Elliptical Marquee Tool selection

[tersmuse]

How crazy is the Elliptical Marquee Tool? It extends centrally when not using a key (cmd, ctrl, shift, alt …).

Please change that, it's nonsensical. Top left is standard.

Uncheck 'From Centre' on the toolbar at the top and the marquee will work as expected.

It should be standard, without a checkbox. Like the Ellipse Tool. That would save a lot of questions in the forum.

Thanks for your answer, I did not know that!

Hi @tersmuse,

Further to Bryan's post, you can ensure that 'From Centre' will be unchecked as default when using this tool on future documents by unchecking this option and going to Edit > Defaults > Save. 🙂
