    Selection now crops to canvas size...HELP!

    Yes, that works as you describe. But let's say in your above graphic you want a circular arc above the text that goes off the side edges (which means the circle width is going to be larger than your canvas)...when you drag the large circle and let go, it will be cropped, so when you stroke it...

    If I make the selection completely within the canvas then its fine, it retains its shape. I guess I'll have to make an extra large temporary canvas for making big selections and then drag them into the main file. Again, this seems like a very inefficient way to work...oh well.

    Selection now crops to canvas size...HELP!

    I can't seem to do that. As soon as I let go of the mouse the selection becomes cropped (see image)

    Selection now crops to canvas size...HELP!

    Here's what I do in v7 to create the arrow in the bottom image: I first make a triangle, then make a second layer filled with black and bump the opacity down to 50%, then make a circular selection of the area to delete.

    Selection now crops to canvas size...HELP!

    Already tried that, it opens it in a small window. When I maximize that window, I lose everything, my menu, my toolbar, my palettes...all I have is the image, the gray area outside and the rulers...?

    Selection now crops to canvas size...HELP!

    ...so every time I want a larger-than-canvas selection I have to change my canvas size...so I'll keep having to crop my image when I'm ready to save it... that doesn't seem very convenient or efficient to me... Thanks for the response anyways...I just don't get why can't I just do what I was...

    Selection now crops to canvas size...HELP!

    I *finally* upgraded from v7 to CS4, and so far I am not very happy...just took me half an hour to figure out that you have to hold ALT down first and THEN drag your layer effect to another layer without completely losing the effect from the original layer...the tabbed interface makes no sense...
