content aware scale does the same as transform scale

I have made 2 selections to protect details on a cactus flower photo, made an alpha channel,  and  selected it in Edit>content aware scale  exactly as directed by books and videos.

The selection rectangle looks and acts the same as it does in Transform>scale. It sits around only the 2 round selections, not around the picture borders like it should.

The 2 selections may be hard to see. They are circles in the upper right and lower left of the rectangle.

Dragging the handles moves the selections and leaves holes, just like in Transform>scale.

The picture is mostly solid content, with details in the selections. It should work fine.

Is this a defective CS6 on my iMac ? Or is there a fix?

Hi

Those steps work here - but try this :

Make you alpha channel

Press Ctrl+D to deselect

Press Ctrl+A to Select All

Then run content aware scale, setting the Alpha channel in the protect box in the options bar

Yes! This works. Many thanks.

I don't know how I missed this in the many articles and books I studied.

After creating your Alpha channel press Ctrl+D to deselect then use Content Aware scale, setting the Alpha channel in the protect box in the options bar

Thanks, but that doesn't work. (It's one of the first things I tried.)

Deselecting   grays out the Edit>content aware scale so that it can't be used   and stops further progress.

Any other ideas?
