Question

In Photoshop 2026 the Lasso Tool selects an area to the right of where I'm selecting.

When I use the Lasso Tool in Photoshop version 27.3.1 the selection appears to the right of where my Lasso Tool is pointed. In the included picture I started to at the top left of the dog leash and dragged down on the left, then over to the other side of the leash where it attaches to the dog collar, then up along the right side and finally across the top to the left side of the leash. You can see the selection show where I started, but completes on the far right of the leash. 

My Performance option “Use Graphics Processor” is checked. Note: I’ve unchecked this option and the problem is still the same.

    Hey, ​@Dean1128. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll move this post to discussions. I'll need more info to help you figure this out.

    Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > upload and attach here. Are you using a stylus or just a regular mouse and keyboard?

     

    In this case, you can start by resetting the Lasso Tool. Right-click the Tool icon in the Toolbar menu, then select Reset Tool.

     

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thanks!
