I went to extract a portion of a photo and after I marked it with the highlighted when I clicked fill nothing happened. Any ideas on the problem? I have used this function before with no problem.

Thanks

There is probably a little break or leak in the highlighted outline. You will have to carefully go around the outline and find and plug it. There could be more than one.

I thought of that and did several tests with clearly closed boundaries and still no fill…I’m always suspicious as to what these all to frequent XP updates do to software.

When this happens is Show Fill checked? Maybe you should trash prefs. That usually works when PS is acting weird.

Thanks for the input. I figured out the problem.
