Select Color Range not Working

i have been using adobe photoshop for over 10 years and suddenly, when i try to select color range, nothing is showing up as selected. even with a simple black and white image, with white or black as the sampled color, nothing gets selected. i don't if something changed in the application or if it is somehow not working correctly on mine. please help.

Hi,
What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
Nothing seems to be selected in the preview or when you actually exit color range?

PS CS5: select color range not working properly

The color range is a grate command but it doesn't work properly when dragging the eye dropper across the image. This is especially noticeable with a low range value. When you start the selection (without pressing the shift key) and drag across the image only the end point is selected instead of the whole trace. Second, when dragging with the shift key pressed not the trace is added to the selection but a rectangular area. You can easily try this out by creating any one color image and lower the range value to about 5.
In my opinion this is a bug or am I missing something?

Hello,
When you start the selection (without pressing the shift key) and drag across the image only the end point is selected instead of the whole trace.
This behavior is as designed. When you make a selection without holding the shift key, and you have the first eyedropper selected in the menu (the one that doesn't have a plus or minus sign) you are a making an initial selection on the image. If you hold and drag this selection, it will just change the initial selection to match whatever destination you prefer on the image.
Second, when dragging with the shift key pressed not the trace is added to the selection but a rectangular area.
I can reproduce this behavior, too. I believe this is also as designed, because the range is too small to make an organic looking selection. I think the more standard workflow is to start with the range high (100%), make the selection of the localized color area you want to mask, and then reduce the range value as needed.
Color Range isn't terribly intuitive to me, but it can be a powerful selection tool. Photoshop Evangelist Russell Brown has a really good tutorial on Adobe TV about using color range. Have you seen this before?

Select Color Range, fails v13.1.1 on Retina Display Mac

Is there a trick to getting the new Color Range selection function to work on a retina Mac Book Pro?
I am quite familiar with the color range selection in the previous version of Photoshop, and used it regularly. I've decided to try as simply as possible by using a flat image (no layers), and trying to select colors. I've increased the contrast in the image to make darks and lights much easier to pull out.
I've explored setting the sample size to point-sample up to 3x3, and 5x5. I've also set the resolution of my display to 2880 x 1800 (to reduce the possiblility of anti-aliasing problems).
It will not make any selection though, using the eye-dropper sample.
Using other options will work, such as Highlights, Shadows, Skin Tones, etc., but it won't do anything with Sampled Colors.

SO very glad I'm not the only one with this seemingly EXACT same issue.
System:
Photoshop CS6 via Creative Cloud membership.
Windows 7 Home Premium
16GB Ram
Issue:
Select > Color Range used to work perfectly before update 13.1.1
Now since the update 13.1.1 Color Range doesn't do jack properly. Selecting any color doesn't do anything. sometimes if I select a white it will act as though I've pulled out a gray.. but even one pixel difference will make it deselect. This only happens with Sampled Colors. All otehr color range preselections work as advertised. This would be great if I didn't need the precision afforded to me with Sampled Colors. This is mission critical to my daily work as a scren printing artist and have been unable to find a succesful workaround.
Is there at least a way (without having to uninstall/reinstall) to downgrade back to 13.0.x until this bug is found and fixed?

Select- Color Range- Results in Blue Screen (PC) (driver out of date)

I've been using the CS6 beta about two days. While experimenting with color range I experienced two consecutive blue screen crashes. The first time it happened,I was working with the color range selector and was replacing the selected areas with another color using the paint bucket. About the third time I attempted this, my PC blue screened. The second time, I opened a photo, went to Select>Color Range and got an immediate blue screen crash.
I then went back to CS5 and I've been playing with the same scenario with no apparent problems.
My PC is a store built computer. It consists of an MSI 990-FXA GD80 motherboard, an AMD Phenom 1100t CPU, Asus GTX550 Ti graphics card and 8 gig of RAM. It boots from a 60 gig SSD and my programs reside on a 500 gig hard drive. The OS is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. CS6 is using the hard drive for its scratch disk and Photoshop is using 4339 mb of the 7232 mb of available RAM - I haven't changed that. I'm running CS6 as administrator because the way it installed, it would only run in that fashion.
One disappointment during the installation was CS6 made no attempt to read my preferences from the CS5 install. That may be covered in another post, I've not yet looked.
Please keep us informed as new betas are released, because I would like some time to work with this puppy before plunking down big bux for the upgrade. As it is now, I'm going back to CS5. I get mighty nervous when my super computer blue screens!

The GPU is often at root of issues like yours. I've had so many problems with Nvidia drivers for their gaming-oriented adapters (like yours) that I finally went with one of their workstation cards. I have a Quadro card with just enough RAM to make Photoshop happy. The workstation drivers are optimized for reliability, the consumer card drivers are optimized for gaming and that often means they're less stable and reliable with Photoshop.

