AP.45 (not beta) - Multiple selections with control key.

[aaturner]

I am trying to make multiple selections on an image using the elliptical marquee tool [M]. I thought that I had to press the control key to achieve this, but it does not work - nor does any combination of keys allow me to make multiple selections. 

 

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks

When making selections there are toolbar buttons at the top for new/add/subtract/intersect.

 

Add mode will add to a selection etc.

 

The selection modes are a great feature and are quite powerful.

You can also read the hintline at the bottom of the window, which tells you what the modifier keys do with the current tool. Moving to the Questions forum.

Thanks for clarification. Using the toolbar at top the buttons work as expected. Regarding adding a selection, the hint at the bottom isn't very clear; "Drag + Rightmouse" adds a selection but deletes the original, previously drawn selection when the right mouse button is released. The only way I got the hint to work (i.e. add a new selection) was to "Drag + Right Button + Left Button" and then release the left button before releasing the right one. A bit cumbersome; is that the way it is supposed to operate?
