Polygonal Lasso Tool Problems [2019]

Hi everyone,

 

Using the Polygonal Lasso Tool, and this one only, my Photoshop often freezes and stops working. I don't know if this could be ascribed to a low RAM problem, because many other operations more demanding don't cause this issue. Is there anyone else who had the same problem and maybe solved it?

 

Thank you very much,

 

Simone

    Hey system wise there is no problem. Kindly remove your RAM and fix it after cleaned. 

     

    Try resetting your Photoshop prefrences. 

    General Tab in Photoshop preferences.

    If you can't open the application to do that use this technique:

    Close Photoshop, Double click on Adobe Photoshop icon to launch it, QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift,
    When a dialog appears, ask you “Delete Photoshop Preference Files?” Click Yes.

    If that doesn't help, come back here for more suggestions.

    I have the same problem.
    I upgraded RAM but the problem still comes out.
    I don't think Adobe will fix it.

      Hi,

       

      it is not a problem of RAM nor CPU, I think it is some kind of conflict with Win. Infact it was solved by the following update and whilst it created other conflicts with other tools the last one  (v.21.2.1) seems to have solved them all (so far).

      Resetting preferences did not work for me. I have one layer, feather se t to 0, yet the polgon lasso tool almost always gives me the 0 pixels selected or less than 40 % selected. It also closes before I finish my polygon, and then opens at a new start point seemingly at some random point.
