Quick Selection messing up!! NEED HELP!!

On the quick selection tool when i click on the photo it just lags for a second then does everything by itself and not what I want!!

Try clicking once and releasing the mouse. Then click to add more bits. If you select too much hold down Alt and the cursor changes from plus to minus. So you can keep fine tuning as you go along.

  • Sound card is messed up needs help!

    Okay, one day I was out of the house and my brother used my computer. I came back and my sound card is not working at all. He told me he was only playing Team Fortress 2 but I think he's lying. He did something that made the sound not work. When I restart my computer the sound does work for a while but then in 5 minutes or less it just suddenly makes a painful ticking noise and jsut sto
    ps.
    I try to go in open volume mixer or playback devices but they dont open or they just freeze and i have to use task manager to close the windows.
    If I have my speakers turned off or my headphones unplugged the sound blaster is okay, it only freezes up when sound is played, and when frozen, it stays broken until i restart the computer. Sometimes when I restart it already doesnt work or when I try to shut the computer down it says the system cant shut down because it says its currently playing logoff sound so i have to end program to turn it off, and sometimes the computer doesnt shut down! It turns the moniter and mouse off, but the computer is still on and I have to hold the power button to turn it off. I reinstalled a fresh Windows Vista Ultimate hoping that would fix the problem but it still does the same, so its prabably not a software program, its the sound card or probably the moherboard. I have a HP computer with PCI-E Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio and have the latest drivers. Someone please help me I might need sound for an online summer coarse!

    'Re: Sound card is messed up needs help!y someone2,
    Here are links to some threads on similar questions with some troubleshooting you can try. You may find more using the Forums search function. Checking that Windows Audio is started and set to Automatic is simple in XP, but Vista may differ. If you can run msconfig, disable everything on the Startup tab, and see if you get stable sound. If so, then enable items one at a time until the problem returns.

  • Quick selection tool cs5, please help :)

    i am not too sure wether i have changed a setting or curse for my quick selection but everytime i go to select something it doesnt come with the dotted out lines, it
    comes out as just a black outlines, can this be fixed?

    leahMEATSIX: (not a Lady Gaga fan by any chance, are you?)
    You could try a couple or so things...
    1. Check you have the latest drivers for your graphics card... If not, download and install, if yes, reinstall them (in both cases, after first uninstalling the existing ones.)
    2. Delete your preferences (or move to another location). Restart and see.
    3. Check your monitor is at the optimum resolution
    4. If none of the above works, and everything was working fine before, suggest you uninstall (don't forget to first deactivate) and then reinstall PS.
    NB: Edited to correct some typos and add point 4.

  • Original not found? Big mess! Need Help now please!

    Hi! I need a lot of help.
    I deleted the songs off my itunes and then copied them back by using my ipod. Then, thinking everything would be fine with my music, I restored my ipod because it was messed up.
    Now when I tried to sync my ipod, it does not sync the music, and when I click the , it says original file not found! I bought all these songs once and I would be devestated to have to buy them again. Please help immediately as I will be leaving tomorrow!!!
    Thanks very much!!!

    First thing to try, is booting from the restore DVD and installing a fresh copy of 10.6. If you're lucky, the 10.6.4 update just hosed your OS install, and a simple reinstall is all that's needed.
    Once you've booted to the 10.6 installer, it couldn't hurt to run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu to verify the SMART status of the drive, and even run a repair disk operation on it.
    If the SMART status is failed, or Disk Utility doesn't see the drive, then you're looking at a hardware failure. You'll need to take it somewhere to be fixed if it's under warranty, otherwise if you have some precision screwdrivers like a PH000 and Torx T4, you can replace the drive yourself with pretty much any 2.5" SATA drive.

    I shouldn't try to code before I have had at least three cups of coffee. The actual answer is:
    select decode(department,lag(department) over (order by department),null,department)
    , job
    from departments
    order by department.
    I ran this:
    select decode(job,lag(job) over (order by job),null,job)

  • Wrt54g ip page is messed up, need help.

    so i went to use my old router and when i go to set it up at 192.168.1.1 only a couple things load. tried a reset and a 30/30/30 reset.  took a screen shot to show what the ip page is doing, oddest thing ive ever seen.

    This happend on a PC with IE or FF?
    If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.
    Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
    Clear all browser caches.
    Be sure to log into the Admin account on the router.
    Try turning off these features in Chrome:
    Top right corner, little bars for options > Settings > Settings (on left) > Show advanced settings.
    Uncheck these:
    Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors
    Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
    Predict network actions to improve page load performance
    Enable phishing and malware protection
    This UI page on the router is not up to date with the latest browser technology so you may see issues on various PCs or devices. The WRT54 isn't developed on anymore I think.

  • Quick selection tool selecting all the image

    Hi
    I'm trying to get use to this quick selection tool , i have an image i need in the middle of the photo and all round the sides i want to whiten, the tool once draggin down either side selections all the picture no mater what setting i use, this is really annoying

    corky49 wrote:

    With the quick selection tool you need to drag INSIDE the object you are trying to select. So, say the image you are trying to isolate is a building, drag inside the picture of the building. The selection will expand looking for similar contrast pixels and will hopefully stop at the building edges. If it selects too much or too little you can zoom in and use the add to selection / subtract from selection options and Refine Edges until you get a satisfactory selection.
    From what you say you may be trying to select everything except the object in the centre  (so that you can whiten around the edges). If this is so then first select the object (building in my example) then invert the selection using Select> Inverse (or Ctrl+Shift+I).

