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...

Rectangular Marquee Tool screen artifacts
Hi - I have a problem with Photoshop CS3 (version 10.0) on a Windows XP Professional computer. When I try to use the rectangular marquee tool to select an area of any image the selection marker leaves dotted artifacts across the parts of the images over which the selection marker has passed.
I don't get the problem if I use any of the marquee tools and the artifacts are not actually written to the image. It's not runining the image but it is causing some problems when trying to be precise with my selections.
Has anyone seen this problem before? I can provide screen shots if that would be of any help.
Many thanks in advance,
MitchVideo driver?

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
DavidCheck 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!

Issues with Rectangular Marquee Tool [was: I have a question]
The problem is with the 'rectangular marquee tool' ... after I select a box, the tool defaults to a marquee that eliminates a portion of the first selected box. The curser changes to show the '+' curser with an 'x' in the lower right of the cursor ... how do I get rid of this?
It sounds like you have Intersect with selection enabled in the tool options bar instead of the default of New selection.
Though it sounds like you want to add to the prevous selection?
I usually just leave the default of New selection and use the following keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking on different options in the tool options bar.

Rectangular Marquee Tool no longer moves
Hi, I have CS2 on Windows XP. For some reason (probably operator error) I can no longer move the Rectangular Marquee Tool in a fixed size mode arond my picture. When I expand it to, for example, 8.5" x 11" it just sits there. I used to be able to expand it, then move it about the photo until I got it where I wanted to do the crop.Does anyone have any ideas what has happened? Also I notice that the crosshairs now have a little bar in the lower right quadrant when I roll my cursor on the photo. Not sure if that is significant. Thanks.
This button enabled? See the screenshot.

Rectangular Marquee Tool (Short cut M)...
I have upgraded to CS5. I cannot access to the Rectangular Marquee Tool with a short cut (M) any longer. M brings up the Eliptical Marquee Tool. Where is the Rectangular Marquee Tool? How can I access?

Rectangular Marquee Tool is a solid line
The Rectangular Marquee Tool in CS4 has started using a solid line instead of the usual dotted line. Is there some setting to revert to the dotted line somewhere, or has my software just gone haywire? Feather is 0px and Style is Normal.

Use the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" with my mouse
Hey.
When I use the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" with my mouse, it is often difficult to do it accurately.
Is there an easier way to do it than with the mouse, - can I manually enter the size of my selection ..
Any advice is welcome. -
Delete area using Rectangular Marquee Tool
Hi Sir/Mdm,
I was wondering why I cannot delete an specific area using Rectangular Marquee Tool. I have dragged the Rectangular Marquee Tool to define an area then I hit the "Del" key on the keyboard. I was prompted with the "Fill->Contents> dialog box. Pls advise and thanks in advance.What do you want to accomplish by "Delete"?
If you have a Background (no layers) then you can only fill it with pixels, as Background cannot have transparency. You can cause a fill of the background color (as shown in the background swatch in the Tools panel) without a prompt by holding the Control key down when pressing Delete.
The menu gives you access to a number of other useful fill options for a Background, such as Content Aware Fill.
To make a Background into a Layer, which can support transparency, double click the Background in the Layers panel, then confirm the dialog. Pressing Delete with a part of a non-background layer selected will simply make the selected part transparent.

Can't find rectangular marquee tool, etc.
I can select the Quick Selection Tool, which then presents the Quick Selection Tool and the Selecton Brush Tool options in the Tool Options bar (bottom left corner). But nowhere is there an option for rectangular marquee tool or elliptical tool. Please help. (This is for Elements 12)
Hi,
You need to be in Expert Mode to see all the tools - the rectangular and elliptical marquee tools share the same place with the tools options used to select which one you want.

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?

I've been searching message boards and google alike for tips on drum quantizing. One method has you highlight your drum tracks after grouping them and then using the marquee to tab to each transient, and split by locator to separate out the transients. For some reason when doing this my split by locator icon and key command both don't work. The computer just beeps when I try to use it. I havent read anywhere of anybody having this problem before so I am stumped on what to do exactly. Anyone have any advice?
Don't use the Marquee Tool; try using the Ellipse Tool set to "Paths".
Don't forget strokes in Photoshop are made of pixels and will never look like a line of similar weight drawn as a vector. -
Can I eliminate that annoying size box on Rectangular Marquee tool?
I have CS6 on two Mac computers, a desktop and a laptop. On the desktop, everytime I draw a Rectangular Marquee, a very distracting black box with dimensions comes on at the lower right corner of the selection. This does not happen with CS6 on my laptop. I can't find a control to turn this box off. Where is it?
In Preferences > Interface, set Show Transformation Values to "Never".

Vanishing point – Marquee tool – problems with pasting images
For some reason when I paste my selected image into the Vanishing Point tool it comes in with a marquee that is exactly 4 times the size of the image that I originally selected and copied. This completely throws the perspective off as for some reason it thinks my image is 4 times the size it actually is. If anyone could help it would be very appreciated.
You have to be quick...Very quick. Here is a video showing what should happen:
Benjamin -
and probably more, but when you consider how little functionality the loss of those three buttons give me, you can understand how little use I am getting out of CS6 so far.
It makes no difference whether I use 32-bit or 64-bit.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium on a relatively new Toshiba Satellite C660-1LD with 2.53 gigahertz Intel Core i3 M 380 with 3892 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory* with onboard Intel(R) HD Graphics.
(Processor & Memory details from Belarc Advisor)
I sometimes get a message on load saying that Photoshop cannot find my 3D settings (although my Graphics card has 3D capability), but as I'm not using Photoshop's 3D editing tools, this is no issue to me at present.
Any other information I can give you, I will. As you can imagine, this is hugely frustrating, and making Photoshop unusable.It's not picking up my card. heres the data...
thanks
