[Shira Bracha]

Hi,

My name is Shira, I am a graphic designer, and I design for a Jewelry Company.

I joined this forum, because I have come across a problem with my Photoshop CS4, and cant figure out what seems to be wrong.

I use the pen tool to crop images. Usually everything is great - I outline the image, and the cut outs (the middle parts of the image that need to be cropped too..) and select the path, mask the image, and its all great.

Recently - when I tried to select the path, it would only grab the outer path I'd made and not select the middle.

Now, I am trying to use the tool and its not working altogether - and is telling me that I have no pixels to select.

If someone can pleease help me with this! I'm so stuck!!!

Thanks

I'm not the best with Vectors or the pen tool yet but I'm sure someone will help you soon. I'm just here to say welcome to the forum.

Your terminology is not completely clear to me but it sounds like you are working with compound paths. Check the tool options in the top tool bar. See this post: http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/forum-tutorials/28704-compound-paths.html

Thanks for the link, I tried all those options it didn't fix the problem. I have two paths on one layer - so splitting the paths onto two layers worked (eg.. 2 circles separated that I want to cut out of the image...)... but it shouldn't be doing this...

Posting a screenshot would be helpful to see exactly what you are doing. However your posteems to indicate that you are doing what you have always done and getting a different result, for some unknown reason. If that is the case, you may want to try deleting the preferences file, doing so has been known to cure odd behavior in PS.
