Rectangle Selection Tool... Error...

Dear Sirs,
I am having an error regarding the selection tool once I select normally the + sign adds itself and stays without me clicking on shift key, unles I change a button on the menu it won't go away, I can't use it normally (shift and mouse for the + sign to appear)... that's a bug definitely, on CS6 Photoshop.
Thank you.
Sincerely.
I am using the middle eastern version on a macbook pro]

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Quick selection tool error message

When I use the quick selection tool (or when I use content-aware scaling) I get an error message saying "could not complete your request because of a program error." I am working with NEF files, 4 GB of RAM, fast machine with plenty of scratch space, Radeon X1950 crossfire graphics card. With small .jpg files, the problem doesn't occur. Thanks for any help.

That's right, Chris... and even when I turn it off, it seems erratic as to whether or not the scaling works. I just tried it again and couldn't get it to work without the program error message even when I turned it off. I suspect that if I reboot the whole machine it might work but I'm not sure. Something is buggy in there.

Selection Tool Error

I'm having problems with the selection tool in Indesign CS5. When I select an object with the selection tool and try to move it I get an alert sound. It will not let me move an entire object with either the selection tool or the direct selection tool. If I use the direct selection tool I can grab a point and move the point with no problem. If the object is selected, I can use my arrow tool to move the object. But when I use the selection tool to click/hold and drag, to move I receive an alert sound, and nothing happens. I'm on a Mac running 10.6.7. Macbook Pro 6. Last time this happened I had to create a new user and transfer everything over to a new account. I know there are problems with the initial User account on a mac created, but I was hoping this wouldn't happen again. Any help would be wonderful. And no, nothing is locked down, and it does the same thing when opening a brand new document.
Thanks,

When I said "arrow tool" I meant my directional arrows on my keyboard. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks.

Hi Srinivas!
Where did you get your implementation from?
It would be nice if you could debug your code!
For the F4 method, have you seen this note?
Note 544904 - Sample source code f.BAdI /SAPAPO/SDP_SELECTOR ('F4'method)
Also check this note. It contains selection modifications in the BAdI:
Note 376902 - SDP selector: Basis corrections for BADI
I do not know your release and support package in your SCM, but you can find a lot of notes related to this BAdI.
Thank you!

Rectangle Marquee selection tool inaccurate at 100%

When I make a selection with the rectangle selection tool in Photoshop at 100% it will usually start the marquee 1 pixel to the right of where I clicked and then shift left 1 pixel.
Or, other times it will make the selection correctly when I am dragging - but once I release it shifts to the right 1 pixel.
This makes creating a selection infuriating as the buggy behavior isnt even consistant and changes every time I re-select the tool
Resetting the tool does not help.

For me, the Markee selection tool is inaccurate at any %, shifted by ~1px to the right on the left edge. An INCREDIBLY frustrating problem, as others have pointed out. This was an issue in CS4 and now also on CS5, on an Intel Mac:
Processor: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
Here is the result of selecting all:
And here you can see that the issue persists at 200%:

Stage disappears when using selection tool

I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended and i discover a strange problem in some documents that makes working impossible.
When i use the normal rectangle selection tool in some documents then suddenly all the content of the stage disappears when i release the mouse
It doesn't occur with any document just with some.
Does anyone has discovered the same issue and has an idea how to solve it?

Sorry, i meant canvas..."stage" was influenced by Flash
Posting a Screenshot makes no sense, because you just cant see no content anymore. All the panels are still there, but the canvas suddenly is empty in the moment i release the mouse when i'm using the selection tool.
I'm running Photoshop CS6 Extended on Windows 7 Professional 64Bit with 16GB RAM, 18GB of free disk space on an SSD.
It might be a working memory problem (?!). After closing Chrome (where i had a lot of tabs) and restarting the system, noe everything works fine. The problem is, that it happened a few times with different PSD-documents...

CS5 Selection tool problems

Hello Forum,
I have just downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS5 (Trial version). I am having problems with the selection tool, whenever I try to select something with the lasso tool, i hold down my left mouse button and drag around to make a selection but i can't see what I am selecting util I release the left mouse button. It's quite frustrating because I am unable to properly select something (I can't see the trail my selection leaves behind). It's the same for the rectangle selection tool.
I have a Dell Latitude E6400, Core 2 Duo P8700 @ @.53 GHz, 4 Gigs of RAM. Integrated graphics card, Mobile Intel 4 Series Express (Adapter String: Mobile Intel(R) GMA 4500MHD).
Thank you,
Alex

Do you have the latest driver release for your video hardware?
I haven't any personal experience with Intel video interfaces, but we do see a lot of negative comments about how well they work with Adobe products on this forum.
Assuming your computer has a PCIe slot, you may ultimately want to go with an ATI or nVidia graphics card, and disable the onboard video interface.

Can't reshape rectangle with the "Selection Tool"

Hi,
After updating Illustrator CC 2014 to the newest versions I can't reshape rectangles with the "Selection Tool".
Is this a new feature where you have to go to: "Shape > Expand rectangle" to be able to reshape it?

ristogoertz,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks).
So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Selection tool not transforming rectangles but works fine with other shapes

I can't transform rectangle shapes with the selection tool. I've already tried showing the bounding box (command+shift+B), but it still doesn't work. I have no transforming issues with any of the other shapes, just the rectangles. Please help!

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.

Indesign CC crashes when I select the rectangle frame tool?? Its a custom page, tabloid with guides set.

My indesign crashes when I select the rectangle frame tool. Does it matter if its a custom doc set as a tabloid and guide lines? I have a project due and all I'm trying to do is add a picture I took.

Repeated "Unknown error" messages using selection tools, CS5.1 Illustrator

Installed a Creative suite 5.5 (Master) upgrade where Illustrator (like Photoshop) is renamed CS5.1. Getting repeated "unknown error" message when trying to select an object. I've reinstalled, trashed preference plists, repaired permissions. The annoying error is showing up under MacOS Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (including today's updated) and MacOs Lion. Anyone else on Mac platform experiencing this issue with the Creative Suite 5.5 upgrade? If this can't be resolved soon I will uninstall this version and reinstall the CS5 suite version of Illustrator. But I really don't want to go there after shelling out for the upgrade. Thanks for any feedback.

Adobe posted a troubleshooting document in Illustrator area:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/824/cpsid_82414.html
I read it thoroughly since I am still experiencing the popup error messages when using either selection tool on objects. I did a uninstall and install of CS5.1 (CS5.1 for the suite 5.5 upgrade) and did not install the VectorScribe and XtreamPath 1.4 plugins. The "unplugged" Illustrator worked fine. I then installed VectorScribe -- no problems. Then XtreamPath 1.4 - voila the error popped up.
Anyone else use XtreamPath 1.4 with Lion and had problems? I sent CSValley Support to ask if their plugin works under Lion (according to their system specs, it should).
UPDATE 8-5-11: (CSValley promptly replied back that they had not received any issues similar to mine.)
I installed both plugins (VectorScribe and XP 1.4) on my Macbook Pro and had no problems there which led me to think the XP plugin might be corrupted on my main work machine (MacPro). So I copied the plugin from the MBP to the MacPro and happily (knock on wood) am not getting the error messages.
Somewhere along the way of installing the CS5.5 upgrade and MacOSLion, my XtreamPath plugin was affected.
