How to quickly select rectangle
in [Photoshop Graphics]

From: Robert Montgomery on 19 May 2010 20:56 How can I quickly select a rectangular image in CS3? The canvas size exceeds the image size. I have Snap-To Guides selected, but if I use the Rectangular Marquee Tool while zoomed out, the image either too much or too little of the image is grabbed. So I have to zoom in to the pixel level at one corner, and then drag the opposite corner of the selection to the opposite corner of the image, and it can take minutes while scrolling at the pixel level to get to the far edge of the image. Thanks. Robert

Sorry if I've misunderstood your problem. R.

Has CTRL-A stopped working in CS3? no, it didnt stop - you skipped reading the the OP's second sentence: "The canvas size exceeds the image size" > Or selecting the marquee tool, right clicking on the image and clicking > SELECT ALL from the pop-up? Have these basic functions been removed from > Photoshop?
