Joachim_L Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The selection of the Elliptical Marquee Tool simply vanishes after making the selection. Same happens with Column / Row Marquee Tool. Selections only working with the Rectangular and Freehand Selection Tool.

Joachim_L Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hmmm, still found something to dislike. Select a marquee tool with Feather 0px, make a selection and then try to change the Feather to any higher value. A Feather value change after a initial setting does not work. But maybe I forget a setting?

Joachim_L Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 I know this now, but wouldn't it be better if the value slider would be not accessible after the selection? An active option always implies, that changes are possible.

PaulEC Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 It certainly seems that it would be better to be able to adjust feathering after you've made the selection, rather than guessing what setting to use, then have to redo the selection if you get it wrong.

An active option always implies, that changes are possible. You can also use Boolean operators to combine multiple selections that have different edge sharpnesses. Therefore, the option must always be active. If you want to change the edge sharpness later, use the menu command "Select" -> "Edge sharpness". walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
