P: Inaccurate selections with Radeon graphics cards on Mac OS

thanks Michael, found your workaround suggestion for the selection tool and it's doing the trick just fine. Much appreciated.

Bingo.

Thanks, Chris. So basically, everyone waits for an OSX, not Adobe CS update?

Yes, we know about that and similar problems (cursor is not in the right place, shifts, etc.). Apple is continuing to work on their driver bugs in 10.7.

Here's video explaining the part about color picker.
You have to try to pick color of a particular pixel from area with a lot of different colors in it (text with anti-aliasing is a good example). You'll see that when I pick color and release mouse button, cursor changes to a circle and a different color is selected.

Similar trouble with the selection tool.

As it was mentioned above, the selection tool is not the only one affected.

When using color picker and dragging cursor to pick color from a certain point, on mouse release, cursor changes from eyedropper to a brush-like circle, and shifts 1px to the left.

So annoying.

MacBookPro
AMD Radeon HD 6490M
MacOSX 10.7.2

I have this same issue on Windows 7 running a Radeon HD 6800 card.

It's annoying, but Michael's suggestion above to make selections based on actual cursor position rather than the actual selection box/line/marching ants works like a charm.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I hope we can get this sorted out!

Shot in the dark here, but, I if there are any interim work arounds that you guys have come across or that might be worth trying, i'm happy to be the guinea pig. Just let me know.

You are reading things into my replies that simply do not exist. I'm giving you the facts - that is all.

Michael- I just needed a little clarification, so thanks.

Chris- Your attitude toward people who are taking the time to provide feedback about Adobe's products is insulting.
