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.

  • Rectangle marquee tool is rounding at the edges, how to I revert to sharp edges?

    The rectangle marquee tool is rounding at the edges of my selections and when I try to fill with solid color, it fills very transparently and almost water-color like.
    I don't know how the settings were changed, but I need help reverting them back to normal.
    FYI: When I select an area using the rectangle marquee tool, an error message pops up that says "Warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible."
    I am not very savvy with this program, but need to finish creating a flyer by this afternoon. Please help!

    Hi,
    You probably have a feather value other than zero set in the tool options bar.

  • Wont let me "drag" the rectangle marquee tool or text box tool.

    Hey photoshop wizards... I need your help. I have CS4 and when I use the rectangle marquee tool or text tool... it wont let me click and drag an area that I want. It automatically selects a box from the top left corner of my image to where I clicked. It also does not let me move the box with the move tool once its made. Ive reset all the tools and this has not helped. If you know what Im talking about... please help me as it is preventing me from continuing my work. Thank you.

    You don't say what OS.
    First thing I do when things get goofy is to trash the prefs. This is covered in the FAQs if you don't know how.

  • My rectangle marquee tool won't draw 90 degree corners...it defaults to a round corner.

    My rectangle marquee tool has stopped drawing right angle corners. When I use the tool and mark the area, as long as I hold the mouse down I have right angles, As soon as I release the mouse the corners become rounded. It must be a simple toggle, but I can't find it,

    Hi there
    Make sure the feather value in the Rectangular Marquee options bar is set to 0 px, as shown below:
    If this does not solve your issue, feel free to post here again.

  • Video layers with Rectangle Marquee Tool

    I have 6 video layers open in Photoshop. I am using the Marquee Tool to delete areas of the video layers (so I could see the layer(s) behind). Once I do this I realise that the deleted areas are only visible on that frame of the video timeline. I want the deleted areas to stay consistent throughout the whole timeline. I originally was going to do this in Premiare however I realised it would be too time consuming for the many sections I wanted to create. 
    Is there a way to select areas of a video layer and delete these areas showing the layers behind, and for it to be visible throughout the whole time line?

    Thanks for your response.
    The problem with using layer masks is that I will have to selectively hide/show each area that I want on all 6 video layers. I have a grid of 78 rectangles that I'm trying to selectively chose what areas of the 6 video layers.
    Basically I'm doing a test video where I have 6 different videos recorded at different focal lengths - showing different areas of the shot in focus and out. I'm using the grid to cut out sections thereby showing areas in focus and out of focus.
    I attach a screen shot of the grid with the image and without. Doing a still image is fine. I just want this be able to do this with the video.

  • Where is rounded corner rectangular marquee tool?

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded from PSE 9 to 11 on my Window's pc.
    I can't find the rounded corner rectangle marquee tool in the tool box, which only seems to have two options - the regular rectangle and the elliptical marquee. But I know PSE 11 should have rounded edge option from viewing videos online, etc.
    Where is it hiding?
    Thanks,

    The rounded rectangle is only in the shape tool, always has been. However, you can get a sort of rounded corner effect with the rectangular marquee if you apply a fairly high feather. Maybe that's what you were remembering?

  • CS4 bug: Rectangle Marque Tool unwanted off-set

    I feel like there are a lot of annoying bugs in CS4. The latest and greatest bug is with the Rectangle Marquee Tool (Selection Tool). When the tool is selected from the tool bar I get the cross-hairs/bar cursor icon, which is totally fine... instead of drawing the axis point from the very center of the cursor, it's off-set to the bottom of the cursor icon. In other words, It will always be 10-20 px off from where I actually want to make my selection...
    May not be a big deal to most people, but when you're trying to select small pieces and move them, this should be accurate.
    I dump my preference files, toggle workspaces. It's a temporary fix, is anyone else noticing this?

    Yep, Ann has the band-aid solution. Unfortunately, it won't cure the disease but it does work to quickly get rid of the symptom.
    You might also see this annoying behavior with other tools like offset brush cursors and the path tool. Same (temporary) fix - hit F a couple of times.

  • Marquee Tool 1 Pixel Off

    Good Evening
    I recently downloaded the Adobe PS CS5 trial, very happy so far.
    However this evening I have had an issue with the marquee tool being 1 pixel off, making selections very hard...
    I have a Nvidia 8600 GT, 4GB of RAM, Windows 7 64 bit
    I have googled and researched solutions, seems the most reccomended method is to disable OpenGL however this seemed specific to ATI cards
    I have tried this anyway, both on and off and it makes no difference unfortunately
    I have updated CS5 and my GFX drivers and still no difference
    Is there any other reccomendations please?
    Thanks

    Some say it's a nVidia driver glitch.  I have reproduced it on one of my nVidia-equipped systems, and it's not the same with an ATI card, though arguably it's off on the ATI system too, just in a different way.
    Try temporarily disabling OpenGL Drawing (Edit - Preferences - Performance) and see if the problem persists.
    You lose a few things without OpenGL.  This page describes more:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html
    Installing the latest nVidia driver from their web site might help.

