CaroleA Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 I am looking everywhere, but can't find it. It might just be hidden somewhere. Can I create a "custom rectangular selection" based on pixel position? For example, if I want a selection to be 10 pixels from the top, 100 pixels from the bottom, 50 pixels from the left and 30 pixels from the right. Quote

Press Q key for quickmask>select movetool(V)>adjust the selection in the transform panel to your liking. Press Q key again to leave the quickmask. Thank you. I didn't know about the Quickmask. However, it still requires me to "guess" the exact position, correct? I don't see anywhere to enter the specific values. Quote
Old Bruce Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 Make a rectangle shape of the correct size and location, use the Transform panel. Use Select > Selection from layer and you will have it. You will have to do some simple arithmetic to get the 100 from the bottom and 30 from the right.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

There is no place to enter the specific values for the selection, correct? I have to guess or calculate the exact placement. Having a place to just enter the values would be simpler, but I guess it is not an option. Quote
