Selection outline is black line instead of marching ants?

Hi,
I'm making a selection using the Quick Selection tool and the outline is a black line, not the usual marching ants. I also tried drawing a shape with the rounded rectangle tool to make a manilla folder, so the tab had to overlap. I could not get the black line on the overlapping tab to go away. Is there any way to change this? How did it happen in the first place?
Thanks,
Kelly

I am not certain I understand you but I think you are using one of the shape tools which will create a shape layer and the shape is a path.
In order to make the path a selection you go to the Path panel and while the path is selected with the Path Selection Tool (Black Arrow) or selecting the path in
Path panel go to the bottom of the panel and hit the icon to make the path a selection as show or command or control click on the path in the panel.
Or you can right click or control click on the path in the document window and choose to make selection from the contextual menu.
I see you used the rounded rectangle tool so you are using a shape tool.

  • Officejet 6310 prints solid black line instead of text.

    Good day. My officejet 6310 has started printing a 3/8" solid black line instead of text. I've replaced both color and black cartridges. I've also run align and clean cartridges. Does anyone have helpful suggestions?

    This type of result is often due to errors in the HP printer drivers. Several things can be tried. Sometimes, using a tested driver for an older, but compatible printer will do the job. A lot of folks used the use the HPLJ2 driver even with HPLJ3 and 4 systems. Another option is to try to print as a graphic. At this point, I can only suggest playing around with things. A lot of folks like the graphic driver aspect instead.
    You might also consider printing to the printer in a PS mode rather than PCL if that option is available.
    I am only suggesting things I have seen tried by various folks. I don't have a good explanation.

  • When i try to scroll on a image webside it scips to the bottom and then to the top of the image w/ a vertical black line instead of the curser

    whaen i try to sroll on images on a website that has a gallery and where there is a description up top and a image in th middle and more txt on the sides the scrolling is extremly choppy when i use the arrow keys to scroll

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed

  • Bad Screen Laptop Screen - showing blue lines instead of black

    I have an old laptop HP Pavilion DV7-1448dx, the screen shows blue lines instead of black. I tried using TV as a monitor and it doesnt have any problem, it only shows on the laptop. I replaced the LCD screen with a brand new screen but it still shows the same problem. I attached the pictures of what my screen looks like. It only shows this on the black color and the others are ok. Pls help! 

    @luv2travl ,
    Hello and welcome to the HP support forum.  Thank you for posting about your display issue.
    It sounds as if the RGB output of the graphics card has become a bit off in your case.  You have replaced the screen so the output that supplies the LCD from the graphics card is the issue.  
    As you stated on a VGA output to a TV it looks normal. Therefor it isnt the card totally having the problem.  
    Here is a link you can check out on display issues.
    Display Quality Issues
    Here is a link to your systems Maintenance and Service guide as well.  One thing you may want to check is the actual cable that connects the screen to the motherboard.  This is the easiest and cheapest part to work with.  
    If you replace the connection cable from the motherboard to the monitor this may fix the issue.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus - vertical black lines only when autofeed

    I have multiple black lines (darkest about 3 inches from left) when I autofeed a print document. When I feed a clean sheet, I get the single dark line. There are no lines if I copy using the top glass,  I followed the HP autofeed cleaning instructions TWICE. The white rollers were clean and only slight black smudge on the black rollers. I am certain this has happened to others...Oh yes, my HP warranty expired in late March (Costco may cover it if this is not a simple fix).
    I would appreciate any assistance, as this has been a great printer.

    This article should help out with the problem you are facing. Give the steps outlined a try and let us know if it helps.

  • How to remove the black line from a stacked canvas at run time???

    Hi All,
    I've developed a stacked canvas within a content canvas, when I run the form the stacked canvas apeared with a black line takes it.
    How to remove this line or how to disappear this line at run time??
    I tried to do this by putting (no line) in tools palette to the line color tool after selecting the black line one and after selecting the stacked canvas another once, but this did not resolve the problem!
    I need something else:
    I put the stacked canvas at detail data block and it didn't appear since I execute query in master data block
    How to appear the stacked canvas directly before executing query in master data block???

