Error messages when trying to make selection

Hi, I am new at Photoshop, I use CS6, and today I followed a tutorial on how to make a robot on a picture and at first everything went ok but when I was almost done and tried to make a selection with the lasso tool I all of a sudden got an error message that says "Warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible." And when I press OK my selection is not there. I had no problem when I started the project but now it won't work.

And now I get this error messages everytime I try to make a selection and it doesn't matter if I use the pen, marque or whatever.

Anyone here who knows what I'm doing wrong?

Best regards

Basically, what that warning message is telling you is that the "marching ants," will not be fully representative of your Selection.

Now, if you want to make a Selection, that includes 100% of the pixels, check the Lasso Options, to make sure that you do not have something like a large Feather, with a small Selection.

Good luck,

Hunt

Thank you, that helped me. The guy in the tutorial that I followed use CS4 and there he uses Feather 60% and I tried that but somehow that didn't work on CS6.

It's not an error - just an information message telling you something important.

And the tutorial probably used a different selection, or a different resolution where that feather radius (NOT percentage) worked just fine.
