Whenever I attempt to use any sort of selection tool, whether it be pen, marquee, quick select, etc, my Photoshop glitches out at the selection. (Example in picture below). This also messes with my zoom tool on the whole image, making it slower to zoom, (Cannot think of a good way to describe this) and slightly blurs together some of the pixels in my image. I only have this problem on the image I used the tool on. As soon as I switch to another tab, I don't have this problem until I use a select tool on that tab.
I'm not sure whether I hit some buttons and messed it up, or whether my Photoshop is just glitching out on me. Though this doesn't impede my ability to use Photoshop, it's definitely a nuisance and makes things more difficult. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks!


(This was after simply making a circle with the ellipitcal marquee tool.)

Do you use an ATI graphics card?

Yes, ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series
(No clue what any of that means. :))

ATI and Photoshop don't play nice together.
First download latest drivers for your ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series
You can get them here:

If you still have problems try:
Edit > Preferences > Performance > GPU settings > Advanced Settings > Mode = set it to either Normal or Basic.