    Change the edge type from feathered to anti-aliased in the

  • Unable to constrain rectangle using marquee tool

    Holding down the shift key while using the marquee tool to draw a rectangle does not work. That is, the rectangle is not constrained to a square using this technique. I think the problem may be with settings for this tool. I cannot see how to restore the defaults in Preferences. Restoring the Essentials workspace to the default did not help. How can I constrain rectangles and ovals using the marquee and lasso tools? Thanks.

    Hi,
    What version of photoshop are you using?
    You can reset the defaults for one tool or all the tools by right clicking on tool icon in the tool options bar.
    That could also happen if you have something other than New Selection enabled in the tool options bar.

  • Rectangular Marquee tool broken in CS5.1?

    The rectangular marquee tool no longer seems to work when choosing the "Fixed size" option. It seems to just select the entire image area regardless of what values are entered.
    This is with version CS5.1 as provided in Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.5.
    I've had no problems with this tool in other versions. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?
    I'm running OSX 10.6.7
    David

    Check the units you specified for the fixed size. My guess is that it's set to something larger than your image.
    Yes, thanks - I was just about to post a response to my own question. They were cm, rather than pixels!
    Cheers

  • Rectangular marquee tool problem

    i used 'rectangular marquee tool to select an area . then i right clicked and select "stroke"  . but i am not satisfied with the result , because its corner was slightly jagged ( when i zoom it ) . feather was set to 0 . can anyone help me plz how to fix this ?

    May I suggest stroking on the Inside of your Marquee.
    Or switching to using the Rectangle Tool.  The options for stroking a shape offer a great deal of configurability...

  • Global Chord Track and Marquee Tool

    Hi there,
    I wanted to select some Chords on the global chord track, but the marquee tool doesn't seem to work here. When i click & drag (with the marquee tool, of course!), no marquee will draw, but the first chord that i touch is selected and pulled away from it's position.
    I consider this a bug, but maybe it's a feature - can somebody help me?

    Bump.
    No ideas, anyone?

  • Inaccurate Marquee tool

    I've recently upgraded from Photoshop cs3 to cs5.1 and have noticed that the marquee tool's selection is not as accurate as I'd like. For something simple like drawing a selection around a square I could previously do this down to the exact pixel with a single click and drag. My process (while working at 100%) now goes like this:
    i) Choose which bit of the cursor I place in the top left of the square to trace (I use the black inner lines)
    ii) Click and begin dragging and see that the selection in the top left is now 1 pixel down and 1 pixel to the right of where I clicked.
    iii) Drag the selection to the bottom right of the square and align the inner lines of the crosshair
    iv) Release the mouse button. The top left corner now springs back into the originally clicked position (good). The bottom right corner now jumps up to 2 pixels up and 2 pixels left of the actual corner.
    I am left trying to approximate how far past my object corner I overshoot in order for it to be correct when it 'jumps' back. It feels as though I'm getting similar selection errors as if I was working at a random image zoom such as 337%
    Anyone else experiencing this or more importantly know how to remedy it?
    Thanks
    Tech info
    Mac 10.7.3
    Res: 2560 x 1440

    Notes
    Jumping problem is the same if 'snap' is turned on or off
    The problem occurs at 100% and is marginally improved at 200% - although I can't get an accurate selection in 10 attempts.
    Also in cs3 the Marquee tool's crosshair was 1 pixel thick and now in cs5.1 it is 3 pixels thick due to the white outline around it, I find this harder to use and unable to switch off.
    Selecting cursors 'precise' in preferences doesn't fix it

    I tried filling a rectangular selection larger than the screen, and duplicating it free hand on another layer, but was one pixel out on two sides.  So I tried again at 200% and it was spot on.
    This sounds like a similar effect, the requirement to zoom into the image in order to place an accurate selection. I've tried this repeatedly and the amount the marquee jumps is different each time, between 1-2 pixels up and to the left.
    I'm trying to cut out many web type graphics which are only a couple of hundred pixels in height/width. Without an accurate selection tool at 100% my workflow is now:
    i) Select Zoom and click three times to get to 400% (At which point selection becomes 90% accurate)
    ii) Make the selection
    iii) Double click the zoom tool to get back to 100% view
    That is an overhead of five clicks which seems a bit long winded. Or I can re-open the file in Photoshop cs3 and select more accurately, which I don't really want to do.
    Does anyone know of an option that can be toggled to make the Marquee tool more accurate or is a jumping selection on release just how it is?

  • Marquee Tool Shifting Tracks after reopening

    I was cleaning up my tracks by using the marquee tool to select and then deleted parts of regions (mostly comps). Everything was fine until I reopen the session today and everything inside the comp has shifted over except the first take. Seems like a pretty bad bug, which I am able to reproduce on other sessions as well, anyone else experiencing this?
    -b

    Hey, -b,
    This problem most likely has the same solution as your other region wandering problem. You need to set your region anchors to a specific place in the timeline. You should do this after you do all your comping, editing or what have you. Align the anchor to the most logical place, and be sure to audition for timing, etc. More info on this can be found at <www.macprovideo.com> where there are free demo tutorials. Just look for Logic 8 101 in the free tutorials section.
