Great Site! Hi!
CS2 / WindowsXP - Usually when I DESELECT an image (the marching ants) by keys CONTROL-D, or by right-clicking the drop down DESELECT, isn't there another way to DESELECT by...
... just r-clicking away from the image using the mouse to deselect the marching ants? I'm drawing a blank and I have tons of copy, pasting to do, and my right hand is getting very, very tired. I'm sure I used this function before, I just forgot how to enable this function.
I have been to the EDIT> KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS and PREFERENCES, but nowhere can I find this.
Am I tripping, or is there a way to actually do this?
Unless you hold the Shift key down, left clicking inside the image and outside the current selection will start a new selection and clear the old one. There isn't enough information in your post to determine if this is what you are after. OTOH, if, as you say, your "right hand is getting very, very tired," what's wrong with the Ctrl-D method? Unless you have a very strange keyboard indeed, that's a left-hand operation.
