Using the Lasso to deselect objects?

In CS5, I tried to use the lasso tool while holding down the alt command to deselect selected items and it does not seem to work? It works to add objects to a selection when I hold down shift though. Does it not work this way?
Thanks.

Perdon, perdon por favor!
There most certainly is a way to have the lasso deselect points. With the lasso active, hold option (alt in Windows, I assume), then encircle the point(s) you wish to deselect. You said you were also holding the command key? Don't.

Using the Lasso Tool crashing Photoshop CC

Hi,
Looking for some help as to why Photoshop crashes at least once a day, sometimes more when using the basic Lasso Tool.
I'm using Photoshop CC, and it's completely up to date. I'm on Windows 8.1. I'm a freelance illustrator and use the lasso tool when doing all of my artwork. It crashes on any image I'm working, smaller stuff to larger files, from small amount of layers to over 200. I'll use the lasso, typically holding alt to use the polygonal option and I'll notice when clicking to close my shape, photoshop will completely stop working. I'll have to open the task manager and completely end the program. Crashes across the board from CMYK to RGB, in 8 bits.
Looking for some help / ideas. Please let me know if you need any other info, thanks.

Hi Chris,
I've updated the system driver on the wacom, which was released in March. I also tried the mouse and also seems to be up to date. Here's a shot of the task manager when freezes. Does that help at all?
I've just had a freeze 2 minutes ago. I've been waiting for it to happen, hoping the wacom driver might change. Apparently not.

When I use the lasso background turns on the grid

Hi
I am using Photoshop CS5 on MAC. When I use the lasso tool and after closing the selection, background turns automatically on the grid background (white and grey squares) . I cant change it back to grey solid background. Please help in solving this problem.
WJ

I dont want to change that in preferences because the grid background is very useful when I cut out with lasso tool from a photo. I just want to turn off the grid around my photo (red outline)
Thank you

I don’t quite follow your description but if it’s just about the display of transparent areas that can be changed in the Preferences.

Using the Lasso

hay all! I have a question. I want to change the background
of an image to transparent but leave the person the way it is, then
create a new layer with the same image with the transparent
background and have a drop shadow on the person. My question is,
how can I use the lasso to trace a line around the person. I have
about 15 pics that I have to do the same way? thanks

Edgardo,
In my experience each image presents a different challenge.
So depending
on what I am going to cut out I will use different
techniques. I don't
think there is a quick and dirty way to do what you want.
If there are large areas of color the Magic Wand will quicken
the
process. The Polygon Lasso tool will help you add and remove
selection
sections.
Using Select > Convert Marquee to Path will become your
best friend for
this task. Paths can be changed with ease to fit the figures
better.
But there will be some work involved.
Stephane has a great tutorial at:

When using the lasso tools, how do i disengage from it, in order to adjust it?

When i am in the process of creating a selection, with the lasso tools, I would like to disengage from the tool, briefly to adjust my selection and then to return and continue to make the selection. If i press the space bar, it does disengage; but the hand tool becomes active at the same time. If i click on the options with the tool, to either add or subtract from the selection, as i drag the mouse to do this, i cause the tool to continue to outline, when i would like it to stop. It seems to remind me of when i used to use an old etcher sketcher magnetic drawing toy, from the late 1970's. ( if you are old enough to know what i mean that is)! Does anyone have a solution to this problem.

The magnetic lasso tool is very useful and is suited admirably for selecting tiles or shingles. It is important to set up the tool for the task at hand. In the tool's option bar I start out with Feather=1px, check anti alias, Width=2px, Contrast=3%.
If things don't go well, the first change that I make is to the contrast setting and give it another try. One can back-track by hitting delete on the keyboard, left click to lay down one or more anchor points, then go on to circumnavigate the area to be selected.
Now, after having made a complex selection, going to Layer>new>layer via copy puts the selection on its own layer, with surrounding transparency (checker-board pattern). One can use the eraser tool to tidy up, if required.
I offer this as my workflow. Not infrequently there are several ways to do things in this program.

Using the edit as Smart Object option.

I'm probably way behind the ball here, but I can't understand how the edit as smart object works. Sure I can open the file as a smart object in PS3, I can, say, apply the Distort/Lens filter to do a perspective transformation - but then how do I save and send it back to Lightroom? Using Export Smart Object just seems to send a file back to Lightroom but my transformation has disappeared. Close and save will create a file - so I still end up creating a new Tif everytime I use PS - but now manually synchronise. Where is the benefit?
I know I need a nice Video Tutorial or instruction but can't find one!
Anyone know of one?
Many thanks. Peter

> Yes, add me to the list of being in need of an explanation of how exactly this is supposed to work. I'm hoping that it might be included in the Michael Reichmann and Jeff Schewe video that I purchased recently but as yet haven't downloaded all episodes.
There's a bunch of free videos on the NAPP site. They have an episode on Photoshop integration too. http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom2/
It's pretty clear how it should work from that video, except that it doesn't. Another bug, perhaps.
EDIT: Also it has been mentioned many times that one should have the PS CS3 10.0.1 Patch installed in order to get this going.