Select tool (similar to Select Color Range) based on Contrast

This would be useful on its on or in conjunction with the Color Range tool. Maybe a beefed up Select Range tool.
Color Range has difficulty with gradients & whatnot. Selecting using Contrast would be a way to overcome this. It would work best if it had some of the same functionality of Levels so that an upper and lower range could be fine-tuned. It would also need to take into account a previous selection made with the Lasso or some other way in order to exclude or include only the parts of the img that are being targeted.

As an example, there is an image of a person that is taken against the sky. I want to select the person only. The sky is a low-contrast area of the img and I want to select everything but that area without actually affecting the img.
Not the sky, but the idea is here. I used brightness/contrast for the 2nd & contrast only on the 3rd img.

Select list pagination not working for big tables

Hi,
i am trying to view a table with large amount of data using tabular form. the pagination using select list is not working in this page. i have selected select list kind of pagination but it is showing "row range 1-15 16-30(with set pagination)' type of pagination. when i lowered the amount of data in the table the pagination type will automatically change to select list pagination. could you please tell me why this happens and any possible work around if any.
Thanks,
Jo

Hi Jo,
I don't know what you call a large amount of records, but the effect you describe might be intentional by apex.
The select list pagination would generate a selection tag with (number of records in table/15) options in your page HTML.
Although there isn't a hard limit to the number of options a select list can have there certainly is a limit to what your browser/pc can render.
Think about it
Let's say you table contains a million rows. this would result to a select list with 66666 options. Which your browser won't handle :)
I very possible the apex team resolved this by simply reverting to row range pagination when the number of select options would grow to large.

Select() function is not working properly in solaris 10.

Hi ,
We are facing an issue with select() in Solaris 10. we had written a sample program to this issue.
Program name :- sel.cpp
int main()
struct timeval sleeptime;
sleeptime.tv_sec = 60;
printf("1\n");
select(0,NULL,NULL,NULL,&sleeptime);
printf("2");
return 0;
When i run this program in Solaris 9, its printing 1 and after one minute its printing 2.
When i run this program on Solaris 10, its printing 1 and 2 without waiting for 60 seconds.
When i tried to print tv_usec, its printing as 0 in solaris 9 and some garbage values in solaris 10.
I think because of that the above select function is not working properly in solaris 10.
Why the tv_usec is not taking 0 as default values in Solaris 10?
We are using our legacy code for past 20 years. So, before going to do any changes we are trying to find why this happenig like this.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Srikanth.

It sounds to me that you've been lucky for 20 years then.
Local POD variables on the stack that aren't explicitly initialized can contain any value. Here's what I see in your app with dbx
(dbx) run
Running: sel
stopped in main at line 9 in file "sel.cpp"
    9      sleeptime.tv_sec = 60;
(dbx) print sleeptime
sleeptime = {
    tv_sec = -4198732
    tv_usec = 0
}That's on a Solaris 10 SPARC machine. If I try it on a Solaris 10 x86 box then I get
(dbx) print sleeptime
sleeptime = {
tv_sec = -830490588
tv_usec = 134510556
and I see the behaviour that you describe.

The Control A key is not working. I cannot multi-select my songs. I'm not sure if it is the problem with iTunes 10.6.1.7 or my PC settings encounter issues. Also, i cannot find Album Artwork online using iTunes and i cannot select any view form but List.

Select query is not working in BDC Program

Hi,
I am working in BDC for update valuation class for T-code mm01.Actually In this BDC i am using two recoding based on material type.
i am using two internal table : I_DATA and ITAB
Use I_DATA to hold excle data in which material No, plant , valuation type , valuation No. and ITAB for material No, material type Only.
So, i am fetching material Type ( MARA-MTART ) through select query. But Select query is not working. and also i did check MARA table according that Material Number then material no. exit in Mara Table.
Note : at run time I_DATA have 1 row but ITAB have 0 row ....
DATA: BEGIN OF I_DATA OCCURS 0,
MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR,
WERKS TYPE MARC-WERKS,
BWTAR TYPE RMMG1-BWTAR,
VERPR TYPE BMMH1-VERPR,
BKLAS TYPE MBEW-BKLAS,
STATUS TYPE C,
END OF I_DATA.
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,
MTART LIKE MARA-MTART,
END OF ITAB.
Loop at I_DATA.
select matnr mtart from mara into table itab where matnr = I_DATA-matnr.
endloop.
Guide me..........

If you use your
Loop at I_DATA.
select matnr mtart from mara into table itab
    where matnr = I_DATA-matnr.
endloop.
At end of loop, itab will only contain the result of the last select, so use a
Loop at I_DATA.
select matnr mtart from mara APPENDING table itab
    where matnr = I_DATA-matnr.
endloop.
better
if I_DATA[] is not initial.
select matnr mtart from mara into table itab
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_data where matnr = i_data-matnr.
endif.
Some Remarks
- If actually required (where does I_DATA come from, is it an external format, you need the internal value to use in SELECT statement), check via SE11 the correct [conversion exit|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/35/26b217afab52b9e10000009b38f974/content.htm] associated with domain MATNR (Is it truly ALPHA, and not something like MATN1, so [CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=conversion_exit_matn1_input])
- You could try to use BAPI like [BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=bapi_material_savedata] and not BDC