    Hi,
    u mean the border line? In stacked canvas property, select contour/outline and set it to none.
    Make sure, the stacked canvas is behind the content canvas in the objectnavigator. Then check your
    properties of the stacked canvas:
    - Position on content canvas
    - size
    - size of clipping
    Set stacked canvas property automatic visible to yes.
    Make sure the stacked canvas is not overlayed by other stacked canvas or items.

  • Weird black lines around windows

    Macbook Pro 15in. Mid 2010
    Processor:  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory:  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics:  Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
    Software:  OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    Hey everyone,
    Whenever I open different apps, (Word, Preview, Reminders, etc.) or when I hover over apps to select them, I get these weird black lines that outline the window. I have reset the PRAM before and it fixed it temporarily, but then it returned. If I go to "displays" and switch from 1440 x 900 to 1344 x 840, and then switch it back, it gets rid of the black lines. Any ideas?? I've included a photo of what it looks like. As you can see, the black lines on the left of the window is what I am talking about. Any ideas or information will be greatly appreciated. EDIT: This did not occur until after I had upgraded to Mavericks when it came out.

    Hello S:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    i think the cause could have been a finder add-on i used for a while (totalfinder), since it was an alpha build.
    Almost assuredly (I will not give a lecture on Alpha or Beta software). Did you uninstall it somehow?
    In any event, you have a couple of options.
    Easiest first - trash a couple of preference files (com.apple.dock.plist and com.apple.finder.plist) and restart.
    If that does not work, I would restore (hopefully you have one) the system to a point before you added the Alpha software.

  • CS3 Outline Stroke Parallel Lines Bug

    Hello everyone...
    I'll try to explain my issue as best as possible. I am using Illy CS3 on Win XP Pro.
    I am creating installation instructions for an electronic product and need to show wire routing.
    I created an art brush of two parallel black lines two different ways (two black lines and two black lines with a white line between them) and am getting the same result when I apply the Object>Path>Outline Stroke command.
    What is happening is instead of Outlining each of the strokes and individual paths, Illustrator is outlining the space between the two strokes as one filled, closed path.
    Perhaps this is expected behavior. However, Illustrator CS4 (which I use at home on a Mac) outlines the stroke as I would expect it to with the two lines as individual paths.
    Does anyone know of a workaround or any way for Illustrator CS3 to behave in a similar way to how CS4 handles the strokes?
    Any help is truly appreciated.
    Many Thanks!

    I can't follow your description, and can't replicate the problem trying to follow it.
    > I created an art brush of two parallel black lines two different ways (two black lines and two black lines with a white line between them) and am getting the same result when I apply the Object>Path>Outline Stroke command.
    Explain "two black lines and two black lines with a white line between them".
    Brush 1 built from:
    Two parallel open paths, each with a black stroke?
    Brush 2 built from:
    Three parallel open paths, equally distributed, the two outermost ones having a black stroke, the middle one having a white stroke?
    When you say "situated between them" are you talking about stacking order (paths with different weight strokes stacked in same location) or spacing (three parallel paths distributed vertically)?
    You say you've created these two ArtBrushes and are then applying Object>Path>Outline Stroke. Are you in fact talking about outlining the strokes to the artwork
    before converting it to an ArtBrush, or applying Outline Stroke to a path to which you already applied the ArtBrush?
    Describe EXACTLY, step-by-step, command-by-command, the simplest steps necessary to replicate the problem. Don't use ambiguous terms like "line". Use the terms of the program.

  • Black lines not all showing up the same color when exported as any type file

    Hi everyone,
    I could really use some help as this is driving me crazy! Whenever I upload my Illustrator file with my logo online or export my logo as any type of file, certain black lines are lighter than others. I checked in Illustrator by clicking the lines that were showing up different shades when exported and all have the same #000000.
    Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately my file is set up like a hot mess. Everything is in the same layer and I should have definitely done multiple ones. This is only the second logo I've designed and I'm learning as I go. Basically I did an image trace of the drawing and then went back and manually fixed lines. Instead of having only a few to select I have many all in the same layer as my color.
    I noticed my vector logo works fine when exported. It's the files where I am resizing it that are coming up in the different colors.

  • Marching Ants? I have solid line...