Using the lasso in spectral editing.

In previous versions I could take the lasso selections and move them past the lower and upper limits of the spectral view -- I could also get the lasso to select everything that fell within it's marque (for example if I want to cut a whole word and move/paste it elsewhere) but in CS 5.5 no matter what I do I can't get the lasso to grab the really low frequencies.
Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

There are many times where words overlap and the only way I can separate them is visually using the spectral edit view (I like the linear display mode best, I have a hard time "reading" the logarithmic modes) -- often times I'll start to say a word and realize I pronounced it wrong or meant to say something else and I can correct myself easily in the flow of speaking while recording... having the ability to surgically cut out and replace the bad word (or stuttering) is a vital part of my audio editing workflow.
It looks like the issue is an "Anti-aliased" and/or "Softened" selection mode on by default with the lasso -- I remember the older version having similar issues early on but I can't remember how I got it work the way I wanted, but I do know that if I made my selection past the bottom edge of the spectral display it would cut all the way down to the lowest frequencies cleanly.
The main reason I can work with Audition so well is the spectral display -- it allows me the ability to work with my wacom tablet and eyes like I do in any graphics application -- and I am much more skilled in that arena than with my ears/waveform view (although for really tough clicks and pops that is often the best solution)
BTW the other thing that is driving me a bit batty is moving the timeline to the top instead of the bottom -- panning/scrolling by just grabbing the timeline was much easier and more intuitive with it at the bottom (as it was previously).
I'm not sure how the phrase those things for a request submission though...

I need help with using the Make With Top Object envelope distortion.

I'm doing a project for school called "Ocean Of Stars". I have a few objects,a sheet of purple stars and a few blue gradient colored circles. I need to merge the stars and the circles as one object, but when I click the Make with top object command, the color in the cicles disappear. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
this is what my screen looks like now.
And this is what I need to make.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

His spheres are 3d yours are 2d. See what happens when you revolve a 1/2 a sphere. You will find a way to apply the stars in that same dialog box if you look really hard.

How to use the jquery UI slider object in Edge to control the play head

Edge seems to automatically load jquery {I think} because I see a lot of $.{...} code in the code file. I want to do something like ... add the jquery UI slider as a symbol into my assets library then place an instance of the slider on my stage. Then I can start coding event handlers that get the position of the slider and then reposition the play head to the trigger associated with the number returned from the slider. The slider seemed to be controlled in jquery and the play head control is in the Edge api. they both seem to work with js functions ... so I'm looking for a way to get them working together in the Edge code that I see for a stage.

You could try to load jquery ui and then apply it to the symbol.
There are serveral ways to load a script.
Example 1 for draggable
$.getScript("js/jquery-ui-1.9.1.custom.min.js", function() {
var info = sym.$("info");
info.draggable({ disabled: false });
info.draggable({ snap: true });
info.draggable({ axis: "x" });
Example 2
yepnope(
    nope:[
        'js/jquery-ui-1.9.1.custom.min.js',
    complete: init
function init() {
    var mySymbol= sym.getSymbol("symbolName");
    // do something

How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

Hello Forum.
How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool. But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
So I tried something new. I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area. Then I coped this area. Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator. But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
How do I make the background transparent.
I made this small video to show what I am talking about:
http://youtu.be/2LgMGEF6z10

Don't Copy/Paste the image.
Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

[CS6] Reverting the cursors which now have arrows in the top left corner. (like the lasso)

Hello there,
I've been using photoshop CS6 since it came out of beta, and I've been happy with 99% of the interface changes, except for some of the the new tool cursors which now have arrows in the upper left corner. I've been meaning to post this a while ago, but it seemed that the forums were offline.
One example is the crop tool, but what mainly hinders me are the lassos and paint bucket cursor icons. Is there any way I can replace those with the original ones from cs5 and prior?
When you pick up a tool, and it has an icon of an object (i.e. a lasso), your instinct is to look at and use the tip of that object, not some little black arrow in a corner.
For example, you wouldn't want to have an arrow next to your text cursor, or next to your magic wand cursor, would you? You'd want to use the tip of the wand.
I'm not sure what part of the user community suggested these little arrows be added on those tools, but I find it to be a bad design idea. And it's an annoying choice imo, beacause it doesn't make sense from an interaction design point of view, and not because it would be hard for me to get wrid of my habit of using the tip of the lasso, and to get used to the arrow instead. It's bad, because now, there are two conflicting pointers in the same tool: the icon tip and the arrow tip.
Cheers!
[EDIT] I'm sure people will say that they prefer the new design, arguing about "design consistency" and whatnot. So this is why I ask if there's a way for me to replace the cursors in my photoshop, not everyone's.

