Save selection marquee?

I have Mac OS X with PS CS5. Is there a way to save an image in which I have selected a portion of an image, and have the selection marquee (marching ants) be part of the saved file so that when I reopen the file, the selection marquee is still visible? Thank you.

SRiegel, thank you. That did it! I have purchased a book about PS CS5 (almost 700 pages), but I couldn't find your solution in it. I am grateful to you.
JJMack, unless I followed your directions wrongly (which is possible), after I saved and reopened the file, the "marching ants" were gone. The reason I do not want to lose them is that I have several images involving complicated selection processing which will not get done in one session, and I need a way to save an image file with the ants still marching so that I can return to them in the morning.

Problems with selection marquee in Photoshop CS5.5 on MacBook Pro with Hi-Res Display

A few months ago i bought a 15" MacBook Pro with the hi-res display (not retina display...just the higher res display offered prior to the release of the retina display).
I'm having trouble with Photoshop and selection marquees. In particular, anytime I make a selection while viewing the image at 100% zoom level (so, actual pixels), the "marching ants" selection marquee I draw always shifts over a few pixels after I draw it.
So I'll make a precise rectangular marquee around an object, and it will look right, until I release the button on my mouse. The moment I release the mouse button, the marquee shifts over a few pixels in both directions (vertically and horizontally).
This has never happened on any version of Photoshop or on any Mac I've ever used before (and I've been using Photoshop for a LONG time on LOTS of different Macs), so I can only assume it has something to do with the Hi-Res display. This same version of Photoshop works just fine on my previous MacBook Pro laptop. But after installing it on the new MacBook, immediately - and consistently, every time - it happens.
If I zoom in and use the tool, it doesn't have the problem. It seems to only occur when viewing at 100% (which is usually for me), but it does do it EVERY TIME I use the rectangular marque tool.
It's driving me a little bit batty.
Anyone else?

An update...I had thought to try changing the Open GL settings, but it didn't seem to make any difference. However, I hadn't realized that you need to restart Photoshop for changes made to the Open GL preferences to take effect, so I wasn't actually changing anything.
Turns out, it's an Open GL drawing issue - and disabling it fixes the problem.
Of course, you also lose all of the other enhancements that come from enabling Open GL drawing.
I'm only leaving this discussion up in case anyone else with the same problem stumbles across the issue.

Save selection criteria in payment wizard

Hello,
Does anyone know what the option 'Save selection criteria only' at the end of the payment wizard actually means? Does it mean it will save the criteria you choose e.g selecting a specific property and BP group or does it mean it will save the results returned from your selection criteria the previous time you ran it?
Many thanks,
Kate

Hi Gordon,
I thought the same however when I tested this it did not seem to work in this way. I selected property 6 which returned one business partner which was correct and when I got to the last step of the payment wizard i chose 'Save selection criteria only'. I then went into the BP master data record of a different supplier and ticked property 6. When I went back into the payment wizard and went through the one I had just saved, the second business partner was not displayed. If i then start a new payment run and choose property 6 in the selection criteria, both suppliers were shown. It seems to only be saving the results that it returns from the selection criteria rather than the selection criteria itself.
Kind regards,
Kate

HT201250 how do i save selected emails to time machine?

how do i save selected emails to time machine?

Don't put emails you want to save into the Trash. In the mail sidebar you should see an "On MY MAC" section below the Inbox, Trash, Junk, etc., mailboxes. You can create mailboxes in this section for emails you want to save. (I suggest you check out Mail help & at least read the overview info.)
Also, there is no point in looking for individual email files in Time Machine backups (or for that matter in the Mail folders on your HD). They are stored with names that won't make sense to you & cross-linked with database & other files Mail maintains.
You are making this harder than it is. Just let Time Machine back up everything & it will take care of the rest of it.

Save selected records?

hi
I want to save selected reocrd in my table i write these line in when button pressed commit button
begin
     go_block ('blockname');
     if :kcheck <> 'Y' then
     do_key ('delete_reord');
     else
     commit;
end if;
end;
but save all the records.
I have master and detail block.

If you insist on using a loop then try this:
begin
go_block ('blockname');
first_record;
loop
    if :kcheck <> 'Y' then
      clear_record;
    else
      Exit When :System.Last_Record = 'TRUE';
      Next_Record;
    end if;
end loop;
commit;
end;clear-record will move the cursor to the next record without an explicit next_record.
How about putting this in the button:
commit;and this in the on-update trigger:
    if :kcheck <> 'Y' then
      clear_record;
    else
      update_record;
    end if;and letting forms do its thing? (code untested)

CS4 selection marquee marching ants - bug

In Photoshop CS4 tryout in Mac OS X 10.5.5: Selection marquee is incorrectly drawn one pixel to the left of the actual selection. Simply create a new document, like 800 x 600 pixels, then select all (Command+A). The "marching ants" selection marquee is shifted one pixel to the left of where it should be. Can anyone confirm?
I'm unsure how to report this to Adobe. They don't make it very easy.
-a

Well, since it appears as if a pixel is being split by a marquee selection, and since by definition a pixel
cannot
be divided, then it's a display anomaly.
What you'll have to figure out is what region the marquee actually defines when you see what appears to be a line of marching ants running through the center of a pixel. Does the "partial" pixel end up inside or outside of the selection?
Then again, depending on the type of work being done, it may not really matter much, from a visual standpoint.

