Why round corners when I use marquee tool?

I use Photoshop 7.0, but hope someone can help me even though it's old.
I use the marquee tool frequently. It always used to have straight corners, but the past week it has started to automatically do round corners. I haven't changed any settings. Why does this happen?
I can mention that I use InDesign CS2. I have worked a lot with rectangles with round corners there recently, but every time changed the corners manually. After a couple of weeks though the program started to automatically change every rectangle to round corners. I didn't know how to change this, but after a couple of weeks it went back to straight corners automatically.
I use Windows Vista. Initially there was some problems to make it go with Photoshop and InDesign, but now it works fine most of the time.

Thank you, that was it! So easy!
Amazing though that when I called the Swedish support, the guy just laughed because of my old version and said he was unable to help.. I explained my problem anyway, since I thought it can't be that different between versions, but NO. He was not interested in helping me.. Makes me wonder how some people can keep their jobs..
It's because of him that we are here!
We are the real support!

  • Why when I use Brush Tool on a layer mask, I must click on somewhere else then I am able to see my effects of my previous brush on my mask

    Why when I use Brush Tool on a layer mask, I must click on somewhere else then I am able to see my effects of my previous brush on my mask.
    If I don't click click on somewhere else, I cannot even see my current brush effects
    This kind of problem really slow down my work flow. So if you guy know the solution of my problem, please let me know.
    Thanks

    Update your graphics driver/ turn off GPU usage in the performance prefs. You have an issue with hardware-based transparency handling most likely. Otherwise you could have an issue with your input device, but since you have not provided any system info, we can't really know anything.

    Windows 8?  Well known Windows bug that hasn't been fixed yet.
    Go update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website, or set the Photoshop GPU mode to Basic.

  • When I use a tool on an enlarged image the image freezes and I can't get it to move unless I change tools. I tried resetting tools and uninstalling and reloading CC. What should I do?

    When I use a tool on an enlarged image the image freezes and I can't get it to move unless I change tools. I tried resetting tools and uninstalling and reloading CC. What should I do?  Once any tool is used I can't change its size or move the image.

    Howdy,
    Sorry for the lack of info. It is Adobe Photoshop CC, I have been using
    CS5 and am trying the trial version of CC to see if it worth changing
    to. Any tool works once but freezes the tool sizing and image movement.
    I am also using the Beta version of Mac Yosemite. But the CS5 version is
    working fine.

  • Can't Use Marquee Tool

    I used to use the Marquee tool to select an area, then either
    cut/paste or copy/paste that area. I just started using FireWorks
    CS3, and the Marquee tool doesn't work that way. I select an area,
    but then I can't cut or copy it and paste it where I want.
    Does it function in a different way in this new version (I
    was using FW 4 before)? I know this has to be a simple question,
    but the FW Help file isn't helping. Thanks in advance to all.

    It should work fine. Mae sure the Pointer tool is selected
    when you try
    to move the new object.
    I have found sometimes, if FW has been running a long time,
    that the key
    commands seem to be ignored. Try using the menus for copy and
    paste, or
    restart FW and see if that helps.

  • While using marquee tool to cut and past section to new layer, outline stays transparent

    Hello,
    I am testing the trial version of Photoshop CS5.5 and I am experiencing a weird issue while using the marquee tool while selecting a portion of an image, cutting that section and pasting it to a new layer.
    First off I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 2.8Ghz Dual Core Processor, 4 Gigs Memory, 2 Gig Video card and current on updates with a fresh vanilla install of CS5.5.  Not filters or plugin installed.
    Step by step of issue is as follows,
    I take an image on layer 1 and while using the marquee tool select and area on that image.  I want to cut and Past In Place that selection on a new layer, layer 3. 
    This will allow me to insert another layer, layer 2, in between layer 1 and layer 3 and show what ever I place on layer 2 but still have a complete background if the image does not fill the entire transparent section.
    A good example is a wanted poster.  You have your picture frame with the Wanted letters and reward.  In the center you have a transparent square.  In the back you have a black background.  In between the frame and the background you place a face.  The face will not fill the entire sqaure so you will see some of the black back ground.
    Now the problem appears to be that the dotted line of the marquee selection makes so you can see your selection stays transparent or deletes the ares directly unter it when you cut and past to a new layer.  The transparent outline looks to be the same size of the dotted line when that selection is selected.  I have looked and searched for this promblem and resolution but can not see one. 
    The picture below is the result after I deselect the area.  You can see just above another section that I tried to cover up but did not get it all.  
    This is driving me nuts and I just can not figure out what is causing this behavior.  If I try and stretch the section, it skews the contents out of proportion.
    An suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated!
                                    Marquee Selection, Animated Lines                                                                Cut And Past In Place And Selection Deselected
    Thanks

    Instead of cut, one way is to duplicate the layer and add a layer mask from the selection. Alt click on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel to add a Layer Mask>Hide Selection.
    Then you can put a layer in the middle.
    The reason your seeing what's in your screenshot is the selection is anti-aliased,

  • Photoshop 5: blacking out when I use certain tools

    I have Photoshop 5. Everything is up to date.
    Most of the time when I use the crop tool or patch tool, it will black out when I am circling what I want to change or crop. I can't see what I'm cropping, I just have guess, and the same thing with my crop tool. It's been happening for a very long time. Almost since I first purchased it.

    Do you really mean the ancient, obsolete Photoshop 5?  Or did you mean Photoshop CS5 a.k.a. Photoshop 12.x?

    Change the edge type from feathered to anti-aliased in the

    inspector.

    > i have 500+ fonts
    Take out 250 fonts. See if the problem goes away. If it does, then you know the bad font is in them. Load the other fonts back in small batches (10-12) and test after each one.
    If the first 250 fonts does not solve the problem, take out most of the other 250 ... leave only the basic fonts that came with the system. Then load the others in 10-12 at a time, testing after each.
    Free fonts are not always free. Sometimes you have to spend a lot of time to make sure they are good fonts.

  • Use Marquee tool to draw an ellipse over a photo

    I am trying to write a user's guide.  I take screen shots and then bring them into Photoshop elements.  In previous versions I was able to use the Marquee tool to draw an ellipse over a portion of the screen I wanted to discuss.  See below:  It was very easy to do.  Now I am using PE 8 and I cannot seem to do it.

    Thanks for your help.
    I tried it but really don't like the results.  See below:
    the ellipse is soft and washed out.  Compare it with the one I was able to do with the previous version of PE:
    which is crisp and has that little open flourish at the right side.It looks like a drawn image.  Much more professional looking.

  • Unable to constrain rectangle using marquee tool

    Holding down the shift key while using the marquee tool to draw a rectangle does not work. That is, the rectangle is not constrained to a square using this technique. I think the problem may be with settings for this tool. I cannot see how to restore the defaults in Preferences. Restoring the Essentials workspace to the default did not help. How can I constrain rectangles and ovals using the marquee and lasso tools? Thanks.

    Hi,
    What version of photoshop are you using?
    You can reset the defaults for one tool or all the tools by right clicking on tool icon in the tool options bar.
    That could also happen if you have something other than New Selection enabled in the tool options bar.
