legs)

I assumed it wouldn’t help based on other comments. Using Mac OS X 10.9.3, ID CSS 6 version 8.
I just logged out and then logged in and the problem cleared up but did the same thing before and it cleared up and then came back. Any ideas why this is intermittent?
Thanks.

Quick selection tool failing to select objects

Every time I use Quick selection tool it selects the area which I don't want to use. I have a website called JoGuru Social Travel Network for which I need to edit it's logo. Now since the logo has many green and blue variation I can't select the area I need.
I thought of changing the color of logo so that it looks refined but green color signifies travel and i can't think of using any other color. It would have been easy to pick other color. For me Green is God. I must use that only. I also need to encorporate small road in it that defines journey to infinity. This tool use to work well before. It's giving me problem for the first time. Please help.

I have managed to do this... Snap to grid helped a lot ! Thank you.. I will now start learning all these things one by and and slowly slowly. Thank you so much Trevor !!!

Quick selection tool not working correctly

I am trying to extract a portion of a photo...i tried using the selection tool to extract the portion on another picture, and it worked GREAT!
Now i'm trying to use it in another photo and the refine image tool isn't extracting it into a new layer like it did with the other one!
is there something that i may have clicked or turned off that is preventing me from making this extraction??

Hello,
Could you be more specifc as to what you are doing here?
You mention using selections tools, including the Quick Selection tool, but these tools only create selections, they do not extract the material you have selected. A selection is like highlighting text in a word processor, after you have highlighted the text you can copy/paste it or modify it, but simply highlighting it doesn't do anything. Same with selections, once you have created a selection with a tool like Quick Selection you can how copy/paste it to a new image or perform adjustments to just that area.
I'm not sure what you mean by the "refine image tool", we don't have anything by that name. However, we do have a Refine Edge option that helps to make cleaner edges to your selection.

Why there is no quick selection function in adobe photoshop 6.0.1 [was: cs6.01]?

Some one my help? why there is no quick selection function in my adobe photoshop 6.0.1 [was: cs 6.01]?

What John Waller just said.
And your screen shows it is the archaic, totally superseded Photoshop 6.01, and that was in no way associated with any CS (Creative Suite), so your question title indicating you had "cs6.0.1" was massively and annoyingly misleading and wrong.
You must be running an ancient machine if that oldie runs on it.
What's worse you are running an illegal, pirated and hacked version of Photoshop. You are breaking the law.
Please don't come back here until you have bought a legal copy of Photoshop.

"Map of the entire planet, eh?"
Na, just a .5ft pixel res mosaic of Presque Isle PA. Lake Erie needs a bit of a touch up and I thought it would be nice to have at it in one file. Looks like I'll have to do it in pieces or not use quick select?
"24 GB of RAM isn't really a lot for editing a 14 GB file."
That's all that will fit in this box, and I'm stuck with it for 3 years unless the company has an extraordinary year.
File info - 8000x6400px, 8bit srgb, 9 layer PSB with about 1/3 of the image area being white and transparent pixels. When open and doing nothing it's taking up 2 scratch files totaling around 68gb.

Change the background with a bunch of kids? Quirky quick selection tool?

Main Objective: How can I change the background behind a bunch of kids? My quick selection tool is quirky! Like the HS kids in the pic….
The 2nd photo is what I am looking to do.
When I try the quick selection tool, it's all wonky & quirky now. I can't select little bits any more! It just basically takes the whole stinkin' page! What did I do?! Are there defaults?
On watched video number 85 today, I tried to use my stylus and the bamboo pad. (Good grief; that's another story...it moves & I'm not even touching the pad; what's up with that?! Way too confusing, so I gave up!)
Anyway..this is what I need.
What is easier for me to remove the background? The kids? Pretend I didn't say yes to help with this project?
All the video tutorials on how to remove backgrounds is always on a perfect object...not a real life mess of a class. So... HELP!!!
Please.
This is WAY over my head; but I'm trying. Really.
On a mac with CC membership.

You may find it easier to select the kids than the background. Instead of copying to new layer, create a mask, then you can add or remove as you like.
In the top tool bar click the icon in the middle to add to selection. Then use your option key to remove.
When you are nearing done, you can then refine the mask. If necessary you can use the other selection tool for straight lines, large areas etc. For tight places you may prefer to use the quick mask tool (lowercase q)
Take your time, you will get it. And like I said, using a mask will let you take a breather. It can help walking away for a bit.

Quick Selection Tool doesn't work

This has probably been addressed, but can't seem to find it. It's driving me nuts.
In Elements 6.0, I have found the Quick Selection Tool quite useful. However, I often find that it does not work; not creating an outlined selection.
Have others found this? Do I have some setting incorrect? Is this an Adobe bug? I have reverted to all default settings, but no dice.
Thanks!

Ya, I can't make it work. I've watched a million videos online with people that seem to think it's amazing, but I have spent HOURS trying to cut out a simple image that would have taken me ten seconds on my ancient CS2. After owning this new product for two months I am still opening up my old version of Photoshop to extract images. Every time I start outlining something, the Quick Selection Tool goes all over the place, and when I do finally get it somewhat close to outlining what I want, I can't figure out how to save what I want. Lame.

Quick Selection Tool

I am having a problem with the quick selection tool. When using this tool, the object that you select should automatically find the full edges of the object. When I use this tool it does not do that, and I am wondering if there is anything else that I need to change or select for the tool to work properly?
Thank you!

Try resetting the tool first.
Select the tool. Look for the down pointing arrow to the right of the tool, click on that. A box will open. Look for another arrow at the top right area and click on that. Go down the list and select reset tool. I am not positive but I think you have to restart PS for it to take effect.

Quick Selection Tool Problem - Cursor Stuck in Subtract

Hey All,
I somehow caused the quick selection tool default to be "on always" in the subtraction (minus - ) position; I am able to access the add (plus +) position by using the shift key , but this causes some problems as those are not the defaults keys for this tool or program for that matter.
Can anyone help?

Be sure the tool isn't set to subtract in the options bar. Otherwise, try resetting the tool by right- or control-clicking the blue arrow just to the right of the tool preset (under the blue PS icon in the below screenshot) to reset the tool.

Quick selection tool,How to programme the function of this tool?

Recently, I intend to extract from a picture on the edge of oil tank。I found that this quick selection tool can meet my
requirement。 But I do not know how to achieve it in VC ++ 。I would like to ask somebody who knows it???thanks~~~~~

The question doesn't make sense in the SDK forum either.
Why are you trying to control the tool programmatically?
And I don't think you really can control that tool programatically - it's meant to be interactive.

Quick select snapping is frustrating
