1. Re: I am trying to cut out an image with the pen tool and when i make a selection it selects the whole image and not the cut out. How do i stop this?
JJMack Jul 30, 2014 3:20 AM (in response to gouge89)Pen tool normally creates a path you can add as a vector layer mask or convert to a selection and add as a layer mask or do a copy paste or invert and delete everything else from the current layer. What are your exacts steps and where does the path turn into a select all.

gouge89 Jul 30, 2014 3:23 AM (in response to JJMack)I am trying to cut a person from an image and once I have drawn the path around him and then right clicked make selection, the selection becomes the whole image instead of just the person (Which it used to do) so when I try and cut and past the person it cuts out the background and leaves the person with a white background. I don't want any background colour at all, just the cut out of the person.It has only recently started happening and cant seem to stop it. Any ideas? Thanks

gouge89 Jul 30, 2014 3:39 AM (in response to sishamDSS)This is the issue I am having, I have tried cutting out this guy and when I select make a selection it selects the whole image (Inverts the selection) I have tried changing the path operations and it still dont work. You can see from the paths tab that it has not selected the person, but the content around him which i dont want. Any ideas?

sishamDSS Jul 30, 2014 3:43 AM (in response to gouge89)You will need to have the right operation selected before you start to draw your path?
You can always for this instance to save you time Ctrl+Alt+I and invert?

sishamDSS Jul 30, 2014 3:45 AM (in response to snmbala)This doesn't resolve the actual issue, this is only a quick fix!
As I stated before try doing as I suggested in the first place and have the right operation selected before you start your path.
