Ctrl+Alt and the Select Range tool


Recommended Posts

I would like to express my great thanks to Serif. When adjusting the size and sharpness of the brush tip, you no longer have to fiddle with two mouse buttons.
The handling when adding and subtracting selections has also improved. Serif has fortunately moved away from the right mouse button.

But why doesn't Ctrl+Alt work with the Select Range tool image.png.92993c7de44a6d40eeb89530b1fa9cc6.png (Magic Wand)?

Apologies for the delayed response here! The Flood Select Tool isn't a 'brush' and therefore doesn't have the same options available - what setting would you like to see accessible when holding CTRL & ALT with this tool please? :)

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

The "Marquee Tools" and the "Freehand Selection Tool" are also not brushes. Nevertheless the shortcuts Ctrl+Alt (+) and Alt (-) work there.

It should work the same way as the above mentioned selection tools. I see no reason to do it differently with the "Flood Select Tool". The buttons "Add" and "Subtract" in the context bar are available for all of them.

Does your answer mean that this was done on purpose?

My sincerest apologies, I misread your post and though you were referring to the new brush shortcut of CTRL + ALT on Windows, for editing the brush size, hardness etc!

I agree - this certainly feels like an oversight with the Flood Selection tool, and in my limited testing with this tool it appears that the Add and Subtract functionality is somewhat inconsistent currently - so I'll be logging these as a bug now.

Many thanks for bringing this to our attention :)
