Question

Photoshop 2022 Object Selection tool does not select.

I have just subscribed to Ps 2022.  When I enable the Object Selection Tool an object will be highlighted when I hover but there is no response at all when I left-click to complete the selection of the object.

@MarkM1953 I suspect it's because your graphics card is underpowered - and the driver is out of date.

Name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 530
VRAM: 134 MB

Driver date: 2017-03-28 000000.000000-000
Driver age: 57 months

 

You could try updating the driver - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/products/88345/graphics/graphics-for-6th-generation-intel-processors/intel-hd-graphics-530.html but getting a modern graphics card with at least 4GB of dedicated VRAM would be your best bet.

Thanks Jeffrey

I updated the driver as per your supplied link.

Object Selection Tool now works, but quite sluggishly.  Given my card's gross shortfall in VRAM this could only be expected.. .  I'll certainly be updating it.

 

Out of curiousity... .  Prior to your reply I was exploring my 'new' Photoshop CC.

I discovered in 'Masking' that I could 'Select Sky' but not 'Select Subject'.  Instead, I would get an error message  ' Unable to load AI selection model.'  This feature is now working correctly.  Is this a direct consequence of upgrading the graphics driver? 

Regards

Goodness me Jeffery, this is huge!?

Thank you for your offer. I will assume that you have seen my reply to Ranjish.

Sadly, his suggested solution was not effective. I certainly hope that this assists your detective work...

I was so disappointed when I was unable to use the Object Selection Tool. I certainly hope that it proves to be something relatively simple.... .

Hi Ranjisha

I am a later-age (almost 70yo...) adopter of things digital... . Photography is my passion.
I purchased Ps CS6 some years ago and have regularly 'attended' YouTube 'University' to develop my editing skills. I am now basically adept in it's use to my current level of skill.

My main camera is the Sony A9 and has been for some time. CS6 will not process A9 RAW images and consequently I have edited only in Jpeg. I now believe that my current skill levels can begin to take advantage of RAW files. As the Object Selection Tool would be of immense value as well, I subscribed to Photoshop 2022 almost 2 days ago.

Having seen on YouTube how the tool works I opened it as soon as the download process was complete. I waited until the Refresh Object Finder 'arrows' were stationary. I immediately found that while I could 'hover and highlight' an object, when I left-clicked - nothing happened. When I moved the cursor away, the highlight shading would then disappear... . This was consistent across several high contrast images whether Jpeg or RAW.

I have tried your recommendation of 'RESET TOOL' and RESET ALL TOOLS' - no change!

'Select Subject' usually produces 'marching ants' somewhere on the image.

I run Windows 10 and have used it for several years on a PC. (Medion - recently upgraded to 16Gb DRAM and 1Tb SSD in addition to the native 2Tb hard drive).

Thank you for your input Ranjisha. I've had an offer of further assistance in the event that your suggested solution was ineffective. It centers on 'Preferences'... .

Regards Mark M.

If none of @Ranjisha Sengupta solutions help, it may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

Hi there,

 

Sorry about the trouble experienced.

Would you mind sharing which versions of windows and Photoshop you're on? Are you able to use other tools for the selection of the object? 

 

Please try to reset the tools followed by Photoshop preferences. 
To reset all the tools at once, right-click on the icon of whatever tool is currently selected in the Tool Options, select “Reset All Tools,” and then click “OK.” When you use the Reset All Tools option, this will also reset all the tool selections in the Tools bar to their defaults.
You may try resetting Photoshop preferences back to defaults and check if that helps. Here's the article for the steps: https://adobe.ly/3ceal5t 

Also, back up the existing Photoshop preferences if you have any custom brushes, action, and workspace: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG 

 

Let us know how it goes. 

Thanks,
Ranjisha