    Whenever I make a selection with the lasso tool, marquee, etc... literally anything that should show "marching ants" I get a solid black line - hard to read against black, obviously.  Anyone know why?  I am hoping there's a preference somewhere to revert back (to the past 15 years of experience with the) marching ants... Thanks!
    Using an intel 15" Macbook (white), CS5, OS 10.6.  I can provide more system info if needed.

    BAM!  Holding down Command+Option+Shift did the trick immediately after restarting PS.  Resetting the tool (right click on the tool in the option bar) did not work.
    To be perfectly honest, I can't say if it did that from day one.  I feel like it had the marching ants, and I must have fat fingered some quick key to change it.  The interface was so different from CS3 (which is what I was using previously), I wasn't aware of when it changed.  For instance, during panning, there's now inertia... Not a fan, but maybe it will grow on me.
    Thanks for the quick and accurate answer, PECourtejoie!
    (if it makes any difference at this point, yes, I am running OpenGL... "Basic" mode is the only available option)

  • Mwaaaa! I just want a black line round my images!

    Not all these fancy borders and stuff!
    I've just installed PE9 (today, actually!) but already it's giving me a migraine! I'm creating a vBulletin moderator training manual and all I want to do it put a thin black line around an image for definition and neatness.
    For years I've used anAdobe PhotoDelux Home Edition v4 (yeah - really, really old! - just like me! ). It's served me well but is very basic and I wanted to do more. So as a starter, I thought I'd try something I've been doing for years but can I find it? No siree!
    Please give an old gal some help, folks! I want it to look like this

    With your image open in the Editor press ctrl+A to select all (you will see the marching ants)
    On the Menu click Edit >>Stroke
    Set the width to 1px and choose black as your color and select inside edge.
    Click OK.

    Change the AngledLine class to store two points instead of 3 points (I would rename the class to be StraightLine). The code is much simpler because you just store the starting and ending points and you don't need to calculate the middle point.

  • HP Laserjet Pro MFP M12fn, printing a solid black line on every paper

    I'm running windows 7 professional. I haven't received any error messages and nothing out of the oridarny has happened. My printer/scanner/fax/copy (My HP Laserjet Pro MFP M12fn, product # CZ181A) is printing with a black line down the entire paper, but its only doing it thru the feeder and not on the glass. HELP, How can I fix this? 

    Welcome to the HP Forums angelinaOO7,
    I read your post, which indicates that you are getting a black line down the page when using the feeder. You can print fine from the glass. I can help you with this.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Clean the scanning glass and platen.
    Turn the printer off.
    Disconnect the power cord from the product and the wall outlet.
    Open the scanner lid.
    Clean the following scanner areas with a soft cloth or sponge that has been moistened with nonabrasive glass cleaner.
    Main scanner glass.
    Small scanner glass to the left of the main scanner glass.
    White plastic backing.
    Dry the glass and white plastic backing with a chamois or a cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.
    Plug the power cord into the product and the wall outlet.
    Turn the printer on.
    Try to make another copy.
    If you are still having issues, then update the printer's firmware.

  • How to fix black horizantal black lines on 2010macbook pro 17' screen?

    Hi everyone!
    I come to the community for help after  looking everywhere on the internet. I've had a problem now with my computer for a while where these strange black lines (always horizontal in nature) appear on my screen. I have two pictures below:
    http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh521/violentfirebomb/blacklines02_zps5de5cc 51.jpg
    http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh521/violentfirebomb/blacklines01_zpsfe260c 8d.jpg
    These black lines will appear out of no where and they won't go away unless I select whatever is there and move my mouse. If it's across some font, I can select the font and easily go over the black line and it'll disappear.
    Also, the more permanent things is random drop shadows from open windows won't work or the shadow won't work in places. Sometimes the font below a folder or above an icon on my dock will just be gone, like a chunk of it missing the size of those black lines you see in pictures above.
    Is it something I can fix? Should I take it into the genius bar? My computer is a 17' Macbook Pro from 2010 and I'll be honest, this never happened until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even reinstalled Mountain Lion but the black lines and random text as well as drop shadow disappearances have returned.
    Let me know what everyone thinks!  I'd like to solve this mystery as quickly as I can! Thanks in advance.
    Leslie

    When you have problems with the display, there are usually three possibilities:  The wire connection is faulty, the display is faulty or the GPU is having problems.  All are are hardware issues that cannot be solved by software and generally do not fall into the do it yourself category.
