Hi all. I have Photoshop CS2, and whenever I outline something with the lasso tool, or click the magic wand in areas, once I make my fixes or changes, I cannot shut them off (I'm talking about using them one at a time) and continue on with my work. I have to close out and reopen the photo every single time. Tonight I have to darken and sharpen like 50 pieces of chocolate..what would normally take 10 minutes will take an hour or more if I don't remedy this *sigh* (tried reinstalling, no change)

Strange problem... so clicking outside the workspace doesn't work?

Try going to the top menu

Select > Deselect

Reset your Pref file? Ctrl+Alt+Shift held whilst opening Photoshop (keep held).

Thanks for your replies. I acually found a way so I wouldn't have to close and reopen. I click on the square above the lasso, and it shuts them both off :) Very strange, indeed!
