I’m running photoshop 7.0.1 and am having a problem with the selection tool. When I use it to select an area on my canvas – it act’s like it’s set to subtract space out of my selection by default instead of simply drawing a new selection area.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so – how do I fix? I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it didn’t fix anything. Is there a settings file somewhere that might be corrupted?

Thanks,
Will Wright

Dave,

Thanks for pointing that out – I should have caught that instead of looking for a difficult solution.

Many thanks!