Hey Noel -
I definitely appreciate your perspective on this. In frustration, I did a google search to see if anyone else was bothered by this change, and that's how I found this thread. I'm happy to adapt, and I realize that Adobe has invested a huge amount of resources in perfecting their products with every rev - but I also know that customer voices are (or should be) an important part of that process. On the off-chance that some small usability issue got overlooked in the vast number of considerations that Adobe designers and developers have to make throughout their process - I thought it might be a good idea to be heard on the matter.
I hope that's not close minded. But it's always possible that I have a hole in my head.

Error -25596 when trying to connect to use the Informix Online Server native data source

Hi All,
We currently use a very old version on crystal (v9) and have recently downloaded the current version (14.1.1.1036) in order to investigate the effort involved in upgrading.
In the past we have always connected to our IBM Informix Server using the native Crystal Reports Informix Online Server data source, but all attempts with the current version of Crystal Reports are failing with error -25596.
The error is reported by Informix and it has this description:
-25596 The INFORMIXSERVER value is not listed in the sqlhosts file or the
Registry.
The default database server name that the INFORMIXSERVER environment
variable specifies must be a valid database server name in the file
$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts on UNIX or the registry on Windows. Check
that the specified server is listed in the sqlhosts file or the
registry.
However, I'm of the opinion that the server is known and is configured OK (it's configured using the Informix SetNet32 application and it has resulted in this registry key being populated:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Informix\SqlHosts\prod1_devdb1 (NB: prod1_devdb1 is the name of the server I am trying to connect to).
I can create ODBC datasources on my PC and they work OK. I can also run our legacy VB6 application (using the Crystal 9 COM objects) and connect using the native drivers to the Informix database.
My PC is running 64 bit Windows 7 Enterprise (fully patched). Our Informix server is version 11.7 running on a SUSE server.
Any suggestions for where to start looking to solve this?

Splitting a Flattened Image into Layers so I can use the Paint Bucket to change colors

I have what I think is a flattened image that is part of a Website template. (I'm assuming the image is flattened, because when I use the paint bucket to change the color, it colors the whole thing; and when I use the magic wand, the whole image is selected). I need to be able to use the paint bucket to change the colors. What do I have to do to make the image work that way? The image is made to look like you're looking left to right at four file folders. The folder labels are a different color. Is there some way to separate the folders (now in green), the folder labels (now in yellow), and the white background from each other, so I can apply the paint bucket to different layers later? I've worked on this for hours now, and can't seem to find the answer. I'll have to change the colors in the image at least 10 different times, so I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to using the brush or pencil tools.

Darlene,
Another way is to use the Replace Color Tool. The Hue/Saturation method is probably easier, but I thought I'd mention Replace Color for your information.

In my example I changed the 3rd label in your picture to red.
1. Roughly select the label using the Lasso tools.
2. Enchance>Adjust Color>Replace Color.
3. Click on the label in the picture; it will appear in the box as white on black background. In general you would move the fuzziness slider until just the portion you wish to change appears white. In this case since the yellow is uniform with sharp border the fuzziness slider had minimal additional effect, but I did move it all the way right to capture the fringe pixels.
4. Play with the 3 Transform sliders to get the desired result.
In this next example I changed the top of the lighthouse from red to green (why I would want to do that, I don't know!).

Note that in this case I didn't have to move the fuzziness all the way right.

Using magnetic lasso...is there a way to change selection without re-lassoing?

When using the lasso to maybe select a person out of a photo, its generally not THAT accurate in certain spots. when the lasso cuts into the photo area that you are trying to cut out, I find I have to start the process all over again. Is there a way to go back a few points and try again?
Once i have completed the lasso and I see that points of it cut into the photo, is there a way to edit the selection edges?

So they're called "fastening points" and not "anchor points", i'm not going to remember that considering how often i use that tool

To erase recently drawn segments and fastening points,
press the Delete key until you’ve erased the fastening points for
the desired segment.
(works with Backspace too, not only with Delete)

Using the Lasso to deselect objects?
