Resizing a rectangular marquee

[dougkerr]

I am currently working with AP/W beta 1.5.0.37

 

I draw a rectangular selection marquee with the Rectangular Marquee Tool (with the mode set to "New").

 

After it is done, I can drag on any place in it to move the marquee.

 

Sometimes, if I lay the mouse on an edge of the marquee, I can drag that edge to resize the marquee. (The mouse pointer changes to show me that this is what I can do.)

 

Sometimes I can't.

 

What am I missing here?

 

I note that earlier in my testing, I drew an elliptical marquee. I tried to see how I might resize it, and I couln;t find any way.

 

Now I can no longer resize a rectangular marquee.

 

I closed AP, loaded an image, and made a rectangular marquee. I cannot resize it.

Hi dougkerr,

As far as I know there's no way to change the dimensions of a selection marquee unless you enter in Quick Mask mode (press Q) and use the Move tool to transform it as if it was a regular shape (at least on a Mac). I will check if I can replicate that on Windows.
