 Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2009 5:26 am Post subject: Expand selection gives me chamfered corners |
 |
|
Hi
I'm using CS4 on the Mac. A feature that I use quite a bit is expand selection.
When I do an expand selection even on a simple shape like a square the selection expands but the new selection has chamfered corners, or angled corners. I don't want this I just want clean 90 degree corners.
I've tried everything I can think of to change this, I've even returned to the factory defaults and it still does it.
For some simple selections you can just modify it manually but for more complex ones you can't.
Can anyone help me with this and return my expand selection to normal. |

Hey Ricky,
As far as I know, "Modify>Anything" has always done this. I use it 100 times a day to fill in mask outlines but I've never used it for anything needing nice sharp corners. Did it ever work?
Cheers,

Hey Ricky,
Yeah CombiBob is right, that's the way the command works. If you want to maintain the sharpness in the corners you'll need to use something like the Transform Selection option under the select menu.
Hope that helps
