I am just learning Photoshop and using Photoshop 7. There are a couple of weird things happening that make me wonder if I need to do a re install. I have checked the PS manual and a couple of PS books from the library. None of them has any explanation for these problems.
WT 1. I can’t close magnetic lasoo. When I finish wrapping magnetic lasoo around something, I can’t make it stop, the line keeps following my cursor, I can’t shake it loose or change to another tool or anything. It’s like having a piece of sticky tape on your finger that you just can’t shake off. Am I just stupid or what? This doesn’t happen with regular lasoo or any other tool.
WT 2. Clone stamp tool does not work in the manner in which it is described. When I select a point (alt click) the x appears and then follows my cursor around. I thought it is supposed to copy a the first spot and put it where I want to drop it, but it just follows the cursor and clones wherever it is. Interesting effect, but not what I want. I don’t know if I have explained this well enough, but I have used a clone tool in other graphics programs and it never worked like this.
Thank you for your patience. If you have any advice or suggestions, I severely appreciate it.
