P: Photoshop 22.5 - Add to Selection not working in Action

Good workaround. If I knew I can use it I would have been doing it the same for whole month too 😉

The right version to fix it, is 22.5.1.

@Create360 make sure you're on 22.5.1 which just came a day or so ago.

found a (stupid) workaround: 'set selction' with wand doesn't work, but 'add to selection' does. so, i recorded the first step of the action to create a 1px x 1px square in the upper left corner, followed by magic wand step.

My issue was addressed and works well in 22.5.1

i have updated to 22.5 and actions that include magic wand still don't work. getting 'no pixels selected'

I can confirm that it works.

Now on to the latest redraw issues...

Thanks for fixing this but I do not see 22.5.1 listed

I'm using Javascript to script selections with the Magic Wand. The "contiguous" setting (true/false) has stopped working in the latest version of Photoshop 22.5.0. 'false' selections work, but 'true' selections now fail. Which ever way the tick button for 'Contiguous' is set for the Magic Wand tool in the interface makes no difference when running the script; 'false' always works, but 'true' doesn't. Photoshop 22.4.2 works as expected.
