 Posted: Sun Sep 12, 2010 5:48 am Post subject: Selection now crops to canvas size...HELP! |
 |
|
I *finally* upgraded from v7 to CS4, and so far I am not very happy...just took me half an hour to figure out that you have to hold ALT down first and THEN drag your layer effect to another layer without completely losing the effect from the original layer...the tabbed interface makes no sense to me whatsoever (can't believe what I have to go thru just to drag a layer from one file to another)...but anyways, here's my current and biggest problem:
When I make a marquee selection, say a circle, and I want the circle to go outside the canvas area, when I let go of the mouse the selection gets cropped to the edges of the canvas. Here's some pics illustrating how I did this in v7:
 
And here's the problem in CS4:
Is there a way to keep the off-canvas selection, or is this something I have to live with? If the latter then I am very sad, will have to go back to v7 I guess...
I posted this on a few other forums and got some rather condescending responses, so if you can help me without calling me stupid I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Hey Einstein 
I think it is the latter  Sucks when they change it on ya! Have you thought about producing one half of the arrow then double the canvas height and copy + flip, making one whole.
Also you can transform your selection or change it into a path. |

I hadn't noticed this functionality had changed in recent versions. Isn't that interesting.
It seems that if you draw the circle inside the image first, then you can drag it in and out as you please. It only crops if you draw it partially outside the image at the beginning. I hope this helps.

You can also drag panels into each others' positions. Just by clicking and dragging in this window I've dragged the timeline to the left of the stage, where the toolbar used to be, while the toolbar itself is floating; the Info panels and several others from the right have been dragged to the toolbar's customary place, and then collapsed using the arrow in the upper left-hand corner. The color mixer panel has been undocked;