Can no longer save selections

hello
i have a grave problem and hope someone can help me.
i was working for a long time with selections in one document.
today, while i was trying to save another selection, in the save selection dialog box there was only the option to save it to a new document.
all the list of my previous selections was gone. i have closed and opened, restarted - to no effect. other documents dont have this problem.
in google i found only one other such case, however it was unanswered.
please please help me

The "save selection as channel" options don't stick

In PS CS5, I can't get the settings for the "Save selection as channel" options to stick.
My saved selections always starts out as black for the selected area although the small icon at the bottom of the channels panel shows a white circle on a black background. When I click the channel thumbnail to bring up the settings dialog it's always set to "Color indicates selected areas". Of course I can change it, but I would like the setting to remain on the "Color indicates masked areas". Is there a setting somewhere that has eluded me?
Thanks for any help.

OK, when I posted my question I saw the "more like this" sidebar, in which I found the answer : the settings for Quick Mask are used as defaults. So my question is answered. I had searched the forums before posting but hadn't found anything.

OBIEE11g Save Selection Requirement

Hi,
we have a requirement where we need to save search criteria in database and make all those search criteria make it available to end users as link on every dashboard.
There would a different search/prompt page where users will search the criteria and all those selections are saved when clicked on SAVE button to database. We are thinking of using webservices to update all those selection in database.
But my doubt is, if I retrieve all those selection from database as a link, how can I make sure that once user click on any link (Search1,Search2) my current dashboard page takes the saved criteria and refresh my dashboard page? Links remain same for all the dashboard.
Let me know if you have any idea on this.
Thanks in advance.

Select Objects Only Inside The Selection Marquee

Is there a way to make Illustrator select only the objects that are fully inside the selection marquee? As it is, it selects everything the marquee touches.

if you don't mind work arounds...I posted a script that does the job, look at post # 11

Help! Photoshop save selection got corrupted; help me fix

My copy of Photoshop is saving an inverse mask in Channels when I use "Selection>Save Selection", whereas it saves the standard mask in Channels when I save the selection using the mask button in the Channels Panel.
I noticed that my other install of Photoshop saves the same result by both methods.
How do I repair Photoshop so that it doesn't invert selections when using "Selection>Save Selection"?

Save selection as...

makes a duplicate of the entire file. why ?
do it. save selection as 'smallPieceFromTheBiggerFile.aiff'
your selection wasn't saved, a duplicate of the entire bigger file was made.
juusst save the selection...it's okay

Are you using the audio editing window? If you create a region in the arrange page by cutting or dragging, double click on it, it opens in the audio editing window as the "black" part of the whole file. Under >file> is >"Save selection as" which saves just the region you have created and adds it to your audio bin.

Hide selection marquee...

Hi!
I seem to remember a little script that hides the selection marquee (little dotted outline) of an embedded SWF within a webpage?
Can you please advise?
Thanks.

Here's an alternative that I found:
a:active { outline: none; }
a:focus { -moz-outline-style: none; }
or:
object:active, div:active { outline: none; }
object:focus, div:focus { outline: none; }

Multi-track view option to save selection of mulitple tracks

Hi, I'm not sure if there is another way of doing what I am doing but if there is please tell me! ... If theres not then this should be a valid enhancement request for a future release ... This is what I am currently doing to create samples: Working in Multi-track view I am making a selction accross tasks and then when I am happy I write down the begin and end of my selection. For a 5 minute piece thats alot of writing down! ..(I have 50 or so numbers) .. I then switch to edit mode for each of the tracks that I want. I then punch in the numbers to make my selection and use the save slection option to save the sample to my folder typing the numbers into my filenames so I can keep track! ... In order to get the samples I want from a typical 5 minute piece it can take me days and is very soul destroying! ... So .. to my enhancement request .. once the selection is made in multitrack view it shoud be possible to save all selections as seperate samples using a file naming convention made up of the track name and the begin and end numbers... QED ...This would be brilliant! .....menawhile, back to the slog until someone puts me out of my misery! ...alan

Alan [good name],
You could try selecting your range (maybe place markers at each end),
then File | Export | Audio Mix Down.
Choose TRACK as your source and SELECTION as your range.
Each track (and the master) will be mixed down and saved as separate files.
Rather than renaming all the files, consider putting them
into a new folder - which you can name appropriately.
Of course, using this method all effects, levels, etc. are
applied before saving.
I agree that a more direct approach is desirable,
but if you can live with mixed down files, this will help.
