|
|
I am trying to work throught the photo restoration book. I am putting together a photo that has been torn into pieces. I have to select each piece using the lasso tool, use the option key with magic wand to select it in more detail, then make a new layer to store each piece in.
The first torn piece worked out fine, when I tried to select the second piece, I used the lasso successfully, then tried to hold down the option and click the magic want, it said that there were no pixels selected. I have run into this problem before.... I started over and over reselecting this piece and every time, it said that there were no pixels selected.
What am I doing wrong? (Part of this piece (as was the last one) was along the very edge of the photo. ) |

Make sure you the have the layer with the torn pieces you are lassoing targeted (highlighted) in the layers palette. |

Years later I still get upset about it...what's wrong with this thing?? When you undo, undo to a little nothing selection you made somewhere on this huge image and forgot about it...an then nothing works!!!