  • Loops messed up. Help needed quickly

    Hi there,
    I'm in the middle of kind of an important project that has to be finished by next week and of course those are the times when software seems to fail So I need help quickly.
    Situation: the location of my apple loops seems to be messed up. I placed the "Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro" on an external disk (since it is the largest folder) and kept the rest on my internal drive. Now, when I search my loop browser, results seem to be incomplete. I know I had a lot more drum loops before I reorganized my loops than I have now.
    So I became suspicious and as some kind of test I looked in the Library > Audio > Apple Loops > Jam Pack Symphony Orchestra folder, searched for a particular loop name (in this case "Adversary Strings"), typed it in the search menu of the loop browser in Logic and couldn't find it.
    So I took al my loop folders in the "Apple Loops" map and dragged them back into Logic. It showed "Adding Loops" and after 10 seconds (which seemed rather short to me) this was done. I searched again "Adversary Strings" in the loop browers, still couldn't find it. So I dragged ONLY the "Adversary Strings" loop in the Logic Pro loop browser and then Logic gave me a message: "Logic already has this loop, do you want to replace it?"
    But Logic doesn't have that loop! I can't find it, there's no filter on in my loop browser (I search "all loops") and I don't find some loops (it's not only the case with the "Adversary Strings") and when I want to add them I get the message that they're already in Logic...
    So I deleted all my loop indexes, re-added the loops and still no results.
    Any ideas out there to re-index these things correctly???
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    thanks for the help, but as I said in my topic, I already followed the steps suggested in "Rebuilding the Loop index" (deleting my index and dragging the apple loops folder back in the browser) and of course I already searched the forum. My question was a little more specific, so I thought it deserved a new thread.
    Eventually I solved it in a very strange manner, just by trial and error actually. When I added the whole loop folder, Logic couldn't find the loops (despite deleting the index and hoping for Logic to re-index the loops). But when I selected one loop out of a particular folder (for instance Jam Pack1) and added it, Logic added the loop, but this seemed to take a while. After that one loop was loaded, suddenly all the others that were in the same folder (Jam Pack1) were also visible again.
    I did this for every different loop folder (5 jam packs, garage band, soundtrack pro and I life) and so got back all my loops...
    Weird, but it worked
    Thanks anyhow...

  • 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.

  • Problem burning DVDs, NEED HELP QUICK

    Hey,
    I need help as soon as possible. I am using iMovieHD 5.0.2, along with iDVD 5.0.1. I have made a movie about 8 minutes long and all in all it totals 7.68Gigs, and i've tried burning it to a dvd. I did all the steps it says to, going to Share, sharing it with iDVD, then trying to burn it in iDVD. Yet whenever it asks me to insert a recordable dvd, i do, and the computer fails to recognize it. I am using a DVD-R, 4.7GB discs, 4x. I then realized that the movie i was trying to burn was larger than this disc, which might be the problem. I then created a 200mb movie and tried, but the same problem happened. My G5 is not recognizing the blank dvds, yet when i insert a dvd that was made a while ago from a different source, yet the same type of dvd, it plays fine.
    The problem seems to be in recognizing the blank DVD, and im pretty sure that its compatible with this computer, being that it plays when theres already a movie on it.
    Can someone please help me quickly, this is for a production company and we're losing out every day that i dont get this done. Thanks a million.

    I don't have an answer, but as an initial diagnostic step, try loading a blank DVD while iDVD is not running. First open your System Preferences and select the CD/DVD icon. Make sure the options selected do not say "Ignore". Then load a blank disc. Depending on your preferences, you should get some sort of reaction - either a burn window opens or you get a prompt asking you what to do. If there's no reaction from the Finder, it would indicate that the drive is not recognizing the blank DVD. This would be either a hardware or a media compatibility problem. Only way to tell for sure is to run out and try a different brand of media.

  • Need Help Quick to Teach Myself...

    I'm looking for some guidance.  I'm starting on a Sharepoint migration project from 2007 to 2013 soon and need to teach myself all I possibly can rather quickly.  I've been looking all over the internet to try to find free classes and tutorials.
    This is my chance to prove myself and I don't want to mess up and don't want to look stupid.  I need to be impressive here. 
    Can anyone help me find some free classes and tutuorials?  I'm an end user, but I would like to know much, much more from a web developer and business intelligence portion of Sharepoint.  Just some direction that anyone can point me in where I
    can just start and then take off quickly.  Please, please, really need help here.
    Thank you!

    Start by reading all the articles on the following web sites.  to upgrade from 2007 to 2013 you need to either use a third party tool or upgrade first to 2010 and then 2013.

  • I sync my iPad. Now everything is messed up playlists and music are gone. Weird stuff showed up. And now I can't find the option to delete or make new playlists. 6.1.2 is my newest version!! NEED HELP!!

    So I don't sync my iPad very often. My dad and I share a computer. And I decided to do it the other day. I am pretty sure I did it all correctly selecting music that I wanted not deleting playlists but it seems to be that they are gone. And music I didn't want has appeared. And now I don't have an option (with this new iOS 6.1.2) to make new playlists or edit music I don't want out.
    I know I need help figuring those two things out 1 how to make a play list. There isn't a "add" button anymore in that screen I have a "you have no playlist"with a button underneath that says "go to iTunes Store" why I would need the store for that, I do not know.
    Then in the songs, artists, albums sections where you used to be able to hit "edit" button to delete the music you have that you don't want. I don't seem to be able to do anything at all to get rid of the random music I have.
    I need help. I know my iPad fairly well but I am not super savvy with it either.

    Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
    There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content.

    Mitch

    iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
    You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
    How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread
