    CS5 Lasso Bugs (major)

    bsnyder175 Community Member

      2 things:

       

      - you can't zoom in and out anymore with the scroll wheel, during a lasso selection

      - you can't pan around anymore with the spacebar when zoomed in with the lasso selection (it actually adds Points after you let up on the space bar without clicking)

       

      These 2 features alone have forced me to downgrade back to CS3 until they're fixed.  They're 100% needed to function correctly during my daily workflow.

          Lasso is actually a terrible tool. Use it for quick rough compositing that’s about it.

          Time to learn about the wonderful world of masks!

            If you mean when you are Option clicking to get straight selections, all you have to do is make sure that you press the spacebar before you let the Option key go, and then again press the Option key before you let the space bar go. Might take a couple of uses to get used to, but the function is still there.

             

            Hope this helps

              Thanks for the reply.  I'm talking about regular selections.

               

              i.e. polygonal lasso tool, zoom in, begin your selection, and hold spacebar to pan around the image.  The selection should only make vertices by clicking the mouse, not by letting spacebar go.  Spacebar is only used to pan around the image when using the lasso tool.  However, like I say, sometimes when letting the spacebar go after a pan, a vertex gets placed.  I've been using these 2 functions in PS3 for years without issue.  They're both broken in CS5 though.

                Weird, it works fine here... Does not add any points while panning with the spacebar.
